Oh my.

The primitive with a sensitive bottom, the big guy's pal, who's probably still looking for a charity for the homeless run by atheists.

I have the cleanest kitchen curtains I have ever had.

My kitchen curtains get so grimy and greasy and smoky (yes, I smoke), they were so yellowed and greasy that I did not think I was going to get them clean. I soaked them with dishwashing liquid, then washed them in laundry detergent, and they were still yellowed. I put them in dishwashing liquid again, thinking that since it cuts grease, it would work. It did not.
 
I was contemplating whether I would have to replace them because they looked so bad, and noticed the bar of soap in the soap dish above the sink. Well, it can't hurt to try that. OMG. It did take some work, since I had to foam up the soap all over each curtain, but it worked a miracle. My curtains are so white and clean, it looks like I just bought them.
 
So now I have another option whenever I have something that will not clean up with detergents.

1. What brand of bar soap did you use?

Ivory, Dove, something else?

2. It was Cashmere Bouquet but I don't think that it matters, although I would not use Dove or Caress or one of those with added ingredients, just because. I always knew that soap and detergent were different, but it never occurred to me that one could do so well where the other did nothing. I just had a cheap soap down in the basement for quick hand wash after working in the yard.

3. Interesting. I have kept years worth of soap leftovers

Some little slivers that I throw in a box in the bathroom and some not so little.
 
I might shred them up and make a liquid soap out of that and use it for hand washing stuff.

^^^has probably hoarded years of used facial-tissues too.

4. Oh, what a good idea.

I keep all my soap pieces too, and I don't see what that wouldn't work. It's worth a try. A liquid soap probably would have been easier to use than the bar, which I had to rub all over the curtains.
 
I know that there are some things that a detergent cleans well. But other things just don't seem to budge.

I wonder if they keep their toenail clippings too?

I'm afraid to ask Frank... but curiosity has gotten the better of me.  Why is her bottom sensitive?

Because she's a DUmbass and, like all DUmbasses, is butthurt over one thing or another happening in the world these days?

No problem, sir.

The big guy's pal, who lives in, apparently Michigan, a bitter old woman, is a notorious tightwad; squeezes every ounce of copper and then some out of a penny.

However, she splurges on expensive fancy toilet paper because she has a sensitive bottom.

I didn't make this up--oh God no--she said so herself.

Thanks Frank.   

Only dummies would get on the internet and discuss their bathroom habits.

Well you know poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith saves hair clippings from barber shop floors in hundreds of little medicine bottles.

She visits every barbershop within walking distance of the Trimet busline in Milwaukie, Oak Grove, and Oatfield down there on the south side of Portland, Oregon.

After a long day on the bus, she'll come back to the bodega with a couple of shopping bags bulging with the day's treasure.

Then it's a relaxing evening sorting the hair into black, blond, red, brown, and white categories, then packing it all into medicine bottles and storing each bottle on its designated shelf.

It's not easy, but nothing worth doing is, and it's a lot better than listening to the children complain about being embarrassed by her internet activity.

Now I'm sorry I asked.  That's some f***** up shit right there.

She also puts ice-cubes in her brassiere when she gets hot.

<<<not making this stuff up; Grandma Judy herself admitted to it.

Now you see why her children and grandchildren try to keep her off the computer.

Ummm, how about "toilet tissue"? 
Ewwww! 
Perhaps the DUmpmonkey should just do the smoking outside, and not in the house. Stupid DUmpmonkey.
It works for me.

Poor addled grasswipe Judy calls the medicine bottles "my pies".

What does she do with the hair?

[hillneck]

Just as you think the DUmmies have bottomed out in their cesspool existence, the move the measuring stick.

[Big Dog]

What does she do with the hair?

The answer to that question may be found in the next season of Criminal Minds.

[Bad Dog]

What does she do with the hair?

 

I'm afraid you may come to regret that question as much as I do my earlier one.

[GOBUCKS]

What does she do with the hair?

What do stamp collectors do with their stamps?

She may attend swap meets with other hairophiles, or maybe join the pro hair show circuit. 
Maybe she'll donate it to people who need more short hair.
In the past, she's had her excess woven into overcoats, which she always wears.

There's no limit to what you can do with medicine bottles of hair. They're a lot like Forrest Gump's shrimp.

Some day that vast hair collection will be passed down to her six generations of living descendants.
It's her legacy.

[I_B_Perky]

What does she do with the hair?

Probably the same thing the nazis did with all the hair from the death camps.

The DUmbass SMOKES, yet worries about what "added ingredients" are in a friggin' bar of SOAP!!!!!!

It would appear that way.
