I swish the toilet with the brush daily and use cleanser once a week. Meanwhile, the sink gets boiling water poured down it daily and is cleaned several times a day with the bleach/water mix in the spray bottle on the counter.<BR/><BR/>I guess there are good and bad sides to the fact that I stopped growing taller when I was only 12.

Jill, your comment cracked me up. I thought the same thing!)<BR/><BR/>I used to not really trust hyped-up studies. Then I read this crazy book "Good Calories, Bad Calories." Now I don't trust ANY studies. I'm tempted to send the Crab a copy JUST to read her opinion of it. It's fascinating in a comprehensive (and slightly disturbing) sort of way. <BR/><BR/>Also, that picture of the doctor laughing under his little mask made me laugh out loud this morning.katieohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08339475353059389950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-65591904797492691752008-09-17T11:28:00.000-04:002008-09-17T11:28:00.000-04:00Once after working for over 36 hours straight, I was finishing up a case (the patient was awake for a minor procedure), and I just burst out laughing!!
