I agree.

Stina (stinalee) | 749 comments I LOVE the smell of soap... laundry detergent and clean body soap smells are amazing. When the people who had this bouse before me moved out, they left about 60 bars of Irish Spring in the linen closet. The soap was thrown out, but I looooove sniffing in there.

I never thought about sniffing the closet. So much to do and never enough time to do the important things. Now something else to put on the bucket list.

I don't know... The smell of soap surely trumps the collective body odor of the Blue Cross IT workers from India who ride the 805 SMART bus with me every afternoon. The stench is enough to gag a maggot.

Youndyc | 1255 comments Clark, all you have to say to them is something along the lines of: "Dude, folks around here bathe approximately once a day." And maybe give them a bar of Irish Spring. Or Lever 2000. Your pick.

Maybe you're right, but I'd have to go to Costco for the value pack.

message 508: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I do love the smell of soap, except Irish Spring. Yucck. I do not love the smell of scented candle. My mom gives me a goddamned scented candle every year for my birthday. I send them to the Goodwill. Ungrateful bitch, I am.

Thanks for reminding me to go light my scented burner :)

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3594 comments In movies, after a loved one dies, the survivor often goes to the closet and buries his/her face in the clothes and takes a big whiff - supposedly of that person's scent. I always think: Do people put stinky clothes back in their closets?

Maybe they're pulling the to-be-laundered clothes from the hamper? Or maybe the movie is set in the Depression and they did put stinky clothes back on hangers. I always hate that scene because it's so cliched.

When my sister and her family moved houses, the dog slept on the ground floor and they all slept on higher floors. For the first few weeks he insisted on sleeping in the dirty clothes hamper, because it had their scents and it was the only familiar thing in the house to him.


message 512: by Scout (new)

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3594 comments That makes sense. I'd believe that if I saw it in a movie.

So they slept upstairs, but had the hamper downstairs? A lot of naked stair-running going on.

Why naked stair running? You have an overactive imagination. Laundry is on the ground floor. Bedrooms are on upper floors. Bedrooms contain closets full of clothes.

I put "stinky" clothes back in the closet. Unless I rolled around in mud, or sprayed myself with mustard, or perspired heavily, my clothes do not need laundering between wearings.


message 516: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments geesh, mine do. except jeans usually. 2-3 wearings. i gotta man smell

When I remove my clothes, I drop them in the hamper in my room, then put on something else. At your sister's house I would be stripping things off near the hamper, then climbing the stairs for clean clothes. Any other method involves making an extra trip up or down the stairs.

Why is Phil visiting Lg's sister's house?


message 519: by Lobstergirl, el principe (new)

Lobstergirl | 24778 comments Mod
I'll be sure to warn my sister about the strange naked man in her house, then.


message 520: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments I may be naked, but I'm not strange.

1. In bedroom, remove dirty clothes. Drop in hamper or laundry basket. Or leave on floor for adult to pick up...

2. Adult moves around upper floors, gathering dirty clothes. Takes laundry basket down to laundry room.

Lg is quite persnickety when it comes to hamper protocol.

Lobstergirl | 24778 comments Mod
I thought I was a 14 year old boy. Now I'm persnickety about hampers?


message 524: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments I guess! They should modify the house to work like my mom's place. She has a chute in the wall, leading down to the laundry room. She can leave a basket under the bottom of it, then drop dirty clothing in from upstairs anytime she changes outfits.

I'm not even discussing my own hamper.

Such an enigma.

Lobstergirl | 24778 comments Mod
That sounds way dangerous. I can see kids dropping younger kids down a laundry chute.


message 528: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
That would be a case of it being okay for you to parent those children.

I just had a déjà vu. I must have lived somewhere that had a laundry chute.

You lived at my mom's house? Sis, is that you??


message 531: by Scout (new)

Scout (goodreadscomscout) | 3594 comments Laundry chutes and dumbwaiters: both are creepy. Anyone have experience with a dumbwaiter (not in a restaurant)?

Only from reading Harriet the Spy.

Ema | 53 comments I don't think I should be bothered by this, but I really hate text talk. It annoys me to no end when people can't type an extra couple of letters. I get if you're actually texting and need to save space, but for e-mails, and general conversation, I don't see the purpose. How hard is it to type "the" instead of "da". Or substituting "wuz" with "was"? And when people say "thankssssssssss" or random shit like that and stretch it out. What's the point? It just makes them sound incredibly juvenile and gets on my nerves.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i like ema already


message 535: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I LOVE my Laundry chute! My kids never put small children down the chute, mostly stuffed animals. I'd find piles of Beanie Babies mixed in with the dirty clothes in the basement.

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
I like to text "niiiiiiiiiice" and stretch it out.

Text talk should but me but it doesn't. I think language is fluid and spellings impermanent. What bugs me is when people don't use punctuation.


message 537: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments wow; that sounds like a pointed statement. sally! guess "i didnt know" i bugg-ed you that much? (better)


message 538: by Janice (new)

Janice (jamasc) Our hamper is in the bedroom and it bugs me that my husband will drop his dirty clothes beside the hamper and not in the hamper.

bug me. Not but me.

Daw, Kevco. You know I'm joshing. I love your toneless posts. It's like my little robot friend is posting.


message 540: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments toneless. that is exactly how i talk. i am monotone like a robot. more like robby the robot from forbidden planet than C3PO. chicks dig it

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments I do not like the question, "How's that working for you?" Don't know why, but it just sounds jerky to me.

"niiiiice" doesn't bother me because you're putting a tone into the words, something like that. But no one actually says "Greatttttttttttttt" or "Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" in real life, so why type it for no purpose? And if they do, then I really need to get out more because I must be living under a rock.


message 544: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
I think people may actually say "Greeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat" or "Aweeeeeeeeeeeeesome" but the way they/you wrote it above is writhe-worthy because it is not phonetically possible to hold the consonant "t" or the end vowel "e" for that many beats.


message 545: by Ema (new)

Ema | 53 comments That's the part that bugs me. If you're going to stretch it, atleast write it correctly so you don't end up looking like a dumbass.

Exactly. But somehow your use of the second person here made me feel a little bit sad.


message 547: by Ema (new)

Ema | 53 comments I'm sorry! I didn't mean you as in YOU, that just seemed like the best way to phrase it. Rereading, it wasn't.

That's when I forego the texting and pick up the phone.


Kim (BritishLass929) (britishlass929) I have decided the worst netspeak is "hmu". It just makes me want to HIT you, not call you - which is kinda what you wanted in the first place.
