frank1538 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'm laughing while I think about the wall of curtains in my house. Jingwen did about the same thing. I sometimes feel I'm in the Fox Theater (a famous old world movie house in Atlanta) waiting for "Gone With The Wind" to begin. Link to comment

The bed measurment is likely for a real goose down comforter and ten other things for the bed--cost me $1000. Yup, I'm hearing about the carpet--gotta go-"no likley dirty carpet" but honey I have a carpet shampooer "Bu hao-no get clean-need throw away and put floor same china" And this from a woman who argued with me when I told her " ya can't mop the carpet dear" I'm with you "yes dear, whatever you say dear" Link to comment
Rick-Guohua Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I'm in REAL TROUBLE!!! Mop the carpet,,,, Put in wood floors... ,, I think, I had better tear this place down when she gets here and start over. Yes, Dear, What ever you say dear. Yes, Right this minute honey I need a Money Tree!!Anyone have one I can borrow? i promise to return it. Rick Link to comment
Trigg Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 :I think, I had better tear this place down when she gets here and start over. Now you got the idea-you learn very fast--that's good, it will save her countless hours when she starts your training period. Link to comment
warpedbored Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Before Bing came I knew I needed to replace the carpet so I asked her what she wanted. Of course she wanted wood floors. I used Pergo instead but she likes it because it's easy to clean. I have to say they are right though. When you think about all the dirt and little teeny bugs that can be buried deep inside the carpet mat they are pretty disgusting. Or maybe I'm being trained to think right I'm not sure. The tough one was ceramic tile in the kitchen. Lot of work and no amount of talking on my end could convince her to go with linolium or vinyl. In fact I can still here the words "no like vinyl !!!!" ringing in my ears. Link to comment
Rick-Guohua Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 TriggMy training period is starting, I just got off the phone with my S.O.Yup, the carpets got to go. I'll just buy a mob and bucket. Yes, I know,, knee pads too, My size or hers? Yes, Dear,, What ever you say Rick Link to comment

Yours for cleaning the floor--hers for inspecting and therefore rejecting your best efforts. Link to comment
DaveR Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 You guys are scaring me. My SO has already sent a package (on the slow boat) with bed things she bought in China. Said they are much cheaper, so we will have new things when she arrives. I don't know how she will react to the carpet thing. I do have some coworkers that could help with Pergo, if I need to. But the vinyl floor may have to stay in the kitchen and bathroom, I hope. I have already learned to say, "Yes Dear". Am I getting trained well. Dave Link to comment
turtle Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I do have some coworkers that could help with Prego, if I need to. Probably not a good idea sorry Link to comment

I like my jeans, boots and t-shirt, Leather jacket in the winter. But I know. Yes I know...
