some random notes re the new place...

[derien]

--We have nipple-stingingly fabulous water pressure in the shower, and the temperature rarely varies at all. :) (The old place I had got used to taking very short showers because the water would go icey on me with only a moment's notice. I got very good at hearing that slight change in tone that meant it was about to go.)

--Apparently the only way to keep a glass-topped electric range looking good is to not cook on it. After the first real meal we cooked (curried beef, on Sunday) there are spots that won't come off with the specially formulated glass-topped stove cleaner wipes or with dish detergent. Though the dish detergent worked better.

--We have a passive-aggressive neighbor who won't move his car out of my spot.

--I just got to see the Federal Railway Administration Office of Safety engine come by!

Hob-Brite Review

My guess would be the US equivalent is Soft-scrub.

PS, did you (eor) ever receive my packet containing USB drive and B-day present?

Hugs!

Thanks! The Hob-Brite sounds as if it's a little more runny than Soft Scrub. Eor won't let me use Soft Scrub, he's afraid even that will scratch.

Yes, we got the package, and thank you! :) Eor thinks he mentioned in in a note in which he also included our new address and phone number...? He loves the map and is looking forward to getting it up on one of our new huge, blank walls, soon. Neither of us has had the time to look at the photos at all, what with him working 10 hour days and trying to get the new place settled, but he said he dreamed of walking through lamb fields last night. :)

ps - I'll try some of the vinegar mixes from the first site soon as I have time, and if that doesn't work I might just try to order some of the Hob-Brite, as it sounds worth it.
