Urine @ MindSay 
Is it wrong that I was able to joke, "Nah, that's what 3 o'clock is for!" and Nathan (the ass't director of Special Ed) quipped, "3? That seems a little early ....". I actually kind of loved that moment...but it also kinda sucks realizing that my first minute to myself where I can do things like go to the bathroom USUALLY don't happen until 3pm...which is when the school day ends.
I think progress shall be made. I have good feelings about this.
Which is fine, and I love my long hair, but it does come with its own set of unique challenges. One of which is the tangles. I have exceptionally curly hair and it sticks together and tangles of its own accord. I use conditioners and leave-in detanglers, and, sure, they help; but they by no means solve the problem. At the end of every day I find myself standing in the bathroom, in front of the mirror fighting it out with the tangles while swishing with my mouthwash. (I've found that I am too impatient to use mouthwash as directed, I tend to swish and spit in the space of about ten seconds--but if I am busy brushing my hair, I'll swish for over a minute!) And, no lie, there are many a night that I end up spitting early because a particularly bad snarl caused me to lose my focus and give rise to the desire to spit and swear at said snarl.
This is all well and good, but you can imagine the kinship I feel with my hairbrush. Well, kinship is what I would feel, if I truly loved my hairbrush. I haven't found the "right" brush for me. I had, once, when I was a young girl. I had that brush forever (it was fuschia with a dark gray handle, white plastic bristles and turquoise tips on them) and it was getting kind of nasty. Hair so matted in there (and I pulled out the hair strands regularly!) that it was never coming out, was coated with dust from years of use. It was gross. But I was young and didn't care so much and I really loved that brush. One of my friends, can't remember who, though I suspect Kelly, suggested that I use a lighter and set fire to the hair and dust particles to clean it once and for all. Seemed like a good idea and we borrowed a lighter (I think--pretty sure this was pre-smoking days for me) from my parents and went out on the deck to do the job. It would have worked, except for the rancid smell of burning hair, that was eclipsed by the fact that the dust particles did not burn off. They caught fire. And before I could react, most of those plastic bristles with turquoise tips had melted into unusable lumps. Thus ended the affair with my favorite hairbrush.
My mother, I recall, immediately hustled me off to Target to replace said brush, but, alas, it was nowhere to be found (as is the case with anything you develop a fondness for that you purchased at Target). So I got a different brush and a long series of different brushes since that fateful day and I have never once loved one since. Some were fine, others, barely usable, but I keep searching.
A year or two back I bought a new brush, and I have really liked it. It isn't worthy of LOVE, but it is decent. But, as with most of the brushes I own, it is starting to get pretty disgusting. Which is why, last time I was as Wal-Mart, I ended up purchasing a new brush (after a loooong debate in the brush aisle...ask my mom, she was there!). I haven't had the new brush long enough to decide if I love it or hate it. It has some redeeming qualities, but much of the process is getting used to the feeling of a new brush on my scalp. Therefore, I am still deciding. And since I haven't made the decision, I have kept the old brush (did I mention that Target no longer carries that particular brush-bastards.) figuring I would just switch back if this didn't work out.
Until tonight.
Old brush is now forever consigned to the depths of "bye-bye brush", never to be used again. It is very unfortunate because now I have no idea what I will do if it turns out that I hate new brush.
What's that? You are wondering what caused me to get rid of old brush prematurely? Well, tonight, as I was getting ready for work, I was rushing as usual. I was nearly ready to go and stopped to briefly use the toilet. After I finished (pee only--that's important) I stood up and somehow, managed to catch the handle of old brush with my elbow or shirt or something. I am not really clear on the process. Then, it flipped up in the air, time slowed down, and I made a frantic grab for my brush. I missed. It fell, with a distinctive splash, into the not-yet-flushed toilet bowl.
Son. Of. A. Bitch.
I'm not kidding you, I was ready to cry. I stood there, looking at the brush and had a quick mental debate with myself. Then, and here comes the gross part, I reached in and pulled it out! I know, I am deranged. It is a sickness. I actually believed that a hairbrush-hairbrush!- was worthy of being saved from a toilet bowl full of urine. It wasn't like I had dropped my wedding ring or something in there...that I would understand fishing for.
I have to say it. "Eeew...Gross!"
Go ahead...you'll feel better. And now I have to figure out how to either live with new brush or dedicate some time to brush shopping. Cause old brush is truly a lost cause.
Live and learn, people. Live and Learn.
Barry Newhart: Hi there, Barry Newhart with Dan Dillon, ShopCleaningSupplies.com. We’re here to talk about a product called Triple Action. It’s a carpet spot reducer, spot eliminator. We’ll see if we can ask Dan some questions and maybe he can fill us in on exactly what Triple Action can do for you. So Dan, tell me something what is Triple Action?
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is a multi-enzyme spotter and odor eliminator. It is a well versed product that will go after protein based stains.
Barry Newhart: And this is for carpets? Do you do complete carpet cleaning with this or is it for spot removal?
