Hi, I'm Archie, and I'm a struggling neat freak.

I think I need help. The wife left with two of our grandkids to go to the movie, and I sit here struggling with what to do with this mess. I know I should relish in it because those babies are such a blessing.
But the house is hammered!
Stuff everywhere! Toys, clothes, dirty dishes.
I'm thinking that I'm going to do a minimal straightening up, and go to Lowe's counting my blessings all the way.
I'm not even mad at the dog for chewing the end off of the water hose, which is why I'm going to Lowe's today.
But.......the house is a mess!

Sew What?
Where is that guy when he's needed?
Puns are a spice of life! Screw the mess! There's always work to do. Get your hose and take the dog with you.

Your "solution" is the best idea. Stuff comes and goes, messes are cleaned up or ignored. The love of God and Jesus Christ is everlasting, and your family is a close second, (including the dog.) Good luck!

POOR BABY. Maybe you should contact badbobby and inquire if he has enough Jack Daniels on hand to share with you. I know you are a beer drinker but in rough times like this maybe Jack would solve your downer better. As for the dog and hose, maybe the dog thought the hose was a snake and he/she was just trying to protect the family. If that proves true, educate the dog before you buy a new hose. I'm just trying to help.

Let physics deal with it; when an Archie in another dimension cleans up the mess, quantum entanglement will ensure that yours gets cleaned up too.

Yep...a dog that thinks a hose is a snake will get itself rattlesnake/copperhead/water moccasin bit on top of being a hose monster.

Are you kidding me? She's as big a slob as those yardapes!
But, it will be in order. I can't stand it.
Also, there will be a few strategically placed Legos for her benifet!

I'm more thankful than you can ever know about what I have. I am truly a blessed man!
Maybe a little set in my ways, and too old to keep up with a 3 year old, and a yearling at the same time, but blessed!

Hey Archie, thanks for the giggle! It was sorely needed today. I've enrolled in online college, at 63 and the pace is grueling.
