(Not so) FAQ's #17

At what age does someone stop learning new stuff?

At any age - life can be filled with new experiences and little tidbits of unexpected information.

Take bleach, for instance.  I've known of the cleaning properties of bleach and have used it - albeit sparingly - for about a hundred years or so.

I know it makes white things whiter - and isn't a good idea for colors.

Recently I decided to bleach some white wash cloths that had taken on a funky aura of their own.

I also had a set of 2 (ugly) gray and purple striped washcloths - one of which I was willing to sacrifice to the bleach gods in hopes of improving its aroma.

So - I dropped it in a sink of diluted bleach.






I had expected that it would end up a lighter version of its original self...but in a few seconds it literally changed colors before my eyes.

The purple and gray had become hot pink and orange...it was kinda cool!

Maybe the affects of bleach on a striped washcloth is less than earth-shattering - but I want to consider even the silliest of experiences as an interesting mystery or life lesson.

Then there was the time while raking outside -

that I thought I'd unearthed a pig snout!...

...Until I turned it over and realized it was just a nut! 


What a relief!

...And then - there's the common "side affect" of eating asparagus - one that I never knew about until just recently.

I guess I didn't get the memo.

...but that's another story for another time.
