get some conversation going on the HT.

Interesting, I didn't know cardinals were ground feeders. I know I have some literature around here somewhere that indicates the feeding habits of many birds but I don't know what I did with it. I'll have to look some more.

Thanks for the info.

i hope you find your book... you really should corroborate what i'm saying because it's been so long i could be wrong. it's gotten so expensive to feed birds i've pretty much quit doing so.

i might consider returning to the practice if i could entice mean, hateful birds to come protect my yard from the damn stray cats that have made a resurgence. there was a new litter born a couple of months ago... i hope they all get run over and die slow, painful deaths.

I left lit on all day while I was at class. I feel like that is a quite silly thing to do. Discuss.

I don't have an iron. And I really need one.

Who wants to send me one?

PS - Are you back for good, EJ?

Ironing...interesting topic. I do on-demand ironing, meaning I iron only when I wear something that needs to be ironed. If I'm wearing dress clothes, they always get ironed first. Otherwise, I usually don't care if things are wrinkled.

My wife often asks me to iron things for her, because she doesn't have much patience when it comes to ironing and tends to iron the wrinkles into the clothes rather than out. I never let my wife put an iron to my clothes.

I'm also an on-demand iron-er. Ironing all laundry all the time would be a pain in the butt.

In college the only use my iron got was as a griddle for pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches

I've also made grilled cheese sandwiches in a toaster.

making eggs on an iron is a bad idea, (trust me)

So is waxing your skis. Might be good for the skis but it's damn hellish on the iron. My ex used to do this. That's when I decided what the fuck did I need an iron for anyway? Or was it "what the fuck did I need a husband for anyway?" Buy clothes that don't need ironing and save the time for more worthwhile pursuits like _____________ (fill in the blank here).

I can't remember when I last used an iron.

Back in sweatpants mode?

Geezus, not the pink velour ones with the NASCAR T-shirt???

You're assuming I left sweatpants mode.

Nah, I just throw stuff in the dryer if I want to get rid of the wrinkles; if my hubby wants something ironed, he does it himself. He built an ironing board into the wall in our laundry room--complete with a storage place for the iron. Our two-year-old is the only one who goes near it.

Damn, I hate laundry. Not so much the washing and drying, but the folding and putting away.

 

[KarenDee]

I will happily fold and put away in return for someone to fold and put away for!

I'd rather clean the bathroom than fold laundry.

My husband just vacuumed. I like to watch him vacuum.

 

[Guest]

 

[Eilan]

Is it because you like to watch him from behind? (my guess)
or is it because the work is getting done?

I like that the work gets done, but vacuuming is one of those things that I don't mind doing myself. I'll have to go with #1.
