I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sounds like Gaiman doesn't hide the drug stash very well...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Loving P-C's pieces on India, especially the wedding.
Strength to Jilli's friends, and strength and calm to Cashmere and her family.
Anne, the all-white room sounds a little arctic. I actually loved the scary unicorn room. Well, maybe not the actual!unicorns, but the blue and the lavender were nice. Oh well, white will probably sell better.
Betsy, do ostrich plume dusters really do a better job than the magnetic fiber ones?

If I only had a brain...
I've never owned a magnetic one. Do they work?

I have one. I've had it for about 3 years and it's GREAT for cat hair. Does well on the dust, too, but cat hair is my big litmus test.

I love mine. The telescoping one gets the wall and ceiling corners, I have a bent one for the ceiling fans, and the bitty one that looks just like a ballerina skirt (twirl! twirl!) is great for getting in between the knicknacks that I'd otherwise have to duct tape down and use the leafblower, a la Tim Allen. Great also for books and tv and monitor screens, plus vented surfaces. You have to take them outside and beat them on the brick periodically (or shake them over a trashcan), but they hold the dust and don't redeposit it, and don't push it around the way I've found ostrich plumes often do.

I just have a hand one. But this leads me to a rather prosaic cleaning question: I have three ceiling fans which I keep going constantly. I try to clean them once a year. but they are coated with this pernicious, greasy dusty buunyfilth. Does anyone have any tricks for getting this goo off of something that's 9 inches over my head?

What is even happening?

You could get a chair or step ladder, some paper towels and some Fantastic! (or some other cleaner like Formula 409, or something that does not need rinsing) and try that.

JZ, I've done a similar coredump about a subject most folks didn't find squicky, so whether I share your squick, I'm in your corner for posting it.
I left support group when they told me soon I would lose my anger, and I thought to myself "In a world like that, where does stand-up come from?"
That's nicely put, Erika.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Or take a bucket of bleach and just hurl it up at the fan while its running on it's fastest speed.
What?
