I'm hanging with the fabulous Mrs. 4444 today and joining the Friday Fragments Fun! Don't be shy!  Clickety on over and join the party! As you may have gathered from my lame title, my brain's on fog alert this morning...hopefully you won't think I'm completely mental by the end of this post!  Fragment 1    Comment Confusion....

I've discovered a lot of weird stuff going on in the blog world upon my return.  For instance, what is up with the massive amounts of comment spam?  Holy word verification, Blog Man! And why are they all connected to penis enhancing products?  (note to spammers...no penis here...I can see how you might think there would be with all of the pink, roses and girlish~ness over here...move along please, you freaks...)   I've seen lots of blogs with the new Comm...

Many of you emailed me to ask how much to use...I'm such a ding-a-ling that I forgot to include that little tidbit! Here's what I use....I usually use about 1/2 cup to 1 cup depending on my mood...some folks (like me) just use it straight, pouring it right into my rinse dispenser....others (adding it to their rinse dispenser) will dilute it with water.
