It's a very low-abrasive cleanser.  I haven't used it myself, but it's good for stains in the kitchen and stains on porcelain.

Quote from: OwlsG0
Another chapter in my illustrious history of breaking chairs. Some of you may remember the great Rocking Chair fiasco of '16 this summer, when the bottom fell out of a huge rocking chair and left me stuck in the middle, screaming for help into a house that only contained my half-deaf veteran Grandad. I survived, narrowly.

None of you will remember the time I sat in a seat at the cinema and promptly fell through the bottom of that one too because a tall friend hoisted me out immediately, so I did not deem it post-worthy.
I have one of those spinny office chairs for my desk. Last night I sat down and the whole thing crunched alarmingly. I am now sitting at a dramatic slant because one side is broken and trying to fall off while the other remains even.

What do you guys think? Is my butt a chair-jinx or am I just having bad luck?
Well that's a very extensive history of breaking chairs, definitely a chair-jinx. Sit with caution.

Update: went downtown today with the madre. Got stuck in another squishy chair. Needed to be hoisted out of squishy chair in high-end clothes retail store by two shaggy haired cashiers. At least only my mother saw it, but I'm really scared of chairs now. I'm going to just sit on the ground for a while.

Well the chairs are obviously out to get you.

On a side note to self: Do not forget to turn off twilight screen overlay when coloring stuff, or the resulting picture will have really hard flat colors on every screen but my own.  O_o

Well, that rather diminishes the chance of a Firefly sequel. Hard to believe he's gone, such a great character, and from what I've heard, great person too. :(

Well it looks like it's about to get worse for me. My cat suddenly got sick for the first time ever. He has been extremely lethargic, vomited foam twice, not eating, and drinking an excessive amount of water. From what I can tell it sounds like chronic renal failure. Now I'm deliberating with my mother whether to take him to the vet ER since the normal office isn't open today, or to wait until tomorrow. I'm a little afraid of what they'd do at the place we've never been, but I also don't want to wait until tomorrow.

On top of all that literally everyone I've ever known who has died did so on a holiday. Guess what's coming up soon?
