I don't know why I have to justify my actions, but I guess I'm just insecure

[neurosis]

Recently, the question that I dread the most when meeting people I don't socialise with on a daily basis is: So what are you doing now?I hate that question. I'd probably have no problems with it if I were doing something really meaningful with my life like volunteering to be a nurse somewhere with no Internet (and meet some cute doctor/soldier and

1) Don't bother trying to prevent the mold. Just change it. You can never get rid of it entirely.

2) I've used boiling water on the stains first, let it set, drip some dishwashing detergent, let it set, and scrubbed the motherfucker with knife (butter knifes help reach the bends easier). I think you can try maybe lemon or some baking soda? Ok i just made the last 2 up. But i would try those if the first method doesn't work.

3) You could keep... a cat? or a dog.i've never known of any effective lizard control.. but you know, i've killed one too many while opening the piano. First you lure it with something.. mmm.. a mosquito or something. Then when it gets on top of the keyboard cover, you must *WHAM* really fast you know! cos you know how fast these fuckers are..

:D

aw man, i'm ready i'm ready!

Okay, the most effective method of lizard control, as far as I know, is to keep a cat. preferably one that used to be a stray because some pedigreed ones have lost their instincts. Maybe it's the inbreeding?

They do have specialised shower curtain cleaners in the market, but generally, spreading the curtain out to dry and making sure the bathroom is well-ventilated does the trick for me. Leave your door and windows open as wide as you can.

Believe me, a kid would drai your resources faster than you can believe. But meanwhile, enjoy your current situation. Many people would envy you indeed.

I always felt that I had to justify my situation, when I wasn't working. Then one day, I just got too freaking tired of spitting out polite and meaningful excuses, and I just blurted "All my life I wanted to be a tai-tai without husband, so yeah, I'm living it up. Quick, envy me!". And when I felt a tad more audacious, I would say "I've finally found a way to live off my parents, so I'm milking it for all it's worth!" Naturally I only say these to noisy pokes who aren't even in my phone-list, and people who are just plain annoying. I think if you say anything with and indignant attitude, they'll just go away, or they'll just feel freaking stupid, for asking you those nosey questions.

1. How do you prevent your shower curtain from getting moldy?
Spreading it out is good, but you'll also need to make sure that your bathroom is super well-ventilated. When you spot the first sign of mildew growing on the shower curtain, you can take it down and soak it in bleach. I like the Kao Wide-Bleach for Color Linen (the one in YELLOW bottle. It

ooo oil stains! I use concentrated JIF + scrub (the wash plate kind)
dunno if they still sell those. I haven't cleaned a stove in years!

[neurosis]

Got. Now it's called CIF! Haha.

[mynthe]

heh Maud used a lil alcohol in her bleach for those oil stains, but then again she cleans after every time she cooks, you know how she is.

come clean my house! :D

[neurosis]

Yah! What is that spray thing she used? Quite effective leh.
