Passover Cleaning and Jewish Extremes

HA! :biglaugh:
My mom always has and always will yell at us if we try to clean up for her. It's usually along the lines of "Don't touch anything! You don't clean it right!"
Fuck man, it's not like the tile floor's going to show it if you don't wash it in a particular pattern.....And don't both washing the dishes, apparently splattering a little water in the process is some sort of housekeeping sin, even if you clean it up when you're done.
And then there's always the "Don't touch that, I just cleaned it!" speech.

That sounds like me... Oh my, I've become as bad as Niki's mom.

I don't know, I just feel better when I do it - I know it's not done half-assed. Especially the bathroom - I demand I do it, germs irk me. I believe the toilet should be clean and sterile and the bathtub as well. And since seeing all the posts about everyone's bad habits.....I sterilize the sink now, who knows who pissed in it - blah. ------shiver------

I'm little obsessive-compulsive, but I sure make a good housewife :p

That's bound to make it into someone's sig :biglaugh:

My mom's just.....weird. Obsessive (and probably compulsive) about the cleanliness of the house, but she does some equally weird crap that just doesn't make sense at all. She'll bring home 1/2 empty bottles of water/soda, and line them up on her dresser "to keep the cats off it" (wtf?)
I'll take an empty container out of the fridge, like a butter tub, and toss it. I'll open the fridge a few hours later, and that god damn empty butter tub managed to grow legs & walk back to the frickin' fridge. Her excuse? "It's not empty!" Ok, when there isn't even enough butter left in there to scrape on to the edge of a utensil, IT'S EMPTY.
I'll take something out of the fridge that officially became a science experiment 6 months ago, set it on the counter for a few minutes & leave the kitchen (bathroom, phone, etc) and she puts it right back in there. I have yet to figure out why.

There are some days when Wolf tries to clean the fridge out & she keeps putting everything he pulls out to toss right back in there. Drives him up the wall.


And I can't say this enough---Yes, my mom is a blonde.

That is how I am too GanjaLord! When I go to my boyfriend's apartment I always clean something. He is always telling me "Don't worry about it." But I am girl, therefore I can clean better than he can. Hehe.

HA, victory! I managed to clean the fridge out last night, without having anything put back in there! I kinda had to, I needed to clean the fridge out enough to get to the crock pot waaaaaay in the back so I could make pot roast (turned out tender as shit, btw) I think my mom thanked me...."Well, we have room in there now." Followed by her muttering, "Look at all the god damn dishes I have to wash again...."

It might have looked like a collection of science experiments, but at least nothing stunk til it was uncovered.

Revised rule in Niki's house:
If you don't eat it within 2 days, it gets tossed. Period.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.....my family seder is done with.

20 people fed to repletion, the Passover story properly recounted and detailed by the young 'uns, and the house is relitavely in some sort of order......



The durance vile of pre-Passover slavery is now over, and like my Hebrew ancestors upon their exeunt form Egypt.....now I am free.....


HEE HEE HEE!!!!

Do you not have round 2, or are you local.
Happy passover!

Matza is good when you add cheese on top. Matza ball soup is one of my favorite kosher foods. Yum yum.
I love it with butter and strawberry jam. - Lucky I have 2.5KG of Matza, (the buget box)

Glad to hear you enjoyed your seder. However with a full week of Potato Starch and Matza Meal based food ahead of me, I won't be truely free for another 15 days or so, as it will take that long to make it thru my system. I'm learning that Passover is the worst time to be diabetic! One more plague cast upon me with the years.

Well, I have another Seder tonight (answering Ronley's query), but it is at my mother-in-laws, so the worst I have to do is a bit of helping with dinner......


After the meshugas of my own Seder, tonight is a breeze......

The secret to not having yer bowels turn into the mortar of slavery is to eat tons of charoset....my wife makes gallons of it, with plenty apples and walnuts.....keeps the mail delivered......

Yes, I do enjoy charoset. However we traditionally made it with honey. Another no no for the diabetic. I have to cut back somewhere so I can cheat with Halva and a Jell Ring or two at the end of the evening.

Is Halva safe for diabetics Pipedream?
Pesach samach (happy Passover) to everyone, and keep on enjoying those matzas... we have another 6 days left. (Creamcheese goes excellently).

No, it is in no way good for diabetics. But if you are going to cheat, why not do it with something you truely love.
