.... and it's killing me not ruining the joke and telling them about the 3 seashells I'm gonna put up on that shelf and I haven't even done it yet.
Going to have to try really hard to not say anything about it and see who I know who would pick that up first and how many times they had it staring them right in the face before they did.
If nobody does and it takes too long, I'm going to start taking the toilet paper out of the holder before company comes over until somebody does.

I will try that again and hopefully it works when I do it.
Let me know how it goes.Quote:
It does have a DVD drive on it and possible CD.
Do you mean it might have two separate CD/DVD drives? Or that the thing is a DVD & CD player?
If it plays and burns DVDs, it will play and burn CDs as well.
But if you have two separate optical drives, they will be (D:) and (E:), and you'd be looking for (F:) for your thumb drive.

I will let you know.
From what I saw of the pictures of the devices it is both, CD/DVD player together. When I looked at it I think it said :D but not sure now. I've never used that feature.
Okay.

I've got to find out who is putting a plug in air freshener near my apartment. The smell is driving me nuts. So far no headache but my eyes are starting to itch and even the vinegar I use to clean spots in the kitchen sink can't cover it. Uugh!

All done for today and I have to start putting more important papers on the fridge. Just discovered I shredded something last night that I need. Ugh!
Lousy morning at mah jong. One decent hand and that was it. Winds & dragons which was 6 doubles and counted over 2,000points. Too many higher than me and there was only 9 of us playing.

Found the paper I had been scribbling on. It somehow got mixed up with other papers. Good grief.

Thanks, Brenda.
Glad you found your not-shredded paper.

That was jogging a memory of something that happened to me a while back. Thought it was going to bother me wondering what it was, but it came quick. It was that toilet paper holder that I put in the wall, and the worry I started planting in my head that I may have gotten rid of it during the last dehoard.
I still haven't thrown the old one out because I have a big old stash of metal to scrap between my old hard drives I tore apart for the magnets and discs and the stuff I've pulled out of the bathroom among some other things I had in the garage, so it's just sitting there. What a nasty, ugly old thing with paint all over it.
Makes me almost feel silly putting so much thought and care into everything I work on when I see so many people who just don't really give a crap. That old paper towel holder had more paint on it than the damn vanity light did, and that's saying something.
And I guess, when your entire room or your entire house looks like that, nothing looks as bad as it really is.
Hell... I remember when I first moved in here the feeling that it didn't matter how much time I spent cleaning anything up because it wouldn't matter. It was the same feeling that I had when I lived at my grandma's for years with the 7 cats that had pretty much destroyed all the nice furniture and every piece of doorway trim in the house.
I do see the appeal though...
When you live like a pig in a crappy house, you don't even notice it and it's easy to justify not keeping up with keeping things clean. And on the opposite side of that, I have finished rooms in my house that I almost treat like museum pieces... just like my mom and step dad did. I always hated that growing up. Rooms that weren't meant to be enjoyed. Couches that weren't meant to be sit upon.
The worst is my back porch room. It's objectively a million times better than it was before my friend came over and we jacked up the whole thing and fixed it literally from the ground up. Awesome windows in place of single pane crap that let all the water in to destroy the place. Awesome paint job on everything. Beautiful fake fireplace heater to keep the place heated in the cold months if I want to. Even got a TV hooked up to my network out there. My aunt said that she'd spend every possible day she could year round in that room.
Since I owned the house and up until I fixed it, that back porch was my favorite room in the house. And I haven't spent even 15 minutes of leisure time inside that room since it's been fished. Now it's just a pass-through when I come and go. By far, I've spent way more time vaccuming out there than I have sitting.
It's all because I can't smoke out there anymore.
Now I just do that in the attic during the cold months, which was a serious downgrade from the porch, even when there was a gaping hole in the floor.
But in the bathroom, I think it's going to be a different story and I'll be very happy I did it. That's just a room that never looked clean no matter how much time you spent cleaning things in there. It was always just gross, and even worse, it was at least 1 if not 2 prior families' gross as well as mine.
Mowing the lawn is my least favorite chore outside of cleaning the toilet and the tub. But I bet you that changes when I pay for my own really nice high-boy toilet. I bet I'll even start keeping the tub that I didn't buy clean when the rest of the room can actually look great.
That would be nice. My dirty ass bathroom is one of the major things that usually keeps me from wanting to have any impromptu visits from people. And with a 2nd potential bathroom that hasn't been good for anything but a dude doing number one for probably alm

Me too SIX. I've been working out how much I can swing to pay my dentist for replacing this crown on a front tooth.
I like to think the little messes I have like the kitchen table which I clean off pieces of it then mess it up again. Doesn't bother me. I've got another scattered spots that need cleaning up for sure. Like you the bathroom is a major one and the kitchen sink and the stove top. (Stove top I really hate cleaning.) Then there is a bunch of stuff on my trunk that has to be sorted. I know some of it can go into the bin that I am going to put my nails and such in. That is whenever I get to it.
With me a lot of it is depression and I know that. Also I would love a couch and replace my computer chair but it is getting the help to do it all. Very frustrating.
