HOUSECLEANING RULES FOR INTERNET JUNKIES SOCIETY

Sweeping and Mopping the floors -- Have dog sweep floors with tail and lick up all crumbs. Any stubborn spots that require scrubbing recruit cat... may have to add tuna water to spot. If you don't have a dog or cat... well you are in trouble ... go find one roaming the neighborhood quick!

Vacuuming -- Call for demo from salesman. Have him show you how the vacuum works in all parts of the house ... insisting the carpet looks the same...but really is different in all parts of the house. Tips for success: Don't always call same company ... keep a chart and rotate.

I knew a Junkie could not resist. We will never be defeated!!!

If you are an Internet Junkie ... if you can't stand to be away from your computer, the internet, or IM's ... or if you know someone who has the above problems .....
there is now CIJS ... We meet here at all hours of the day and night.

Our yearly meeting is held on January 5th, at 9:30 pm in whatever timezone you are in. It doesn't matter, as we will all be on line anyway! This year it will be held in this thread until "Will Kill's It" once again!.

"New Year's Resolutions for our Crazy Internet Junkies Society"

1. I will try to figure out why I "really" need 12 e-mail addresses.

2. I will stop sending e-mail to my wife (husband). A phone call every now and then would be appreciated.

3. I resolve to work with neglected children -- my own.

4. I will answer my snail mail with the same enthusiasm with which I answer my e-mail.

5. I will stop sending e-mail, ICQ, Instant Messages and be on the phone at the same time with the same person.

6. I resolve to back up my 30 GB hard drive daily... well, once a week...okay, monthly then...or maybe... at least once a year.

7. I will spend less than one hour a day on the Internet. This, of course, will be hard to estimate since I'm not a clock watcher.

8. I will stop checking my e-mail at 3:00 in the morning... 4:30 is much more practical since my friends overseas already had time to answer me by then.

9. When I hear a funny joke I will not reply, "LOL... LOL!"

10. I will read the manual... just as soon as I can find it.

11. I will think of a password other than "password."

12. I resolve... I resolve to... I resolve to, uh... I resolve to, uh, get my, er... I resolve to, uh, get my, er, off-line work done, too!

Ha hahahaha I actually DID this when I was 9 mos preg. just waiting to deliver - but only once. I wasn't smart enough to think about a rotating schedule. The demo guy cleaned house like never before! But I did have to sit and listen to him for 2 hours.

EEEK! There must be a way around that coil! hmmm!

NEVER get a demo guy to clean, unless he carries a Lap Top!

Tell him you want and on-line demo!

Ha! I did the same thing once and then I felt so guilty that I ended up calling the salesman back and buying the dumb thing which broke a year later...and I don't think it was from overuse

I hate vacuuming w/ a passion!!!! So when I do do it... it makes for a really good Sacrifice to offer up!

I installed a "lap top" on my vacuum. Might as well stay busy while pushing it around!

I can surf "Hint for Good House Keeping" Websites at the same time.

That's funny because I too, hate the vacuum. That was my ex- hubby's job. I had not picked up a vacuum for 10 years before I got divorced. Now I make my son do it. It's a great chore for a kid - but not for me.

...and when he complains, I tell him to "offer it up".

Well If I could find a holder to strap my laptop to my person...I would take it on my daily walks...course then that would interfere w/ my Rosaries...

Ooo....Oooo...I know... I could log onto EWTN on-line and pray my Rosary and walk and still have the...well thrill??? of having my computer near me???

I think I need heeeeeeelp!!!!!!

Marie, I think you've been hitting the fruitcake a little too hard.

Hey! It's a dirty job but someone has to do it!

Now let's see: "Computer Rules for Internet Junkies- 101

"Press Return Key" command is the same as "Press Any" key.

Remove plastic Bag from mouse before using. It is not "Grandmas's Sofa Saver." It's Packaging!!!

Do not stick labels on computer diskettes, and roll them into your typewriter to type on the labels.It doesn't work.

Making photocopies of defective diskettes to send in and get your money back, is frowned upon. They want the original. Go figure!!

Holding your paper copy of the Fax memo you want to send in front of the monitor, and hitting the send key, does not active the "Send Fax Function!"

Keyboards should not be soaked in the bathtub overnight to clean the spilt coffee off the keys. It cleans the board but it will never work again.

Do not take the computer's "bad" command and "invalid" responses personally. It's a computer...not your enemy!

Turning the computer screen to face the printer, will not "Print Documents." You have to choose Print! The machine does NOT need to see your printer. It is just a machine...

Using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, is not a good idea.It will eventually snap off the drive!

I want to join! I want to join! WAVE! WAVE! I didn't think I fit in the horse group. I like horses, and think they are beautiful, but they don't like me.

One time on a vacation, there were a group of people riding horses. I was told by the group leader that the horse I got on, was ridden by a blind lady and would be easy for me to ride. Well the horse took off with me, and the group leader caught up with us, and stopped the horse, before it ran onto a highway.

Another time, I got on a horse, and it walked over to it's feed bin and just kept eating, ignoring me. I liked that experience ALOT better.

I am learning alot of helpful info in this group too, like attaching a computer to your vacuum. I don't mind vaccuming, because I have a self propelled model. Now I just have to figure out how to attach a seat to it, and it will be PERFECT!!

I hate to admit it, but I have a black Pomeranian and when my son and his fiancee were here during the Christmas Holiday, my son's fiancee asked me what the white spots were on the end of my dog's tail. I looked and they were little DUST BALLS!!

Thanks for starting the group, Marie. You did good again!!

Annie

In the mean time have you considered wearing Roller skates or using a skate board?

Works for me...laptop, skates and a self propelled Vacuum are a wonderful way to spend time cleaning house.

LOL! That reminds me of my DH's habit of feeding the dog scraps on our dinner plates. Everytime I would say don't do that, he would wink and say: "But look how clean he got them. He is better than a dishwasher."

Then the inevitable happened. One of the kids stuck the licked plate in the dish washer unbenost to me. The dishes
in it were clean. I put them away without noticing the tell tale grass on one of the plates. THEN it happened. We had company for supper. I looked down at my plate full of food and there was grass in the food!

The good news is...I was the one who got the doggie plate. Bad news! I could not eat, it was too disgusting!

ahhhh, you kill me!

I can soooooo relate. I have a white cat with wooden floors. If I'm not careful, those dust balls multipy mighty fast and blow around like tumble weed!

I am not alone in my trials!
