November #2 bleaches are not all the same

I recently learned something about different types of bleach. 

I’ve always used bleach when I do white laundry - to whiten it and to kill germs.  

And during Covid, I think lots of people use bleach who didn’t before.  

There are  2 kinds of bleach- brand doesn’t matter.  

One is just regular bleach and one is called no-splash or dripless.  That’s not the only difference.  

The plain bleach kills 99.9% of germs 

While the dripless kind just whitens, brightens and deodorizes.  

So if you’ve bought bleach to fight germs,  you might want to check and see if you have germ killing formula. 

It doesn’t matter what brand - the no splash kind for any brand is not a germ killer while the original formula does kill germs.  

I know lots of people never use bleach and prefer natural or less harsh cleaners.  

But I like to kill germs and will watch my bleach labels from now on.  

November #1 hello

Hello everyone.  Yes,  I’m still here and still busy with our home interior changes.  I can’t say they have gone smooth as silk but it is all starting to come together and we are very happy with the results.  

And I’ll show things when it’s done.  

October 31 is not my favorite today but children sure like it, especially for the candy.  

I made these treats for my grandchildren- 

Latex Gloves that are so 2020 were  filled with candy and little toys I bought last year on clearance for .09 a bag.  

We do have 8 grandchildren and their gloves were already mailed to them when I took this photo.  

I didn’t feel  comfortable being face to face with the trick or treaters last night so I set up this little table, blocking the front door. 

I put a sign on it that said "take 1 each.  Happy Candy Day”

Then I watched at the window and refilled as needed.  

The children all took 1 and our dog wasn’t crazy all evening with the doorbell ringing.  

This worked out great.  

We only had about 40 children come by and past year’s, we have had many more.   But everything is different, right?  

Last week there was an ice storm in Oklahoma.  Most all the trees still had their leaves so the ice made them especially heavy.  Many broke or fell and much of the state lost  power.  

Thankfully our power was only off 8 hours or so.   

We have a gas fireplace that kept us cozy. 

And we don’t have any limbs to clean up because we don’t have any trees in our yard-  we have lots of plants but no trees.  

There is a beautiful home behind these damaged trees.  It’s near my parents home and the way all the limbs are broken and hanging down, the house can hardly be seen now.  

That’s what most trees around our area look like after the ice.  

Happy November everyone
