Dang it. Why did I just assume that everything I was using in the bathroom was bleach? Darn that Lysol toilet cleaner, it says NOT to use with bleach.
I've got the windows open and the fans on. But ahem...doing a bit of throat-clearing.
Think I'll shower in the bathroom downstairs.

Eek. That can make some nasty fumes. Keep that window open till they're all gone.
(I did something similar on an outside patio and it was *still* overwhelming.)

Don't ever use bleach to clean a cat box.
Somehow I never thought of the ammonia in cat, well, you know, and the box being nasty and all bleach seemed like a good idea. You don't black out from the fumes but white out - everything turns white and it's a weird experience... and dangerous, too.
Just something to keep in mind and once you've experienced it, it seems almost a public service to warn others. (smile)

Fortunately I do not have a cat, but if I ever need to clean a catbox, I'll keep the no-bleach thing in mind. I would never think of that.
Okay, next thing I learend: when vacuuming the stairs, it's probably better to work up rather than start at the top and work down. That is if you are using the attachment hose from an upright vacuum. Seems it wanted to come downstairs faster than I wanted it to. So it fell on my head. Ouch!
And when geting a six-pack of Diet Coke down from the top of the fridge (or fr*g...ha ha, who had that problem with the asterisk?), use two hands, because they don't make those darned plastic ring things like they used to. Time to mop the kitchen floor! Wonder what kind of trouble I can get into there. Better warn the hubby.
sigh
I wonder if this is some subconscious way to convince hubby to hire a cleaning person?

> Fortunately I do not have a cat,
WELL! I never! Hrmph!! GG, are you one of those cat-hating folks? Fortunately, I DO have a cat and I love him....so there! Nah-nah-na-nah-nah! *sticks out tongue* (j/k...... ;-))

Yowza! Glad you're okay. That one would have put me at the ER with a broken-something, I think! And it kinda sounds like something from a cheesy horror movie (the best kind)...or maybe that's only when the vacuum comes to life and start chasing you around, or perhaps stalking you through the house... {***imagine music from "JAWS" playing***}

ahem..that would be me. On Voce's sunburn thread. Don't I feel like an idiot now, as I see I could have just left the darn *d* in and no problem! Well, I like spellin' my abbreviations any fr*ggin' way I want! Fr*g, fridge, refrig.....
>Time to mop the kitchen floor! Wonder what kind of trouble I can get into there.
Lol. How about this? Do it barefoot, use too much water and stuff, then turn, slip and fall and re-injure a tendon in your ankle. Oh yeah, and while you're at it, bruise your tailbone and break a package of lightbulbs by shoving the mop into them as you're falling.
oh yes...an old but entirely true story.
Go ahead, laugh. It's okay. I won't know
My then 11 or 12-year old daughter did, well, at least giggled, before she came to help me!
Little brat! (but it was ridiculous of me....)Be careful, the kitchen is a real jungle!

Damn right it is. Shot in there a coupla years back wearing socks and skated across the tiles into the skirting boards on the other side and broke 2 toes.
Annnnnd. The other weekend I dropped part of the paper and bent down to pick it up and whacked my head on the underside of the granite breakfast bar getting up - Youch!
