Scrubbing Bubbles
Well, folks, I finally got around to finishing the house cleaning that was suspended when The Donald arrived last week. Even thought he left on Sunday, it took until today for the cleaning momentum to build back up.
Now that I'm an experienced housekeeper I don't mind it so much ... except for the bathtubs. There's nothing associated with tub cleaning that my back likes. I've often thought that someone could make a killing if they invented an automatic bathtub cleaning robot. You know, kinda like the vacuum cleaner that you turn on and it runs around the room vacuuming the floors while you hold down the couch.
But, alas, I've not found such a machine.
So, today I leave my bathtub to the very end to clean and I get to thinking about that tub robot. So I sez to me, "Why don't you be the robot and clean the tub while you are taking a shower?" Sounded logical to me.
So I did. Just me nekkid as a jaybird with a can of Scrubbing Bubbles in the bathtub.
The good news is that it worked like a charm.
The bad news is that they should put a warning on the label that sez something like "Cleaning the bathtub while taking a shower can be hazardous to your health, especially the delicate skin on your privates."
Sure hope the blisters heal real soon because I don't want to go to a dermatologist and try to explain why I have them on parts of the body that they don't usually even bother to inspect.
"We don't usually see blister in these areas. How did you say you got them, Mr. Lineback?"
"Cleaning the bathtub."
"Yeah, right!"
Smirk.

I had an emergency plmubing situation on a Sunday night at 7:45 pm. Called Tom at Sav-on Plumbing. He was very polite on the phone. Told me he would be there in 45 minutes. He showed up forty minutes later. Worked on the problem, hit a snag, put on a temporary fix to insure we had a functioning shower. Told me he would be back with a permanent part a week later. He called the night before, showed up and replaced the part permanently.Works great. I strongly recommend calling Tom the Plumber at Sav-on Plumbing. A man of his word, a very rare thing in today's world. Also, he did not small talk with us, just worked on the problem, informing us along the way of progress.
