Hi Michael,

 ML> Never saw the point of fabric softeners and perfumed cleaners.
 ML> Clean is clean. Perfumed is perfumed - and in my mind is
 ML> associated less with clean than with unclean.
 RH> I'd much rather have the unperfumed stuff, but some people associate

 ML> That's because you have working smell buds.

At times, working too well.


 RH> "good" smells with cleanliness. There's probably some sort of

 ML> That was my point earlier.

 RH> unpleasant smell associated with some products that manufacturers
 RH> associate with uncleaniness and feel they have to add the perfumes to
 RH> cover it up. I'm glad tho that they also make an unscented version for

 ML> As I said, the glycol products, which are unscented, have an
 ML> odor that is quite agreeable to me.


I'll buy unscented over scented cleaning products any day. Too bad I
can't get an unscented amonia. (G)


 ML> Speaking of which, I wanted a pulled pork sandwich yesterday
 ML> lunchtime at this restaurant that had particularly weird rules.
 ML> It was 11:10 or so. The menu said "breakfast served until 11:30"
 ML> and also had a sandwich section without hours listed, a pizza
 ML> section that noted that these were available from 3:00 on, and
 ML> a dinner plate selection from 5:00. I discovered that in fact
 ML> the kitchen didn't offer sandwiches until 11:30, and the waitress,
 ML> otherwise affable enough, wouldn't put the order in until then,
 ML> and we were hungry now, not 20 minutes from now.

 ML> So Swisher, who had wanted a patty melt but got shot down, got
 ML> a half order of biscuits and gravy (for less than half the price
 ML> of the burger), and I asked for chicken-fried steak, which comes
 ML> with country gravy or brown gravy. Turns out brown gravy isn't
 ML> available until dinner, 5:00, with country gravy only until
 ML> 11:30. Apparently, you can't get it at all between 11:30 and 5,
 ML> during which interval maybe the chicken-fried steak machine has
 ML> to take its beauty rest. The country gravy was loaded with sage

Crazy--makes you wonder how the place keeps going, unless everybody else
who comes in plays stricktly by the rules.


 ML> and sausage meat - the same stuff on both dishes - as well as
 ML> copious dairy products. I congratulated myself on having a
 ML> pocketful of pills, as it was quite tasty and I ate mine all
 ML> the way down to the melamine (Swisher pooped out halfway through
 ML> his). Sad to say, and this is what makes this relevant, there
 ML> was a substantial delayed aftereffect that started about 6 hours
 ML> after the fact and continues until now, 22 hours later, having
 ML> intensified overnight. The current plan is to ask Swisher to
 ML> take me to a store where I can get a can of Febreze, and I will
 ML> then see if the Alaskans have better sense and fewer scents
 ML> than the folks down in the 48.

Hopefully by now you're doing better. Too cool up there to keep a window
open?


 RH> scented products. Some years ago when scent strips in magazines were
 RH> big, good Housekeeping offered a scent free version. I was able to
 RH> change my subscription to that one. Also, Steve knows that if
 RH> advertisments stuffed into the newspaper have perfume samples, the
 RH> whole ad flyer goes into the trash can, preferrably before I encounter
 RH> it.

 ML> I hate smelly magazines. For a while there was a compromise in
 ML> effect, whereby the samples were scratch-and-sniff. Even so, I
 ML> could smell the odious odorous things.

Same here, that's why I went for the unscented version.


 ML> 1 Tb best quality sherry vinegar
 RH> Not yet tried this one tho I've seen it/read about it.

 ML> One can generally substitute another fragrant vinegar.

I've got a good assortment on my pantry shelves; I think about half a
dozen or so various types.
