I just cleaned and caulked my bathtub...ask me anything!?

[jab105]

Wht makes this opportunity extra special is that I haven't cleaned my bathtub in four months cause I had broken my kneecap (kinda hard to clean the bathtub with a broken kneecap)....and, even better, the fumes are still in my head...

Don't miss out!

1. Which uses more water...

a shower or a bath?

[jab105]

3. Bath, definitely....

and it also makes the bathtub dirtier faster....

that's actually why I was inspired to clean it...

I was talking a bath (makes the knee feel GOOD!) and if I put my fingernails on the bottom of the tub, they got full of yucky stuff...gross!

26. Congrats jab105!! 600 posts

2. Fumes? Okay, then: If it takes a hen and a half a day and a half...

...to lay an egg and a half, how long does it take for a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?

[jab105]

4. 4 days and 3 hours, 22 minutes...

though it could be anywhere from 20-25 minutes depending on the size of his foot, yes, folks, size does matter.....

now....

if he had a wooden tail, and a normal leg, it would still take him 3 days and 18 hours and 12 minutes because the wooden tail would throw off his balance...but again, the minutes would range from 10-15 minutes due to the size of his feet....

5. You are good when you're all hopped up on caulk fumes!

I've been trying to figure out the answer to that damn question for years!

[jab105]

6. My pleasure...

chemicals are very fun things...

7. Ask you anything???

Oh, Lord, this could go in so many directions that none of us want it to go :)

So I'll ask you a really tough one:
How many beans make five?

Now ask me this one:
Why have I not cleaned my bathtub in six months and don't even have the excuse of a broken knee?

[jab105]

9. Ok, this is a tough one.....

It only requires one bean to make five...but the real question is how long you want to wait before you need your five beans...the quickest option, unfortunately, requires five...if you are patient, one....

You have not cleaned your bathtub because you aren't shedding skin as fast as I am, which is a great thing for you...now, if it gts to be a year, ask again, and it may be a different answer:)

8. how does one manage to break a kneecap -

other than missing payments to the local loan shark?

[jab105]

10. The BOSS ratted me out...

no...

actually, tripping and landing hard on my kneecap...but certainly, other stories are more entertaining...

I advise that when one walks, one tries not to fall over their own two feet, or if they do, do so in grass, not concrete or pavement:)

[Kenneth ken]

12. my sympathies

I guess that should have been in my prior post;

so, you're all better now? Did you have a cast? I'm confused about how you could be having baths for all this time if you were casted.

And my "real" question - did you dump the clown shoes? Surely that must have been what tripped you up, no?

[jab105]

15. All better, just a bit more snap, crackle, and pop then I used to have...

I didn't have a cast, had a knee brace for 2 months, so I could take it off to get into the bathtub...it was fun, lost all the muscles in my leg...OHHH ADDED BONUS, check this out:



Unfortunately, being nearly 6 feet tall, and female...I can't get rid of the clown shoes, the feet are just too big:)

[Kenneth ken]

17. so you cut your feet off at the ankles?

that seems a bit harsh! :silly:

It looks like your right leg went to one of those wrap places; I don't know what they're called. The thing where they guarantee you'll lose x inches in 30 minutes or whatever. I knew a woman once who did that. She lost a little water weight in the bum, but that was about it. I think she only went the one time.

uhm, I need a ?


When were Chrissie Hynde's daughters born? year-month-day would be appreciated (it was from a different thread)

[jab105]

18. Oh geez, I plead the fifth......

oh no...its a question I don't know...I'm guessing early 80s.....Let me say....April 19, 1982.....November 14, 1984...

I could cut my feet off at the ankles, and then, indeed, I would no longer have clown feet...however, even though the picture doesn't show the clown feet, last time I checked...yep, they are still there:)

As for the knee...well, it was very similar to that with the knee brace, which was velcro-ed onto the leg...though, for anyone thinking about getting "wrapped".....I wouldnt suggest wrapping yourself for two months...though you would lose a great deal more than water weight if you did:)

[Kenneth ken]

20. not bad

the nearest I could find was 1983 and (likely) 1985.

I'm out of questions for the night.

thanks!

[jab105]

22. Heck....

That's pretty good for me, since I was about 8 at the time:)

Have a good night:)

[khashka]

19. Nope

Go with the loanshark story. It's a lot more colorful.

The "I Just Fell Over" story is only going to make people make fun of you. But "It Was A Loanshark" or even the ever popular "It Was A Mafia Hit" will increase your popularity and make girls/boys look at you with wide adoring eyes.

So which do you prefer? Sniggering or a hot date?

[jab105]

21. I'm thinking....it was a mafia hit.....

I made out like a loon, and they got back at me with a baseball bat...how's that sound:)

[scarlet_owl]

11. Here's a question...

Will you come and clean my bathtub?

[jab105]

13. Only if there are benefits for me....

I must confess, I'm not a profession....I would suggest someone who may have a bit more experience...

Perhaps if the broken kneecap thing had never happened, I would consider a career as a bathtub cleaner...

But, with the break, my job prospects are a bit more limited...

[scarlet_owl]

14. I can give you a peanut butter cup but that's all I have...

I hope your knee feels better.

[jab105]

16. Oh heck...

that's tempting...if it were fudge, I'd go for it...

chocolate is my weakness....

Oh heck, the knee "kneeds" some beating up every once in a while:)

23. How big was the caulk?? Was there a smell to the caulk??

Was there a taste to the caulk??? What kind of thing did the caulk squirt out??? What was the consistency of the material that the caulk squirt out???

[jab105]

24. All purpose caulk...

About 12 inches long, and you squeeze it...I used about half of it....

There is no smell to caulk, though I may be mistaken since I was half crazsy from the chemicals that I used to clean the tub itself...I'm assuming it would taste like chalk, but haven't tried it yet (had TVP sloopy joes for dinner, still full)....

It didn't spurt, but it could...you have to apply pressure gently, but firmly (I know that sounds so much worse than I mean it too).....

It has the consistency of thick frosting...I got it all over my fingers....

[SmileyBoy]

25. I hope you also got my little innuendo there...

...about squirting out caulk.:-)
