Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:30 pm     Marcellas may just have a problem with Gerry's age. Earlier today he mentioned being hit by a child and his head hittng the radiator which required stitches. The head injury was caused by his mother. He also said that there isnt anything he wasnt beat with as a child and when he said this there was silence in the room. So it sounds like Marcellas was pretty badly abused as a child and might just resent someone of Gerry's age. He is carrying his own garbage which is distorting and exaggerating Gerry's faults. |
Mystery | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:34 pm     I live in California now and most of my friends never even heard of a radiator! I grew up in an old house in Massachusetts with the big clunky accordion-type radiators. My "jumping on the bed and falling into the radiator and needing stitches" story usually just results in blank stares. And hardly anyone ever takes me up on my offer to see the dime-sized bald spot on the back of my head (although I think my "check out my bald spot!" offer would go over pretty well in the BB house). |
Blinky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:43 pm     I mostly save the sink for washing dishes or rinsing veggies...although I have never used the sink to clean kitties and their poopy butts, I have to confess to washing babies and their dirty behinds... I hang my head in shame |
Draheid | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:48 pm     I remember using the kitchen sink to bathe my infants very early on ... I've bathed my kittens in it ... I've even washed my hands in it after working on the lawn mower or car or other outdoor work ... I've seen my SO hand-washing 'unmentionables' and such that require they be 'washed by hand' in there ... that's why there is a huge bottle of anti-bacterial dishwashing detergent and anti-bacterial hand soap sitting right there ... and a hot-water tap ... to clean and sanitize the area for it's 'other' intended uses. I don't see the problem with using the kitchen sink for other things besides washing dishes!! JMO - FWIW |
Duncan | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:50 pm     Speaking of kitchen sinks.....how many parents can say they have *never* washed their baby in the sink? I used to while they were still too small for the tub. Anything that goes into the sink can be washed right out of it. BTW - Just curious - Did anyone watching the feeds see Gerry washing his drawers in the sink, or is it just another rumour being spread? |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:52 pm     Gerrry aint washing babies he is washing his diry underwear and his sweaty gross shirts!!..Not to mention he is friggin living with 8 other people |
Ryanc2002 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:55 pm     And what do babies do BMH? Eat, sleep, poop and spit up all over themselves. |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 12:56 pm     Problem being, Gerry is not the only one at fault here. Others have also made mistakes. Maybe he feels if they can put partially covered butts on the food counter, what difference does it make? |
Jane_Bond | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:03 pm     Wood, Thanks! And, fer gawd's sake, go put on some boxers! Haha! Believe me, having children, who poop and pee and puke and bleed and sneeze and cough and snot and cry and drool and spit all over the place will probably cure most people's prissyness about "germs". Anyone scared of hep c because of rinsing ones undies in the sink must not eat any meet or dairy products or prepare any such products in their kitchen - you've a higher chance of swallowing a bit of eColi than contracting hep C from a sink that sees routine rinses and washes. Heck, having a spouse will cure just about anyone of this sort of squeamishness! My point is that the HGs and we are overreacting about Gs supposed hygeine problem, as Wiseolowl has pointed out. And, coming from a "demonstrative" (euphemism!) family certainly wouldn't pre-dispose one to problems in later life, nor would it give one problems with mid-aged men or women. One would think that it would give one insight into how badly it hurts to be picked on and bullied. Hmmm, you'd think M's unique racial and sexual perspectives would give him greater insight, too. Anyway, I am not giving him any easy excuses for acting mean. He ought to know better. And, Mystery, I, too, have bashed my head on the rad while jumping on the bed! And, I cooked the skin on the inside of my forearm one night when I fell asleep with my arm resting on it in the middle of winter - yee-ouch! |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:27 pm     I just don't get it!!On the weekends my husband misses showers, doesn't shave, etc. My sons will wash their dirty socks in the kitchen sink if they have a date and didn't do the laundry. I myself wash my undies in woolite in the kitchen sink and washed my hair and my kids hair in the kitchen sink...so the hell what? do you eat out of the sink? Do you pour spoiled milk and other combinations of gross crap down the sink? What is the issue here. They can't get on the guy for being a d*ck and disrespectful so they like many other adolescents have to find something to b*tch about. Marc is the only phobic I know who pours alcohol down the drain for sanitary purposes, which I find to be mental. I guess my whole family including myself and my parents are just a bunch of nasty slobs, but I'd rather be that than what I see from the insecure, disrespectful people in that house. Who do they think they are kidding? We have all seen the hygene habits they possess and more than once have commented on them, but the same people on this board as well as in this house see what they want to see. If you wash your hand after every toilet use and shower every single day without fail, then I'd suffice to say you are in the minority. However if you wash your hands after zit picking, toe nail clipping and doing the nasty with your partner then I'd say you were in the majority. As for Gerry acting like a Gorilla and having some fun, what about the camping expedition Chiara and Marc went on, or Marc Queening out all the time, or Chiara offering herself as dessert of the month on the kitchen table. I guess that's okay because they are young and just having a little fun. Give me a friggin' break. I guess i'd use the hypocrite to define some statements. |
Kaili | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:29 pm     My cousin got out of the bath when she was about 8 and was standing with her towel on in front of the radiator to warm up. She got too close and had grill marks on her butt for quite awhile. Heehee. I use my sink for all sorts of stuff- soaking plants, cleaning aquarium filters (fish poop), hand washing, etc. Dishes usually go in the dishwasher but often they start out in the sink before making their way in there. But I rinse the sink and scrub it down. Not a big deal to me. I sit on counters too, but not in bikinis. Jeans, shorts, sure. Not a problem- my food preperation occurs on cutting boards which I do not sit on. And I wash my counters too. The only reason I would not sit on the table or a counter would be if it was dirty and I didn't want to dirty my pants! Oh yeah, I have washed bras and other "delicates" in the sink as well. I clean it first because I don't want food getting on my clothes. I don't have a laundry room in my apartment and the sink is as good a place as any to hand wash stuff. |
