Stupid Guest Tricks

Tell that to my uncle's mom-in-law. She stays here during the week and takes care of the twins while their mom and dad (my uncle) work. Nice lady and she enjoys it.

Very early in my life I solved the "what are all these layers of stuff on my bed for" problem. I took a sleeping bag and put it on my bed. Sure made "making the bed" easy. ZZZZZZIIIIIPPPPP. Done.

Of course now that I have my own place and live there as a good single male, the only time I made my bed was when I used a hammer and saw shortly after moving in. (Yes I actually did MAKE, aka build from scratch, my bed.)

That's easy.

Know what you want before you leave home. Arrive and go directly to the desired item. Pick it up and procede to check out. Pay and go home.

Also Shopping is what is done when you are totally out of something. It is allowed to plan ahead and have a list of things to be bought but the trip isn't started until at least one item on the list is in dire need. All shopping MUST be done in the least amount of time possible. No spending hours comparing the most minor differences. Color, pattern and design of clothing is of little value. If you have purchased something before and been happy with it, get a dozen more. You can't have too many identical pairs of jeans and shirts. Having more pairs of shoes than you have feet is a waste. It is ok to occasionally have an additional pair if it is required for a job or special event but never more than 3 or 4 pairs of shoes. Comfortable slippers or bad weather (or mucky condition) boots may be added to the list but never more than one pair of each.

And always remember, going shopping is a chore and possibly a punishment. Not a pleasurable experience. An all day shopping trip MUST result in at least one semi trailer FULL of purchases, not something that can be carried to the back seat of the car with one hand.

Was that what you had in mind? :D:

Most likely a ton of pillows, shams and bed skirts. Where are my high compression pistons?

Right on the money!!

DW is amazed when I go grocery shopping. I come back in less than half the time it takes her, and get everything on the "list" (plus extra RUM!)

(I have tried to teach her the "correct" way to shop, but it didn't quite work!)

We *know* the correct way to shop...with hubby's credit card! :D: :p:
