Hey--I have a cleaning question (my lameassed OCD is kicking in again)--for shower nozzles that are partially blocked, how does one clear them?

You know what I do?

I buy a new showerhead. Unless it is a really fancy-schmancy, gold plated, handmade special expensive showerhead, I've found it isn't worth the trouble trying to degunk those damned things.

I got a shiny new white refrigerator and it's so beautiful and clean except for I cannot get the grayish sticky residue from the sticker that was attached to it off.

WD40, or even vegetable oil.

Goo Gone works wonders on sticker residue.

Do you just throw out the old showerhead? I hate throwing out things that can be, theoretically, fixed if I just got around to it.

Yup. Keep in mind, I'm buying $6 showerheads at target to replace the water conserving spitters that the apartment complex installed. So I'm not exactly investing in the infrastructure of my abode. I'm just in search of a shower in which I actually get damp.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Trudy has a good idea. Or get a bucket with a handle and hang it there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm having a dilemma. I can't decide if I should buy a printer or not. Every so often, I really really wish I had one, but generally printing stuff out for free at school is fine. But it would be really handy for the impending job search, especially since you're not supposed to print on your own (better) paper at school. What to do?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jesse, we found a great printer, copier, fax thingie at Target for less than $90. It's odd how you never need a printer until you have one.

Yeah, they're pretty cheap -- I just saw one that looked decent for $50. But, you know, I could use the fifty bucks for something else if it's just going to sit there. I guess I'll see if I get caught up in the store....
