The Daily Peeve / Rant

[Float On]

I always return my carts for that very reason.

Me too. 4 new to me cars in a row were damaged by carts within the first 3 trips to the grocery store. I've become pretty good at surveying a lot and picking the highest spot in the headwinds.

Neighbor who tries to cut down a tree higher than his house with a chain saw and takes out the electricity to his next door neighbor and causes electrical chaos for the other neighbors. I thought a bomb had gone off (I live on the other side) and all my appliances and alarms went off. His neighbor was not at home and we all hope a smoldering fire was not started.

So wrong on so many levels. He lives on a tiny urban lot and the tree was obviously almost dead. All kinds of lines around this house. The neighbor's house and both garages were less than 15 feet away from the tree and there is a wood privacy fence between the two houses. He had no clue that even one branch could do a lot of damage.

That is just so many kinds of stupid! And yeah, like Steve said its a wonder he didn't kill himself. That's why tree removal services are so expensive though that guy is now going to wish he'd called a service.

My husband said I should not call him stupid but after several things he has done, I am beginning to wonder. I am glad there is a small alley between our houses. It is sad they bought this little historic house. They told us they were going to flip it but they are not taking care of it.

Toilet paper!!!! Is there any toilet paper worth buying anymore. It looks bulky but disappears as soon as a drop of moisture touches it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a toilet paper where you don't have to use about a foot of it each time. I am struggling with the Kirkland version this time.

I've never been given the opportunity to test anything other than Scott (well, for home use). That's the only brand my husband will buy. He takes his own roll of toilet paper with him - to work, on trips, to my/his parents homes. It's weird but I guess he likes what he likes.

No sooner did I wonder aloud here when we would have Swiss relatives dropping in, we got a call from m our Twin Cities relatives saying that the Swiss contingemt would lilkely be paying a visit the following week. The Swiss relatives come to the U.S. to view ice hockey games so their itinerary centers around the winter hockey schedule.

But this rant could also be a rave because DH said he would host them at our
Hermann house where minimal cleaning is necessary. It aint fancy there but it is not disgustingly dirty and smelly, either like it is here.

I cleaned the bathroom and floors a few days ago in Hermann. DH can decide who sleeps where and he can change sheets. Our Hermann house has three bedrooms equipped with beds, more than our house here in the city.

They know that they are coming so why not give you a months notice. I would require it to provide accommodations. Why not get a monthly cleaner so you can stay on top of things?

I am especially fond of Who Gives A Crap toilet paper. It's sturdy but soft and 10% of the profits go to sanitation in third world countries. I buy about 50 rolls at a time and it lasts me a few months.

No housekeeper can fix the problem of carpets that need to be replaced. I wont replace carpet until cat dies.

IL: we have had dogs with those issues before. One reason we have no carpet. Just hardwood and vinyl pergo for easy cleanup.
