…hijacking… hijack… I’ve heard of these words, but I’m not sure what they mean in a thread context. And I’ve got this one place on my back i just can’t seem to get clean enough. Oh, how I wish the Clean Fairy could help me! (It would give me warm seasonal feelings too.) -Rue. ---

**Rue** , ya know I love ya more than my luggage, and I’d do anything for ya! But I don’t clean my own house, or my own back… Tell ya what - you do mine and I’ll do yours! You go first! [sub]Does that sound as naughty as I think it sounds?!? 😃 ---

So… If I clean _your_ house, you’ll clean _mine_? Is there a catch somewhere? ---

No catch at all, my dear. The key is under the mat - you can go ahead and start before I get home. Yeah - start without me… 😉 ---

Swampbear has an announcement: I cleaned the bathroom and kitchen last night. Used soap and everything. This morning I washed my coffee pot, filter basket and mug! \ I even put em where they are supposed to be. Heck, I even made up the bed. Have I been possessed? Did the smell of Pine-Sol cause some latent cleaning gene to rear its head? I need a six pack and a bag of Chips Ahoy to bring me back to reality!
