1) Dude. I hate to tell you this. You're going to have to shell out some more $$$ to deal with your chimney.
I know you think the flue is open. But I shouldn't come home from your house smelling like a campfire. I'm fairly certain that either a) the flue isn't all the way open or b) some animal has built a nest in your chimney and is blocking the majority of the smoke's exit route.
2) Again, why are you hosting a dinner party when you have no kitchen? It was really good that the other couple brought baked ziti, because I don't know how we would have eaten the paper plates. They're a little dry, I find.
3) When one is hosting a dinner party, it is generally good form to at least make an attempt to clean your house up a bit. I don't need to see your dirty underwear in a heap on the bathroom floor. Ew. Gross.
4) Yes, my son is older than your daughter. We all know this. Yes, he is considerably more mobile, and likes to try and get into things. Don't look at me like a crazy person when I remove all the appetizers from the coffee table. Unless you want your new (expensive - surprise!) couch to be fingerpainted with hummus, I'm going to move it.
5) I am also not a crazy person for thinking that it's not too early for you to get outlet covers. It's not. And I don't want my kid to get electrocuted, either! Or are you going to wait until your child is licking her fingers and sticking them in herself to babyproof your home?
