OK. I didn’t get to the Friday Miscellany thing yesterday. My bad.
I was golfing in the afternoon – and dodging lightning – and had to work like the dickens to get some stuff done in the morning and over lunch so I didn’t get the chance to finish my Friday post! Gimme a break, will ya!!!!!

Chrysotile asbestos. It kills. It really does. Never mind those who vigorously state that if used correctly and properly monitored, it is perfectly safe.
If installed correct… and we are exporting this stuff to places who really don’t care a whole lot about health and safety requirements

Jeffrey Simpson called us the “Ugly Canadians”.
What shame. Not only do we have a reputation for overlooking the environmental impacts of the tar sands, rioting in the streets for no particular reason and have the worst record for greenhouse-gas emissions in the developed world, we refuse to ban the export of a substance that kills those who are most vulnerable.
And just for a few votes.
Shame on Harper. And shame on Jean Charest too.

Your dishwasher may be trying to kill you and yours!
The research, whose findings are published in a super-coolly named journal called Fungal Biology, showed that:
Kinda makes sense though, doesn’t it? Organic matter, warm temps, downtime to allow the bugs to thrive… perfect scenario, eh? But then again, this can be said for a number of surfaces in the kitchen.
So what to do? Some suggest to I put the dishwasher thru a cycle with a lot of white vinegar once a month using the topmost temperature setting. Plus, try to rinse as much food from the cutlery and dishes as possible in the sink BEFORE putting them in the dishwasher.

Choose one word from each of the columns below and add “thou” at the beginning. As in

See? Fun, eh?
