Ode to Purex 3-in-1



This stuff is simply brillant.

A couple of months ago I needed detergent and saw Purex 3-in-1 on sale for $3.99. I had seen the commercials for it and had never really given it any thought as I was partial to my Gain Apple Mango Tango detergent and fabric softener. I was also a little skeptical as I am allergic to dryer sheets and thought it would cause me to sneeze like they do, but it was $3.99 so I figured I would give it a go.

I am so glad I did!

It's not like a Downy Ball is exactly time consuming or hard to work with, but it is so nice to just throw a sheet in with the load and not have to dig around to find anything when you transfer it to the dryer. Plus, you eliminate the whole mess of possibly spilling, and especially when you get to the end of liquid detergent or fabric softener and it comes out of some magical second hole and gets all over your hand. I just realized I sound like those morons in the Perfect Pasta commercials who can't even make spaghetti by talking about how hard it is to do something that is really not that difficult..oh well.

It is also nice because it hasn't caused any allergic reactions (sneezy, itchy eyes etc) that I get from dryer sheets. The only negative thing I have to say about them is that in terms of these vs. fabric softener, the laundry doesn't get as soft and fluffy, but it's by no means coarse.

I highly recommend them for anyone who hates to do laundry, it's amazing what one little sheet can do :)

Okay, so I admit, I've been slacking on blogging. But in my defense, Jamieland has been quite boring, what with the snow, no hippie roommate or excess money floating around to buy entertainment. Oooh, that totally sounded like I buy hookers, which I do not. Buy PC entertainment. That won't give me an STD. Or a baby. Anyways...so since the last blog I have had a birthday. I am now 27. Which doesn't sound too bad to most people, but if you ask a 27 year old how that sounds, it sounds less like "twenty-seven" and more like "Danger, Will Robinson, Danger!". A few weeks before my birthday I made the mistake of watching a 1970s science fiction film called "Logan's Run". It was actually entertaining. A bit campy but the majority of films in the 70s had cheese oozing out of every pore, in my opinion. The plot of the movie was simple, and mimicked the book closesly. It takes place in a future time when Earth is so overpopulated that new regulations

Scary Stuff

I quite possibly just had a heart attack. After several weeks of slowly going through each box/bin/drawer/closet/cabinet in my house to declutterize, I am finally finished. I have a pile of boxes with items to take down to my parents house for their garage sale in the living room, along with some boxes I had emptied so broke them down and put them in the storage closet on my deck. A few even had bubble wrap in them, hooray! Like all Americans, I adore bubble wrap so it has really taken every ounce of will in my body to not sit there and pop it all. Today, I was putting the last of the "keep" bins back in the storage closet. I had to readjust my weight to push the tub up onto the shelf when suddenly there was a loud *Bang*, obviously the sound of a car backfiring. Even though I live in a pretty affluent area, that sound is very similar to a gunshot, so the natural instinct is to dive for cover. That, however, is not really an option when you are essentially holding a 20

I am freakin hilarious.

This is an open post to Carrie, to let her know that in case our books don't arrive I've got her (our) back(s). I found this email I wrote to this company in November, 2007 regarding a calendar I had ordered that hadn't arrived. I have to say it cracked me up. So, without futher adeiu (I just realized I don't know how to spell that), I give you "Angry Consumer Jamie": Are you guys kidding me? On Friday it will have been 3 months since I placed my order. I have only received one email from your shit company since then, and only after I emailed you twice regarding the status of my order. I have emailed you since then and have not heard a peep from your company. That leads me to several conclusions: #1: you are a scam and stole my money without any promise of merchandise intended #2: your employees were in some freak accident which lowered their IQ to that of a slightly retarded water buffalo and you feel bad (perhaps you were behind the wheel of the bus tha
