Sixth Day Poll

I've lost the war, totally sick.

Are coasters used regularly in your home?

That sucks! I hope you feel better soon.

And, to answer you question, no.

I'm still fighting! Good luck--I hope you recover soon.

And, yes, we use coasters. There are coasters all over this damn house. My favorites feature horrible scenes from Twin Peaks.

Feel better!

:( Hope you feel better soon. Is it like, Murphy's law or something, that if you get sick, it's always during the holiday season?

We aren't really a coaster kind of family. But that's probably more becaue all of our living room table-type furniture is glass-topped. Easily wiped.

Except for our newly padded coffee table/ottoman, which we can't put any sort of drink on because a certain someone in this house likes to pull things off of it.

Sometimes, but usually we just use the glass coffee table, or don't drink in the living room.

Hope you feel bettter SOON.

Sorry you're sick Gina! Put a coaster on the table for all that water you're drinking. :-)

Sorry to hear that you are sick. Get well soon! We use coasters once in a while. I keep forgetting to use them.

It sucks so bad to be sick at this time of year. So sorry!

Coasters - I only use them when we're playing cards on the dining room table. Because that's about the only piece of furniture I own with a finish that is worth preserving. If you overlook the spot where the babysitter poured nail polish remover all over it.

I admit it; I coast sometimes.

Seriously? Sometimes.

Coasters, what are those? Actually we have one coaster for the computer desk and that is it.

Oh, get better soon woman! Some time you chose to get sick eh? j/k Some nasty flu is definitely spreading itself all over the place.

Yes we are coaster people, for the most part.

Feel better, says the girl who owns coasters that sit right on the end table, but nobody ever manages to use. They were a Christmas gift from my son that he picked out on his annual "Shopping Trip with Daddy" day two years ago.

Nope. We have 'em but the glass is usually set down near them. We're Barbarians over here.

They were regularly used...as FRISBEES by Baby Bode. I recently threw them away....

Scout said…
Yes, in the living room where we have decent wooden tables besides chairs and sofa. They weren't used on a nightstand, unfortunately, and it is now ruined.

I'm sorry to hear you are sick. So much for willing wellness.

Heidi said…
So sorry you are still ill.
No we don't use coasters, we purposefully have a very old and worn coffee table in the living room which can be abused by all. I plan on getting a new fancy one in about 14 years.

Trixie Twatwaffle said…
Yes. Because Mark FREAKS if you don't. Especially on the coffee table. I freak about it pretty much everywhere else.

Feel better lady....

We have many coasters. I use them because a divorce would be costly after 21 years of marriage.

Get well soon!

Patois42 said…
Oh, yes, coasters are required if we're drinking something up in the living room. Anywhere else? Furniture beware.

Maddy said…
We have the plague too.

Coasters? I'm sure we have some skulling around the place somewhere. I think it's more that we don't have any decent furniture to protect!
Cheers


This is my calling card or link"Whittereronautism"until blogger comments get themselves sorted out.

Good grief no...with six cats, they'd all be under the fridge anyway. Hope you feel better soon. hugs, Laurie

Depends on what you call a coaster.

Does a paper towel count? I don't worry about the kitchen table which I wipe down after each meal (although I make sure nothing sticky gets set there) but I hate to clean up a coffee cup ring or crumbs in the living room every time I turn around.

Well, this happens to be the first time I stop by here - but I do like non sequitors!

Uh, no...

And do you prefer writing with a blue or black ink?

Somebody should start "The Non-Sequitors Meme..." Hopefully I spelled that right anyway.

Oh, hell. It sucks being sick.

And coasters? You'd better believe it. Under penalty of death.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?

Blown Away

That is a fitting name for this post, as the winds outside our house right now are blowing at speeds that have been clocked at 85 mph, which is technically hurricane-force. The wind truly sounds like a freight train. I have never experienced such a ferocious wind storm, and we get them every year around this time. Oy. If you've checked the news, you've heard about the Malibu fire, but seriously, when doesn't Malibu burn? Every frickin year they have a fire, it just goes with the territory of being remote and having heavy brush, combined with no irrigation and a canyon. It's just a volatile mix. Meanwhile, in the very canyon in which my house is located (the Fremont Canyon) we are in the thick of those winds clocked at hurricane speed, and it is just crazy, people. There are trees being uprooted everywhere, as well as something that just hit my roof. I'm not kidding. We have seen at least two transformers blow out, kind of pretty, actually that huge blue glow ...
