I wouldn't want to clean that huge shower...that's a lot of grout!

I'd have to hire a venue for that crowd . My apartment is full with the three of us in it. Phil, how much longer until the baby is born?
She is due Oct. 22, but her doctor says the baby will arrive early. I'm guessing middle of next week. She (my daughter) is a tiny slip of a thing, and the baby is huge.
Oh wow. Make sure mom's chair has lots of comfy pillows. She is going to be pretty uncomfortable. Hang in there, Phil's girl!
YEAH!!! Yeah yeah yeah!!!Phil, that's so exciting!
Speaking of huge babies, my 8 month old nephew weighs in at the exact same weight as my 2 year old nephew - one's tall and lean for his age (esp. after 2 bouts with stomach bug in the last year) and the other is a solid strong chunk. They both wear the same size diapers. :)
I'll see if I can find a recent picture of them together.
Absolutely, Phil! You get to do all of the fun stuff, jam 'em full of candy and play with 'em til they puke...then give 'em back before the melt down! Spoil, spoil, spoil! You're always the favorite. Grandad's ROCK!
Do you know if it's a boy or a girl? (sorry if you already said, I missed it)

Baby boy. Zayvion.It's an African name by origin. They loved it in a book they both read, so that's what it is.
I'll probably call him "baby Zay" for a while.
"Whazzup, baby Zay? Havin' fun with grampa?"
I've know an couple of Xaviers but no Zayvion. Cool name.Oh wait what about that tap dance dude from Sesame Street--Xavion Glover? Did I spell that right?
Remember, assuming it's been a while, BOYS PEE STRAIGHT OUT WHEN YOU OPEN THEIR DIAPER!!!!

I think Phil has a Dyson. They must be nude friendly.
I am on my second Dyson. All that pet hair (and human hair)takes a toll on a vacuum.
Mrs. Phil said she would be working through lunch Wednesday and would not be home to join me. I took that opportunity to get some cleaning done. When her plans changed, she got home and found me on the top floor of the house doing my nude vacuuming.She thought it was funny.
Good thing you found a gal with a sense of humor.

Preston's had 2 bad bouts with stomach bugs this past year and lost quite a bit of weight during those episodes. Jackson had a bit of baby fat, but that boy is seriously solid - no joke. When his stomach muscles flex because he's trying to pull himself up into a sitting position or some such thing, this ridge of muscle pops up - I've never seen that on a baby.
Nothin' cute as leg chub on a baby! (Too bad it's not as cute on a 41 year old.)
My husband does all of the vacuuming (Dyson), but I've never seen him do it naked. I think I would just laugh and walk away shaking my head.

I don't believe Dr. Cynthia knows how to use anything but a Shop Vac (wet/dry).

Yeah, this worries me. I shed a ton of hair. Long hair.

Sweaters are stretchy.
Ha, Cynthia. That is very cool in a manly way, but I like the fact that (since he works out of our house and I have a 25 mile commute...one way) Mr. Amy helps with stuff. He does all of the laundry and most of the dishes. The daily things that need sorting he just manages between calls and emails and things. Real cleaning; we mostly share. He vacuums & mops and cleans the front bathroom (small). I dust, clean the kitchen and clean the master (big) bathroom. Generally that's the way it goes.
We had a cleaning frenzy on Saturday and cleaned the whole place from top to bottom. IT NEEDED IT!

I vacuumed yesterday but I didn't get to the living room or the kitchen. The kitchen really needs it. I vacuum the baseboards but they really need to be washed, they are big time dust collectors. I also really, really need to dust the bookshelves.
One of my college roommates told me that the secret to a happy marriage is a good cleaning service at least twice a month. As soon as we could afford it, I hired Sheila. Once a week for the past 18 years. She saves my life, and my marriage, every single week. Resentment, bitterness, be gone.
I had a cleaner...for about five minutes. Finances have been a little tight the last couple of years. My house was NEVER as clean as when she came though. :) Ah, maybe one day I'll get one for permanent...*looks dreamy and wistful*...till then, I never complain if it's not "perfect", I'm just grateful he helps. Previously, in my prior situation, I had NO help ever...with anything. In fact, when I had surgery and he had to manage for a week/10 days before I could lift and/or do stuff (for which I did extra shopping, cooked huge amounts of spaghetti & chili and stuff I could freeze for easy meals, did all of the laundry so it could just pile up etc...) he actually swore at me! "I have to do F***ing EVERYTHING around here!" I left him 2 months later...maybe it was three. That was my final eye opener that he didn't love me, at all.
You know the drill, Amelia, in sickness and in health. Glad you got out and found a better partner.

*snort*
He had his good points, but he clearly was selfish and didn't really love me. Yet, I was the big bitch, because I left...

I feel as though I am drowning in pet hair. Everyone seems to be shedding. Me, also.
Same. It doubles the weight & warmth of every blanket I crochet.
Darn cat hair! The cat has all of the bed to sleep upon, but she always chooses to curl up on any clothing I have left there.
Mod
Cats would rather curl up on clothing, or something super soft, but it may also be because it smells like you. I suppose cats and dogs are slightly different in how drawn they are to scents, but when my sister and her family moved houses, the dog was feeling a little anxious and they let him sleep on the dirty laundry for a bit because it comforted him.
When I dog sat for my friend he left a t-shirt he had been wearing behind. His dog was a bit neurotic though.

Noun. Clumped dust that has accumulated at the edge of rooms and under furniture. A dated expression and rarely heard, with the slut in this sense referring to a slovenly woman. [Mid 1800s]
I would guess slut's wool might relate to pubic hair.
