But going #2 - that is more of a challenge. To encourage her we've been letting her be in the house pant-less for a while before bed each night. On this particular night she was having fun cleaning the rug in her room. I think it ...

It appears that Michael Ignatieff, the Liberal leader, has taken what I consider to be some prudent decisions, including getting rid of people who are widely considered to be supporters of our infamous "human rights" commissions. I, for one, am glad. I did not wish to vote against the Liberals on principle, as it leaves me with no viable options other than the Conservatives, who never ...

Of the 13 respondents, six said they clean before company comes over; four have a housecleaning service; and there was one respondent each for seasonal cleaning, monthly cleaning, and feigning housecleaning ignorance.
