I have a friend whose children eat all over the house. Whether it's a meal that has been prepared or just something they went in and grabbed. If you go to their house you will find dishes, fastfood wappers and cups, glasses and pop cans in the living room, the computer room, their bedrooms, etc. Until she gets upset and sends them on a scavenger hunt for all of her dishes and glasses.
I'm one of these people who likes having meals at the dinning room table. Grabbing a plate and heading into the living room (pizza or such) when something is on that everyone wants to watch is okay...every now and then.
But all dishes go back to the kitchen when you are finished. It doesn't bother me if there is a drink glass as long as it's in use. And I will admit that I always have a water glass sitting somewhere. Very very rarely that it is ever in my bedroom. If I'm sick, have a migraine or such , then it's possible. I'm not sure why but I just do not like any type of food or dishes in my bedroom.
Just another one of my qwirks, I guess. I swear I think I'm beginning to feel more and more sorry for Griz. I couldn't live wth me if I didn't have to, I'm a bitch!
There are days that I really wish I could be more at ease and relaxed with things like this, but I just can't seem to make myself do it. Although I'm not nearly as bad as I used to be.Once upon a time I had an anxiety attack because my daughter didn't put the nail polish and remover back where they belonged from the night before. And I have been known to actually bring someone a clean ashtray and take theirs, empty and wash it while they were using it. I ran the sweeper, swept the kitchen and bathroom and dusted everyday. Mopped the kitchen and bathroom usually twice a week. Damn, I'm glad I've given up being that anal.
Now if the house gets a little dusty, cluttered or messed up I can live with it without freaking out on people. lol As long as I can't smell the dust......and I said a little.. But the dishes thing still gets to me bad.
What about you? Are you a grab your plate and eat anywhere or at the table type of person? Do you take dishes, glasses or drinks in the bedroom?

For the most part, we just throw the food on the floor around here and root around whenever we are hungry.
Do you take dishes, glasses or drinks in the bedroom? Oh, we allow food in the bedroom but not like that.
But all dishes go back to the kitchen when you are finished. Oddly, I'm fond of using the big plastic quart soup containers one gets from Chinese takeout as drinking vessels. I just re-use them 'til they break then throw them out. But if I'm done with one (but will probably use it later) I pop it in the freezer with the last bit of drink in it. That way no need for ice cubes when I pull it out a few hours afterwards.

For years we did not have a dining room in the small apartment my kids and I were living in. The dining table was a large coffee table in the living room with pillows on the floor to sit on. It used to freak my mother out when she visited because she could no imagine eating while sitting on the floor. LOL I bought a tv tray for her when she visited. But we all ate together and the dishes went back into the kitchen after meals.

Reminds me of visiting my grandma's house and drinking from mayonnaise and jelly jars.
Back to the topic, we never ate at the dinner table- now a days its rare to know any family who does. I always took my meals in my room, but made sure the dishes were out for washing or there when it was my sis's turn in the kitchen.

Oh, we allow food in the bedroom but not like that. Oh, that's definitely allowed. It's considered couples fantasy desert, not food. 
uh oh..... lol...cute Murph..
For years we did not have a dining room When I was growing up I recall us always having a table, but I don't remember ever sitting there as a family and having meals. Maybe that's why I do it now. It's time together without any phones including texting, computers, usually the tv and anything else distracting.
BTW, this is not saying I think there is anything wrong with not eating at a table, or at least together, it's just the way I like it.

growing up it was at the kitchen table. NO dishes were allowed anywhere. Now I eat in the living room on a TV tray or at the kitchen table (which you know is perfect I can see the tv) but dishes gotta get done before going to bed. I use one glass all day long unless I drink milk then I switch

We eat wherever there is a flat surface and sometimes even there isn't. Drop something or leave trash behind and all hell breaks loose.

For the 30 yrs. I was married to Wayne I can probably count on both hands the times we ate at the kitchen table. He always ate on a tv tray in front of the tv...we both did. I grew to think the kitchen table was there just to hold junk until it could be put away.
I eat now sometimes at my table since my kitchen and living room are one big room but more often I use a lap tray and sit in my rocker to eat. Occasionally I eat sitting at my computer but that's rare.
It's the coffee cups.... I have two coffee mugs that are identical and you can bet they're both in use and most of the time one or both of them are sitting here on Zelda's desk when I forget I already have a cup I'm using and get the clean one down.
I'm not as anal about a clean house either as I use to be but I still keep it pretty spotless....I just like it that way and there's no man around to bitch about it one way or the other.

Well when Gary was alive the only time we ate at the dining room table was holidays and special events.........such as anniversary or birthday.......
When I moved back here we got into the habit of always eating at the table cause of my granddaughter............but when I got sick and it became really painful to sit any where by my recliner........we kinda got into the habit of eating in front of the living room..........I am hoping that is a habit that I can now break since I am feeling somewhat better............my granddaughter however wants to eat our evening meal in front of the tv but prefers to sit at the table for breakfast and lunch.........go figure LOL

When I was growing up I recall us always having a table That was not by choice. It was myself and two teenagers living in a tiny two bedroom apartment. The kids each had a small bedroom, I had a sleeper sofa in the living room. There was nowhere for a table so the coffee table doubled for that.

