sorry bro...she's not really much of a talker.. maybe people like you are why.

i come here a lot to learn stuff, which i have. for once there is something i feel i have semi-productive input on. sorry its not for something that impresses you more. :\
In McL's defense(not much of one:)), I started to post a reply about your posts (not that he has many more ppd) that were useful and not the mundane. Quality vs. quantity.

:ninja:Don't look at my count vs time:ninja:

So stay and play. IRL, we're mostly less than our OT superhero selves.

Only if it's Balsamic

Don't think Balsamic would be very useful for the applications mentioned here.

...considering that 99% of the "balsamic" that people purchase in stores is actually red wine vinegar, I would agree with you on that.

It's also highly illegal and requires federal forms to be signed and notarized in triplicate, approved by the FBVE: the Federal Bureau of Vinegar Enforcement, before you can purchase as much as 1 pint.

I think I can see a valid reason to restrict Vinegar and have consent forms signed.

Tainted vinegar suspected in 11 deaths in China



Vinegar tainted with antifreeze is suspected of killing 11 people and sickening 120 after a communal Ramadan meal in China's far western region of Xinjiang.

Investigators suspect the victims consumed vinegar that was put in two plastic barrels that had previously been used to store toxic antifreeze, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Monday.

also baking soda + boiling water in old teapots and coffee pots will make them look as new in a few minutes

Welcome to the vinegar lovers club. I get white vinegar exclusively for cleaning (for consumption, I get wine vinegars, and Bragg's ACV--stock up when it goes on sale). The HDPE containers most of it comes in are fine for just about any food or chemical storage, as well.

For cases where you need serious cleaning, though, get one of the not-owned-by-megacorps brands on orange cleaner, and only get it concentrated (Orange Plus and Orange TKO are what I've used, but there are others just as good, I'm sure). A bottle will last a few years, and work magic. The likes of Orange Clean and Orange Glo have long since sold their souls, and are no better than the other crap on the shelf.

Drain... flies? Ewww, i've never heard of that before
I get them in my bathroom during the summer and fall. Since I began using real soap, they've nearly disappeared (next step: disassembly and cleaning of the sink and its drain, in the hopes of complete eradication). Supposedly they can't breed in oil, and leaving a layer of oil in the trap is one way used to get rid of them (which could be what my soap is doing).
