(21,020 posts)There was some weird looking dirt in those rooms!
Anyway, I got my place 47% clean.
Screw the guests. I'm not asking them to eat off the floor or go peeking in my shower!

I feel the same way. I don't like it when people just drop in without calling anyway.
But I always suspect that when they say they came to see me, not my house, that they're really making a mental checklist of the crumbs on the counter and dust bunnies and dog hair tumbleweeds on the floor...

(55,007 posts)I am sentimental, plus the ranch is the dumping ground for the whole family (and friends) who can't throw their shit away either. PLUS I let the pets in the house. fur and dust combined with lazy slob equals run out to the gate to talk to people and never invite them in.
