Like how the light comes on in the fridge when you open it, and blinking neon signs. But there's a whole a whole family of teensy-tiny Little People that take care of this. They used to turn on dial tones, too, until they demanded a hefty pay hike, so phone makers had no choice but to invent cells. <BR/><BR/>But only dust bunnies snatch socks. I know this because as soon as I start brandishing the feather duster, missing socks *magically* re-appear in the back of the sock drawer or in plain sight under the bed. No one else could've put them there. (That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.)<BR/><BR/>Nice to see you here.JamaGeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973656461323918279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453775580949648277.post-85181860821295426932008-12-22T09:27:00.000-06:002008-12-22T09:27:00.000-06:00TOYTYME, what an interesting mix of ancestors!

Alas, I'm the type that before I give dishes or clothes to Goodwill, I'll wash them! How clean freak is that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453775580949648277.post-85957846218305248442008-12-22T04:53:00.000-06:002008-12-22T04:53:00.000-06:00JamaGenie....When it's time for a big cleaning aro...JamaGenie....When it's time for a big cleaning around this place, I find myself tossing things or boxing them up and putting it in the garage. So much easier to get to those dust bunnies and the spiders usually tangled up in them! Since I'm allergic to dust, I'm not all that eager to go after them in the first thing, so my first line of attack is getting rid of as much as possible. As long as I don't disturb them, they don't disturb me. It's a win-win situation! As far as chasing dead relatives, I have a hard time keeping up with the live ones. I do find myself missing them around the holidays. I have narrowed down where everyone came from to Russia, Poland, Luthuania and Austria. A few from Ohio and New York as well. From my mom and dad's generation on, everyone came from Californina. Except for my sister, no one was into collecting dust bunnies. A bunch of clean freaks! On the other hand, my sister was so bad at cleaning at one point that she could have had a dead body stuffed under everything, and no one would have ever found it. She's gotten a lot more tidy in her old age, and now she's just a shopaholic who stores most of everything she buys and holds garage sales to get rid of it. I on the other hand can't stand clutter! Sometimes I wonder if we are really related? Just one of those curiosities of nature!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453775580949648277.post-73507430861675700312008-12-22T01:22:00.000-06:002008-12-22T01:22:00.000-06:00What is it about socks--two go in the dryer but on...What is it about socks--two go in the dryer but only one comes out? It's magic and I find the best thing to do with dust bunnies is to make friends with them--but then I'm not a genealogist:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600365870806305125noreply@blogger.com
