Grant Funny - The Inspector

Grant is staying with Grandma for a few days, cause he doesn't like our Nanny. So he is playing "camp" with Grandma while Nanny finishes out her last days with us, cause we gave her the boot. And by "Boot" I mean our passive aggressive way of firing her by telling her I am gonna work from home.

Today at Grandma's she is in the final stages of her reverse mortgage deal and has Inspector Man coming out to check out her abode. This reverse mortgage thingy has been the top subject around those parts for a bit . Grandma has been feverishly tiding up all weekend to make the place just right and has been sweeping away lil'piles of termite dust and such.


In comes the Grant funny of the day...


Grandma: So how are we doing?

Inspector Man: I think we are all about done here. I don't think there is anything I have left off.

Grandma: Oh great, well thank you so much...

Grant: BUT...wait! What about the TERMITES?

(Grandma gives a harsh stern look and mouths SSSSSHHHHHHHH!)

Grant: But Grandma I though you said he was gonna find the TERMITES!


Thanks Grandma for taking care of Grant again this week, your the best!!!!!!

Safe Bath- Vitamin C Bath Salts

I purchased these Vita Sea Salt Vitamin C Dechlorinating Bath crystals from Vitamin Shower Filter USA a few months ago , and now I am due to buy more. I had to investigate all my options further so it was illumination time.

Here is a list of the most common dechlorination options:

KDF-Kinetic Degradation Fluxion, this is a true filter that is a combination of zinc and copper. The water temp needs to reach above 84º F to activate this filter. My only worry is that you can be adding both copper and zinc to the bath.

AC-Activated carbon filters should only be used with cold water as the hot water can break down the carbon very easily.

Vitamin C- Although it is not a true "filter" it is more of an additive that binds with the chlorine and neutralizes both free chlorine & chloramines instantly upon contact though simple chemistry.

I read a bunch of different articles, and specs on products and this article had some good points. I mean as far as all the "bads" of KDF and AC I would take all that with a grain of salt (hee hee ha ha) I mean as far as I am concerned the more simple and natural the better. So after all that I bought us bathers in my house another tub. It lasts a LONG time and we bath everyday so that says something....

Home Remedies - Meat Tenderizer

So I got stung on the palm of my hand this weekend by a freakin' bee. This was the 3rd time in my life I have been stung, no biggie I guess, but it HURT so damn bad, I mean sweet geezus!

I was scooping up the left over fruit loops off of Maxten's highchair tray and I guess the little bugger ( the bee) was not finished yet. Max had already abandoned ship earlier and left the loops for his friends. So I scraped the stinger out with my fingernail, remember not to pinch it, it must be scraped! Otherwise you are just squeezing all the venom out of the stinger right into you. Then I hurried to the the spice rack to find the meat tenderizer.

Just a FYI, if you didn't know already this REALLY WORKS!!!! I mean I heard it worked, thanks mom, and I used it on Grant when his baby toe got stung but since it happened to me I can vouch for it , this worked like a charm.

I just made a simple paste from the unseasoned meat tenderizer and a couple drops of water and applied, I swear the pain stopped instantly! You should keep it on the area for 30 minutes to get the full effect, I didn't cause it feel better fast.

This is a must have for home, and I am gonna keep one in the car too for when I plan to get stung when I am away from the abode.

Really, no problem, You welcome ;)
