I'm with @farmerjan on this. In the essential oil world I learned that anything applied topically to the skin gets into the bloodstream, I want to say in 20 seconds? but truly can't remember the exact number. Which is why I cringe when I see all the commercials that push scented laundry products and room fresheners -- and you know they are just using chemicals and not the actual essential oils to get those products. (quietly sliding that soapbox to the side).

I use no scented products. Dawn is poison to me, but I can use it now after nearly 30 years, in small amounts. I just used it to scrub out 3 barrels, rinsed, used Clorox, rinsed -again. But I feel the tingle on my lips and tongue that tells me I used too much of it for too long of a time. Clorox doesn’t bother me. Any and all perfumes, scented everything, makes me react. I used to react to filling up the gas tank, had to stand up wind, several feet away until I put up the nozzle and hose.

I'm sensitive to scents, too. There's a woman who works across the hall from our main administration office, and we think she's a germophobe. When she arrives in the morning she sprays her entire office with Lysol. I think she was also spraying as she walked down the main hallways to her section because everywhere I walked I was in a cloud. I finally told her to stop spraying the halls, and when she sprays her office to keep her door closed so we're not choking on it.

He took stove completely apart and we found what was causing all the smoke. It was FULL of dog kibble underneath the bottom plate. It eventually caught fire and thats what turned everything black and filled up my house with smoke while it was SNOWING outside.
I’m stuck on couch today, nursing painful fingers and wrists, along with my back after scrubbing the whole inside, the racks, the window, the door…how do you kill a packrat?Do I have to buy a Jack Russell? , cuz I’ve never been crazy about them, but this critter needs to go 🤬

I do have even have words…!!!

Did I just hear the WH press briefing question correctly? $2.7 TRILLION in improper Medicare/Medicaid payments to people overseas who weren’t entitled to the benefit?

This cannot be real.

The entire national debt is ~$36T, and you’re telling me that you sent checks for $2.7T to people overseas??

I am telling you right now, by the time we’re done with these audits, we will find at least $36T worth of waste, fraud and abuse.

The entire national debt is waste, fraud and abuse.

ON TOP OF THAT.. how long have we been debating Medicare/Medicaid insolvency???

NO WONDER IT’S GOING INSOLVENT?!?!

YOU’RE WRITING CHECKS TO THE ENTIRE GLOBAL POPULATION… How many years have we been taking about this???.

This is just beyond lunacy, and that the dumbest among can't see it is a testament to our ignorance as a nation. What an embarrassment.

A friend of mine shared the quote I pasted above. It's on Telegram, I'm not, so I can't confirm. If true, this is nuts!
