My cat broke a glass loaf pan

[GoddessOfGuinness]

Somebody had meatloaf in the middle of the night and didn't put it back in the fridge. Naturally, the cat interpreted this as a green light to a smorgasbord. I woke up to glass shattering all over the kitchen floor. It was a lot of fun trying to clean it up while hungry animals attempted to get a nibble before it was gone. Not. :eyes:

[KitchenWitch]

1. Damn!

Too bad the cats, or the one who left it out cannot clean it up!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. The cats were trying...

I just didn't want them to get glass shards in their little tummies...

[billyskank]

2. You should kick the meatloaf fiend's ass

:spank:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. He's going to have fun

scraping all the ice off my car today.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Ooooo! I woke up to coffee filters and fish wrapping strewn all over

the kitchen floor..."Someone" forgot to take the garbage out last night. Of course they all blame me, the maid.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. I wonder sometimes if their genetic programming

has left them incapable of thinking about such things.

[Strong Atheist]

9. Yep.

14. I've felt that way many times...

coulee labor...nothing more.

[tigereye]

17. he he

When my son was very small, I used to refer to my family in this Chaucerian way : I was the "tit," my husband was the "porter" and my mom was the "maid."

Lately I do feel like the maid and porter. I feel like all I do is take out the garbage. And there are only 3 of us!

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. Hi Tigereye!

How'd you make out in the snow event?

We barely had 5 inches here; but just north of us the official total was 22"...enough to cancel my rehearsal tonight.

[tigereye]

39. we only had about 2-3 inches

even up here on my hill, where we always have more snow.

So it was kind of a non-event for us. I think my son would have liked it to be more of an event than it actually was!

hope your sweetie is good to you today. I went out and bought myself an antique tile for a little self-gift, cuz the husband usually has no idea what to buy...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

40. That's a good idea...

Mr GoG got me the traditional box of chocolates, and I'm baking a heart-shaped cake.

We'll be passing through your neck of the woods on Friday, when we head for Cleveland to visit my stepson and his family. I'll wave! :hi:

[LostinVA]

7. I woke up two weeks ago to pieces of tortilla stuck

to my newly-painted kitchen walls. Ummm... THAT was fun.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. ...

:spray:

Was someone trying to make an artistic statement?

[LostinVA]

12. Yeah, REAL funny

However, after I said the f-word 14 billion times, I did laugh... especially since one of the furkids had tortilla flakes stuck to her fur, and was hanging around looking all innocent....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Sounds like a photo moment.

I'd like to see a pic of that! :D

[LostinVA]

18. I should have taken a photo of it

I called my mom and told her about it, and she giggled.

[BikeWriter]

10. I once had a helpful person tighten the lid...

on a gallon of strawberry wine I was making... YUK!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

15. Oops...

Gives new meaning to the term "bottle rocket".

[BikeWriter]

21. Yes, the bottle had been sitting on top of my fridge...

Pieces of glass were imbedded in the ceiling and walls all around the room.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. I hope nobody was in there when it blew...

:scared:

[BikeWriter]

28. We were lucky! It happened during the late night...

There was sticky-sweet half fermented pulp, juice, and glass all around the room. It was awesome!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. I'll betcha whoever was helpful

will think twice about helping again...

Glad you were all ok! :D

[BikeWriter]

32. Yes'm, he got an earful about it...

He'd asked to smell the wine, to see how far along it was. I told him to go ahead, but warned him to be sure to leave the cap loose so the positive pressure could escape. I should have checked it, but I was busy cooking something. That was my only accident with wine or beer, and I have made hundreds of gallons of them.

[AllegroRondo]

34. I had a 5-gallon carboy of beer blow up once

luckily it was in the basement, the concrete floor is a little easier to clean.

When making fruit beer, always leave lots of head space.

[BikeWriter]

36. Whew! I'll bet that smelled good... Not!

[Crazy Dave]

11. I've got a blind cat and several others that don't allow us....

...to put up a Christmas tree anymore. I'll leave the stories of destruction to the imagination.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. When they were kittens

mine liked to climb the tree. They grew out of that thankfully!

[Crazy Dave]

20. I still have one who is still destructive even though full grown and....

...the blind kitty just doesn't seem to like it. We've been using a fiber-optic tree on a high counter for the last four years.
Plus we never know when a new family member will show up at the back door. There's a new short-haired black male that just showed up last night.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. I guess that'd be annoying for the blind one...

My brother and sister had a dog who went blind. It was frustrating for her when there were changes in furniture, etc...

[Crazy Dave]

29. He knows his way around the front and back yard too....

...and knows where to hide from us when he doesn't want to come inside. He has no eyes at all the vet said from in-breeding and the mother, as with most animals, left him to die. He was rescued by a co-worker and she gave him to me and my wife as we have a cat sanctuary instead of a home.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. One of my favorite fairy tales, when I was a kid,

was "The Colony of Cats".

Bless you all for helping the porr dears... :loveya:

[Akoto]

19. Further evidence that kitties are evil.

:yoiks:

:hide:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. LOL

One minute they're raiding the stovetop, the next they're warming my cold feet. Seems like a fair trade...

[Individualist]

24. Poor baby!

Hope he didn't cut himself!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. No, thank goodness!

Neither did the dog or the other two cats, who were trying like the devil to get at the spilled goodies. :D

[Flaxbee]

33. ah, I'll betcha the individual who didn't put the meatloaf

back is... a man! Right?

OK, not starting a flamewar or anything, but after nearly 7 years of marriage, I have discovered that men are incapable of putting anything back. If someone has a swig of Perrier or orange juice or milk in the middle of the night, it doesn't get a lid put back on it nor does it go back into the fridge.

And I also have the extremely fun task of playing "hunt for the undies" every morning b/c dh doesn't understand that undies go into the dirty clothes basket, not on the counter or draped on the nearest chair or doorknob.


Sigh.

He's wonderful, but absentminded and/or thoughtless sometimes. Though the undies thing I think he does to me on purpose now, just to see if I'll shriek.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. It took years for me to get him to do dishes...

Since I do the cooking and most of the shopping, I don't think that's too much to ask. However, I end up re-washing most of the dishes I use, because glasses with milk-rings in them and greasy forks just ruin my appetite.

[Flaxbee]

37. lol! my hubby will usually get the dishes clean (though not

as clean as I do) but there's often a LAKE of water around the sink, on the floor, etc. when he's done. He claims he can't see the water all over the place because "it's clear" but I think it's another built-in defense mechanism so I won't ask him to do the dishes.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

38. You betcha, sister!

Right along with the white underwear that turns gray or pink after he washes it. :rant:
