PSA, Friends!

Friends, never mix a product like soap-scum remover( say, Tilex) with a bleach based cleaning product. Because way on the bottom of the Tilex bottle, in itty tiny words that only twenty year old eyes can read and definitely not legible to fifty-plus eyes, is a warning stating that the product contains ammonia. Guess what happens when you mix ammonia and bleach? That's right, a nearly ex-roxy. It sure felt like it for a few minutes. Fortunately, I just got a little light headed--which of course threw me into a panic attack, and that's just gangs of fun. Thank goodness for a level headed Mr. Roxy!

And here I was worrying about having interesting things to tell you!

Cleaning is dangerous business! You should avoid it whenever possible.

Awww, poor you! *hugs*

I fucking hate bleach. Evil! I always get it on my clothes. Maybe I should clean the bathroom naked.

Of course, then the bleach would get on my skin... Yuck.

Oh, Ms. Roxy! Chlorine gas has no place in your home!

*passes you an assortment of HOT men to protect you*

Hope Mr. Roxy doesn't mind.

::nods in understanding::

There were a few times as a kid I nearly expired while doing my chores because you would think bleach and pure ammonia would make things extra clean. Doesn't noxious fumes signal that it's working??

Eeeep! I knew there was a reason I avoided cleaning like the plague. I'm glad you're okay.

My ex bf almost died from that. And that's kinda why we're exes now. LOL

Yay to Mr Roxy for saving the day!

YIKES! See... this is why cleaning is evil!

So glad Mr. Roxy was there to take care of you.

*clings* You're not allowed to leave us for a VERY long time! *hugs*

What? How dare you put my Roxy in harms way. I'm going to come up there and spank you hard, young lady! Kiss Mr. Roxy hard for me for saving you.

Please try one product at a time. If the first doesn't work, and you want to try another, then do it. Never mix chemicals. It's so very very dangerous.

(((((Hugs)))))) you very hard!

See what I say housework is evil?

Seriously, I'm glad you got out of it okay, but that really was luck. I'd always figured that someday I'd write a MacGyverism where Mac is rigging something with a timer to mix two chemicals together just as the bad guys get there (with Mac himself long gone), and he's using ammonia and something else to form a smoke screen, only Murdoc (who is working with him at this point) secretly switches the something else with bleach to make sure the bad guys are dealt with much more permanently....

Wow...

I'm glad you survived! That is a dangerous mix.
