    I unclog the drain every two weeks, but thats because I live in house with four long-haired girls. I actually have to pull the clog out by hand (EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW) and then pour Liguid Plumber of Draino down and let it sit overnight. Gross...
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    hmm I may be pretty lucky then. My hair seems to clog quit near the top of the drain all Ihave to do is dig it out. I have a special pen I use. Why a pen you may ask? It was the closest object the first time I had to unclog.

    I use bleach. Just pour some in, then wait for a bit, then follow with water that's as hot as you can get it.

    On another note, my sister baked brownies last night - with NUTS!

    She knows that I HATE nuts in my brownies, and yet she still loaded them with the thing!
    Why, you may ask - 'So that you won't eat any, so you could stick to your diet', she says...
    Imagine my extreme frustration, having to go through the delicious scent of baking brownies wafting through the house, and not have a morsel to eat! Hmph!!!

    [it worked, and now I'm glad she DID put the nuts..that girl knows me!]

    I relate to that.
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    I want to bake brownies...but I don't trust the oven we have (tried to make muffins, they came out a disaster!!)

    tournesol that was awful! you know, whenever i try to go on a diet my mum starts cooking every yummy thing you can imagine and she also buys or makes sweets etc. i am sure she is doing it on purpose for she knows i will succumb into these sins!!! i hate her for doing that!!!!!!!!!!!!
    love is like a flower; it needs warmth and light as well as some space and care in order to grow. if you take care of it it grows and blossoms and you can taste its scent and touch its velvet surface and look at its bright colours. if you don't, it dies. and of course a flower has no meaning either if you don't give it to someone or have it growing next to another one. flowers are delicate. and so is love.

    Perhaps you have sensitive eyes? Sometimes those products' descriptions are just matter of writings in packages. I had Clinique mascara which said waterproof, but it totally is not

    sometimes Clinique products irritate me - they cost a lot and then they're not so great. Like the 3 step skin care set you can buy for like over $30 bucks? Lye soap works as well as that soap, the astringent BURNS my face and the lotion makes me break out. But my roommate in college swore by it. I do like the Clinique Bonuses though - you know where you buy a certain dollar amount of stuff and then you get a free make up bag and a lipstick usually, a brush set, a trial size cleanser or something. And there's usually some eyeshadow in shades that you will never ever wear. I have a collection of bonus eyeshadows upstairs

    In fact I have a lot of makeup that I don't really use, but it's there with hte rest of my make-up and I just root past it every morning while I'm getting ready...I can't bring myself to throw it away until I've had it at least 2 years or so.
