Seeing the spider leaves me with two courses of action. I don't kill bugs unless it's an absolute necessity, so I can catch the spider and put him outside. OR I can go to sleep and wonder if I'll inhale him at some point. So, I avoid looking at ceilings, especially my bedroom ceiling.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-50269804032066744102013-02-21T19:10:06.247-08:002013-02-21T19:10:06.247-08:00i worked on a paint crew and later in a nursing ho...i worked on a paint crew and later in a nursing home laundry. i inspect paint edges and how well laundry is folded. i can well understand your fascination with quarter-round. limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-66975038611422637702013-02-21T19:00:37.900-08:002013-02-21T19:00:37.900-08:00I've learned to keep my mouth shut while clean...I've learned to keep my mouth shut while cleaning underneath the couch, lest a dust bunny leaps into your gaping maw. <br /><br />“Be wary of the discount hamburger”<br /><br />Heh...I'll place this one right next to "Be wary of discount sushi".HermanTurniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448138758753193112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-15876450359153910782013-02-21T17:36:02.352-08:002013-02-21T17:36:02.352-08:00I was predicting that more than the ceiling fan wo... I was predicting that more than the ceiling fan would need a cleaning. Once you get to the 10 ft ceiling there seems to be much more grunge stored away. Keeping one's moth shut is excellent advice.

Laughing out loud at Geo. spinning under his stationary fan and with Buttons looking up to you as you tower over both of us. <br /><br />On a personal note: before I went into the surgery which I knew would send me to bed for two weeks I made sure the ceiling fan hanging over my bed was guck free.
