stains and fidgety things

[anotheranon]

Bleach gets everywhere. More specifically, the stink of it Will Not Die: I used 10% diluted solution to try and spot-remove stains off a white t-shirt (some success), and multiple hand washings, dinner, alcohol gel, lotion, and 5+ hours later my nails still smell of it. And the lemon scented version makes not one whit of difference :P

I'm learning to wear a long apron with all of these home maintenance experiments, because it's much easier to not worry about chocolate/tomato/curry/whatever when it doesn't reach your clothes in the first place :P

Got D. and myself some "fidgety things" in the form of hand grips, useful for all manner of fidgeting while reading/watching tv/waiting for something to download. For such simple things I can feel the "burn" all the way up the back of my arms - crazy!

Instead of a retroactive "to do" list of what all I did this weekend, I finish here. I've got to learn not to post in here unless I have something interesting to report.

I find everything you post to be interesting. I sort of live vicariously (is that the right word?) thru you and our other more worldly friends. Your post might feel or read dull to you but not to me. I feel I learn a lot from you. Any questions I might have about fashions or fencing, I know you can give me the answers. I just wish I could consult with you and Jeanette about my wardrobe, and I envy both of you the ability and patience to sew. I have no fashion sense at all.
Can you tell me why one must not wear white after Labor Day?

***GRINS*** I'd say anotheranon has the patience to sew ... I'm impatient (and frequently short-fused) over sewing, but even more impatient and short-fused over a retail clothing industry that persists in declaring colours and styles I loathe as "in" and refuses to stock any alternatives. So, just as I cook even though I dislike doing it, because I prefer the taste of REAL food, I sew because it's preferable to the alternative. :p

You flatter me deeply - really, I'm not that wordly wise!

The "no white after Labor Day" upcoming as it's own post - I wasn't sure why either and found a lot of linkage...
