Nope. My imagination runs too wild.

The house on your page and the house on the wikipedia page, explaining the horror (now I won't sleep tonight) do not match. Is yours just stock?

Here's a gross one - I once had a dish drying rack (no dishwasher) with a plastic mat under it. For a few days I smelled something bad in the kitchen and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I finally picked up the mat and found where the stick was coming from. There were little maggots wiggling around in stale water.

I now have a drying rack with legs, so I can always see under it.

I moved to the unit nextdoor in February. My friend came over and with garbage bags in hand, asked me if I 'actually use' most every item in my cupboards and closets. I got rid of SO much stuff that I don't miss now. I also bought a set of dishes - it helps me not gather extra pieces that don't match and only buy pieces when I need / can afford them.

The actual moving process was easier than a move to another building, but the packing and preparing (throwing lots out) was the same.

When I was a teenager I babysat for a lot of families. I was a busy-body and did a lot of house cleaning while babysitting, at no expected extra fee. No one ever complained and I was always called back. Though, perhaps the parents didn't think i was creepy or assume I was being judgemental about their housekeeping as I was only 16-17 years old. Might be weird if I did it for my 30 year old friends now. Just keeping things tidy and cleaning up after you and the kids is more appropriate at this age.
