my house.

And if a visitor wishes to cut an article out of one of the magazines,
using your sewing scissors, you say...?

Couldn't resist. And... BTW, we don't have to worry about dust on the
tables, because the wood is always covered by magazines and newspapers.

Okay, since this thread has turned into true confessions, I must admit - I
vacuum once a week, including the sewing room. I'm not fastidious, but I
like things clean and organized. If I'm having a bad fibro week, I know all
the corners I can cut and still have the house appear to have been cleaned.
VBG. Ya gotta do whatchya gotta do!

You mean the books came after the radio show? Hmmm. Also, what is
Blake's Seven? AFAIK, we never got the HHG TV or Radio Shows
here. But I did spend lots of time abroad, so I have gaps in my
American Culture Education. I never did catch up with that
What's the Beef Phase ... boy is it an agro to hear people saying
little catch phrases and being totally in the dark!! Even so, the
HHG quilt would be kewl.

Only of the original radio show. The books were not so succinct and
suffered for it, especially after the first one, and the TV show was on
a par with Blake's Seven!

That's why I got a dog! I was so dissappointed that he wouldn't eat the
cheerios... turns out he was just shy, and using his best manners. As soon
as he settled in, he got right down to work! I do have to watch out for
grapes, tho. He doesn't eat them, but he will carry them into the front
room, where they blend into the carpet - watch where you step!

Exactly what I was going to say. I don't have kids, but Stuartdog (and
the late SimonDog did too) has regularly visited the homes of friends
with young children.

On more than one occasion, after all the food has been cleaned up from
under the high chair and under the kitchen table, a friend has said to
her DH , "we need one of those!"

Of course, I always agree, since I think MOST families need a dog.

Since it is just DH, 2 dogs and QI Sugar the house stays very clean. Only
Dog hair needs to be vacuumed up during the week. The cleaning lady (Bless
Her) comes every Thursday and gives the house a good scrub. My sewing room
is off limits. I do that myself. I usually vacuum after a project. and
dust with a feather duster 1 a month. Of course my DMIL is coming to visit
so I will use a little more elbow grease.

Hey, "dust" will take care of that sticky floor problem! Our newest
fur kid, Happy Girl, is very good a cleaning up the sticky floors,
counters, stove, sink etc., she is a champion "counter surfers", which
our Ruffles "the ridgeback" is not, has something to do with early
training. Ruffles had it, Happy (a rescue) didn't.

If I don't craft while living with fibro (yes, that's fibromyalgia, to
answer your question) I would be in an asylum. I'd be permanently
depressed. Working with the colors and fabrics, creating something pretty,
even slowly, is ever so therapeutic. I get depression with the fibro, quite
often. But having a nice project to fool with keeps me from becoming
paralyzed by the darkness. At least so far. So I'm going to keep with it
as long as I possibly can. I'm sorry you have it to, but I'm glad you've
got quilting!

Btw, I never bother to flame anyone; why waste gas? ;-D

I'm glad you manage to keep yourself going. The therapeutic element of
sewing is great with the fibro. Helps the body keep going, and keeps things
active (while in a non-active way).

Take care
