1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? - I try not to ever have to iron anything. I take my clothes right out of the dryer and hang them up before they get wrinkled.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? - I pull the spread up. I gave up on all the pillows along time ago. I just can't be bothered.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? - I try to put mine in the dishwasher. We run it when it gets full.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? - They're not dirty, but I wouldn't want to eat off them either.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? - I like to run it through the car wash every couple of weeks. I keep the trash picked up, but I'm bad about keeping the inside dusted.

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? Fairly neat, yes I iron and fold before wrinkles set too badly...no dirty clothes on me...

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? In between...I throw all the blankets up but don't utck them in on all sides..it looks neat from the outside...

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? Dirty until full enough to run...hate dirty dishes in the sink or on the counters (that's what the dishwasher is for...put your dishes in there when you are done!!)

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? Not as clean as I would like..although I am not opposed to eating something that fell on them, you may not want to..

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? Not so clean and Griffin sneezed all over the side of it last night that I need to get cleaned up yet...the kids are actually cleaning out the inside today...I don't let garbage build up but there are blankets, toys, kleenex boxes, wipes, Grif's head supports, wheelchair in the way back...

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry?

I sport a rumpled look. I hang or fold clothes after washing, but they never look as crisp as they do if can be bothered to iron them. I avoid ironing, unless I am going out and what I'm wearing is really creased.

Never, ever pull stuff out of the hamper though. I'd rather clash or look frumpy than wear dirty clothes.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between?

I pull the covers up and smooth them out. No decorative pillows, shams or nonsense like that.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms?

No dishwasher. I wash as I cook, and after meals. Snack dishes are put in the dishpan.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner?

We have 2 cats and a woolly booger of a dog 'nuff said. No science experiments though.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk?

I've needed to wash it for 2 weeks, but it's been too cold. It desperately needs waxed too. I live on a dirt road, so it gets dusty fast, and there is always gravel on the floormats. There's a couple briefcases in the backseat, and a couple towels because I still take care of an old customer's spa from my pool cleaning days.

No junk in my trunk, but I love the connotations! :003:

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry?

Fold or hang them up right out of the dryer. I hardly ever have to iron.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between?

Somewhere in between.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms?

No! They go right into the dishwasher. When it's full, I run it.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner?

They're relatively clean but I wouldn't want to eat off them unless I dropped

something really good, like an M&M or something.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk?

No junk in my trunk, LOL. My new car is black and it's hard to keep the outside dust-free. The inside is still spotless.

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry?-They sit on the couch in my room for a while. lol

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between?-Never saw the point in making my bed seeing as no one else comes into my room.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms?-Of course, but not for too long.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner?-The dogs make it kind of a science experiment.

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? I hang them up or fold them out of the dryer.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? I'm first out of bed and usually gone before the hubby or dogs want to rise. It never gets made

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? No dishwasher. I put them in the sink. I pick Barf Boy's up off the floor.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? I wouldn't eat off them. Three dogs and a parrot. Sinbad, the parrot, loves to throw his seeds out of his cage when someone is sweeping.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? Not too bad on any of them.

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? Neat enough, I suppose. I iron only if the wrinkles don't come out from putting them in the dryer. I'm kinda lazy about folding. I'm pretty good about washing them promptly.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between?

I hate to make up the bed, but I will admit, when I actually make up the bed, it looks neat.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? Dirty dishes go in the dishwasher. sometimes in the sink--because there wasn't enough room in the dishwasher.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? No science experiments, but I don't mop as often as I want. If I were home all day.. my floors would be a lot cleaner.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? Let me preface this by saying my driveway is about 1/2 mile long, dirt (sometimes red mud), with some gravel.. Needless to say, my car is an absolute mess. --and I hate that.. I try to keep the inside as clean as possible, but with 2 kids--It's close to impossible. And yes, there is a lot of stuff in the trunk that really isn't necessary. I had a 12pack of bottled water that stayed in the trunk for about 2 weeks.

[wild1forever 152]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? I fold or hang them reasonably promptly. I never pull them out of the dirty laundry.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? Somewhere in between, but closer to hospital corners.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? Always into the dishwasher. I've never been one to leave dirty dishes all over the place.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? They're not clean enough to eat off of, but they aren't disgusting either.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? I'm probably due to get it washed. However, I don't leave any crap lying around inside. No junk in the trunk.

[Square One 0]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? Not too bad but I don't iron them, I either hang them up right away or fold them right away out of the dryer.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? Definitely not hospital corners! Just kinda...make it. Everything else in the room can be a mess, but the bed has to be made.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? All of the above except in other rooms, that drives me crazy. We try to keep the counters/sink cleared but if not, I eventually load the dishwasher - usually after dinner.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? Well...I wouldn't eat off our floor....but I haven't seen any little science experiments lurking about. It's a tile floor and we have one of those steam cleaners that we use on it, pretty much every day or so.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? Outside is fine. Inside is another story. I have two kids under the age of 10. That pretty much sums it up.

[asakitten 13]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? Neat, never iron or pulled from the dirty laundry

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? somewhere in between

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? in the sink

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? somewhere in between

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? dirty, dirty, yes lots of junk

[Echosoftom 3]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? - I'd say I'm pretty neat. I hang up and fold clothes right out of the dryer but I have been known to pull out the iron on occasion. Wearing clothes out of the dirty laundry grosses me out.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? - My sheet always have hospital corners but my bedspread is just pulled up over with the pillows on top.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? - Dishes on the counter and in other rooms is a definite no-no. I do have a dishwasher and I've lived here 11 years and I think I may have used it once. I really don't mind washing dishes.We very rarely go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? - Lets just say I have used the 10 second rule a few times, lol.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? - Right now it's filthy. The inside is a mess in the back seat thanks to my grandson. And there is definitely junk in my trunk.haha!

