These are the rules and laws we live by that are not part of the legal system. I have by laws in my house. * No one can name call with vicious intent. No one can steal from another member of the house, that includes dogs. Bed times are set by the leaders, whoever is home that is a leader, and violating bed times means the loss of computer use. * Dinner is when I say and what I say, be glad I am generous, my mom was not. No junk food with my money. * Pick up the poop, it is a medical issue, not just keeping clean. No pooping inside the house unless you can use a toilet. The same goes for peeing. * Do the dishes, you got them dirty in the first place, and I need the help so do mine too. * Do your own laundry, the only exception is the husband. I don't trust him with clothing. * Keep public areas of the house free of your crap. It could end up in the trash or the pool if I find it. And your trash will end up in your room. * No food in bedrooms. It attracts bugs and dogs to be where they don't belong. * No killing of lizards, too messy, remove to grassy area ASAP. * No dog treats unless I am training for something specific. * No animals are brought into this house without my specific permission. I am responsible for all moving life, so don't try to give me more. * The dogs are never the leaders of the house, but they know when someone is at the door. * Shut off electrical items when not in direct use. You can put your computer on stand by or hibernate, but don't just walk away, wastes electricity and my money. * We all have rules to live by. When they are written down, they are not breakable. When they are my rules, well, you don't want to break them, now do you? sheila --------------------------------- Catch up on fall's hot new shows on Yahoo! TV.
