| It's a Dirty Job In my ever quest for a solution to a clean house, I picked up a book at the library today called Real Simple: Cleaning. I always say that my house could qualify for a Mike Rowe Experience, but I thought I'd give this book a shot before I called him in.
Disappointedly, it offered no magical solution other than you must still actually clean house....darn it, I knew it would end that way! It basically rehashed solutions that I had heard a hundred times, but a couple I did find interesting.
I've always heard use denture cleaner tablets in the toilet to clean it, but the book suggested Antiacids. I am assuming they meant the Tums kind. Drop two antiacid tablets in the bowl and leave for 20 minutes. Like in your stomach, it will clear away the acid (didn't realize my toilet bowl had a stomach problem) and then you can just swipe and flush it away. Worth a try.
The second idea was to download some tunes to help you get the job done. I'm always up for themed music, so here are their suggestions for a compilation:
Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
Clean - Depeche Mode
Come Clean - Hilary Duff
Drops from the Faucet - Nanci Griffith
In the Bath - Edie Brickell
Into the Groove - Madonna
Scrub a Dub - Eric Hansen
Shine On - Ryan Cabrera
Suds in the Bucket - Sara Evans
Talk Dirty To Me - Poison
The Dirty Boogie - Brian Setzer Orchestra
Tiny Bubbles - Don Ho
Wash, Mama, Wash - Dr. John
Wipe Out - Surfaris
I thought of another one to add to the list ........Nasty Girl - Nitty
My quest continues.

| George Carlin 1937-2008 "Due to this country's fear of death, I won't have to die........I'll pass away!"
George Carlin passed away yesterday. The first memories I have of him was as a kid I would sit up late at night (always the night owl) and watch him make his many appearances on The Tonight Show. He had my type of humor. Something that made you think. The everyday things that he brought to life. His routines stuck with you for years after hearing them...and are still funny today!
He was a thinking man's comic. I'm sure most of our comics today learned a thing or two from him. Or, at least if they took a few lessons from the school of Carlin it would be a much more funny world.
I leave you with a wish from George......." May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." Rest in peace, George.

| My New RideOk....so it's not a new car, but a used Altima, but after having driven "Old Bessy" for so long, anything that has all parts working and intact, seems like a brand new car. Wow! Dashboard lights! I can see how fast I'm going! LOL. All 4 hubcabs! Clean inside! Woohoo! Yes, I'm happy with the small things.
I was able to get it for a reasonable price so no monthly payment. Makes it all the more fun to drive.
