GISHWHES The Scaveger Hunt That Has Me Acting A Bit Nutty
I don’t believe I will surprise anyone when I say I am not known for my frivolity. It isn’t that I can’t appreciate or tell a joke, but I am also known to be a pretty serious person to the general public. So there is a great deal of confusion going on for people who […]

Instead of reporting the rape, other young people created video joking about the rape, tweeted about it, and even posted pictures of two teenage boys holding […]
My last (I think) moving stuff review – removing stains from stainless steel
So, here is my last piece of moving/cleaning advice for you. You know those horrible rust stains you sometimes get in a stainless steel sink? I get them because I have a tendency to let my cast iron fry pan sit in my sink for too long. I looked at these stains in horror wondering […]
Need to get a juice stain out of carpet? Here’s how.
Continuing on with my moving theme, I would like to tell you how you can actually remove juice (and I imagine wine) stains from carpet. Even if the stain is set in. I have a couple of juice stains on my carpet in my old townhome. You would think my problem would be pet stains, […]
