I suppose it would be just too obvious if you gave bags of fresh spinach to certain people. I am impressed with your guessing 'withe'. I had no idea what it was and looked it up. Now if you had given me a sentence perhaps. Like- "she wrapped the stack of kindling with willow withe" I could have come closer. It's a lovely, poetic word. Speaking of poetic topics- not- I had a success today. As you know, I have ripped out half my dining room carpet and poured gallons of Petsmart recommended friendly enzymes and bacteria on the cement in an attempt to eradicate the mephitic odor left by the neighbor's cat and all I achieved was a worse odor- like I've been running a clandestine animal kennel in my home and trying to keep it from the neighbors by spraying a lot of cheap lemon air freshener around. Then a nice man at Lowe's standing next to me while I was asking if I could put off the installation of our new carpet for a couple of months, said he had had success with just good old Chlorox, followed by a sealant like KILZ. So today I poured tons of Spring Fresh Chlorox on the cement and it WORKED. I can put my nose right up to it and not smell kittypiss. And there is the added benefit that the whole house smells as if I have scrubbed it, which is a handy little trick I intend to use frequently. Really, I am a happy woman.
