"A clean house is a sign of a wasted life."

[Lil Missy]

I am not wasting my life this week. :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. That's for sure!

I am sure as hell not wasting my life this week either!

:bounce: :bounce:

[LibertyLover]

2. My mom had a sign in her house that read:

My house was clean last week - sorry you missed it.

I have one that says: Martha doesn't live here.

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

3. Take it up with HerrHerr

he's only got one life to live, so I hear. :evilgrin:

[madmom]

4. LOL, this made me feel good. My house from my computer desk to my

dining room table is littered with sewing and crocheting paraphernalia because my grand daughters were complaining about not having "baby clothes" at my house. So my daughter and I have been spending our xmas vacation time making Barbie clothes as well as other baby clothes for their bigger babies. My house is a shambles, but it's fun.

[Lil Missy]

5. There are more important things than a picked up house!

Enjoy the family time. :)

[Initech]

6. Then what do you call those people on Hoarders?

[Lil Missy]

7. on who??

:shrug:

[Initech]

16. Hoarders is a TV show about people who refuse to throw shit away.

[Lil Missy]

18. I'd consider that excessive.

[Z_I_Peevey]

8. Full. Filled.

[azmouse]

9. I can't live in clutter.

I know what my MIL's house is like and it's quite a bit like this:




I'm organized and clean but not ready for Better Homes and Gardens. I'm not that fussy but few minutes each day and my house is always company ready.

[Lil Missy]

13. I don't care for clutter either. That's why my packrat mother gets her own space in my house.

I get the living room, which is off limits for her junk.

[Skittles]

22. I can't live in filth

clutter - well, I'm always in a state of chaos - but there's no filth :D

[laylah]

10. My life hasn't been wasted

for years, ask kiddos, ex and current s.o. :evilgrin: That said, all of the muss and fuss in an interesting home, what I can NEVER understand is no books...NO BOOKS? :shrug:

[HopeHoops]

11. Well I certainly can't be accused of wasting my life then.

(sigh)

[Graybeard]

12. Words of wisdom from Quentin Crisp.

The flamboyant author of,"The Naked Civil Servant" once said,

"Never dust. After the first few years you can't tell the difference".

[old mark]

14. Used to work with an RN who said,"I clean my house every 3 months

whether it needs it or not."

[Lil Missy]

19. I remember a person who took a bath once a week whether needed or not.

[old mark]

24. Must get pretty lonely after a while......

Happy New Year, Missy!


mark

[Lil Missy]

29. Happy New Year to you too!

:hi: :pals:

[blueamy66]

25. Yeah, I work with her.

nt

[old mark]

31. Lucky you. I hope you have plenty of space in between, especially on the

bad days.....

[blueamy66]

32. I've often thought of leaving

a bar of soap and some shampoo on her desk.

It's just not right.

[snagglepuss]

23. LOL

Good one. Thanks for the laugh.

[crispini]

15. I've been watching too much "Hoarders"

I feel compelled to throw out as much crap as possible before the end of the week so as not to carry it into the New Year.

[struggle4progress]

17. Frickin mouse won't click itself, I always say

[nuxvomica]

27. ...

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

20. My life is SOOOOOO not wasted right now!

:rofl:

[cwydro]

21. Well, I sure must not be wasting my life, lol!

Or maybe I should not travel so much...

[meow2u3]

26. I have to waste my life

House rules. Besides, I'm allergic to dust; therefore, I must waste my life to keep from sneezing.

[CreekDog]

28. It's doesn't take any more time to keep a clean house clean than to keep a dirty house

clean enough to escape notice by the authorities.

:D

[Blasphemer]

30. LOL... though sometimes the opposite is true

There have certainly been times where my messiness reflected the nothingness of my life. But, I do agree that being overly conscious of the way things around you look and not being similarly conscious of the quality of life you and those around you are living is a waste. The warmest and most lively homes I have been in have not been the prettiest or the most well kept.
