« return
[00:00:09] <nick> on my return from the us we found the house was full of mildew
[00:00:18] <Bytram> were you *that* dirty?
[00:00:20] <Bytram> ;)
[00:00:43] <nick> cleaned up most of it but got the owners to come in and do the ceiling
[00:00:57] <Bytram> ewwwwww
[00:01:08] * Bytram hopes you don't have problems with allergies!
[00:01:28] <nick> i don't, mrs nick does though, so she has not been happy
[00:01:39] <nick> but should be ok now
[00:01:49] <Bytram> I'd bet if you never had to smell bleach again, it would still be too soon!
[00:02:03] <nick> didnt use bleach, apparently it doesn't work
[00:02:11] <nick> vinegar is the solution
[00:02:17] <Bytram> huh?!!? What did you use?
[00:02:19] <Bytram> ahhh
[00:02:35] <nick> it works very well, and a lot more pleasant to work with
[00:02:38] <Bytram> if you have any left over, can do more cooking with vinegar than bleach, too!
[00:02:54] <nick> i don't know how many gallons of vinegar i bought over the last couple weeks
[00:03:11] <nick> yeah, it's made me crave fish n chips
[00:03:12] <Bytram> IIRC vinegar is a mild acid?
[00:03:28] <nick> i think so
[00:03:38] <Bytram> ~g vinegar
[00:03:40] <exec> [google] https://en.wikipedia.org
[00:04:43] <Bytram> looks like I was right:
[00:04:44] <Bytram> Vinegar is a liquid consisting of about 5–20% acetic acid (CH3COOH), water, and other trace chemicals, which may include flavorings. The acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria.[1] Vinegar is now mainly used as a cooking ingredient, or in pickling. As the most easily manufactured mild acid, it has historically had a great variety of industrial, medical, and domestic uses, some of which (such a
[00:04:45] <Bytram> s its use as a general household cleaner) are still commonly practiced today.

[00:04:56] <Bytram> #smake upstart
[00:04:56] * MrPlow smakes upstart upside the head with a malicious toolbar
[00:05:26] <nick> but yeah, if you ever have a problem with mildew or mold, vinegar is the way to go
[00:05:46] <Bytram> thanks muchly for the tip... will definitely remember that one!
[00:06:32] <nick> also didn't want to use bleach because of the cat
[00:09:00] <nick> but now all is clean and fresh, everyone is happy... but we now have a new 'house' built on the plot behind us, not sure if i mentioned that the other day
[00:09:21] * Bytram prolly missed that
[00:09:43] <Bytram> things have been all over the place the past few days and I dont know if I am coming or going...
[00:09:47] <Bytram> congrats on the new home!
[00:10:03] <nick> not my house, the owners of this house built another one
[00:10:19] <Bytram> oh, okay.
[00:10:29] <nick> i was concerned, was worried about months of construction
[00:10:45] <nick> but it's a 'prefab' and they built the structure and roof in one day
[00:10:52] <Bytram> !woop
[00:10:52] <Bender> woop woop woop (\/) (;,,;) (\/)
[00:10:55] <nick> its a glorified garden shed though
[00:11:01] <Bytram> heh heh
[00:11:38] <nick> this house is brick, was built earlier this year just before i moved in
[00:11:48] <nick> so i was expecting them to do the same behind us
[00:12:09] <nick> i'm almost tempted to rent it too, just so i dont have more neighbours lol
[00:12:26] <Bytram> got a favor to ask, if I may? I got only about 4 hours sleep last night, all told (tolled?) and we still need a couple more stories pushed out to make us until start-of-business EDT. Any chance you could take over?
[00:12:36] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:12:40] <Bytram> I understand your thinking!
[00:14:55] <nick> yeah i should be able to manage that
[00:15:05] <Bytram> I have one more I'm working on atm
[00:15:10] <Bytram> should be done in a minute or two
[00:15:14] <nick> ok
[00:15:58] <nick> things are settling down here so i should be able to start contributing again more regularly
[00:16:49] <Bytram> okay, done with that one, too.
[00:17:04] * Bytram looks around for some extra laxative
[00:17:22] <Bytram> much appreciated
[00:17:42] <Bytram> neighbors are a bit yakity atm, but I hope I can still get to sleep early.
[00:17:54] <nick> get some rest
[00:18:07] <nick> put on some chillout music and unwind
[00:18:11] <Bytram> thanks so much, and again just have to tell you how happy I am that things are working out for you... really made my day
[00:18:28] <Bytram> roger

[17:08:25] <takyon> the japan virtual reality sub does not look like news, so I might take it and spruce it up with some new stuff
[23:27:11] <Bytram> I slotted the halloween story (it was the one about licorice, right?) in the next, not yet used, time slot (had to push the steamroller story off just a bit)
