Each drawer or closet that I organize reveals different missing treasures from the past year.A photo or letter that slipped behind something,the back of my favorite earring,etc.
So?
Find anything UNUSUALLY INTERESTING today?
I’m still hoping I’ll find $100 bill in an old coat pocket or something!
opened almost all the windows..
So who are your neighbors?
do you know what i found -out- today, that when you clean walls for pesach with a wet shmata and soft scrub, you don’t need to paint anymore. soft scrub (done right) does a wonderful job. it gives it a fresh look.
My aunt called me for a phone number my mother had and I told her I would look for it. The next day I was sorting through some of my mothers papers and was not particularly looking for that phone number and there it was on piece of paper.
..opened your windows to direct the “aroma” towards.. (KIDDING!!!)
deiye, when you clean walls for pesach with a wet shmata and soft scrub, you don’t need to paint anymore. soft scrub (done right) does a wonderful job. it gives it a fresh look.
As long as you dont try that on ceilings. I did that one year and what a streaky mess it left, it was worse than in the beginning. Painted ceilings arent easily cleaned. I learned my lesson good.
Is this an interesting find? A large handful of pasta (somewhat moldy, not raw) INSIDE my son’s boot! (No, I don’t usually clean inside boots, my toddler somehow got to it and dumped it all over an already cleaned room!) Does this mean I have to go back to all the closets and dump out each shoe to make sure there’s nothing inside. . .? And please, someone figure out for me HOW ON EARTH it got there in the first place!
Second traumatic find of the week: A whole Cheerio on the floor of an already cleaned room. I haven’t had Cheerios in my house in months!!!!! (Honestly I think this one may have fallen off the bottom of a table that was a kitchen table over a year ago, but has been moonlighting as a computer desk in above mentioned room. I didn’t scrub down the bottom of the “computer desk” as I no longer think of it as a kitchen table — I guess that’s the next thing on the list. . .)
m, one year after we cleaned our car from head to toe we found a pretzel sitting on the floor. We recleaned and were convinced it was as clean as could be, and soon after found cheerios. We could not believe it!!! Also had no idea where these things were hiding. My husband realized that there was a built in cupholder in the middle seat that retracted and when there was food in it(which was often) it sometimes got deposited inside the back of the seat and would fall out when it got jostled. the rest of the year we would not have noticed because our car is not the cleanest to be honest but when our car was spotless it became evident. We didn’t want to have a problem over pesach, so we took off the back of the car, cleaned and put it back on.
Ofcourse: I second that about no wet shmattas on ceilings. I did that last year to take off a mark and regretted it.
eclipse, 2 scented candles are cheaper than a gas mask but cost more than a clothes peg. Or buy her some scented bath stuff
you know your bag of bags? like the big shopping bag that you save to stuff all your little shopping bags in once you return from the supermarket? so i found a BAG OF BAGEL CRUMBS from one of those 6 packs of bagels, in the bag of bags. have now thoroughly cleaned that closet…
We throw our bag of bags out every year and start over after Pesach.
I don’t know why I thought I was the only one to have & call it my bag of bags! LOL 😉
its called the bag,bag
we fold the bags neatly and put them in a little neat container… i know most people just put them into another bag but I find this gets messy….
(and each bag in that bag-bag is ben bag-bag?)
My latest find is a whole, wrapped wafer discovered in the Bris bag. Baby must’ve thought he’d be hungry after that ordeal.
I found a pacifier in the pocket of an old jacket. as far as I know, my kids have been done with those for a good couple of years now.
hey, we also have a bag bag (and all the bags inside it are called ben bag bags!!!!!!!!!!)
We had a box of Sukkah decorations that never quite made it out to the garage, and was sitting in a corner since Sukkos — I was covering it to put out when I noticed. . . a piece of wafer mixed inside!!! Is there ANYPLACE that Chometz doesn’t get????
we start our bag of bags collection each year with the bags that we get at the car show (jaguar had some strong bags in ’06), and of course we double bag each bag of bagged fruits and vegetables when shopping at the fruit store.
i actually found chametz – good thing i’m cleaning! 😉
chometz is all over, as long as you have little kids and chometz in the house…….
I found a long lost USB with loads of info on it under the rediator. I was loking high and low for it. Seams my 3 year old is the culprit.
What my little ones stash away (just in case their parents go broke and won’t be able to feed them)
Cheerios in mittens!!
one holey bamba with a worm in it! so cool!
hey yummy – while reading all the posts before yours, i was thinking “hey, i’m gonna post about our bag bag” but you beat me to it.
yummy i just noticed you beat me by 11 months. i never even noticed this thread.
guess what i just found.. a thread started be eclipse!
You too remember her?
I was going through my couch and guess what!?!?
I found a bed!!!! 🙂
ZK, yes i sure do.
in those olden times, I was just a reader, even now, I do not post much. I like reading and learning, rather than posting my opinions.
All I remember is that eclipse left us without any prior notice, I dont know her but I hope that all is well with her.
She was such a personality. She had us ALL in the palm of her hands, reading and sharing her posts, stories, saga. It was so riveting, moving. She indicated earlier that she’d leave, she came back for some while and then sort of just left. I too miss those lines, posts, masterful threads.
Let you know, after I perform Bedikas chometz.
I actually recently saw eclips at a wedding!
Kindly send her my recent regards. (It’s the special guards – the re-gards)
