That is unless you live with someone who has read it and told you so much about it that you feel as though you had read it. Then I think you are safe leaving it on the shelf. I think between my brother and my husband I have heard everything worthwhile in that book. ;)<br />StephStephanie Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952237536421682841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-47257382318860071992009-10-18T12:03:33.205-07:002009-10-18T12:03:33.205-07:00Rachel and Kathy,
Thank you for the suggestion -- ...Rachel and Kathy,<br />Thank you for the suggestion -- i will likely use it next time to more efficiently make use of my "cleaning the microwave" time. For those "afflicted" with this condition of taking care of what others neglect (both men and women), I'd like to think that we take care of what's important but not urgent (just giving a shout out to Dr. Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People--still can't convince Steph that it's worth a read). Then again, maybe I'm romanticizing the bacteria in my microwave...Jonathan Waitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482597194728524742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-86364848003817024752009-10-18T07:23:23.212-07:002009-10-18T07:23:23.212-07:00there's a deeper meaning herethere's a deeper meaning hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-78637593019302896892009-10-18T06:43:19.784-07:002009-10-18T06:43:19.784-07:00He's the MAN!!

Yes, they're going to check and make sure all of our games are stacked nicely in the hall closet. As far as the microwave, that so great that Jon cleans it. My favorite trick is to boil a couple of cups of water (with a little lemon jiuce) and let it sit in there and steam for a while. All you need to do it wipe it clean.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03642736151798689022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-84733261463056313952009-10-17T19:05:23.577-07:002009-10-17T19:05:23.577-07:00My husband feels the need to start cleaning the ho...My husband feels the need to start cleaning the house the minute we are trying to run out the door for something (usually a few minutes late!) That drives me nuts, but I guess he likes to come home to a clean house- and so do I, I'll admit it! But come on, why right NOW?! Anyway, on to microwaves, if you microwave a 1/2 cup of lemon juice for 4 minutes, then all you have to do is wipe it down with a damp paper towel. It's super quick and easy!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997928249935091617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7260216734032540750.post-85827664043341892522009-10-17T16:31:38.456-07:002009-10-17T16:31:38.456-07:00Awwwww that's a sweet post.
