I hate cleaning the toilet just a bit less today.

I HATE cleaning the bathroom. I would rather do 12 loads of dishes and 12 loads of laundry rather than clean the bathroom. In my quest to find the easiest, fastest and least nasty way to get this job done I

Recently bought this:

Clorox Cleaning Wand Website

Love them! No more nasty scrub brush sitting next to the toilet. The cleaning soap is already inside the scrubber. Just pop it on, wipe a few times around all the spots inside the bowl and click the button to toss it in the garbage. TaDA!! Done!

 Today after cleaning my toilet bowl of course the next duty is to clean around the bowl, the edges, the base the floor and all those really sneaky parts around the back. It's a contortion job for me and with my arthritis knees it hurts to kneel down and reach around all while I having to put my face right down in the toilet area. Yuck. 

I looked at my new little gadget and thought, hmmmm, this isn't all that dirty after swishing around in the bowl for a minute or two and after flushing it with the clean water I should use this again before I throw it away. (thanks to my mom who instilled in me to always "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without")

Introducing my latest toilet cleaning trick>

This is what the cleaning wand looks like. It  is pre-loaded with blue cleaner in the middle. After it’s done it’s job cleaning the bowl it’s still not very dirty so give it a second job before tossing it.

You will need a small binder clip and a disposable cleaning cloth

Lay the cloth over the scrubber and push the binder clip over the edge

Now you have a two part cleaning device ready to go. You can layer two wipes if you have a dirtier than usual job.

          Now you can either mop with the wipe or use the scrubber too

          Save the Binder clip on the edge of the lid for next time.

Wishing you days filled with a bit less time cleaning the bathroom.

You are welcome!

Stop the h8 of religion.

It will do no good to appeal to the AAI group as this is the publicity they desired. Here is a copy of my letter I already sent:

Dear Sir,

I am writing to express my sincere disappointment at your company's willingness to post the seriously offensive material from the group "American Atheist Incorporated". These billboard ads were composed with the intention to provoke publicity for their cause through use of bigoted hate and the degradation of people of faith and the things they hold sacred in their lives. I understand the rights of this hateful group to express their views, but I feel that it is the duty of your company to not stand behind and allow this kind of hate being propagated. In profiting from these very insulting and hate filled billboard postings you have sullied your company name as it is posted freely attached to the bottom of these signs thereby giving the appearance that you approve of this material. As Americans we should all strive to rise above such base and hurtful behavior. Just as you would never allow a racist posting from the KKK or promotion of child pornography there are standards of tolerance in our country that all Americans should live up to. I and many others like me feel that this kind of hurtful language towards religious minded people should not be tolerated either.

I respectfully ask that you please consider the removal of these billboards. Please consider the multitudes of people who will have to endure the angst of viewing these on a daily basis, including I'm sure those of your own family, friends and co-workers. Please consider the harm you are inflicting on your company by dragging it's name down to the level of groups such as "American Atheist Incorporate" who feel the only way to accomplish their goals is through offensive material. 

Thank you for reading my message.
