Thank you, my FRiend.

I really do need to ask SheLion to send me her current ping list, I haven't updated mine in so long........

Over the course of the past few months I have been having a major problem with short term memory loss due to an insidious mold that keeps finding it's way inside the house. I thought we had it totally eradicated but over the course of the past week I've been noticing the symptoms again....memory loss, lethargy, loss of appetite, major mood swings. Bleach and Clorox Clean-up are my current best friends.

Something strange that I have noticed, is that the worst mold infestations that I found have all been in rooms of the house where no one smoked..........the bedrooms and the bathroom. We ran into a problem with the type of grout we used on the new tile floor we put in the bathroom and my husband has been spending a few hours working in there nearly every friday for the past month or so and has kept an ashtray in there because he will occassionally have a cigarette while working -- there has been absolutely no mold in there since.

Mold is tough,I hope you beat it down and feel better soon.

The cigarette smoking thing fascinates me.Have you tried smoking in one of the bedrooms with the door closed and see if it helps the mold problem?

When the antis see your post they will howl with delight,of course,saying"Even mold finds cigarette smoking disgusting!" and on and on and on.

...has kept an ashtray in there because he will occassionally have a cigarette while working -- there has been absolutely no mold in there since.

Why doesn't he just inhale mold & mildew killer straight out of the can?

You can't be seriously touting one of the "benefits" of smoking as killing mold. In general, things that are toxic to lower life forms are also not healthy for humans. Otherwise we might all be drinking Roundup cocktails.

I am so sorry you are still having this mold problem. For those of us who are bothered by it it is a TERRIBLE problem. Maybe you remember we sold our bay house, as is, because of toxic mold. I was made very sick by the mold, while my husband wasn't bothered by it at all, at least not in the small amount of time we would stay there. We decided to sell rather than remediate the mold.
