| It's idle, mind you, not idol. Have you been idle? Just downright lazy? Show us the proof. Send a picture of your messy junk drawer, cupboard, or a whole room if you have one. Threaten your kids that their bedroom closet is going online if they don't clean it! I'll be the judge and will comment on your picture. (I love being the boss!) I think this will be, by far, the most interesting page on this site. However, it requires participation! Searching the web for information on messiness, I found some photos of people's houses, click here to see them. I've never seen anything like them in my life and found the site riveting. I also felt an intense relief that my house, while having all the confusion and chaos that comes with having three kids, has never been that bad. On the flip side, the site could probably help you if you do have a mess going on. If you read the author's story, it will help you understand why the mess can happen. If you have anything fascinating at your house, let me know... Your name and any personal, identifying information will be kept confidential...promise! Oh, and if you do send a picture, follow up with your "after" picture so we can see that you got things cleaned up. Send your pictures by clicking here! |
| Cleaning up Red Bluff |
| Another cleanliness issue needs to be addressed. I've been seeing a lot of nose-picking around town. This really annoys me. These people are touching shopping cart handles, ATM touchpads at the store, and gas pump nozzles. I'm tired of seeing drivers, so engrossed with giving themselves a lobotomy, that they pay little attention to the road. I think this is by far a greater danger than driving with a cell phone. I wondered how I could help end nose picking forever, and I think I've stumbled across the answer. Please read the following letter which I sent to the Kimberly Clark Corporation, the makers of Kleenex Brand Tissue: |
Kimberly Clark Kleenex Division Dear Sirs, I have an idea for a brand new product. This idea was born as a result of observing those who choose to not use a Kleenex brand tissue when necessary. Everywhere you look, adults and children alike are picking their noses. It's time to meet the needs of these people in hopes that they will stop this disgusting behavior. My idea is to create "Kleenex Disposable Fingers." These, like ordinary Kleenex, can be sold by the box and in a variety of sizes. Nose pickers can utilize this product instead of their own finger. You can sell indexes or thumbs, with or without fingernails. Nose pickers can keep these in their pocket, away from public surfaces that are touched by the rest of us. Think of how this will stop the spread of infection. Now, with the dry fall season beginning, the wind is drying up the sinuses of these people, bringing the rate of nose-picking to an all time high. I predict that Kleenex Disposable Fingers will be in great demand, especially if you add an antibacterial lotion to them. I love your products! Sincerely, A Concerned Citizen |
| I am sure the Kleenex company will be very happy when they read my idea. I will let you know of their response. It feels good to be giving back in such a positive way. Some people would want to be paid for such a good idea. Not me. I really care about others. So, clean anywhere you've been neglecting. However, if you want to clean your nose thoroughly, you'll need to wait until Kimberly Clark gives America "The Finger." That's okay, you can still clean other stuff. Let's make Red Bluff shine! |
