LOL What made it SO funny was Jeff Foxworthy. I had to move my truck so the snake guy could come into the house and when I started my truck, Jeff was on the radio and his monologue was "It is AMAZING what mom's will clean up aint it? The toilet is spraying brown muck 6 feet in the air, the family runs out side and there's mom, swinging a mop and singing "Im singing in the rain......."

~KK in BC~ still giggling at the coincidence

Well, now you have a clean basement floor, it's just not done in the timeframe you were thinking about, right? You're right, good thing the UFO was the soak-up cloth and not a close-to-my-heart quilt!

Follow Mz Flutterby's advice > and not because I wanted to or had planned on it.

Ack! Talk about some nastiness.....

*comfort*

Yup. Nasty. That's a good word.... LOL But I am enjoying how clean my floor is once again :) I don't usually bleach it but it sure does look all pretty and shiny again! (gotta look @ the good stuff now) and I did learn a valuable lesson... DO NOT LEAVE UFOs ON THE FLOOR no matter HOW good your intentions were! When you are done playing, put your toys away!!!
