  • Handheld cup…

    For those who do not have a cup nearby to rinse their mouth with water after brushing their teeth with fluoride toothpaste, use can use your hand! How?

    Cup your hands, forming a tight seal with your fingers. Turn on the faucet and allow some water to fill up your “palm”. Put your face close to the faucet while keeping you hand directly underneath the flow of water from the faucet.

    Now without moving your hand, place your lips/mouth to the pool of water you filled up in your hand. Create a suction as if you are trying to drinnk this water but without a straw. Try not to swallow if you have to spit out the chemicals from your mouth.

    You may wish to keep the flow of water to a minimum to save water. This technique is good when drinking from a nice waterfall or trickle of water from outdoors.

  • Leaking toilet…

    If you ever get a toilet that continues to flush softly, here is a simple solution.

    Open the toilet cover. Do not be afraid of the water or if the tank looks dirty. Just scrub it down with cleaners and a good pair of rubber gloves.

    Reach in and remove the flapper that covers the drainage from the tank. If you have that soft, black-colored flapper, you are in luck!

    Now take you flapper to a nearby sink. Make sure you use a good liquid detergent and a sponge for scrubbing down the slimy, film residue sticking on the it.

    After ringing the flapper thoroughly, replace it. Voila!

    Now test the toilet by flushing. If it sticks, rejoice! If the flapper doesn’t stick to the drainage after several attempts, buy a new flapper or call a plumber!

  • Rainy night in May…

    At around 10:45pm, I hear the rains falling upon the patio below, just outside the computer window from upstairs. I wonder what is really going on? And I just watered the plants with Paw watering my flowers off the side street this morning and afternoon, respectively!!! Rain is good for the plant life, a two dimensional status. Water is good, too for the reservoir and people, too!

  • Rumblings of tummy…

    For whatever reason, I was not hungry. As I drove home from this morning’s mass, I felt my tummy grumble, not the signal that “I’m hungry!” But rather, the upper surface layers of my skiin where DC’s zapper had severely injured my skin to a deep welt was moving in a rhythmic and rumbling way.

  • Reducing hammering rocks…

    At 4:15 this evening, the divorced nutter was hammering rocks.

    Earlier I was setting up my fax machine, a cute one by Sharp, and saw how a large, blue pyramid was shedding its small chips of resin on the floor and near the computer.

    I felt that this orgone device would best serve as an extra protection between the kook and us. So I placed it near the door of out shared fence. Hopefully it will push the suckers to move far away!

  • Fax machine works…

    After I cancelled my second phone line, I decided to move the fax machine and attach it to the main land line. I then read the operation manual and set up the home owner’s name and phone number .

    There were 3 purposes : first was to remove the fax machine from my bedroom into the computer room . that was to make my room much cleaner . second was to have a new phone in the computer room in case there is an incoming phone call . third was to remove the wireless phone from the computer room to mom’s bedroom .

    author’s note: this blog entry was entered using the speaker feature on my cellphone .

  • Testing phone…

    So I was just testing the phone and found out that the handset can be automatically answered upon picking up. I had a fax machine attached to the main land line and I was concerned that the other phones would not answer automatically .

  • People texting too much…

    So I am waiting on a wooden bench outdoors, near the lobby and while waiting for the twosome. Already I saw a guy in a suit, wearing a pink tie testing. Another gal was walking while texting.

    One day I will refuse to buy electronics. It created clutter in my closets and drawers. Now this cellphone is rending my into noodles, which I would cook for lunch today. It’s the dried blocks of ramen.

  • Wearing wrist brace…

    After working hard in the yard with the twosome for the past two weeks, my left wrist has been bothering me severely. I did not think much of the pain for the first week but when Maw has been wearing her left wrist brace, I took a hint and finally could not take the sensation of a buzzing, out of place feeling.

    The single, bony pain where the “ring” finger is located hurled so much that I had to keep squeezing the join into place with a decided “pop” back into place. I find that holding my hands clasped in front of my solar plexus is a comfortable position during standing at mass, for example.

    Besides my teeth guard to prevent me from grinding my teeth further into pegs, my nightly regime now includes the left wrist brqce. I no longer have the dull, limp and out of place feeling throughout the day.

    “Why not go see the doctor? Sure, I have been waiting for over a decade to get it repaired. But since GOTB and pals failed to help, I am stuck with cursing them everyday.

  • Greasy transportation…

    Today, we received the following doorknob notice from the City of San Jose (Capital of Silicon Valley). Here is what it says:

    NOTICE

    You may unintentionally be contributing to a backup of RAW SEWAGE IN YOUR HOME. While performing maintenance in your area, City crews noted the presence of grease in the sanitary (main) sewer that serves your neighborhood. Grease poured into a sink or flushed down a toilet hardens, greatly increasin the chances of blockages in the main.

    To reduce the possibility of a grease-related blockage, and a backup into your home, follow these measures to properly dispose of cooking grease:

    • Find a suitable container in which to store the used grease.
    • Carefully pour the used grease into the container.
    • Once the container is full, or the grease has solidified, throw it out with the remainder of your trash.

    Grease should not be poured down the drain.

    If you have further questions regarding grease, please contact the Departement of transportion* at

    (408) 277-4373.

    A. That’s what you get for using the water system as a means of disposal. The earth is supposed to take of the compost, not the sewers.
    B. That’s what you get for using those water saving toilets. In recent news, the San Francisco area had problems in the raw sewage smell because people used less water when flushing the toilet. Thusly, the sewers do NOT get flushed properly without enough water!!!
    C. That’s what you get for letting homo-sapiens cook tasty, greasy food stuff, such as burgers and pork skins!!! Do you think these businesses use phosphate to clean their dirty dishes? The restaurants in my area are mostly ASIANS. Therefore, ding those business for messing up your sewer system!

    Tip of the day: Get a nice bowl that has a smooth surface. Pour your damn grease into the bowl. Put the damn bowl into the FREEZER the night prior the pick up of trash the following day. Scrape off (or pop out) the frozen greasy stuff with a utensil and wipe your bowl clean with a paper towel. Place forzen greasy stuff into, say, your plastic sandwich bag or whatever and then toss bulky item into the garabage bin, not the recycling bin.

  • Texting too much…

    I’m finding the QuickPress shortcut application is better than Tweeter via Friends Stem because I could turn the phone horizontally, thus making each character larger for my BIG thumbs and therefore reduces the number of errors!

  • Empty cellphone…

    As expressed to Maw, I do not benefit from owning a cellphone. One, it is too expensive monthly. Two, NO ONE calls. The only useful activities is testing the boy for up to date information on our activities and feeding my addiction to microblogging.
