James, In this day and age people naturally point their cursors on links. If it is not a link I posted in my message it is a problem. Garden web, can post all of the links they want in messages they post themselves for all I care. I already pay a few fee's for the priviledge of posting in quality forums. This is not about free or fee. This is about my postings being altered to include information that I don't want in my posting. If I were to post a link here it would not appear in bold green with a double underline, it would appear in puke blue at the bottom of my message! This site needs members to survive, and if they think altering peoples postings for a quick dime is going to build their membership, then the people who run this site are plain stupid. When I post a message, it's my message, even if I post it here. If they add anything to my message, It's abuse plain and simple. You would think they could be smart enough to generate an income with integrity and respect for their membership. Maybe their not? sheesh

Firstly, jimsonburg please stop "spamming" on every post - it's truly annoying. As far as vinegar, I know I've posted these comments before but I'll reiterate ... IMO vinegar is not a great "all purpose" cleaner. I do use it for some things (ie. laundry rinse for some items, clean the fish bowl, clean some mineral deposits, etc Â). Low pH cleaners (acidic, like vinegar) can dissolve hard water and mineral deposits, but canÂt tackle dirt and grime. Many people have heard "use vinegar" so they do but they donÂt really understand the chemistry behind cleaning. Cleaning/laundry are really a lesson in chemistry. What will remove certain dirt/stains and suspend them in water so they can be removed completely. ItÂs really quite fascinating (to me anyway):) High pH cleaners (more alkaline, like harsher soaps) are good at dissolving dirt and grime. Warning: these will also eventually dull the finish of some floors (ie. hardwood). I like to use a neutral PH cleaner for all my floors. ThatÂs why I choose the Shaklee Basic H2. I have tried MANY cleaners for my tile floors (even vinegar at one time). They all left streaks. Basic H2 dries my floor with no streaks. I donÂt rinse or dry it. I do have/use the Shaklee Basic H2 in many ways. I have the 3 spray bottles for the different concentrate levels (to be honest I just love the graphics on them but you could use any spray bottle). I have one for glass/mirrors, one for all-purpose and one for degreasing. I also use it diluted in a pail for washing floors (best thing IÂve ever used  honestly). One bottle can last me 6 months (itÂs so concentrated). I sometimes add essential oils to my mixtures (ie. tea tree for floors and bathrooms as it has disinfecting properties, sometimes eucalyptus and/or lavender too). My cleaners smell amazing and have no nasty chemicals to breath in. Graywings makes some valid points regarding multi level marketing. Although I think that Shaklee is a great company  when you read about all their efforts to help improve the environment  itÂs better than a company like Clorox. I joined Shaklee purely to buy my own products for myself (without having to go to someone else). I have several friends who also love the products and I order for them. ThatÂs as far as my involvement goes but I do really like the products that I use. Here is a link that might be useful: Basic H2 spray bottles

We can often have so many problems on the internet. We all make our own statements, reply, then suddenly there are problems. Person "A" said something that I did not pay much attention to. Person "B" said something that I can really comment on. There is nothing wrong with my response to Person "B", but suddenly Person "A" who I have long forgotten about is as angry as can be. What I have said in my response to Person "B" has been considered an insult by Person "A". Everything is twisted and distorted, and a disagreement begins. If you stayed with my logic above, my solution has been to try to pay more attention to those who post even when those posts don't concern me, and then to mention names when I specifically respond. I also try to explain myself a little better to keep from accidentally flaming a person. One more thing is that I need to be very clear when I don't want criticism. Sometimes when I ask for suggestions, I only want suggestions for one thing. If I don't make that clear, I can get really offended if I think that someone is trying to tell me how to live or how to feel. Vickie, I doubt if you have ever been a troll. Trolls intend to be disruptive. What you have described is just an internet problem. Sammy

I've stayed in the Ritz Carlton, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, Sheridan, Holiday Inn Express, right down to Econo Lodge, Motel 6 and even worse. It depends on what's available where I'm going to be. I assure you, everything doesn't get washed every day everywhere you go, despite what they may claim. I've watched the housekeeping staff in just about every place I have gone and some do change the comforters, some places do not. Some have replaced the pillows, some have not. Most will if you ask them to and stand there waiting. I've never had a reason to go to Mass. and don't think I will. But if I do and decide to use Lysol, I guess I'll be do a fine. You know, there is probably a law somewhere that assures just about anything is against the law. That's what liability insurance is for. If someone wants to fine me for protecting my own health, let the lawyers fight it out. I've been approached about using Lysol before and when I insist on written documentation which assures the room is bacteria, germ and pollen free, I never hear from them again, just get looks, big deal. If you've watched various programs like 20/20 and others, you've seen the documentaries on how nasty even the best hotels are.
