Aggy please don't bring your tantrums and abuse in here. I don't normally delete posts and prefer to leave them to show the world how sick and simple minded some people are.

This time I went against the norm though.

You demanded that I never post in the Tavern ... and I don't. I don't make ridiculous demands on a psychotic whim but I do wish you would show some restraint. Just occasionally would be good.

I used to use that method myself but I got lazy and now have a small watering can in the corner of the shower and rinse off the shower screen/walls before I get out.

Handy household tip

When The Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking.

Explain to them that you were once a JW but lost your fellowship.

There is a good chance they will run off screaming with their hands over their ears.

Then they may well avoid your house.

That's handy to know. I'm going to do that next time. I tried telling one lot that I worshipped Satan, they got a bit excited and wanted to "help" me. I got scared and shut the door.

Apparently if you lose your fellowship, the elders dont want any of the others talking to you in case you corrupt them.

This includes family members

sadly that is true.. IO knew a couple years ago who left the temple and their son remained and he wasnt allowed to eat with them either....its chronic they way these sects can dictate to people and ruin their lives...

so much for the faith..no thanks.

I treated my self to the window wiping gizmo thats advertised on TV....suds up then wipe with squeegee... it works and its great in the shower.. mines all glass and tiles.. and it does both....all with cheapo dishwashing liq..... I have two lots of glass sliding doors...and they are done in a flash with this thing..and no drying..I thought there would be a catch but there isnt..

I am won dering if you can help me.. you have all these amazing tips... I have washed and ironed my little grandsons shirts ready for his new school in a couple of weeks.. bright red with a white badge on the front.. well it isnt a badge its a stamp well thats what it looks like to me...I just brushed over it and have streaked it across the front like you do... and I cant move it....I will have to buy a new shirt for him...he is only 5 and I know he would be upset... I didnt do it to the other shirts.. its almost a paint like texture...not that rubbery stuff they put on pyjamas ...I hate these modern things...

The motifs they put on t-shirts now are second rate and you have to be careful when ironing them. Try putting a tea towel over it before you iron it. That's what I do.
