General Discussion Thread 03.13.2025​

Hello, dear GrayViners!

We’re one day closer to the weekend, and I (Emerald) am slightly dreading it. Wondering why? It’s because we’re due for spring cleaning, and I desperately wish we could finish it with just one snap. Do you have a household chore that you’ve always wished could be done in the blink of an eye? Share your answers in the comments below—I’ll read them during my break this Saturday!

Cleaning floors like vacuuming, mopping, sweeping etc because it has to be done almost daily.

I don't mind house cleaning except for.......DUSTING!!! and that includes those awful, outdated popcorn ceilings! They were put in before I moved here, sometime in the 80's.. This is a complex for disabled yet maintenance WILL NOT assist with getting all the clogs of dust out of these ceilings. I attempt to do it but I hate it.......

Cleaning and changing 2 doll cabinets. Got up this morning and started right away. Oh let me tell you the cabinets are on opposite ends of the house. I used a laundry basket and towels to wrap the dolls and back and forth I went. When dinner was ready is the time I quit working. I finished the smaller of the two, but only got 2 of the 4 shelves done on the bigger one. All day I kept thinking "why did I put this off so long? 5 years ago I could have gotten it done in half the time". Then I thought I was to busy cruising around to even think about. I had a good laugh.
