[QUOTE="Star*, post: 438801, member: 4964"] Well......I live with a farmboy gone biker/batchelor for 30 years. If there is a bigger oinker? I'm all ears. Our 'deal' on moving into the house was this - Find a place that resembled the farm (so he could have junk) and now I'm guessing any number of single wide trailers -cabin houses (cause ......long exhales) looks at his man-getter he has to have a place just for him -the he-man woman hater club house (aka den). But the rest of the house? Well that's the 'Oh don't you dare think about putting that hammer down there - you know where it goes and it AIN'T there." is my territory. That includes closet, dresser - and our house is ALSO smalll. I think 1297 sf. SO....we made an arrangement that if it couldn't be hung, or put in the chefferobe, folded or on a shelf neatly? I'd just toss it. And I have - and he's gone to the trash can and said "WTH?" and I said - well you are not going to wad up stuff - it makes ME nuts and I'm nuts enough already - and our deal was yadda yadda yadda - so either fix the closet so if I am gracious and put your clothes away I can and not play a veritable game of Jenga - or Im going to toss the junk that falls out." Problem solved - and he agreed - he's a pig....and it's not like he's so busy that he didn't have time to fix it---he just didn't WANT to----and he didn't really know HOW to organize ----which is PHOOEY - because he can organize TOOLS - and parts ----so he didn't get the almighty pass on socks underwear, and the rest - I gave him boxes - and he tossed out stuff - I gave the size OMG are you serious you will NEVER get back in those - 32's again - lets be real about this----Mr. I eat cookies after midnight with a gallon of milk and you are just kidding yourself about the diet......so put the freaking pants in a box and make room for your big man pants.
