    I can’t watch your video at work. DAMN FILTERS.

    I am, however, devising a blog with my smug superiority showing. I just have to figure out what to be smug and superior about.

    What is happening? Is there a vimeo? Where is it? Can I speak to a supervisor? I’m pushing zero.

    Okay, maybe zero plus pound.

    Nope.

    Okay, I’ll hold.

    Shelly: Excellent.

    KK: It’s back up! Come back!

    Ken: You can use apple cider vinegar for a pretty complexion!

    Sugar scrubs are the way to go, Ken.

    That was VERY informative.

    Now, where can I buy the brown people who will use this baking soda to clean my kitchen?

    I make my brown person use vinegar to clean my floors. It makes the whole place small like a douche, but it’s better than smelling like dog so it’s good.

    Kiala, I found my brown person just wandering around in the desert. You might want to try there.

    Also, Target has them.

    I had no idea you were such a hippie.

    Note to self: Vinegar strips paint, so don’t use on the walls. I found that out the hard way when I was going all crazy on the baking soda and vinegar cleaning kick a month or so ago. Silly me. :-)

    KK: You are in California. That’s like ground zero for brown people who clean for money.

    Crissy: I think it makes the house smell like a salad, which is so very confusing. Is it clean, or food?

    Apollo: Oh I could tell you stories. Around a campfire. With a banjo.

    Bold: Good to know.

    I will follow this tip up with one of my own using baking soda and vinegar.

    You put some cocaine on a spoon, mix it with baking soda, add a drop of water, and cook it until it crystallizes. That’s how you turn cocaine into crack.

    After you have made your crack, if you prefer to inject it rather than smoke it, you can cook it down again with vinegar to make it injectable and it will fizz! No kidding! However, the vinegar is not so good for your veins. Using a ground-up vitamin C tablet mixed with water is not bad for your veins.

    Now I finally feel smug.

    Um….your challenge for today is not going to work. Remember? I don’t clean alot, and it’s Mr. P’s birthday and we are going to eat Chinese food. At a Chinese restaurant.

    But I love videos!!! Mr. Perfectly wanted me to tell you that we do make our own cleaner to be more frugal (frugal…and ME in the same sentence…hahahah). But it’s a chemical……ammonia, and water…..glass cleaner is ammonia, isopropyl alcohol and water.

    it’s CHEAP and works like a dream.

    I, too, love Comet.

    Stoogie: Yes, yes and then I will sell it to inner city children and I will make one million dollars! Mwahahaha

    Shelly: I’m afraid of ammonia. I’m only using things I can eat. Like comet.

    Oh, don’t be afraid of ammonia. It cleans ANYTHING. Okay, maybe that should make you a little afraid.

    Add hydrogen peroxide (not eatable. your stomach will dissolve) and it’s perfect for pet pee. No joke. My cats don’t pee on that spot anymore since i did it.

    I use this for drain cleaner, too. Throw the baking soda down there and pour vinegar on it!

    You can also add a plaster of paris mountain and red food coloring to make a volcano.
