Go to the pharmacy or a lumber yard and ask for some oxalic acid. It’s a controlled substance, but if you put a little in your wash and/or rinse loads, it will take out the dinginess.
I used it in my laundry in Olympia, Washington, as the water there was rusty. Never had any rust stains in my clothes like other people did.
Great kitteh!!
Good morning. Is the Tax-chick household back to normal today? Or some such condition that represents normal in your neck of the woods.
Good morning. The last load of wash is in the dryer. Things are peaceful at the moment. DP will leave around noon for a week in the DC area, and I will be whipping the troops into shape, school-wise.
The byos all got haircuts.
Any news on Inert’s Employment prospects?
Lots of places accept applications online. *hint-hint*
I’m sure when DP gets back, his expectations will be much better realized than yours were...
Inert has not heard when he’s to start work. I suggested he call them and see if there’s any information.
I would be calling. I mean, money is money and cash is GOOD! (So they say on Pass Time!)
It’s 76 degrees out with the humidity about 55%. It’s supposed to be cooler today and tomorrow. I hate to see it, in a way...soon I will be dragging out the winter clothes...
Today’s jigsaw on shockwave.com is a flamingo!
Good morning! Mr. Sg completed the leak repair around the kitchen sink and, as an added bonus, installed tiles on the countertop (we had a bunch left over from when we laid the floor tile). Now I don't want to use it and mess it up. You don't realize how much time you spend at the kitchen counters and sink until you can't access them. I have to wait until tomorrow to seal the grout.

Why do they tell people not to drink the rain water? I vaguely remember something about “acid rain”. We collect the water from the dehumidifiers and use it in the garden and on outside washing jobs.
Sweet dreams! I’ll just think about the beetroots....
Our catz aren’t much for going into cabinets, although Jake gets in the pantry where the cat food is.
No problem. Just request the presence of T-c and her immersion blender and the offending veggies will be reduced to quivering puddles of pulsating puree.
Absolutely. Vegetables don’t stand a chance when I’m around!
Cute.
Yes. I almost bought it.
You crack me up! I visualize you in the Superwoman costume on a mountain peak, brandishing your immersion blender like a Jedi lightsabre or whatever you call them, your cape and coiff blowing in the wind....
Generally, it's because the rain water is collected from roofs and gutters, which are not entirely clean. They aren't "dirt", but they're dirty. Stupid birds, anyway.
If treated to sterilize, it's perfectly fine. But one uses the rain water as a type of naturally provided distilled water, useful for batteries, hair-washing, clothes washing, and garden irrigation.
It's not metered, so use as much as you like.
Now from cafepress?
