A few months ago, I broke down and bought a bottle of Downy Wrinkle Releaser on a friend’s recommendation. And, I have to admit that it’s my favorite product of the year. (I know, Josh would kill me for not saying the G5 or the super-dooper iPod). The reason that I love it is that it has allowed me to discover the rest of my wardrobe. The clothing that I got (not realizing that it wrinkles easily) or was given as a gift. The stuff I never ever wore because it would require the effort of ironing…something I’m only willing to do on very very special occasions. Anyhoo, this stuff rules. I just spray and tug, then put on my freshly scented wrinkle free clothing.
It has worked well for Josh also. Previously, all of his clothing was wrinkly and he was oblivious to it. I’d be chasing him around trying to get him to put his shirt back in the dryer with a damp cloth (my previous attempt to not iron). Now, he looks neat and wrinkle free.
So, anyway, it’s a stupid thing and really shows my laziness. But, I have found it and I love it.
I am also thankful for these random products:
Plant Shine Spray (It makes my dying plants look somewhat alive)
Those stick-on odor reducing things that I stick inside of my trash can
The little tablets that turn your toilet water blue
Hershey’s Magic Shell
Compressed graphite sticks
Those velcro thingies that help you to organize mass tangles of power cords

Oh! Don’t forget chewable Vitamin C tablets!!!!
Dude, you are SO addicted.
Mmmm. But if they’re not Flintstones, I don’t want ‘em. I love canabilizing cartoon characters: it’s a bad habit of mine.
Three cheers for the inanimate carbon rod!
Hip, hip, hooray!

You guys introduced me to “Bacon Made Easy” or whatever it’s called. I picked one up at Target and now it is so easy to satisfy my salt cravings. Also, I think front suspension for bike is really cool. One can go over a curb hardly feeling. Also, I like having an extension sucker to my vaccuum. It has helped me control my box elder/ asian beetle problem ( and I’m not talking about Yoko Ono).
I hate the blue water toilet thingies. My roommate is obsessed with the things, and I guess I just don’t understand the attraction. The toilet still gets dirty, you still hafta clean it, and for some reason he thinks it gives him license to let certain yellow things mellow. Its just a raw deal all around.
Speaking of urinal cakes (okay, we weren’t actually speaking of them, but they’re related), they’re generally very nice and keep the little boys’ room from smelling like pee-pee. But in the basement of the philosophy building here, they put them in those gravy-bowl shaped urinals that stick out of the wall. Now, when you flush, the cake blocks the flow, so the nasty water doesn’t go down. So while the cakes were supposed to keep the bowls sanitary and nice-smelling, instead they keep the grossness right there.

I personally like the blue toilet water thingies. Mostly because they contain a form of bleach that allows your toilet bowl to stay cleaner, longer. (That means less cleaning on my part). It also colors the water which hides any random stains or “yuck” spots for when guests come over. Plus, blue is just more fun than clear. My mom used to go to a special store that had different colors of toilet water tabs so she could get burgandy to match her towels. I thought that was just going too far.
Oh, and ewwwwwwwwwwww, stinky boy pee cakes. When I was little, I went into a boys bathroom at a camp (my brother was a counselor and was in charge of cleaning it…I was helping). I had never seen the urinal cakes before and I asked him what they were. He told me that they were salt licks. I said, “Who would want to lick those?” And he responded, “That’s something I think we all would like to know…but come back in a few days and you will see that they have gotten smaller.” I was so disturbed.
Your brother’s freaking hilarious!!!
