Housework
#241
Well, I for one can't understand why the moderators haven't closed this thread down, my goodness the language you ladies use: housework, mopping, dusting, cleaning... it's just more than my delicate sensibilities can bear.
I am just going to have to put in an ignore for this thread to protect myself from this kind of talk. (Shaking my head in stunned disbelief at how some quilters behave!!)

I have 4 dogs, 2 of them shed a lot! Especially this time of year, the golden retriever has lots of winter coat to shed, I swear it looks like there's enough fur on the floors to make a small dog. No carpets here, wood and tile floors.

I don't do housework either but my ds mil once told me never apologize for a dirty house just put sympathy cards or get well cards all over the mantel. TEEE!!! HEEE!!! rofl. It works every time as noone wants to ask you about the cards

Wildyard...you are a hoot! How did you get the name "Wild"yard, that name sounds like it might be hard on your delicate sensibilities, also! :wink:[/quote]
LOL Quite the contrary, it comes from the fact that my yard, like my house is left largely to it's natural state. I believe one should interfere with nature as little as possible. LOL
Actually, it comes from the fact that when I was a Master Gardener with the Co-operative Extension, one of my specialties was habitat gardening.... encouraging the creation of spaces for wildlife in the increasing development of once rural areas. My yard was certified as "wild" by both the National Wildlife Federation and the state of Ohio.
Now I live in a very rural area of upstate NY, and my yard is wild without much help from me. LOL.
