One of my pre-simming hobbies - and I still do some - was cross stitch. On
the wall of my kitchen is one such creation stating "An immaculate house is
the sign of a wasted life". Judging by my house, my life hasn't been wasted.

Benign neglect...that's my motto....dirt builds resistance to
disease...too clean and you compromise your immune system....stiudies
prove that children that pick their nose and pout thier fingers in their
mouths are much healthier and have far fewer colds than those that
don't...not that I'm promoting boogerism but it shosuld be a message to
those that clean too thoroughly..

Gawd, Jeanne, I am always so glad when you post these types of things
because it just affirms that fact that either you and I are extremely
weird or we're very normal!

GMTA and all that. Maybe you and I are, how do they say this politely, "of
a certain age" (yeah, that's it!) and have learned the true value of parts
of life. Sounds good to me!

You know what? I think you've hit the nail on the head there, Jeanie! I
don't shave my legs anymore either. Nor do I much bother with make-up, and
my hair is now it's totally natural color, which is mostly grey. Yes, I
think we do get our priorities better sorted as we 'mature'.
