christmas eve messing around

Looks like you've got a secure backup job at a chop shop!

Seeing what you did, I now would probably just try to clean it up the best I could, buy stock in Fabreze, and just learn to live with rotted milk stench.

I remember puking in my Suzuki Samurai once. The smell only lasted for a couple of months.

 

:blink: :lol:

Sometimes we end up doing the unlikeliest things (on holidays, birthdays, even wedding days!), huh?

do we know who that *someone* is who spilt the milk (over which there obviously was some crying)??

Why not simply do as the French (oops) do, and repeatedly spray nice-smelling things over the foul smell, rather than root it out at its source? B)

On Christmas eve I spent seven straight hours combatting a huge ant invasion into our kitchen, driven (the ants, that is) both by the rain and certain, uh, forgotten food drippings/droppings. I ended up chemically (and abetted by steel wool amd a razor blade) scouring the counter tiles---and, of course, there's no point doing that without also cleaning the discolored grout with a stub-bristled toothbrush, is there?

The ant line got the message and has temporarily retreated to a point just outside the kitchen slider.

I now have a vacuum cleaner bag populated largely by ants. Anyone want an ant farm-in-a-bag?

God bless the children who think their new homes will be classier with tiled counters and floors.

 

30 minutes - WOW. Maybe you should consider getting a job at the local Toyota dealer and specialize on the Prius :lol:

The big question is - how long will it take to put it back together. Let us know.

 

i think Prius biker was just being funny

 

I never let anyone bring food or drink into my car. Ever. Period.

I think so too. But what's funny to me is that it already IS true...

 

Hey Galaxee,

The neighborhood in your picture looks awfully familiar - I think I know exactly where that is (in walking distance of DH's place of employment if it weren't for having to cross 15-501 on foot?).

I'm glad you were able to spend Christmas Eve bonding with your beloved Prius by getting even more intimately familiar with its internal workings and by bestowing much more TLC on it in cleaning up a spill than ordinary car owners would ever consider. My fiancee does make fun of me for not alowing any drinks in my cars - ever; and I maintain that it's for a reason!

I spent Christmas Eve in a numb haze after having sold my beloved Prissy the day before. Resale values, while still good, are not quite what they used to be.

Best of luck in getting the stench out of your car, and I hope you are doing well otherwise,
Bill

 

Great new product called ZeroOder or 0 oder ... what ever. Google it. Use it. Takes out nasty cologne, dog puke, urine ... cigaret smoke ... skunk ... you name it. It saves me from my wife's allergies to all those smells & more.

A gallon milk jug is fairly stable because it's nice and wide at the base. Sounds like someone took a turn on two wheels...

You could just stop smoking, wearing nasty cologne and pissing on the floor. :lol:

One of my favorite comic strips is from Argentina, and is called Mafalda. Mafalda is a little girl who has something of Pogo about her, for those old enough to remember Walt Kelly's 'possum.

There's a running gag that her dad has house plants, and is in a perpetual battle against the ants. In one strip, he is putting sugar into the electrical outlets, hoping to attract the ants to the wires and electrocute them.

I do not recommend trying this.

 

Sounds like you need to put DH over your knee and spank. Only stop if he shows he's enjoying it too much.

 

Reminds me of the "sharp" looks I get when I insist that my wife use a capped coffee cup in our Prius. Her Camry sometimes smells like coffee from her use of a regular coffee mug.

I choose to endure the stressed domestic relations to avoid coffee on the upholstery and carpets. *SIGH*

Insofar as the overturned milk carton, I *ALWAYS* place milk cartons in the "pocket cargo net."

 

Hell with putting it all back together... Get a roll cage put in there, two bright red recaro racing seats, and replace the rear seat with a 20 gallon gas tank and fill up once a month!
