Roomie Rules as Promised.....

This morning as I stood in the kitchen eating cheerios I saw the rules again and decided it was time to entertain you.....I quote.......

1. Please keep doors locked (loved this one...great idea)
2. Don't eat anything that isn't yours unless set aside in the comunal area (I had to ask what was comunal area...that meant if you over cooked and left stuff on stove top up for grabs...if u dare)
3. Lets' keep counters clear/clean and the sink empty....if you have to leave dishes in the sink, rinse them. (this rule is clearly ignored...but it sounds great)
4. Sunday-Thurs lets' keep it down past 11p (great idea, but there were keg parties on Mon & Tues nites last week so what happened...oh yeah, school is out, so any nite is okey dokey, lucky me, I got here just in time for "open party" season)
5. For privacy purposes, room mates and guests of room mates need to use their OWN bathroom (love this rule since my bath is the only one on ground floor, but I keep it locked, otherwise I may as well live at Wal-Mart...wait, I might like it better...I'll see if they allow overnighting.....they do in an RV....oh when can that ever happen?)
6. After late nights downtown, please make sure the guests you bring back are of a certain caliber..aka no sketchy guys!! (dang...guess the old farmer I met can't come visit!!!)
7. Please keep cigarettes/clove smoking an outdoor activity. (whew....this one had me worried, glad I won't be hearing the smoke alarm, and meeting the local cops!!)
8. Feel free to call a house meeting if you have housemate problems. (woohoo...let's discuss the refrigerator....isn't science classs over?)
9. If you plan on having a lot of people over try to let everyone know before hand! (you see it folks.....so when you all plan to visit, gotta give me warning, I'm very sure each of you wants to see this place!!!!)

Now you have it......the rules I must abide by if I intend to live here 2.5 more mths. Yes, this shall be an adventure I'll not soon forget.
And perhaps some of you with kids in college or going to college will find these rules helpful. You can see that your kids will have rules at school as well....I'm sure this puts your mind at ease!!!! Especially the "skecthy guy" and "smoking" rule....I'm sure you all had similar rules to home, so you can know they will stay intact even when they move to college!!! I know my parents had rules like these....right Mom????
