Aug. 27th, 2008 01:40 pmYesterday, I moved something and found a puddle of maple syrup on the floor in the living room. How it got there, we have *no* idea, but it had been there for a while, as it was not very liquid. (I know for a fact that it wasn't Sam, 'cause she couldn't get to that area by herself, even if she had a thing for pouring sticky things on floors). I scraped up a bunch of it with a spatula, and while that went pretty easily, I had no idea how to get rid of the stickiness.
So, I Googled, and this page said that carbonation would cut the stickiness. I was dubious, but had a new bottle of club soda and decide to try it.
It not only worked, it worked *beautifully* and very quickly. In moments, I had nothing more to clean up but a puddle of wetness and a couple of small areas of goo I'd missed with the spatula. I am impressed and a little amazed.

Oh, I think I'm going to do this. Partially 'cause I have a remarkably strong dislike for Donald Wildmon, and partially 'cause it's funny.
But if you want to do a little something to tweak the noses of the Religious Right, the American Patriarchy Association has called for a letter writing campaign. It seems that Hallmark Greeting Cards are peddling a line of gay-friendly cards, which irks poor little Donald Wildmon something fierce. I don't know why. Maybe it's because they're cute, stylish, and witty, but at the same time he's afraid to mail a coming-out card to his Mom?
Anyway, Wildmon is asking his flock to send negative letters to Hallmark. How about taking a moment to send the very best to thank Hallmark for being non-discriminatory? Use the AFA's form, or email directly to Donald J. Hall.
Bonus action! Since poor Don is having a snit over being left out, maybe we can make it up to him. Next time you're in a store with the gay greeting cards, buy one! Make Hallmark happy by giving them a little money. Then the fun part: send it to Don! I'm sure he'll appreciate a coming-out card or gay wedding announcement. Do it even if you aren't gay or aren't getting married — it's the thought that counts, you know.
Here's his address:
Donald E Wildmon
AFA
PO Drawer 2440
107 Parkgate Drive
Tupelo, MS 38803
Just watch. With this outpouring of love and happiness, Don's heart will grow three sizes that day, and he'll realize that love is love and he doesn't have to dictate who may share their love, and that his love for his wife (or his dog or George W. Bush) is not diminished if two other people of the same sex care for each other.
Will it make any real difference? Nah. Though, Hallmark will sell a few more of the queer cards, which may encourage them to produce more of them. So, I'll downgrade my nah to a maybe.

The cold is still pretty light, but it's not very fun. Is okay though...I've got tea and tissues. Or, at least, I'll have tea once the water's heated. :)
