I am thinking I will do "LDS standards" which means no drinking, smoking, ect.  

Not because of major repairs and renovations or anything, but because I don't wear my shoes in the house, don't allow food or drinks other than water on carpeted areas, etc.

feels like i am drinking from the fire hose, all help and advice is welcomed!  

@Mary Mitchell how fast do you think trees can drink water?

I’m just still new to this and drinking out of a firehouse trying to learn how to deal with expert manipulator.

oh we still need to grab a drink sometime.

Sometimes people think that they can sit out front with all there buddies, drink, and throw empty beer bottles into the yard. 

As a final aside, I believe it is time I buy you lunch or drinks.
