Rabboisai, back to the cleaning lady.
 When she comes, she basically asks my wife for money (her cousin back in her home country is in jail, her son was sick…). She also asked my wife if she liked all of her perfumes (She has 5 bottles- barely a selection!), hinting that she’ll take any my wife doesn’t enjoy. 
She eats EVERYTHING. (The cleaning lady. Not my wife. That’s an entirely different sugya). She expects yummy Greek yogurts, the spoiled ***********. 

Because of all this, (and then some more) my wife doesn’t want to take the free help!

That's one way of cleaning up

Get some teens into the house. They'll clean out the fridge before the cleaning lady can get there. And they make such a huge mess that the cleaning lady will be busy the whole day and won't have a minute to eat!

Why would a kid drink a bottle of Motrin?! Like what's enjoyable about sitting in the ER for hours??? Our actions have consequences!
Looking forward to get to know you better!

One shabbos afternoon i get home from mincha to see my wife still sleeping, my then-2year-old son up, with the bottles of Motrin AND Benadryl open on the counter, BOTH having been drank from, with us not knowing how much was there before.

Simchastorah is a day of joy where we take out the scrolls to sing and dance.But there are some of us that cannot do that because they are full of grouch and grouch and grouch, and for them, Woodford and Motrin are the only solution

I've asked this shailoh before on here and not gotten a clear answer. 

If someone enjoys the grouching and grumbling, is that a violation of this thread?

Inspired by Shem, I completed the 3-circles tool, just to get rid of that annoying pop-up. Unlike Shem, I do have healthy activities - which I filled in.
Why then, is it still popping up?!

(It reminds me of that Yankel Miller joke, but this isn't the place for levity.)

22 degrees Fahrenheit, winds blowing everything all around so it feels like single digits, and I’m supposed to stand out there, under the open sky to bless the moon, and THEN dance around like an old shmoyger???

I happen to enjoy Kiddush Levana (I even tighten my tzitzis knots after-i seem to be the only guy in my shul that does that) but I HATE the dancing afterwards. Tovim meoros is the most boring miserable song ever. The tune is so depressing and could be sung at a funeral! I refuse to join in the circle.

HA! Y'all got to say Kiddush Levana. It's been far too dreary here for that. Haven't seen any celestials for at least a week.
