This woman (http://www.flylady.net/) is becoming a huge international phenomenon.

What's going on? Is she a globally syndicated Stepford Wife?

Is she an inspiration to women who want to take control of their lives?

Personally I'd find living with a woman like this very tiring, but the sex could bve interesting.

What do you think?
 
"Body clutter" ???

She sounds exhausting and annoying and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if her body was someday found cluttering a dumpster.
 
I like her. I'm personally offended that you're making fun of someone who's doing such a noble job. She's dedicated herself to helping others, and what could be better than that? You should be ashamed of yourself Joe.

Well, that's what I think, but my other personalities would all like to kill her.

The sex would be - intrusive, don't you think?

Every inch of you would be cleaned, dusted, mopped and swept.

Every extraneous thing on your body removed prior to the act.

I wonder if she would consider your dick to be extraneous?

:cathappy:
 
You better make sure that you're ready for that level of commitment. :rolleyes: Flylady is extemely demanding ... you might want to top up your viagra prescription.

Once you sign up, you are inundated with emails of things to do, reminders, helpful tips and uplifting stories and slogans. Fifteen minutes a day? That woman is on your ass 24x7. I spent so much time cleaning out my inbox of her messages, that I had no time to devote to housework (well, that was the excuse I used). Now we live in an uneasy truce with the free range dust bunnies ... every once and awhile I declare war and attack, otherwise I stay out of their way and they stay out of mine.

We got her book, "Saving Dinner" in which she gives you weekly menus and recipes for good dinners that take about half an hour to make. She gives you a weekly shopping list and everything, and since we've been using her method the family's actually started eating together again.

I've screwed around with her recipes a lot, but basically they're pretty good.

That actually sounds like something our family could use.

Thanks, Zoot.
 
The personal gratification though a shiney sink scares me to no end. Then again I am the one who blew my birthday money on a roomba and is considering a scooba once I get the hardwood in on the first floor. Then again the carpet down there is trampled bad enough that its almost as hard as hardwood ;)

Then again anyone that decides when to do the laundry based on how many pairs of socks there still are (and has gone and bought socks when its been low) really isn't fly lady material.

True story - friend of mine was on fertility drugs and you know those screw with the mind. Well she was reading the flylady site and called me panicing that she didn't have any more oil to polish her sink with.... Me I'll take dust bunnies over sink shinieness issues.

I used to do "Fly Lady"... she sends you hundreds of emails... my box kept filling up... reminding you to do this, do that... make sure you have your shoes on! Shine your sink! I felt like I was being stalked by the cleaning Nazi!

However... my house was clean!!! Now... maybe I should go back to doing Fly Lady? :rolleyes:

Just stay away from that meat loaf recipe that uses a cup of brown sugar. That one's just bizarre.

Little grasshopper, that one was put there as a test of your faith.
 
Feh.

Someone's found a way to make Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder socially acceptable.

Have I ever said how much I loathe control freaks?

People with my organizational ability consider them an absolute necessity.

That's okay, Rob, you can always come hang out at my furry, dusty house. ;)

On my way.

I will regard that as an upgrade. My place is merely dusty.

Me too, Rob. It wouldn't be so bad if they'd do their controlling without deviating from my plan.
 
Actually my wife emailed me the link to the site. I'm still in the office at 9:00 PM. I'm afraid to go home.
 
Regarding the Flylady:

Is this an essential piece of pop culture that I would have known about if I hadn't taken so many naps last year?

You might want to consider having a full-body wax done before you go home. In case Flylady has a more efficient way to end hair clutter.

I thought of just walking in the house and throwing up on the hallway floor, apologizing, then going to sleep in bed with my boots on.
