total confusion

Today I learned that the printing on polyethylene water pipes is worse than newsprint, and I say that as someone who has not read an actual print newspaper since 2004. The good news is that you can scrub it off with Bon Ami® and a Scotch-Brite® Scrub Sponge.

The only other news is that I felt crummy until I got all the pipes and the wheelchair out of the house and washed the new & improved fragrance-free 'earthscience' shampoo out of my hair. That wasn't exactly a controlled experiment, so I can't say for sure that the new chemical they put in my shampoo (new & improved!) was the problem, but it's my prime suspect.
