you can tell your guests:
If you don’t like the accommodations, get the F*CK out!
“I can’t find a place to charge my phone”? “I hate the giant bouquet”? SERIOUSLY? Who writes this crap for Yahoo and how do I get that job?

I can understand this article, because there are things that one might do to make a stay more hospitable. They left out ‘lock the dogs up’; many people might like that. Not that we’d do it.
Here’s a run down at our place:
There are no tables so precious you can’t put a glass down.
I’m not installing ‘sconces’ so my guests won’t bump their knees, sorry.
People who stay here know they can rummage through the fridge or get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night… it’s a small house, so we’ll probably hear, but we’re not gestapo, fer pete’s sake.
Oh, the guest room does have a LOT of morning light coming through the window blinds… I haven’t gotten around to normal curtains in there. Only thing I’m sorry over.
No bouquets, giant or minuscule.
A charger for the guest room really *is* a good idea. Other than that, we’re a small, very informal bunch in a small, informal house. Works for us.
wow that list was stupid.
my house is pretty big but i’m not going to put guests in D2′s bedroom with the overly soft lumpy mattress and horse show ribbons by the hundreds hung on the wall – nor in D3′s room with the hard futon, dark brown decor and music instruments lining the walls and flat surfaces. not going to put them in the boy’s room because he is sleeping in there, nor my bedroom for the same reason (us in there, not the boy). that covers the four bedrooms in this house.
we have plenty of room for guests though, they get the comfortable queen sized air-mattress set up with soft sheets and a quilt (more in the winter) on the floor in the basement “wreck room” where they have private access to a very large bathroom with a steam shower. of course guests are going to be awakened fairly early in the morning when the dogs make their joyful barking way to the basement door for their morning constitutional.
fortunately enough all guests to this point have been friends of the kids and they don’t complain about the lack of a “guest room”.
i can not imagine anyone saying they hate a big bouquet of flowers. that was just stupid.
Sounds nice… if I leave right now, how long would it take me to get there?
11-12 hours by car, faster by small plane
com’on up! i’d show you a good time :woot:
You don’t know how tempting that sounds… maybe when the doc releases my gall bladder from it’s prison and I can eat again…
My guests get: “There’s where your sleeping. The bathroom is over there. There’s food in the kitchen.”
Ah, an accomplished hostess! :worship:
>>>guests won’t have to negotiate their way back to bed in an unfamiliar space.
Sheesh… what kind of furniture could possibly be in the middle of the floor between the light switch and the bed? And how big is that room, anyway? There’s usually about two steps to “negotiate”…
Our guests have it made at our house.
Guest bedrooms, the main guest bedroom is right next to the upstairs bathroom which they can completely take over because we have our own bathroom in our bedroom.
I usually make all kinds of goodies for them and go grocery shopping a couple days before they arrive, buying things I know they like.
Whole house gets cleaned, they are free to use anything they like including our computer to do whatever they want.
But they do not screw with the dogs, the dogs rule the house whether the guests like it or not. If the guests don’t like it they can leave. But we have never had any guests who didn’t fall under the spell of the dogs so no problems there.
Our guests have nick named our house as Chez Grech, our guest room even have names. The cow room, obviously because my collection of cows are in there and the peach room because it has peach comforter and curtains.
