Would it be possible to just spray him with Lysol as he exits his room?

Laughing that would work.

honestly, i myself don't care that much about the hands washing thing. (not that i told him that i don't care much). but i was there when Kris asked him to do so, repeatedly. I think he washes his hands only when Kris is at home and can see or hear that. Otherwise not that I have ever seen. Weird.

I'm going to work up some kind of Rube Goldberg contraption

http://simpler-solutions.net/pmachinefree/images/uploads/rube_napkin.gif

- that will automatically release Lysol at him when the door opens from his side. There are a buncha engineers here that should be able to help.

It can't be much harder than those buckets of water hung over doors as practical jokes.

Can it?

Nope. He fed himself inbetween, but no cleaning. Not self, not the house.

Uneventful. Kitchen was cleaned- even the floor looked ok. The rest of the house - I cannot tell. He may have sweapt, not sure.

All I know is that he was done with cleaning within the time span of my jog- I fled from the housecleaning to go running in rain. Since it was first time in a looong time, I'm sure I didn't run for more than 30 minutes. Kitchen floor was dry when I got back. Ha. But cleaner than last time, at least. He may have sweapt the rest, it's hard for me to tell... But that would be some kinda record to clean it all in under 30 minutes... I didn't ask.

I was preoccupied. My computer finally croaked. Had to be sweapt clean. Oy.

We sort of chatted after the computer crash. It was funny, sort of. At least now it is. I told him what happened, and he started on proselytizing about Macs. I said I don't want a Mac, because I travel a lot, I need accessible cheap service around the globe and Dell has that, and that I'm generally happy with Dell- had great experience with their customer service, today as well. This not being their fault, but rather some stupid card I bought on ebay fault. It was as if I was talking to a wall. Mac mac mac. Mac mac mac mac. Mac mac mac. I said I'll look into it when I'm replacing a computer (which I'm not right now). He said.... Mac. Mac mac mac mac mac. I said "yeah, uh-huh, buh-bye now." He said... mac mac macmacmac mac mac mac.

So tell me, Dag. Does this guy like Macs or what? Can't quite get the gist.

Laughing


on a more serious note, i lost even my damn op-ed. not that i was ever going to finish it. Plus, my wicked wise boss used it as an attachment (I sent to to him merely for inspiration) to several senators and congressmen, so i'd have to write from scratch again.

I feel....defeated. visa, computers... all systems are against me. Must be some seriously bad karma. Perhaps I need to be nicer to the housemate #3. Confused

Stuff just happens, kid.

I have a copy of the op ed article. If you want it, I'll send it. I know you have to start all over, but it could serve as a starting point--if you want to write another one. Just let me know.

I've been there. I think Mac's suit some people better. Not all people.

Right. I know at least two other people of that sort. Funny how people get all passioinate about Mac (and not Dell like myself... Rolling Eyes )

We had two or three civilized little conversations. That has to be a record of some sort.

I was strangely drawn to this thread. (Perhaps it was my name being repeated about a hundred times?)
