Well, I am feeling better, thanks to intensive application of heavy flirting last night when I went out dancing, and a winning basketball game (that I played in the pep band for) this afternoon, along with working on a number for Wednesday's drag show, and cleaning my house. Whoot!

However, one of teh things I did was buy Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, after their enthusiastic pimpage here. While they were fabulous for many parts of my house, the one thing I can't get clean is the top of the toilet, where I'd acidentally splattered some hair dye a month or so ago. It stained a lovely purplish color, and I can't get anything to fix it! Mr. Clean was my last hope! Anyone got any better suggestions?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh and I dropped off my dry cleaning today too. Along with a bag full of wire hangers for them to recycle. It bears mentioning because there are items that have been in that bag for about three months.

None that I have heard yet. The Scrubbing Bubbles faded mine but it is in no way pristine. It just fades a little every time I clean. And the Magic!Crack Erasers didn't erase it either.

Our wings are not tired.

Hi

Oh my. I was 700 posts behind in Bitches and I read the whole thing. I was out of town for my birthday and have been in constant motion since I got back.

The birthday greetings were very touching. Thank you so much.

Of course it would have been sensible to keep notes as I read, but I didn't.

Beth, love the cut. Your waves lay just perfectly.

And ugh, I just get to post and now I'm getting bugged for attention. I'll be back.

and another 6 posts while I composed one. Ugh

As usual, I worried needlessly about missing a phone call. I was home with my coffee and doing dishes when my cousins called. My aunt is paralyzed on the right side and is going into a rehab center next week to start working on mobility and getting her speech back. She's a feisty old broad, so I'm pretty sure she'll get some of it back through sheer will alone. I'm greatly relieved to find out it wasn't worse, I'm not ready to lose any of my aunts or uncles.

beth, that haircut is very flattering! Flirty looking, even.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Thanks - I like it a lot.

I sorted and found all the paperwork for the taxes... despite the dread it was a quick job - So tomorrow I can make copies and on Monday it goes out priority mail. yay!

Scrubbing bubbles work if you get the hair dye right away. The longer you wait - the more likely the stain will remain. But, it will fade pretty well if you keep at it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Is it a porcelin tub?

You might try a traditional Hydrochloric Acid-based toilet bowl cleaner. Hydrochloric Acid goes after mineral deposits. 89 cents a bottle at Big Lots.

But rinse immediately. IJS.

Might want to avoid this if you have a plastic or fiberglass tub.

Also might want to test a small amount on a tiny patch (maybe use a q-tip) of a corner of the tub, first.

It's not in the tub, it's on the top of the toilet tank....there's no Big Lots around here, any idea where I'd get some hydrochloric acid in a grocery store? (Ah, fi only I still worked in the chem lab!)

Meara, many cheap toilet bowl cleaners may have it. Sometimes humidifier cleaners are HCl. As always, best to check on the label.

Sail, I am so relieved to hear that your aunt is starting rehab so soon. My thoughts will be with her and with you.

Thanks, Cass. I'm thinking of taking a road trip to Michigan next weekend to check things out. My cousin Aaron is there right now and I haven't seen him since his wedding in 2002. He's the one living in Corvallis, OR and I told him I'm going to come out and visit next year. Look for me, then!
