the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I have to say, the method of cleaning your microwave by heating up water and letting it sit is nigh on miraculous.

Right? It works like some spooky magic. It took our microwave from Seriously This Should Be Nuked From Orbit and turned it into a regular nonscary microwave.

Nuking vinegar or lemon juice in the water also works wonders.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I like nuking half a lemon. After you let it sit you can use the lemon itself to scrub any stubborn bits.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And if you sprinkle coarse salt on the area and then scrub with half a lemon? Magic. This is how I scrub my wooden cutting boards.

Hi. I'm ignorant about this method and would love to hear more about it.

Shir. You just put whatever liquid you're using in a bowl in the microwave and microwave it for a few minutes. And then wipe down the steamy microwave which becomes magically clean. Just be careful not to burn yourself.

My sitter just gave notice because she got a fancy promotion at her other job. I knew this was a possibility but ugh. ltc is going to be so upset.

Thanks!

And ugh, sorry about the sitter.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Looks like I will have a foster coming in the next day or so. I don't think a pure Boston, some mix. I'm not linking to pictures because she looks pretty bad and I know that can be hard to see. She is estimated 6 months old and was found dumped on a road in Louisiana with a very bad skin issue, possibly mange over at least half her body. Her name is Glenda, but I'm sure when I meet her a different name will be given.

msbelle, you are such a good human friend to the doggos.

You guys, I have a big article to edit about the incidence of thyroid cancer after the Fukushima nuclear accident, and it is really, really making me miss Ginger.
