asking self..

If no moss grows on a rolling stone, how in the world does so much damn dust accumulate on ceiling fan blades?

    OMG. I wanna know too. How does that happen? No matter how fast you turn it up it just never comes off. I bought one of those ceiling fan blade cleaner thingies and I’m tellin ya …..It doesn’t work so well.

    I wanna know how cob webs get in the corners. Is that just dust clumping together or are there THAT MANY damn spiders in my house?

    When you get to the bottom of this…please share.

    I just spent the last 25 minutes dusting my ceiling fan blade. I had to clean THE TOP of the ceiling fan blade…HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? I want to know how I get dust on my walls. ON MY WALLS.

    Excellent question and one that I have pondered many a time, while standing on a chair with my Swiffer.

    Dust on the ceiling fan builds up so fast. What a bitch I have no idea why!

    LOL. That made me just guffaw. And, I have to say, your recent photos posted remind me again just how talented you are. Particulary the one of your daughters in the doctor’s office. What a great perspective.

    Because men tend to not clean. If men cleaned, things like ceiling fan blades would be self-cleaning. Trust me, they’d have invented that shit a while ago.

    My blades are hideous! And I’m still too short to clean them, even if on a chair! :)

    You mean that’s not part of the finish? Oh shit, now I have to climb up there and dust the damn things?! ;o)

    My husband is a ceiling fan merchandiser for Hampton Bay…he works at Home Depots in southern Ca. Anyway, he dusts the floor models and changes bulbs and stuff all day. Does he clean OUR ceiling fans? Only when I nag him to death. How the dust gets up there I’ll never know.

    I’m so spoiled… my housekeeper deals with that all crap… I’ve yet to figure out why we have to clean a shower, exactly… but that’s just me.

    One of these days I’m going to start collecting the dust on my fans, put it all in a clay pot, and grow a plant in it.

    That is so damn funny.

    When you find out, will you let me know?

    My big thing is how in the heck does the inside of the front car window get dirty? What hits it? It’s the inside! Of course, it’s impossible to clean too.

    Ha ha! Good question! I hate it too though – not an easy place to dust.

    I just don’t understand how the one in my dining room blows the dust onto the walls but the dust never comes down on the table? Is it like immune to gravity or at the very least, places I can reach without falling off a ladder? Now I feel terribly guilty and need to go clean mine. Thanks for adding one more thing on my list of OCD’s. :)

    LOL. So true.

    This is exactly why I don’t turn my fans off – because then I will see all the junk that is on them and I will feel like a bad wife (nah just kidding – me? a bad wife? never!)