[Refugee 7]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? - I only iron if I have to. I do not make a regular habit of it. I think I am neat and clean. I do put my clothes away promptly after they have been laundered and dried.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? - I was a maid once, so I make my beds with hospital corners.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? - My dirty dishes end up on the sink, then after a few hours, they are washed. Depends on my mood.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? - They are not clean enough to eat off, but they are clean, lol.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? - The outside needs a washing, all that wind we had here recently dirtied up my car pretty darn bad. The inside is clean, I can't stand a dirty interior. My trunk contains the necessaties. Jumper cables, spare tire and jack, flashlight, first aid kit and the most recent phone book. You just never know.

[kelly 0]

Oh, man do I feel like a slob answering these!

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? My clothes are always neat, clean, smell good, not badly wrinkled. I don't iron, but its because I have don't have many clothes that require it. If something needs it I will, but mostly all my stuff goes straight from the dryer to a hanger or gets folded, so there is no need. I don't pull anything out of the dirty laundry, except maybe a pair of jeans that I want to wear on the weekend. But only if I wore them like once before.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? I usually do, but I only know one way to do it. I don't know what hospital corners are. Everything gets smoothed out, tucked in, pillows fluffed back up.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? I'm kind of bad about about the dishwasher. I usually have at least one dish in the sink and one water glass on the dresser in my bedroom.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? No science experiments. I have 2 cats so there is usually a little bit of gritty cat litter crumbs and some hair bunnies around. I got a cool vacuum thing for wood/tile floors that's easy and kind of fun to use, I think that makes a big difference. But no, I would not eat off the floor!

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? Oh, the shame. My car is a wreck. I've never paid for a car wash in my life. I will wash it myself, but not in the winter. The inside is really bad, too. I don't even know what's in the trunk. I have to drop it off tonight to get inspected, and this is reminding me to shovel some crap out. Oh, and I'm getting the first oil change in like 2 years tomorrow. I think he car might turn against me soon, Christine-style!

[Softanimal 7]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry?

To me, clothes are just something to wear, so I may neglect them a bit. No ironing, no folding...

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between?

I fold the covers and blankets in one end of the bed, while the pillows lie in a big pile in the other end.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms?

I always rinse my dishes after using them. Then I place them on the counters.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner?

It's somewhere in between. I vacuum when the floor is filthy enough!

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk?

I don't have any car. But my bike could need a wash, lol.

[Starfish 0]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? I hate to iron, so I pull everything right out of the dryer and hang it or fold it.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? Somewhere in between, but I do make it every morning.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? My dishes go into the dishwasher - the rest of my family is not so conscientious, so I often find a sink full of dirty dishes when I wake up in the morning, thanks to my son's late night snacking. It drives me nuts.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? I would not eat off my floors, I have three dogs - no matter how often I sweep, there is always dog hair on the floor.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? I keep the outside of my car clean. The inside is neat most of the time, now that my kids are grown. My trunk is loaded with linens and textbooks right now, I store all my school supplies in my trunk.

[Pawie 6]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry?

I don't iron more than in an emergency, but my clothes are neat and clean.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between?

Pretty nice. I like to have it even and straight.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms?

I don't have a dishwasher and just clean up my dishes right away.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner?

They are all right. I don't mind a little dust in the corners.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk?

Mostly washed and shiny, but sometimes I don't have time to run through the automat. Trunk ? Usually filled with something.

[LizzieB 0]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? My clothes are always neat. But I don't like ironing much, so I take my work clothes to the cleaners. Casual stuff gets hung right out of the drier.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? I only make my bed when company is coming over. And then it is perfect and beautiful. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? I always rinse my dishes right after I use them and most of the time they go straight into the dishwasher. The pots and pans might sit on the counter for a day or two until I have enough of them to warrant a sink of hot, soapy water.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? The maid mops each week. But they can't be all that clean, although I've been known to eat something I dropped on the floor.

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? The outside needs to be washed. My car is white, so it can go dirty a while without looking too bad. The inside is pretty clean all the time. I don't have a trunk....

[DCAHNM 0]

I just thought of something funny regarding #5...

The "Service Engine Soon" light came on in my car. I was concerned about it and I had made an appointment to get my car fixed, (or see whatever the deal was with the light). The guys at the dealership couldn't see the car until the next day, so I decided I had better clean the interior (remember, my driveway is a dirt road and I have two kids). Anyway, by the next morning, (and after about an hour of cleaning), the "service engine" light went off (and stayed off)..so I cancelled the appointment. Everyone had a good laugh..

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry?

A lot! I don't iron because I don't have time but I always check before buying if they need ironing or not

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between?

So so

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms?

In the dishwasher waiting to have it full

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner?

It depends, next to my hamster is never clena, impossible! The rest is ok

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk?

I don't have a car

[KansasPettyFan 1]

1. How neat are the clothes you wear? Do you iron? Fold them promptly? Pull them out of the dirty laundry? My clothes are neat. I try not to buy iron-ables. Not having to dress up for work helps. I don't pull them out of the dirty laundry.

2. How do you make your bed? Hospital corners? All over the floor? Or somewhere in between? No hospital corners but it is always made. I hate getting in an unmade bed at night.

3. Do you leave dirty dishes in your dishwasher? In the sink? On the counters? In other rooms? In the dishwasher. Very rarely is anything dirty and in the sink.

4. Are your floors clean enough to eat off of or is there an old science experiment growing in the corner? You can't eat off of with two dogs living here but there's no experiments growing either. lol

5. How clean is the outside of your car? How about the inside? Is there junk in your trunk? It has been raining every 3 days or so so it is hard to keep the outside clean. Junk in the trunk is a can of fix a flat and plastic sheets (folded neatly) for when the plant buying season starts.
