LOL What made it SO funny was Jeff Foxworthy. I had to move my truck so the
snake guy could come into the house and when I started my truck, Jeff was on
the radio and his monologue was "It is AMAZING what mom's will clean up aint
it? The toilet is spraying brown muck 6 feet in the air, the family runs out
side and there's mom, swinging a mop and singing "Im singing in the
rain......."

Dang! No wonder I was using my puffer today so much! I never even
associated
the bleach with my asthma going haywire. Good idea there!
Thanks!

Well, now you have a clean basement floor, it's just not done in the
timeframe you were thinking about, right? You're right, good thing the
UFO was the soak-up cloth and not a close-to-my-heart quilt!

Follow Mz Flutterby's advice on the nasal spray. She knows/nose about
things like that )

I had pulled out the UFO to get back into the feel of stitching and it
seemed like the right thing to get back in step on. Thank God it wasn't a

Yup. Nasty. That's a good word.... LOL
But I am enjoying how clean my floor is once again I don't usually bleach
it but it sure does look all pretty and shiny again! (gotta look @ the good
stuff now) and I did learn a valuable lesson... DO NOT LEAVE UFOs ON THE
FLOOR no matter HOW good your intentions were! When you are done playing,
put your toys away!!!
