Today I love Strega for quoting Keats.
It's like she gives you a new reason every day, isn't it?
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

How much do I like the fact that actual solution has been offered, in thread, for a problem which was brought up for a completely different reason?
The hivemind rocks.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Do you have a humidifier? Making it heavy enough to stay still for the swiffer is the trick.
Interesting. Sadly, I don't have one.
If one does not have a humidifier, raising humidity in the house can be done with pots of boiling water on the stove, and fans blowing it out of the kitchen.
ETA: Someties Physics works with me, and I have placed a fan on the floor in the next room and pointed it towards the kitchen, blowing cold air into the room, which pushes the hotter, moisture laden air out into the rest of the house.

What is even happening?
I think the tack cloth idea is great, Robin. I know it's what the floor sanders used, when they refinished the floors at our old house. Now I wish I'd thought of it when we demo'd our old kitchen at that house. The house was full of plaster dust. Nasty, icky stuff. I'd do the tack cloth before I tried the humidity. Tack cloth. Vacuum. Wash. In that order.

One day it was quoting Watership Down.

Nilly, I think "a jigsaw puzzle" is the best answer ever.

Did they not watch that C.S.I. with Lindsay Crouse?
I think it was this incident that may have inspired the Lindsay Crouse episode of CSI.
And tack cloths! Geez, why didn't I think of that? That's a brilliant idea, Robin. I need to go to Lowes anyway. I'ma add it to the list.

Oh, thanks, but it was just the plain truth, as I indeed was putting one together (5000 pieces, for my parents' living room. Which they ended up not liking and is still lying in my closet, now that I think about it).

You'll never convince me that all the echoes in "ReSurprise""Reprise" were unintentional.
Well that was on purpose, of course.

And you gotta have serious mojo to get the back-end.
When did Angel say that to Lindsey? S2?
