I love the reference to little Italy. To make that a site to behold would be to get yourself some of those big lacy bloomers and hang them…I love the visual. I have really this last 5 years or so learned to “scrub pots before confronting” It has helped me!!

Love this post!

I love the pun Gina caught. Classic.

I believe “hung” would be proper.

And you have my undying respect for both scrubbing pots AND being a grown-up. I wish I cleaned things when I got upset. My house would be spotless.

Har!

“that first pan and the plates that followed, it dawned on me” HA you were doing dishes and it DAWNed on you!
Okay it was funnier the first time I read it.

So, you have more restraint than I. When we had mean neighbors Damon was holding me back from busting out the brass ones and shoving them in her face. But I just stood back and polished them…and they moved. So maybe there’s hope that she’ll find some new fabo job elsewhere….hey there’s an idea, start sending her the classifieds anonymously (sp?) maybe with the banana bread that was mentioned earlier…hmmmm. Just a thought.

hey, I have pots to scrub – wanna come over and I’ll make you mad??
oh, the rebellious in me would still be trying to figure out a way to make it a “win-win”. ya know, zip-tie some nice bamboo sreen fencing to the railing (which would provide some cooling and privacy btw) and then hang your laundry below the sight line (aka camouflage).
now, the mature side of me would challenge myself to return kindness for the poke in the eye…perhaps a nice loaf of banana bread for the old gal (aka mean ‘ole apt. mgr. who probably is rarely shown kindness – at least by those who’ve met her more than once)
I find that pushing myself to the extreme limits of being Christlikeness suddenly makes me suddenly humble with the struggle I have to just be civil sometimes )
you go girl!!!

Oh yes. Lips must be pursed.
I suspect you and I will come up with some piece of comic gold someday, Deleise. Watch out world!

I hope that the theatrical note on that comment includes a shaking of a clenched fist.

Then you understand why I was happy to have at least gotten my answer before I wound up cleaning out the fridge. I think that would have been tragic.
