PSA, Friends!

[roxy]

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.

[rednihilist.livejournal.com]

Hear hear!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I clean no more!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

SEE!!! SEEE!! THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL THESE FOLKS!!!

*blush* actually, I've been forbidden from cleaning for the rest of the day...*G*

[miss-tress.livejournal.com]

I wish I could get banned from cleaning. You're so lucky. For not being dead and for not having to clean.

[garryowen.livejournal.com]

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.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I know! Bleach is the devil! but it's the only thing that makes me feel like something is clean... :(

Clean the bathroom naked...heee! That makes me laugh! Once my sister confided that she liked to vacuum the house sans clothing. When I finally stopped laughing I told her she was a perv and she told me I was a bitch. Her place was always cleaner than mine, though.
Good times....*G*

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.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Of course he won't! Anything for his little shnoogums!

*waits for men to arrive*

[cinderella81.livejournal.com]

Oh noes!!! *clings*

You can't leave us, Roxy!!!!!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Girl!!! I was terrified for a minute that I *was* leaving ya'll!!!!

[sablier-bloque.livejournal.com]

OMG! You poor thing *hugs you*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*clings all over you*

And I totally didn't post that to get hugs either--*koff*

[fromward.livejournal.com]

I did not know that! Glad you're okay!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

See? My misadventure is a lesson to you all! Now you know--*NEVER* clean, it's too dangerous! *HUGS*

[dawnybee.livejournal.com]

::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??

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Doesn't noxious fumes signal that it's working??

um-humm, old school--if you're not staggering blindly and your nostril hairs aren't on fire after cleaning, you didn't do it right! *snorfle*

[myownghost.livejournal.com]

oh, man. hooray for mr. roxy and his rapid action! glad you're here to tell us the tale.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

once again, the man proves his worth!! Huzzah! *G*

[herohunter.livejournal.com]

OHHH! I've done that!! I've used Kaboom (is that he name of tha tone with the purple bottle?) and then, not satisfied, bleach, on the bathtub, and OY!! My eyes nearly popped out of their sockets from the burn!!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I know!!! It's this *thing* we have though--it's got to be gleaming or else it's not really clean and we all know it's only bleach that does that...oy!

*hugs fellow poison victim*


and omg, your icon is *BEAUTIFUL*!!!

[herohunter.livejournal.com]

Thank you, beloved! It's from my newest banner!

:D

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

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

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I've been cured of my desire to clean, I tell you what! ;)

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

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!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!
Let me stress that my poisoning was entirely involuntary! Who could imagine that a cleaning product wouldn't be clearly labeled? Mr. Roxy sent those Tilex people a very sternly worded e-mail. He's my hero!

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I didn't think it was intentional. Neither was my ex's. He was actually kind of a hero saving someone that had been poisoned like that.

It's frustrating that they don't put better warnings on that stuff. If it was at a workplace, there would be lots of warnings, because it's in a household, nothing. Grr!

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

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*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

OMG! I learned my lesson today--don't worry about me hanging around for a long time because I'M NEVER CLEANING AGAIN!!!!

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

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!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS you back just as hard!

I will kiss him--omg, he deserves it!

And I didn't even mean to mix them! it was so stupid! I cleaned the shower floor with one product, and then the shower door with the other, and of course, liquids run down a vertical, to mix with what's laying on the horizontal...I felt SO EMBARRASSED!!!! After I got over freaking out for almost gassing myself, lol!!

[suzvoy.livejournal.com]

*clings*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*clings back* I was SCARED!! And embarrassed! *G*

[tabaqui]

Eeep!!
Ms. Rose! You have to be careful!!!
*clings to you*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Lord, I've learned my lesson, girl. Cleaning is the DEVIL! Or maybe the lesson is chemicals are the Devil...naaaaaaah!!!

[tabaqui]

It's the cleaning. Definitely.

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....

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*BLINK*

Wow...okay! *GRIN*

Because life can only be lived better by asking ourselves, "WWMD?"

[jakrar.livejournal.com]

See WHY I say housework is evil. WHY. WHY. *shakes head at self*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL! I don't judge--I am the Queen of the edit button!

[dm-wyatt.livejournal.com]

Wow...

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

*HUGS*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Man, it was scary, I'll say! I'm glad to be here still too! *HUUUUUUGS*

[dm-wyatt.livejournal.com]

I did that once when I was younger and man, I had to vacate the premises for hours until the fumes cleared out.

**HUGGGS**
