re: grout: Hubby says that once you have your grout as clean as you want it and TOTALLY DRY, paint it with clear laquer.
That, of course, is the answer to my concerns about Daniel's suggestion that when the time comes to renovate the bathroom here, we replace nasty pathetic plastic surround with classy tile. Aesthetically speaking I rather like tile. Cleaning-wise? I'm a bit wary. So my question is, just how scrubbable is clear laquer?
We could apply the Chris Rock test.
There is a Chris Rock test? Is is that he can't be your boyfriend if he watches Chris Rock?

Nope. "If you've been going out for three months, and you haven't met any of his friends, you are not his girlfriend."
It's a good test to prove that you
aren't
"the girlfriend," but I think you can have been going out that long, have met friends and still not be. Perhaps I'm projecting.

Huh. That explains why things ended with Sh.
It is almost midnight and I
cannot sleep.
This was an opportunity! for me to sleep at like 9.30! and it's just not working! no fair!

Hubby is grateful you asked, because when I asked him, he said, "Did I say laquer? I meant urethane." Urethane would not take much with cleaning and, according to Hubby, "Urethane is what they put on roller rink floors, and laquer is generally put on dining room tables." Soft-Scrub should have no problem with either.
We could apply the Chris Rock test. Has he met any of your friends?
Hmmm. Well, by accident, he's met two. (like, they came down to my apartment to borrow something.) I've met one of his friends -- he manages a bar we've gone to.
Whenever I've mentioned going to a party where my friends are, he kinda looks green. I can kinda understand the looking green thing, but if he refuses to ever meet my friends, I don't think it'll work.
I think there are spots on my walls that seem lighter now that I Magicked them. This paint is all very very old. And apparently very dirty. I really am not cleaning them *all* so I will just have to be wary of my spot cleaning and not clean too deep.
I was going to mention that, and forgot. So I'll just nod my head and agree. The Majikal Mystery Mr. Clean Eraser Of POWER does have the ability to take paint off walls/doors. As I learned the first time I used one.

Gah, me too. But I just took an Ambien, and so I should be asleep in about 10 minutes. Yay drugs.

It's not taking the paint off so much as really, really cleaning it and in an old house... I just didn't know the paint was really that color.
Not that I am surprised it can take off paint.

This is no time for your syllogistic logic! What's next, joining a gang? (If you've been in his gang for three months, and you haven't met--)
Interesting mail today. Buffistas Cookbook! Yay! And notice that my divorce is now final. Yay?
