There's now national uproar about another German ad that involves Jamaica. Our flag accidentally catches on fire in a cafe, and people witness the attempt to douse it, and it starts a huge incident and suddenly there's a riot outside, and the cafe people haven't even realised.

There are Jamaicans mad about flag desecration, and very "they'd never do that with the US flag!" I'm pointing out that although it might be diplomatic suicide to have done that with America, flag burning is allowed, although disliked. Also, if you burn a US flag, people take sides. If you burn a Trinidadian flag, no one knows what just happened (my spellchecker is okay with Jamaican, has no idea about Trinidadian--so there you go). If you burn a flag from the land of Marley, marijuana, and Usain Bolt, you're really mean.

That's why it's us in the ad.

Zenkitty, for stains on glass and ceramics, I use efferedent or other denture cleaners. It's amazing what it will lift off. Plus, I feel okay about accidentally consuming it.

I'm firmly installed in the library now. I need to write. Blargh.

Seconding. I have this old blue glass wine carafe from my grandmother that was stained inside with wine and dust. The opening was too narrow to clean properly, so I stuck a couple denture tabs in there with hot water and left it for a few hours. All I had to do was rinse it and it was beautifully clean.

Kat--they chased me out to my car and gave me the device then. I'm just so pissed off with other people's senses of urgency which fail to take my requirements into consideration at both ends. I am the customer, dammit.

For some reason today I'm finding it ridiculously long that I've been in LA. I pulled on a Lucy shirt, whose timing means Kat and Burrell in Brentwood to me, before I was swallowed up in krav (I stopped buying non-krav workout clothes then), and sherbert on Montana. It's so weird to think of how relatively late in life we met each other (thinking back to that article Matt linked to about the difficulty making friends after university) and how much change there's been time for since then. Unfortunately not for the better in my case, but wow, are our lives not the same.

Efferdent! I'll buy some next time I go out. That might take the stains off the old pitcher I got from my gramma, too.

Greetings from the Neil House o' Plague. Thank god Hubby and me both got flu shots, so this should stay as bad colds. It's snowing, I have hot tea, and I need to find Hubby's Social Security statement so I can do the taxes. Fun.

My teamaker responds decently well to steel wool and an intermittent vinegar brew, but Efferdent sounds like a better cleaner--the steel wool can't get all up in everywhere. I guess it's time to nut up and errand.

"I will feel so much better showered and outside dressed. I will feel so much better wearing a fandom t-shirt. I will feel so much better..."

$130 at Target this morning and they didn't even have the one thing I went in to buy. GODDAMNIT TARGET HOW DO YOU DO THIS.

Wow, such a particular time and place in my life, I know what you mean ita. I was going through so much shit at that time, what with my mom and dad and all that, and you guys were my saviors. Kept me sane and even happy.

Just one of the myriad reasons I jump down the throat of people who trivialise online interaction. I am so glad to have been able to be some sort of support for you, then and whenever else you need it.
