Next time I have to clean the stove after you guys cook mac n cheese for a snack, the kitchen is going to be off limits for a week and y'all are going to be eating cold cereal.

Well then how about dessert? Get creative! No TV! No electronics! All kids can be motivated!

It could work. Though, I'm sure, with the right combination of words, he'll do it

That's it. I clean the glasstop stove to a shine, walk away, come back to cook something, and it's trashed and I have to scrub it again. They're adults. I've shown them how to clean it, reminded, asked, told, griped and yelled. Now it's time for action. I've said my piece and counted to three. Now I'm done.

A thread on how annoying printers are would be great.

I saw this and thought of you.

GLASS STOVE?
I don't think we'd have a stove if ours was glass.

That printer on the cover looks like a HP printer. Which "simply works" for the low low price of your sanity and $99.99 every week.

Today I had to deal with setting up our printer again. It wipes the wifi password when you connect it over ethernet. It also has the wifi die on me every so often. I ended up getting mad and plugging it into the shiny new living room ethernet port because typing a password on that STUPID LITTLE SCREEN is too much effort.

Speaking of, wish I could say all printers came with a keyboard or at least a decently sized touch screen.

Um. It's tempered glass.

That might last.

Still, I think I'd rather not risk it. Siblings are unpredictable.