Dan Dillon: It’s typically known as a spotter. Coffee spots, pet urine, vomit, feces, milk, red wine, it’s like magic cure for red wine.
Barry Newhart: If you can get that out of carpets it has to be good.
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is awesome. It’s a very important role in any professional carpet cleaner’s job. Even for home, I keep triple Action at home. I mean I have two kids and a dog and they’re always making messes and spilling stuff so I have triple action all the time.
Barry Newhart: So what is it that makes triple Action so good?
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is an enzyme that is continually regenerating itself with the bacteria strains that are in the chemical composition. When it’s released to feed on more bacteria the enzyme strains actually go after that bacteria and begin to digest it. So the soil acts as food for the enzymes that are in the product. So when you have the vomit or the urine or the feces or the red wine or anything like that when you unleash the enzymes they go right to work and start chomping on the protein or the bacteria that’s available for them to feed on.
Barry Newhart: Well that sounds great. Is there anything else triple action can do?
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is awesome for a bunch of different stuff. People will use it as a laundry pre spray, and a lot of food service people will use it for their linens. After special events they’ll pre spray them before they go to the laundry.
Barry Newhart: Oh, so this will work as a pre spray for laundry?
Dan Dillon: Absolutely, if you have kids you can pre spray the grass stains on their knees or the food that they spill on themselves. It’s also used for upholstery cleaning and car cleaning. Auto detail companies love the product. Because the enzymes go after the decomposing bacteria or the bad bacteria it’s also an odor eliminator. People that have odor problems in hotel rooms, cars or people that have smoke in their cars or bars and restaurants are always using Triple Action.
Barry Newhart: Very good. Well you answered most of my questions.
Dan Dillon: I’ll give you another benefit of Triple Action before you let me go. Triple Action also has another product in it called DuPont Zynal. DuPont Zynal is a carpet protector that is left behind and will make the carpet easier to clean the next time around. So it’s almost like putting on Scotch guard - for the most laymen person that understands what Scotch guard is. It’s like putting on Scotch guard, only better, to act as professional grade protection for the carpet fibers as a dye site blocker, so that the carpet can be cleaned easily the next time around. So in addition to cleaning, in addition carpet spotting, laundry pre-spraying, deodorizing, it also leaves behind a carpet protector so the carpet fibers can’t get soiled; if the carpet does get soiled, it will be cleaned easily next time around. Triple Action is offered in two different scents. It’s available in clean and fresh, the greenish bluish label, and also in cherry-almond scent, whichever you prefer. And of course, we offer the product in quart sized bottles and a gallon size bottles for the guys that consume quite a bit more. And that’s Triple Action for you.
Barry Newhart: So Triple Action should be able to take care of my rug spotting needs?
Dan Dillon: Absolutely, got to have Triple Action in your arsenal of cleaning products.
Barry Newhart: Alright, well I appreciate you answering my questions. If you have any more questions and would like to talk to Dan don’t hesitate to pick up the phone to call. He’ll be happy to talk to you, or any one of his trained staff would be happy to answer any of the questions that you might have. Give us a call and happy cleaning!

First, Do female cats spray like male cats spray. Yes Female cats spray just like the males do. Cat Spray is a combination of urine and pheromones that cats spray in order to send different messages. Cats Spray to show ownership, dominance, when scared, to mark there territory, and when there in heat.
You can usually tell when your cat is spraying when there tail is twitching back and forth, kinda like it's vibrating.
So how do you clean cat spray? I recommend Baking soda and Vinegar because they seem to neutralise the cat spray smell pretty much. Whatever you do don't use Ammonia to clean cat spray, as that will only make matters worse.
If you'd like to know more about cleaning cat spray and see a video of cats actually using a human toilet visit our main blog site: http://cat-spray.blogspot.com

Some days start weird and some evolve that way. Today was one of those. (see what I did there? I didn't tell you which kind it was did I?)
For years my doctor has told me to stop smoking, drink less, lose weight, take my blood pressure med's and get fit or I'd have a stroke or a heart attack. Well, it seems he's gone and had a heart attack. There is no justice ion the world. Here's a guy who saves lives for a living, works 18 hours a day, looks after himself and what's his just rewards? A heart attack. On the other hand, I help no one, do nothing of any real value and treat my body like someone else owns it and I'm as fit as a bull. Well, except that my BP is like 180/120 but, my point is there really is no justice.
So that was not the end of the weirdness today. I got out of my car and walked to the parking meter to pay, when this random guy leans out of the car next to me and hands me a ticket, that's still valid for an hour! Go me.
Then, I went to the credit union (MECU) to apply for an overdraft for the bar and instead of a wall of resistance, I was met with a swell of assistance and optimism. Not like the other banks at all.
Today was weird and wonderful, all at once. I have to pee in a jar - it's going to be strange, I haven't done that one before. Usually they just take a gallon of blood and tell me I'm fine. I'm not sure I can hand someone (a stranger to boot) a jar of my urine. It's . . . too intimate somehow.
weird.
