Why would crumbs in your kitchen be more important than loving the people who visit? Do you think you make it uncomfortable for them?

Give it a rest. Fetch isn’t going to happen.

Young kids can’t go from 7 am until 4 pm! Do you have little kids? I’m not for the snacking all the time but this is crazy.

Roughage. To clear out the Burger King/gas station food. Duh.
Delicious, lovely roughage. Only the best.
I would bet good money that within the year, BKL has a policy of "closing the bathroom," if she doesn't already. C'mon, she just polished the toilet and she doesn't want your nasty sprinkle on it. There's a lovely bench you can sit on in the hall and think about what you almost did. You pooped three days ago, you disgusting thing. Why would you need to go again? You might get your oily fingerprints on the perfect handle.

This is why there is a serious obesity epidemic. Young children do not need to eat greasy convenience food. If they are hungry between meals they should get an apple out of the fruit bowl, sit on the front doorstep and have a nice, healthy, nutritious snack. They do not need a bacon, nacho cheese, funion burger.

Negative: IL kitchen habits back at it again! Just went to the kitchen for a glass of water, only to see the huge platter of semi-frozen hamburger patties that is apparently going to be left out overnight.
Positive: For once, we didn't have to ask for them to silence their four loud cuckoo clocks so the kids could sleep. They did that on their own steam, and also turned the air conditioning on for the night!
It's been a nice visit overall so far. Hope everyone has a great time, and come scream into the pillow that is this thread when you need to. Looking forward to reading all the hastily typed missives from the bathroom!
Turned on ac just for the night? What? Please tell me you're in Alaska, Canada or upstate NY.

Do you seriously think small children should go from 7AM to 4PM with only an apple in between? Do you not feed your children lunch?
If I am serving a late lunch/early dinner bbq at 4pm, I would not expect to have a pre-lunch/dinner meal especially if I had just eaten a big bowl of cereal that morning. If you really must eat, a delicious piece of fruit should be enough to sustain them until the bbq starts. I always keep a well stocked fruit bowl on the breakfast bar - you don't need to enter the kitchen - just grab an apple, banana, orange or pear, go sit outside in the fresh air and enjoy!
The 4th of July bbq spread is a much heavier meal than one would usually eat. I can't imagine eating a big, salty, heavily processed turkey sandwich from Panera only to turn right around and eat bbq just a few hours later.
