oh reinje, my dearest friend. Do you know how many weird looks I've gotten when I say, "Do you have a garburator"? Same thing with "expirey date." ok, the most recent thing I have noticed that I haven't cleaned in QUITE a while is the top of my door frames. I looked up for some reason, and lo, a new firmament was forming above my head and I never even noticed. um.... I really hate to break this to you... but I don't remember ever being at a Disney wedding!!! I have been wracking my pea brain ever since you mentioned this! And of course feeling so guilty because what kind of friend am I who forgets another friends' wedding, because surely it was a friend, or at least a good aquaintance, who invited me to their horrible Disney wedding!! I have been seriously fretting about this! You KNOW it that I'd be all writing about it if I could figure out what the darn dang heck you were talking about. Help me remember reijne, help me. Put me out of my misery so I can put you out of yours and write about this thing.

Taipraita, my dear Menno. First of all, I applaud your use of the term "firmament." Spectacular. Secondly, it was a prug wedding (oh for shame, Eunice will NOT be happy I used that word!!!) in the bottom of the EMC and I think it was like, Little Mermaid or something. Third, you never finished telling your story about lunching with Sir Andrew Davis. tee hee! Such a charge I give you. Mwah!

Here are some handy cleaning tips, that I received from someone I hardly know, who clearly had me pegged! To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! (Personally I would just burn them, but that would surely be more toxic.) Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer. Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China. Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets. Polish jewelry. (how about Swedish jewelry?) Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes. Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer Tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water. So, now you are all set! Just try to remember not to injest any of the Alka Seltzer while you are cleaning!

Gladys - Herrn im Firmament, Gladys, you made me laugh so hard I peed. And then I had to take an Alka Seltzer bath to get clean (Drop 2 Alka Seltzer tabs in one inch of water)...a bit of a whore's bath, but let the punishment fit the crime is what I always say.

A belated addition, reinje: only last year, the concept of removing the blender blade and base for cleaning was introduced to me by my roommie D.R.! Yikes!
