1. Those brilliant ESIs have put the most clever widget on their site!
2. Did you know that if your sink is clogged, you don’t need to go buy expensive toxic crap to unclog it? Just stuff the drain full of baking soda, then pour vinegar in. It foams and bubbles and instantly fixes your sink.
3. I had a dream that the provincial election worked like a leadership race, and Ottawa Centre was down to just two candidates: Trina Morisette (PC) and Danny Moran (The Family Guy). My candidate had been eliminated. Somehow I ended up with 90 votes to donate to Trina or Danny, and I gave them all to Danny.
4. Remember Rachael whose favourite cat Digit went missing for four months but then he made his way back home practically dead, but after much surgery he survived? Well, Rachael has written a romance novel, full of yarn and alpacas and sheep and hot knitter-on-shepherd action. She has entered it into a contest, and she really truly wants to win the prize, which is that someone from Simon and Schuster will read her manuscript. We can help Rachael win! Details are here.
5. Happy Thanksgiving!
The baking soda/vinegar thing works best if you do it regularly. You can also bring the vinegar to a boil before pouring, which will help if there’s a lot of grease in the drain. Don’t put your head right over it to see what happens. You do put baking soda in the fridge, don’t you?
Happy Thanksgiving!
