The question, then, is: Who fold your socks, bleep??? Don't rub in the fact that you have a staff, okay? That's just salt in the wound.
Nevertheless, someone's gotta do it. :boohoo:

It's a sign of independence. You must be doing something right. I hope you're washing his mouth out with soap, or better yet, letting him do whatever he wants, when he says that.
On that note, I have friends who say that they have promised their children, each of them, that they'll pay for the first year of therapy. We'll see. That shite can be more expensive than a year of state college!

i have a socks story, the moral of which is: fold your own or make sure your help is REALLY good! a friend was over the other day to help with my computer. his gloomy gf came with him and i put her to work. she washed my walls, left puddles everywhere, and when she folded the socks, she put mine in w my son's and vice versa.

same friend helped me w an even better story yesterday, whidh was a very trying day at moments. i went to the greenhouse to buy plants for the very few remaining spots in my gardens. (i got green peppers, sunflowers, and very pretty purple annuals the likes of which i've never seen.) i left the ac on and my son buckled in the car. i put the casing of the broken key atop the car. you can guess where this is going... when i drove away, the casing was forgotten on the car. i got home with no way to restart the car. i remembered my not-fatal error and devised some plans. plan a: get a friend to drive me and help me find it on the road. plan b: call triple a and have car towed to dealership where they'd program a new key for me. plan a worked. friend lives three minutes away. after the boiler-fixer left, friend came over, fetched me and son, and we found the key at the corner of the greenhouse drive.

now all i have left to do is get a spare key programmed, and soon, buy a new car.

Why the hell would anyone fold socks? Why don't you just ball them into pairs?

Oh FFS are you the sort of people who iron their undies as well?

A voice of sanity. I seriously can't believe that there are two people in this world who actually fold their socks, and both of them are posting in this thread. How many times do you fold them? What shape is the final folded sock? How do you keep matching socks together if they are all folded alone? These are serious questions, by the way.

Thank god someone does this for me, I hadn't realised what a tricky world this is.

Come on Bleep, don't rub it in. Do you get fanned and fed grapes on a daily basis too? :H
I, for one, don't fold my socks. I consider it a major accomplishment to get everyone's laundry washed. Putting it away is the harder part, and matching socks (when I can find matches). I ball them as you people put it. :H

On a good note, I got cancelled from work today. I'm too lazy to get out of bed at the moment, rough night of sleep.

HI, Miss Rudy. I was missin ya. I need to go back and figure out what happened with your indifference. You were indifferent and then maybe you were questioning?

[redhead77]

Okay, all caught up now. The top stories are crabs, rowing, and indifference (or not). Oh, and gardening. I've got to come bac, because I'm nodding off, and this typing from my phone is killing me.

Off for a morning nap! Haven't done this in forever.

Of course he has staff, all married men have staff. Oh do you mean other staff? Then why'd he bother marrying?

Good point Murph. This is why I'm an independent contractor.

OK Rudy's off the hook, but Ne is still a sock-folding freak.

Ummm RedH, you're in no position to rib Bleep over having staff. Didn't you just buy a sturdy farm lass to work as your house-girl? :H

That's the ticket!

Ummmm one question, why on earth have you made an appointment with an acupuncturist? A hypnotherapist I understand, but acupuncturist? Are you that desperate to have a prick in you? Ahhhhh, sorry, terrible joke but I couldn't resist it.

How come you have staff now? I thought you were a teacher in a state school. I thought they were paid really poorly in America.

Am I the only person here who doesn't have 'staff'? :upset:
