Dear Lord, if we put as much effort into other problems the world would be a better place beside smelling like a cheap whore.<br /><br />Lime: My mom-in-law has one of the new electrically powered air fresheners in every room of her house. She refuses to open a window and I sneeze my head off if I stay in her house too long.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-19123974339026847892009-04-24T10:30:00.000-04:002009-04-24T10:30:00.000-04:00wow, that certainly is a disturbing correlation is...wow, that certainly is a disturbing correlation isn't it?<br /><br />oh and to weigh in on the air freshener debate, i don't see the point. open windows indeed. febreeze is evil. and i am thrilled that this weekend i can finally hang my laundry outdoors.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-18293749192489137642009-04-23T21:47:00.000-04:002009-04-23T21:47:00.000-04:00I hang out my laundry, at least the big stuff. I ...I hang out my laundry, at least the big stuff. I never gave much thought to air fresheners but I will now. I have to agree with Randall on this post, but what you said Beach needed to be said. I do a lot of that at my place too....Kentucky Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753739401363847764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-63061740970834841462009-04-23T20:27:00.000-04:002009-04-23T20:27:00.000-04:00Truth be told I think we all need to get back to h...Truth be told I think we all need to get back to hanging laundry outside and letting it dry the natural way. I'd save a lot on my gas bill if I did that.<br /><br />I got DDT poisoning in LA in the very early 60's. Had to be hospitalized very briefly. I can't remember any treatment other than ointments and observation. But I was on one of the private beaches that had been sprayed to keep sand fleas down.<br /><br />I drink organic milk, but buy melons from Guatemala where they are spraying the pesticides that have been banned here. This is another of the fucked up things we do. Our better living through chemicals companies, just export those pesticides once banned here. Agent orange is a damn good chemical to get rid of things that grow but it kills people too. Remember it's use in Vietnam?<br /><br />As you can tell I could go on and on with this, but I need to go watch Keith. So you can say you've been saved by Olbermann.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-60474563270743229062009-04-23T19:17:00.000-04:002009-04-23T19:17:00.000-04:00My wife is personally supporting the air freshener...My wife is personally supporting the air freshener industry. She buys the newest gadget as soon as it hits the store shelves. I just don't know Randal, at heart I'm still white trailer trash because other than major stinks what we did was open the windows. Of course we didn't have a clothes dryer in my grandparents house until 1987. That absolutely freaks my wife and in-laws.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829836469690492751.post-46204140258192385122009-04-23T15:24:00.000-04:002009-04-23T15:24:00.000-04:00Your place can be as depressing as a visit to dcap...Your place can be as depressing as a visit to dcap's. And some of us aren't ever gonna hit six feet. ;-)<br /><br />I don't recall the exact amount, but the number of chemicals in the typical human of the industrialized West runs in the thousands, I believe. <br /><br />Air "fresheners," if not the worst, are far too common. Just open a window, people. And if it's winter, suck it up. Some people go overboard, and their homes smell like a stroll through the perfume section at a department store.<br /><br />Man, I'm hungry. I think I'm going to have some fruits and veggies with my pesticides.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.com
