osso, those bathrooms are awesome. most of the third world practices the same system - it's that way in India and Cambodia at least. It's great. You can scrub and hose it down and it dries tout de suite. Some people use a squeegee (sp?) to move the excess water towards the drain and then it's really dry in less than a minute and always always clean. If I ever buy a house, this is certainly a must.
10 days!!!
well, he leaves on the 11th day, counting from tomorrow.
You and littlek should buy a nice big box of chocolates and count out 20 of them. Each night you should each eat a chocolate until your unwelcome housemate departs - then you should eat whatever is left. Maybe buy two boxes.
i like that idea. i think it may just be 4 boxes, to make the transition easy and sweet.

Dag, watch your back! Someone stole your vowels!
How many days? I said, how many friggin days!?!?! <shudder>
My 3.5 year old nephew went into the bathroom to pee. He likes to do this on his own, but leaves the door open (which allows me to keep an eye - or ear - on him). I was in the next room, he'd gone to the bathroom. I hear HM#3's voice very low and listen: "What are you doing in here? Are you going to pee?" ACK!
I jumped up and all but ran to the bathroom where my nephew was looking a little nervous. HM#3 was standing in the doorway, in his black tightie whities and black socks - nothing else. No shirt, no shorts. So, I involuntarily shielded my view of HM#3, ran into the bathroom, and slammed the door muttering, "he'll be done in a minute."
ack. ok, i'm running away to work. seems like he's not going anywhere today again. ten loooong days, but still only ten of them.
Sheesh! All that stuff about the fruit flies? Dis-gusting! Only ten more days, and you two can celebrate!!
This morning after the bathroom incident, we had yet another fruit fly chat. He was putting his watermelon rinds in a plastic bag (remember I conceded the plastic bag instead of taking the stuff directly to the outside bins). He asked is it was ok to put the plastic bags in the trash. I looked at him puzzled because I thought that's what we agreed to just yesterday.
So, then he said, "I know you wanted me to bring them outside."
"Yes, that would be best," I said.
"Harumph," he said.
I thought: Why are we having this stoopid conversation again? "And, by the way," I said, "put your banana peels in bags too."
"Huff," he said. He said this quite clearly and literally. "Huff" Just like that.
still no signs of packing?
it only requires us to have patience at this point. just to wait him out. then we'll get rid of the flies, spray his room and bathroom with non-diluted bleach, burn 200 scented candles in his room, perform cleansing rituals and drink and feast to celebrate the occasion.
yes, and excorcise demons.
I think we should. I think a little pagan/shaman/witchcraft sompin or other is in order. For closure. Or we could just kick him in the ass on his way out.
Should have said, "listen, asshole. If you have a problem putting your fruit in bags or taking it out, then you don't have a problem with fruit flies. Which means, you won't have a problem when I take your fruit rinds out of the trash and throw them in your bedroom, right?"
What an ass. Of course, telling him he shouldn't use plastic bags is going overboard....don't think you did though.
