Yes!  They thrived!

There's a bottom feeder/thriving off scum/lawyer joke in there somewhere.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

We have a large shower with "tumbled" marble tiles on the floor and walls and half of the shower is a glass wall and glass door. Well, it's not really a shower as much as it is a collection point for all things soap scum. [bang] It's a constant effort to keep it semi clean. I use Softscrub liquid gel, a two sided sponge with one side like a Scotch Brite pad the other side normal sponge and a stiff bristle brush about the size of my palm. I use the Scotch Brite-type side of the sponge on the interior glass wall and door and the brush and sponge on the tiles and grout. It's a pain and a constant maintenance issue. Maybe we should bathe less... or get a bucket of snails. [thumbsup]
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

clean it, dry it out for a few days and then seal it.  you would be surprised how different it behaves.

A small dehumidifier will do wonders for prevent spore growth. Less moisture = less growth = less work to keep it clean.

I don't how well they work on lawyers.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

You're right there. [thumbsup] I need to reseal the shower, bath and kitchen counter tops for sure. It's been a few years. The guy who remodeled our house before we bought it had a mad on for tumbled marble tiles. [bang] Doing the showers and bath counter tops is one thing. Having that same shit for kitchen counter tops was a huge tactical error. :P Not the kind of surface you want to work off of in a kitchen. We have big glass and clear plastic cutting boards everywhere. I have nighmares of spilled spaghetti sauce and a permanent stain the size of the sink! If I ever do one mod to this house it would be to ditch the tile kitchen top and go with something (anything!!) else.

In the mean time I need to get off my ass, clean it all up and reseal.

I remember seeing an infomercial on power steamers cleaning bathroom scum.  This isn't the exact same tool, but comparable.
I met this girl named Virginia.  She said "nice bike, you can call me Virgin for short, but not for long"

Time for a call to the ASPCS (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Snails (or slugs)).  Its for your own good really.  Course if were escargo snails and you could harvest them...... :-X
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!
