1.  he didn't have expensive things growing up he has no idea how to treat them.

2.  His family doesn't really have the concept of long-term ownership of items that get passed down.

1.  We kept, but have given up, trying to tell Mrs. T-B. that there's no need to SLAM the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile doors, si and sigh and no man.

     We know for a fact that, without us, Mrs. T-B. would run out of gas, never change the oil, and never warsh the 

        Mrs.-T-B.-mobile, no and no and no man.  She doesn't even squirt her filthy windshield, no man.

2.  In Ecu, people use stuff till it falls apart, observed it firsthand we man.

     The concept of GSs is (no pun intended) foreign to them, alien man.

Somehow along the way it just never got through to him that you treat things you own with pride.

When we were little, not one of our games, puzzles, toys, or sets of anything ever lost ONE piece, no man.

Part of this was Mama T-B.'s thoroughness, and part of it was our nature, completeness value we man.

 

Conversely, Mini-B.'s things are almost all missing pieces or elements, anguish we man.

Part of this is Mrs. T-B.'s method of up-cleaning, she man.

At varying times, she decides to go aysheep about messy floors, etc., aysheep she man.

She'll randomly throw things into boxes or bins, or sweep up pieces while brooming the floor, tunnel-vision she man.

Years later, she finally dimly realizes that if she touches OUR stuff, WE go big-time aysheep, not a sight to see man.

We don't know how Steveklar abides his situation, everything continuously thrown out man.

some parents might not bother with "don't leave your bicycle outside, so it doesn't rust", etc.  

That not-bothering concept completely mystifies us, puzzled we man.

Scintillating repartee this morning, yawn man.

Absent Asia!  Absent, ABSENT Asia!

Just cut the grass out front. Now trying to cool down. Looks like the once a week cutting is over. Done sneezing my brains out and cooled back down.

Many.  Done sneezing my brains out

1.  Industrious Ontarklar!  Industrious, INDUSTRIOUS Ontarklar!

2.  Lazy Ontarklar!  Lazy, LAZY Ontarklar!

Many.  After we mowed the r-casa & half of our casa, nothing but coughing, cough we man.

             It is heavily suppressed with Heap Strong Medicine, ingest HSM we man.

I guess that is the sucky part of kids moving out. Less of them in the house to cut the grass. And no Tbone I am not having more.

I am renting right now and I don't have a mower so I have to pay someone $45 bi-weekly to cut it. I can't wait to actually buy a house so my kids can start with the mowing tradition.

He needs some serious (re)training, sigh Nola-B. ma'am.  We don't know, offhand, of counselors like that, no man.

Marriage counseling, perhaps ma'am?  You shouldn't have to stew in your own fury indefinitely, no ma'am.

 

Oh, I tell him exactly how I feel.  We just have differences of opinion about things.

 

I'm certainly not a perfect partner, so there has to be some accepting on both of our parts.

Our oldest boy has quite a while to go before he'll be mowing lawns.

 

Lawn mowing has got to be one of the worst household chores besides weeding.

I've beed on an OCD Cleaners watching binge.  It has really been bothering me that most of these "cleaners" don't have vacuums with motorized heads for their carpets.  As someone who also vacuums every day, I'd probably have a bit of a meltdown if I had to vacuum my carpet with a regular vacuum head.

[T-B. falls over in dead faint]

[T-B. groggily comes to]  The going rate around here (which we, being cheap, still refuse to pay) is half $Many, good grief man!

Don't you have endless hordes of industrious Salvadoreños or Hondureños trying to drum up customers, huh man?
