The Rules: An Exercize in Modern Anthropology

1. At least one roll of toilet paper must be stored within reach of the toilet.
2. Candles are in the bathroom for a reason.
3. Bowls or plates must be rinsed off right away or put to soak.
4. No food left out to tempt the ants. (Of course they seem to attack when my kitchen is the cleaneest!)
5. Always mute the commercials.
6. Practice good "Homeland Security." (Shut and lock everything when leaving.)
7. You wake it, you rock it.
8. Ice cream is served in bowl-shaped coffee cups. Coffee is served in mugs.
9. No running by or eating in the pool.
10. No using the pool for purposes associated with Rule #1.

So funny! I wonder if it would occur to men would create the same rules... (I'm guessing these help you an Lu manage the guys...)

Actually these are some of Steve's rules, too!

This, my first foray to Ferferfly's blog, is in affront at the notion that I do not both condone and self-constrain to the aforementioned rules without guidance. Bah! :)

Bud, you could write legalese. I had to read your paragraph four times, and I'm still not quite sure what you meant.
