Apparently Tuesday is election day here in Dallas. Apparently with
ELEVEN
TX constiutional amendments. I have heard ZERO information on any of them. No sample ballot with pro/con arguements/websites. CA elections are so much better.
Also, tried a Super Target for groceries. Prices seemed better. Selection was ok. The "shopping experience" was much worse. And my knee gave out in aisle 14, resulting in me falling back. So my wrist, ankle, and tailbone all ache a bit. Nothing bad, but still frustrating.
I love cleaning with vinegar and baking soda...often in scrubbing bubbles combination. The lack of residue trumps even the greenest commercial alternative.
Converting friends to the idea was easy when I made each a batch of 'soft scrub' with their own favorite scent. (1/4 cup baking soda, enough dish washing liquid to create the 'soft' consistency and 10 drops of essential oil. My favorite is cinnamon, but tea tree, vertivert, verbena, white pine and lavender are favorites.) Now they make their own.
Usually for bathroom cleaning I add a few drops of lavender oil to the vinegar. It mitigates things a bit
My standard cleaner is 9 parts vinegar, one part concentrated liquid dish soap, and artificial lemon oil or whatever essential oil to cover vinegar smell is cheapest. Use that for any dishes I hand wash, cleaning kitchen and bathroom floors. Pretty much my all purpose cleaner, with or without baking soda as appropriate. (Don't usually need baking soda for dishes, do for pots and pans and floors and toilets). Don't use it on walls because we've got some sort of cheap plaster that vinegar damages.
I'm watching a freaky TV movie. This is something like the third movie about a kidnapped child that Lifetime has shown today. Does this network just exist to terrify parents?
Does this network just exist to terrify parents?
Well, it is also there to give people overly romantic pictures of the world
I vaguely remember the true story that this one was based on. Delimar Vera. [link] The story is even freakier than I'd remembered it.
So sorry PixK. Peace to the former students memory.
Oh Kristin-- much ~ma to your student's family.
