[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Ain't that some shit.
Srsly, my roommate is PERFECT for me. She has the same ridiculous dedication to costuming that I do, and owns Bring It On 1-4. We just spent the last hour showing each other pictures of our various costumes and such.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh, do it! I wish I'd done that on our old outhouse before we sold the property. The thing is, people used to drop things down the holes (stop laughing!) like glass bottles, where they remain well-preserved. So it's actually possible to find interesting stuff in the, um, enriched dirt, there.
Hey, deep in my soul is still a buried archaeologist... who spent a summer digging in a midden and found a lot of coprolites.

If anyone ever excavates the veceu from my host family's house in Moldova, they will find a hedgehog. Among other things.

If anyone ever excavates the well behind my great-grandparents' house in Kansas, they will find my great-uncle Hal's ashes in an urn.

My host mom. It was eating the chicken eggs. After that, I was like, if she can drop a hedgehog down there, I can drop a tampon or three. There was a bucket for toilet paper, you see. It got burned when full.
Don't y'all just LOVE my Peace Corps stories?

I wish I did not know about the hedgehog. I may haven nightmares.
NORA. Here is the deal. Urea crystals are a bane. A porous bamboo floor is going to be problematic.
There IS a potential solution.
First, get a black light and shine it in as dark circumstances as you can. The urine stains will glow yellow. The intensity of the glow will let you know how intense the saturation is.
Mark out the areas, so you know what needs to be treated.
Get a couple of gallons of Nature's Miracle. It is the ONLY enzyme I have ever found to work.
The instructions will suggest that you mop up the fluid after a few minutes. Don't.
Leave it on as long as you can. The trick is to get the fluid to soak in. The urea crystals will keep growing until the enzyme eats them up.
This may mean that you have to refinish certain areas, but without attacking the proteins, the cause is lost.
I'm a bit concerned about the page you linked using vinegar. Neither vinegar or ammonia do any good. In fact, ammonia feeds the proteins.
Is the bamboo flooring in sections you could easily replace?
Let me know how it goes!

Not Nora (well, OK, I *am* but that's not my name around these parts) but thank you bonny. We have an old cat, and she tends to take out her wrath with an ill timed puddle or two, so your advice is quite useful.
