Anyone else hate folding and putting laundry away? I have four clean loads sitting in baskets. Time to get at it. Another load in the washer. Sigh. It never ends, and it doesn't fold itself.

That's what I hate about it, Marty. It never ends. Never.
Dish after dish, sock after sock. Lol.
Can we push a "halt" button and stop the flow in order to catch up??
This morning I woke up to a 90% clean kitchen countertop and that thrilled me. He actually loaded the dishwasher twice it appears. I praised him profusely
I keep thinking I'll get paper plates and plastic forks and cups and eat like that for a week or two and get the kitchen spotless for once. It's not "eco friendly" and then we'd be hypocrites taking out the recycle box to the curb, says my husband. Yeah, yeah, whatever.

SP - just do it. It would only be temporary. Get caught up, then go back to real dishes. I have people living with me who never load or unload the dishwasher. I keep paper plates around for them.

Hi snowdawg
Glad your neighbour has legged it Mesa - hopefully he will stay away for a while or better still get himself arrested
Someone a while back (LBrain I think) mentioned how crap the internet is - I heartily concur, bombarded by ads for the thing I am trying to find a review of bah! Gonna try mumsnet
Never bought or carved a pumpkin. Even when my daughters were young Halloween was a fairly low key thing in UK. It's a bigger deal now. I think I will have a go in a few days - will have to Google pumpkin recipes and a beginners guide to pumpkin carving.
KIC 8462852 interesting, this is now called the wtf star by scientists. Alien megastructure or (more likely) some other explanation

Yeah washing ironing folding stuff - boring. Truth be told I take my t shirts out the tumble dryer and put 'em on hangers, don't iron them. No one would give a fig if I did (changed my original word there). I live on my own with no kids/pets and I can still complain lol!

My ego just got crushed.
I just experienced a "We need to talk"
Turns out she now has a 4 day weekend over hollerween and wants to take a trip.
The best possible days for hunting in my area - halloween is king here for bucks - and a traditional hunting day for me.
So it looks like I will not be hunting now (then). I got to man up and plan a weekend getaway for her.
When I was drinking I would have said, "NO way, I'm hunting".
Now, I look forward to planning a nice weekend for her. Really, what difference does a few days make anyhow? I've already missed days hunting because I started drinking at 5AM.
They'll still be there. Besides, can't eat the antlers anyway.
I hunt for food not for trophies.

Me too Jen, when I win the lottery no more laundry
That would be supercool bimini. When the first pulsar was discovered was they were surprised the regular wavelength burst and thought it might be a beacon so they called it LGM1 (little green men)

Welp ~
No Burger Meat yet. Helen Keller could follow the Poop Trail that Cows leave. So, they either all got rounded up yesterday, or are very far down our Canyon where there's a Spring with Cattails. A Mountain Lion hangs out there, and feasts on Bambis and Cows. No need to find out right this moment if me and my Titanium Frame .357 are faster than it is. I got some decent DSL speed to enjoy first. ~10 Megs, after the Vids I'm watching consume some of the Overhead.
Looks like the Ranch Workers adjacent 'found time' to Recycle some bent Gates, and strap them in a couple of places where gaps or crappe Fence condition lets Alien Cows intrude.
In other News, I learned all the Domestic Guano at about age 12 when my Mom was quite sick. I can Iron and Vacuum with the best of 'em. My old Travel Steamer shapes up a Shirt in no time. I used to carry a loop of Twine. Loop it through one of the Hotel Hangers with no Hook, and hang it over the Shower Rod to then steam out whatever's on the Hanger. In a squeeze here, I quickly pass stuff under the Shower, and throw them in the Dryer for 10 Minutes. Good to go...
The Wireless 'Net Connection lives, thanks to a replacement Cable. Now, I got some Moab RV Trip Planning to do.

Too bad about the hunting trip, Brain. But happy wife=happy life. I don't hunt, because I don't like venison. If I hunted, it would also be for food, not trophies. I'd like to try my hand at grouse hunting sometime, though. They are tasty. I'm a good shot, and have my very own shotgun I've never even fired. Maybe sometime.
