If I did that I'd never get off the computer all day!
I do have a web over the couch in the living room, though. At the house I had a monthly sweep for cobwebs and I could let it go to every 2 months if necessary, except on occasion. Here, despite all the spiders outside, I have only swept a couple of times since moving in. Most of the 'cobwebs' up high were actually dust bunnies blown there by the forced air furnace. With the radiators, I get less mess. I suspect what I'm seeing is a dust bunny of some sort that floated up and stuck on the stippled ceiling.
Major paperwork push has left everything looking better except the dining table which is currently in worse shape. I opened all the mail and dh and I had to replace one credit card, our auto club card, our medical insurance card and our travel insurance cards. I can't believe the coincidence of all coming in the same 10 days of mail. I activated the credit card. I paid a bill and discovered I had already paid it by accident but, on the other hand, I had not paid the credit card bill I was supposed to pay on Monday night. Sigh.... So I've paid the card off in full in order to stop the interest but since that's the card I used to buy all the stuff for the refugees, it will be a lot of interest to pay. I feel incredibly stupid (we have three Mastercards and I selected the wrong one.)
I've had my lunch and am now working on credit card chit entry into Quicken. That's why the dining table is in worse shape, the chits are sorted by account at the moment all over the table.
Before I start that, I'll check email.
Nancy: the instant pot shouldn't ever blow up like the old fashioned pressure cookers do. For two reasons:
1. it reaches a much lower pressure point, therefore takes longer to cook than a stove-top pressure cooker. That's OK, rice may take 25% longer but that's just another minute.
2. It controls the heating element. If it senses the pressure is getting too high, it will turn off the heat and the pressure will lower. You are the one who has to do that with a stove top pressure cooker by paying close attention to it.
I'm assuming I get my ADD from mom. She needed the pressure cooker to cook fast because she'd forget to start dinner and this was before microwaves. On the other hand, she'd get distracted and fail to turn off the stove at the right time, so I can recall at least 3 times she was crying while cleaning dinner off the ceiling. I wish I could take her up in my arms now and say "I understand and I'm so sorry this kept happening to you."
