listen, I'm not one to watch oprah, and i hate that guy dr. phil she used to have on all the time, but seriously anyone who does that much good that consistently is anything but a …

This was on TV here this morning and radio today, said the bill for 276 cars was $4 million. 276 into 4m is 14492.75 (calculator says it's 14492.75362318841, but you show me 0.7536…

I can't abide her, her silly book club, sycophantic guests, audience, etc. The way people start crying after some supposedly heart-rendering moment. Yes, I am heartless.

The cars being given out are the new Pontiac G6, which is the replacement for the Grand Am series (being retired). The Oprah guests get to pick whatever G6, and accessories, they w…

Okay, it breaks down like this. I prefer to use a 3m yellow and green scrubbie to wash dishes. It has a fairly abrasive side for cleaning pots and pans, a gentle side for glasse…

Not scientific in the least, but I find the sponges get the dishes and pans cleaner. Although the sponge may be non-organic, bacteria could grow on any food left on it; a healthy s…

Brushes are more germ free.

Look for a sponge containing Microban or something similar. That is, if you've got money to throw away on trivial things like your health.

Nuke the sponge in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Bacteria hate that.

A Dishwasher perhaps?

bacterially, I don't see any advantage of sponge over cloth. We use one of those sponges with plastic scrubby on it, they're blue. Use em til they're not scrubby any more. If you…
