I am SO sorry that I haven't blogged for so long. This aughta calm the whining for a bit... Anywho, I think that I am one of the messyest (is that a word? I probably don't have to ask..) people on the face of the planet. We were alotted three Terminex work shirts at the start of the year, and they were all sparkly clean, wonderful, dandy. How many have I perminently stained? Three. Hmm. The first shirt is a complete mystery... I have no idea where all of the red blotches came from (salsa, maybe?? or maybe its just the red dot on my cashmier terminix shirt...) and they WILL NOT come out. I even bought one of those tide pens (that work wonders, I might add) and it still wont come out. The next victim was innocently draped upon my rippling shoulders and chest while I was eating the remnants of a go-gurt... you know when you are squeezing out the last delicious morsal and it slips up too fast? yeah, that happened. And it went all over my shirt. I cleaned it with this "fabric cleaner" called oxy magic, and it got it out just great. But by the time I got to my area to work the magic in the oxy had turned my shirt urine-yellow where it had been applied. It has faded a bit over time, but when it was first there it was THERE baby. I went to a bathroom to try and get it out, but alas, my vigorous attemt to clean it was useless. I ended up working the rest of the day with a large urine colored stain on my shirt. I had very little confidence selling. The last shirt was a big pen stain, but I actually think I got it out. Not too exciting. So I have one shirt left to wear, and I will wear it proud until the day it becomes one of the rejects.

Why can't bibs be in style?

That's funny, Zak. Here's what you do: Buy some Clorox Bleach and carefully pour on stains (on dry shirt). Let sit for 10 minutes or so. Wash in the hottest water possible with Tide. You may pass out from the fumes, but I'm telling you IT WORKS!! I am the bleach QUEEN. It will make your shirts more prone to holes, but that's gotta be better than being PeeMan for the day! haha
And by the way, you eat go-gurts?? THAT'S funny!
Have you ever eaten a go-gurt??? Its heaven in a plastic tube! It has to be frozen, of course.
You got that trait from mom. She can't go a day without a stain on her blouse. It is a curse. I hope the "slob gene" doesn't affect your selling ability.
Isn't straight Clorox only good on whites? Do you mean Clorox Bleach for colored clothes Mand? I guess a white stain is better than a urine stain.
Oh - like I'm the one with the "slob gene" - I could point out a few offenses by Mr. Perfect (in his eyes only) but I'll refrain.
They look like white shirts to me. Am I wrong?
That was weird - my comment posted on Paul's blog. As I said...
Sorry - the shirts are white.
NEVERMIND.
I got the slob gene too. Everyone in the fam is used to it and usually don't comment. But the YW think it's HILARIOUS. It's not. I use alot of bleach too.
Has anyone here used the Clorox Bleach Pen?? It's so awesome. I don't know how you can control a huge tub of clorox when you're pouring but the bleach pen is awesome. You just write one the stain and viola! Plus, it's a little less stinky and way less messy.
Yeah, I've used the pen. It is way less messy. I forgot about that. For some reason I still like the old-fashioned pour and pass-out method for huge stains. It just seems faster. I'm a dork.
All our clothes have stains on them. I need help from the bleach lady.
Stain hints from the QUEEN of slobber! The clorox pens are great but BAD on white knit shirts, they leave kind of a yellow stain behind. My most favorite stain remover stick I SWEAR by is the Spray and Wash stain stick. Not the spray, the solid stick. It looks like a round deoderant. Rub it in on any stain, leave it for 10 minutes or as long as a few days until you are ready to wash. If this doesn't get the stains out, nothing will. Seriously. I go through a stain stick a month.
I go through a stick of Head-On a month.
Zak, you ought to go to the Bib Barn for all your business bib needs.
Does Head On really work?
That's Paul's new favorite product to mock, for some reason. I think because the commercial just keeps repeating "Head-On. Apply directly to forehead." I wonder if it really does work.
Head-On, apply directly to the forehead. Repeat and repeat.
Zak! Where are you? Less than 2 weeks left brotha.
I have to laugh, Hillary went through a scary stage where she had headaches daily for almost 6 months. Wait, I'm not laughing at the headaches. It was the head on. Alicia bought her a product like that to try. I don't know if she ever used it. But one day I was getting cayden to sleep and it was on the dresser next to me and I was bored but didn't have a headache but I put some on anyway. I seriously got a bad headache after that. So all I can tell you is that is doesn't work if you don't have a headache.
Why can't Zak be less boring???
K - I wasn't going to say anything AGAIN, in case you get a special feeling when we beg for new posts. But I can stand it no longer. Your last freaking post was on JULY FREAKING 30TH!!! It has almost been a MONTH that I've wondered, hmm, I wonder what Zak's up to and then I have to stare at the SAME STUPID PAGE I've stared at for 25 days now and that is NOT ACCEPTABLE. I will be in Chicago in two days whereupon you had better be very scared, because the blows from my fists shall rain down upon your face and head and Tiffany will not protect you, oh no, this will be a righteous beatdown of holy fury because of your poor poor summer blogging skills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The time for forgiveness has passed.
Zak. I hate. Those shirts.
ZAK- I know you are busy with school and stuff but please,please take a minute to update. Those shirts are really annoying now.
ZAK LIES.
