I take mine home and give them to my mom who does the same thing.

Right now my peeve is stupid. the boy is in full on Cleaning mode. He is driving me nuts. He wants to clean the walls, but is upset that I don't have anything for him to use. I thought I had some 409, but I think it was taken to the garage and used on the motorhome.

How are you supposed to clean a flat screen monitor? I dusted it, but it has spots...
On the other side, he is helping me dust. I just want to veg and my allergies are killing me, but the dust is disappearing. He is old enough, and careful enough to be able to handle most of my collectibles. I just need to teach him how to put them back properly.

bucket of hotwater with TSP for painted walls & wash from top to bottom suprising how filthy they can get.

And as for monitors use IB alchohol and amonia together. or just the alchohol and a clean microfiber cloth staying away from the edges.

Gardeners who don't know the difference between "trim" and "hack". Gardners who don't clean up after they've hacked. Gardners who say they are going to do something on Monday last and show up today instead. Gardners who don't actually know anything about gardening. Gardners who have never seen a nice garden in their lives. Gardners who think Rosemary and Lavender should be trimmed into bald-looking orbs. Gardners who you have to pay extra to do major trimming because they haven't been doing trimming as part of the regular maintenance.

Maybe my expectations are too high?

By the way, climbing roses are supposed to climb and don't take nicely to be hacked with a chain saw.

People who operate spam fax lines that start calling residential phone lines every 7.5 minutes starting at 4:15 am should be charge with felonies. Multiple felonies. And forced to wear pink frilly dresses as their prison uniforms, regardless of gender. And be forced to eat only original flavor cream of wheat and listen to yoko ono's complete catalog of sounds on continual loop. For years.

That's a great idea.

But I don't have any--I think. The cabinet beneath the sink is deep and dark--no telling what's down there.

Please send the boy to Long Beach immediately. He is needed.

you can clean monitors with a light application on windex.
I will now sit back and wait to be corrected.

I do it that way, watch its not the right way.
