h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...and I'm sitting here not getting dressed because I'm lazy.

Ok, ok. So it's not that early. It's 9:20am.

The dog is crying. The hamsters are sleeping. The fish have been fed. The bunny will be fed as soon as I decide to go and do it. Then I will probably get dressed.

But here is a question...
If someone was nice enough to let you stay in their room overnight while they are at their parents for the summer would you go ahead and have someone that they don't know and that you just met stay over in their bed without telling or asking them?

Do you fancy a chat on MSN about this?

It's 16.29 p.m. in Ukraine..I'm jealous of you...Are you a farmer?

D

Sure Terri, see you there!

A farmer? No I definitely am not.

Sorry! I thought of that because you were telling about animals..Well, why is your dog cryig?
D

My dog is crying because he's old. He's not now though. Now he's sleeping.

How old is he? Is he big? I have two dogs. One of my dog's name is Kiss me! Yeah, I'm not kidding...But we call him shortly Kissa...
D

He's small. He's a sixteen year old toy poodle. He'll be seventeen next month!

Cool! Say A happy Birthday to him from me, please!
D

I shall.

Hmm. Having been in the situation of letting someone stay at my place while I was away, and them inviting someone else I did not know to sleep over in my bed during that time, I would say don't do it, unless you know beyond all doubt that they wouldn't mind. And I'd at least wash all of the linens and everything for them before they returned, if you do. I've always felt that someone sleeping in my bed is a lot like them wearing my clothes- if you know what I mean?

How's that for an early morning waffle? It's 9:45 AM here (same as you?), and I've been here for 3 1/2 hours. I have no excuse for being so incoherent.

You're one hour behind me!

And it was my brother that did it to me! Even though he knows I don't even like people that I know stay in my room! I was being very very nice letting him stay there. Not gonna let him again!

Shame on your brother for doing that. When I was younger, and lived alone, occasionally friends would stay over and crash on the futon with me. I didn't mind that so much. But one of my friends had a romantic tryst in my bed one time when I'd let her stay at my place while I was away, and they left the remnants behind, without thinking to wash my sheets or anything. And it was the last time I let her stay at my place when I wasn't there. So I totally understand how annoyed you must be!

Shame on your brother, how extremely rude of him.
You're right, you shouldn't let him stay in your room again.

Indeed! I advised her to tell bro "launder my bedding & put it back on *or* buy me new bedding & don't you DARE ever do such a thing again!"



*Just thought of a good vengeance plot if all else fails. Let sleep in his bed!

Thanks for the nice "on my side" comments everybody. He says that he didn't have sex so it shouldn't be a problem.

I told him I'm going to pour week old pee in his bed for revenge (loooong story)... But he doesn't think that that's a fair trade.

Aww; it's so sweet to see siblings getting along so nicely. Now i realise what i missed by being an only child.

*I reckon strong old pee would be more effective by the way....tomcat pee is what the experts use.

In other news: Baby likes Peter Gabriel.

Does Peter Gabriel like Baby though?

No idea! Maybe you can ask him?
