What if you could grow new bubbles?

Can confirm that denture tablets work to clean gunk out of stainless steel water bottles! No idea what the previous owner was drinking out of that, but wowzers.

Yes, this is about the level of braining I'm up for today. Well, that and debating a haircut.

That sounds like a household tip I might need to know. I bought denture tablets to clean something else so I could actually put that to use, too. I'm pretty good about only putting water in my water bottles, but my water is hard and sometimes, somehow, there is gunk.

I guess our People Dept has been getting a lot of "The CDC says we don't have to wear masks" emails because they just sent out basically "Cal-OSHA says we do - get vaccinated"

The Cincinnati Hoarding folks are coming tomorrow morning to get to work on the office and (I think) the basement. We're definitely having them clean out the basement, but I don't know if that's tomorrow or Thursday. I should do before-and-after photos, but I wouldn't show them to a single soul ever, so there's no point.

I have to keep the kitty in the bedroom tomorrow while the crew is here. It's 50-50 odds on whether the kitty will be delirious with excitement that he's allowed in the Forbidden Room or whether he'll hide under the bed because of all the unfamiliar loud noise. Maybe I can get him stoned on catnip.

Before and after is still a good plan Steph!! Just for personal use, not for internet sharing. And good to have if you ever start to doubt yourself about whether things warranted hiring someone?

A million years ago I read a short story that postulated that menopause and whatever the parallel male thing is are interrupted forms of a transformation like unto dissolving into goo within a cocoon and within the story some environmental change made it possible to complete that change. I think about that a lot. If Intelligent Design were a real thing, something like that would probably happen.

I bet it was one of Larry Niven's Known Space stories that featured Pak Protectors

Happy Belated Birthday, Vortex!

I whacked six inches off my hair the other day--well, on the sides and front. H finished up the back. He's getting quite good at relieving the broom-edge with snippy point cuts into the blunt edge. I am not ashamed to appear in public, and it feels so much better.

Congrats on the upcoming grand nibbling, EpicTangent!

Question - when you butter your toast, if you butter your toast, do you make sure every single crumb is covered, end to end, or do you throw butter in the general direction of the toast and figure some will land? Or does whether something else is then going on the toast figure in?

I'm an every single crumb needs to be covered person, and it somehow feels like a "kid" mentality. I'm not going to change my ways; it just occurred to me as I was buttering my toast this morning that I wanted to survey people.
