Every time I think I washed all the dishes, I always find more dirty ones.

[texanwitch]

They are not my dirty dishes.

It isn't that hard to take a dish, cup, or glass and wash it.

I am not a neat feak but damn some things have to be taken care of.

[Trajan]

1. I feel like I'm in your kitchen right now ..

being yelled at ....

[texanwitch]

2. You might have heard me yelling.

I do expect adults to clean up after themselves.

This is Houston, if dishes are not washed then roaches come to visit.

I think I will lock up all the dishes and teach somebody a lesson.

Can't wash them you can't use them.

A little tough love.

[bluedigger]

3. I keep all mine in the sink.

Makes them easy to find.

[texanwitch]

5. That is a good idea.

My dishes need to grow legs to get to the sink.

There will be a soon.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

4. Ya' need to break more dishes...

or hide them...you'd be amazed at how quickly some learn how to wash up when there are no plates!

[texanwitch]

6. Yep.

I have been giving warnings but nobody seems to hear.

The dishes will disappear for awhile.

I don't like roaches.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

7. I know just what you mean...

I live in FL....and the roaches here get to be the size of small dogs! And don't provide paper plates!

[texanwitch]

8. How big are the flying roaches your way.

The damn things climb the walls and then launch themselves.

I have one cat that will catch them and then play with them.

No paper plates will appear.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

9. I saw one that was over 4 inches long when we first moved to FL.

I was so grossed out I threatened to move back to NJ... Between the roaches, the fire ants and the faro ants, the exterminator was my
favorite person in the whole world.

I live in a condo now...haven't seen a roach since moving in...I'm beginning to wonder what they are using that is so effective...and honestly, a bit worrisome.

[texanwitch]

11. That is a big roach.

Fire ants are hard to kill off.

Now on the farm we had these big red ants, big ant hills.

You didn't want to get attacked by the red ants.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

13. Yes, the fire ants are horrible, they swarm and bite and you end up with blisters...yuck

It was the biggest I ever saw...thank goodness...I swear if I had seen a bigger one I would have packed up the kids and moved back to NJ

[texanwitch]

16. The big flying roaches are terrible.

I don't think they have control which direction they go.


I am thankful for my killer cat who takes care of them.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

17. Yay Cats!

[texanwitch]

18. She leaps in the air to catch them.

I think she thinks it is her life's mission to catch roaches.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

19. That's too funny!

[Generic Brad]

10. I have a similar problem with cat poop

Every time I clean up the cat's mess, I find a dirty dish.

Strange how that works.

[texanwitch]

12. All our cats go outside to poop.

I was the one that had to clean the cat boxes, so the cats now go outside.

We have a yard.

I think dishes breed overnight.

[Generic Brad]

14. My cat cannot go outside

If she did she would fall around 20 stories. Thus the never ending stream of "gifts".

[texanwitch]

15. Yes gifts.

I could never keep the damn boxes clean.

I do not miss cleaning the boxes plus not buying the litter.

[talkingmime]

20. I'm guilty. My daughters regularly sweep the computer room for dirty bowls and plates.

Yes, I eat in front of the computer and I'm too lazy to get up and take the dishes out to the sink. It's more efficient to take five out at a time. It was worse when I lived alone in an apartment.
