Re: Re:Staining/screaming... :) ...and vinegar/pseudos...!

[Guest guest]

Wow, again that's good info to know about the vinegar. Who would've guessed? But then again, vinegar's acidic, right? (or wrong?) Which could explain why the bugs like it. But that doesn't explain why so many people tout vinegar as a cureall. Or could it be the kind of acidic which converts to alkaline once it's in the system, like so many fruits do? So much to keep straight. penny kdrbrill <kdrbrill@...> wrote: Thanks for your input on

staining...very interesting Tony.I understand too the need to be heard, and why you "scream" at times. I capitilize words for emphasis at times -- so I'll be heard. So I understand...But...I have to tell you, that one of the reasons I stopped coming by a year ago or so, is that there was too much screaming going on. It became tiring...Sometimes, you know the old cliche, you can attract more flies with honey than vinegar. Of course you can attract more fungal infections as well.Thanks Tony,Danp.s.