Crossfire | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:30 pm     You go girl! |
Mystery | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:31 pm     Jane and Kaili, those radiators DID leave distinctive burn marks, didn't they? |
Boberry | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:44 pm     I think Marcellas problem with Gerry has to do with the fact that Gerry saved him in the first round and Marcellas feels like he owes Gerry for that and that ticks him off. I think it further ticks him off because it puts him in a position of not being able to be part of the "in group" if he follows his conscience and does what he thinks is right. He too would be ostracized if he in any way didn't follow the other sheep in their immature attack on Gerry. I personally would much rather have someone wash their skanky underwear and sweaty shirts in the sink than have someone whose butt cheeks hang out of their shorts sitting on the counter where I am going to prepare a meal. Go figure. |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:46 pm     I know where I'd like to put some burn marks!! |
Tortie2k | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:52 pm     Duncan, the kitchen sink was where my baby had her baths, once she could sit up. It was fun and just the right height. She loved it. A couple of years later, after spending a few days with my mother-in-law, the latter told me my daughter sure didn't like having a bath. I thought, well, that's odd. Then my M-I-L told me my daughter had a fit when she was put in the kitchen sink! She must have been 3 years old by then. Duh. |
Indybarb | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:55 pm     mystery and jane bond..... we used to open hershey bars and keep them in the paper and put them on the radiator to melt and eat with our fingers.....yum ! |
Mollywood | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:55 pm     I think they have to hate g. because they have kept such a clubby front. all of them are great, josh is kept for final voting purposes, and g. is the odd one who they can dump all their hate on and maintaine their relationships. nothing bonds like a mustual enemy poor g. i hate him but i feel sorry for him..i go back and forth he has to know how they talk about him so i want him to wipe them out for that alone |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:57 pm     Gerry just has some un-sanitary habits that are more visible than maybe Chiara's or Eric's for example..they all have dirty habits..but Gerry's are the worst I believe..I mean you dont wash ur dirty clothes in a sink that 8 other people use..that is rude and nasty but Im not saying it's just Gerry they all have gross habits..everybody has bad habits and they shouldn't be complaining.. |
Boberry | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:03 pm     Mollywood, why would you hate Gerry? You don't even know him. Maybe you hate or dislike some of the things he does? And Bmh, I appreciate your adding "I believe" to your comment about Gerry's habits being the worst ... beauty (or lack thereof) is in the eye of the beholder. I would much rather have someone wash their dirty clothes in my sink than leave their pub hairs on my counter! |
Jaysgal | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:04 pm     Ewww! I could not believe what people did with their kitchen sinks. My family only uses the kitchen sink for dishes, pots, pans, etc. and anything having to do with cooking. My sis had her friends wash her hair in their kitchen sink. My sis was shocked. LOL! I couldn't live with someone of such lack thereof hygiene. I mean, it just isn't bearable to me. Gerry's habits are quite bad, but the good news for him is that most Americans' hygiene is actually like that! He just happens to be amongst young people who can easily find fault and want to fault him. Honestly, if I lived in that house, I probably would be too scared about getting sick with the habits of most house guests. I like Jason's hygiene so far. I'm not a neat freak, and I don't like to be one. However, uncleanliness is disturbing too. |
Ryanc2002 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:10 pm     You know nowadays they say being too clean can be a bad thing. If you're too clean your immune system doesn't have the oppertunity to build up, especially when you're talking about kids. |
Earthmother | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:11 pm     Yes dear we are pigs...but we have had no illnesses, allergies and no one in my house has had food poisoning from anything cooked here. We all got it from a very, high class restraunt however with a 5 star rating..I don't think my kids had 5 colds the whole time they were growning up. They played in the dirt while they ate their picnic lunch and cooked fish right after cleaning it..I guess they built up a resistance from all the filth. I feel so dirty I think I will turn in my teaching credential..hahahaha |
Ryanc2002 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:14 pm     Oh no...no...noooooooo!!!!! I shared a brain with Earthmother. It's just wrong! I think the earth just fell of it's axis. ;-) |
Bbfanatic | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:14 pm     there is not subject getting older than the old hand washing blah blah blah !! we opened a car wash a couple years ago and the first time we took the stack of bills out, my dog went crazy smelling them. being a bird dog his nose gets the best of him. he practically knocked the bills out of my hubbys hands. i remember us discussing all the smells he gets off those bills. this money has been handled by many people who took a pee pee and didnt wash. this money has been in peoples front pockets ewwww! and i cant imagine where else it has been. do i wash my hands each time i handle one of these? NO! do you? doubtful! we go to hockey games and i remember my husband telling me they do not have enough urinals in the mens room. one time he went to wash his hands and primp and there were lines of guys using the sinks for urinals. so he obviously didnt go there. you know want usually happens after someone uses the restroom between hockey periods? they usually go get a beer or food. which means they are handling money that may eventually be ours. how many times have i went to walleyworld, went to the restroom, washed my hands, went to open the door, meaning i touched the door or handle. did all the people before me wash their hands? no! the list goes on and on. sorry to bore everyone but i am just trying to get a point across. no matter how much we try, no matter how much marcellus tries, germs are here to stay and i cant spend my life stressing about it. i own and manage a tan salon, which means i basically clean sweaty tanning beds for a living. believe me, gerry is probably in the top 50% of cleanliness. GO GER !!! |