Usually, I grab my plate and sit on the couch eating dinner while watching tv....but, dirty dishes go straight to the dishwasher..I don't like seeing them laying around. When I let my sister stay with me a few years back...we went the rounds because she leaves dishes laying around.
As for the sweeping/dusting/vacuuming....I do that on a regular basis because with 5 dogs..especially right now with them shedding, if I don't, I'll have wall to wall dog hair on my floors.
I like to keep the house tidy. And I normally do not take any dishes in my bedroom.

Make $750 easy per week!!! Make $750.00 a week easy with just 1hour work a day. Can’t be done? Wrong! June 2nd, 2010 Hi, my name is John Daniels and I want to discuss with you a
unique method to make a small fortune online every single week
with a method that isn’t oversaturated already like most other
eBooks you may have downloaded and read already about making
money online. This has nothing to do with blackhat, cpa, ppc, cpc whatever. NO this is a method you probably have never seen before and
because you are one of the first to hear about it, you truly have
the opportunity to get in on the ground floor as one of the
first, and therefore, make a fantastic income online, every
single week, for the rest of your life. And the best part of all is that you don’t have to make a single
investment at all. All you need to do is to follow this guide,
and you will see the results within just a few days. And with
just a simple investment of only a couple of hours when you
start. How much could you be making? It is all up to you basically. As always, the more time you put into this method, the more it will pay off. It’s as simple as
that! Ok, so what is it all about? Well the answer is dead simple. Just a few weeks ago launched their agent imwebmodel.com imwebagent.com program to recruit webcam models (male, female models and couples) for
the web’s largest webcam networks in the world like Livecam,
Pornhub, Redtube, Itslive, Camgirls etc. etc. In total they recruit models for over 1000 online webcam networks
representing over 5 million visitors a day in total. So we are
talking about real traffic here and REAL opportunities. Besides the fact they are recruiting models, they are also now
recruiting AGENTS to recruit these models, and here is where we
step in.imwebmodel.com imwebagent.com pays every agent WEEKLY 10% of what their models are making.
And since a model can make an easy $750 per week, that means that
YOU make $75 off one model EVERY WEEK. If you find 10 models that’s $750 EVERY SINGLE WEEK! Every single week you receive $750 on your Paypal, Epassporte, check or bank account. Is it hard to achieve this goal? HELL NO! As we all know times have been tough lately and so many people
are looking for ways to pay their bills every single month. imwebmodels.com also pays out on a weekly basis so, besides the
fact your models earn about $1 a minute from their home, they
also don’t have to wait for their checks to start rolling in. So how do we find these potential models that will earn OUR bills
for us every single week. EASY! I will tell you how But first you will have to ask yourself, do you want to make some
serious money online? Do you want to INVEST TIME in this method
and opportunity? If you are willing to commit yourself to these questions, you
will be able to achieve it. No question about it. If you don’t
want to make money online then do nothing, and get another hobby. SO, ARE YOU READY? Here we go… Where are our potential models hanging out? What is their
lifestyle and do they need some cash? There are a couple of ways to get models under you quickly. Adult classifieds and Adult dating websites Adult classifieds: Open up a .txt editor and write a catchy classified and mention
some terms like “great payments,” “weekly payouts,” “work
from home,” etc. etc. and, of course, insert your affiliate link
into your classified ad… YOU CAN’T IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE READ
THESE ADS AND CLICK ON YOUR (CLOAKED) AFFILIATE LINK! It’s easy to find websites, just look at these quick Google
searches: “FREE ADULT CLASSIFIEDS” intitle:”free”+intext:”adult”+”classified” classifieds+free+”inurl:”adult” Commit yourself to listing about 20 ads per day for one week.
After that, enjoy your weekly income HOW? Here’s how… 20 Ads daily for a week, aprox. 50 visitors an ad daily = 1000
visitors x 7 with only 1% who signs up? = 70 Models a week making
aprox $120 with 2 hours a day of work with you earning 10% of
what they make? $840 FOR YOU EACH WEEK! Think it’s too good to be true? Nope… In fact all models can
also get a 30% bonus each week so you can add a extra 30% to what you make also don’t forget about … Adult dating websites: Visit (free) adult dating networks and sign up. Make a catchy
piece of text like “Hey you’re looking really good, have you
ever thought about making some extra income?”. You catch my
drift here… Contact as many as people on those dating social networks and
send them these type of messages with your cloaked affiliate link
included and see your models who will work for you start rolling
in almost instantly. Again, Google is our best friend here… free+adult+dating intitle:”dating”+inurl:”adult” intext:”adult”+”dating”+”free” The sky’s the limit, so get your imagination working and start
doing something instead of just reading success stories from
other people online. This is your chance. Don’t wait too long,
because this opportunity will gain in popularity and could become
saturated. I am doing really well at this moment with imwebmodels.com making
an average of 1k a week (no joke). There are so many ways to get models to work for you. Just imagine, I have only talked about ways to get English speaking
models. What about your own native language and classifieds websites… Head on over to
imwebmodel.com imwebagent.com http://www.internetmodeling.com/2835/application.htm
right now and sign up for their agent account HERE. You will be
100% instantly approved and you can start sending out your ads to
get models within just a few minutes from now. Good luck, now let’s get to work!
