Very fine motor skills.

There's a story here about a Rowville toddler who started his mum's car and pinned her against the garage wall.

Nothing in particular I wanted to say about it; I just wanted to use the pun up there in the title. Hehe. Although I'm disappointed the police have already confirmed "no charges are pending." Don't they realise the icy threat of hard time is the only way to control the rambunctious youth of today and of tomorrow?

  2. Glory, I’ll have to remember that bit of advice next time I’m deciding whether to hang the face washer from the hook or the tap. Nice one! :)

  3. Just leave it on the floor like we do at our place.

  4. Never change, but always improve.

  5. Bomber, I find it difficult to believe that both of you do that?

  6. Dunno. I don't use one. Skanky things...

  7. I'm with Bomber; I have two perfectly good "face washers" on the ends of my arms.

  8. But your hands won't exfoliate your skin like a face washer does. Next you'll be telling me you don't need to moisturise because your natural skin oils are just as good as jojobafett ginseng honey moon beam essence of extract!

  9. Face washes do not exfoliate... they are just soggy towels used to remove make up (thus I do not use one). A lufer will exfoliate. Give one of these a blast and see how you feel.

  10. For exfoliation I have a loofah. Sometimes I even use it.

    As regards soap, I find that the best soap is whatever happens to be on special at the chemist or Coles when I happen to be there for something else and remember that we are down to a few bars. I then buy 20 or so bars because, after all, soap keeps and isn't too bulky. Similar logic applies to shaving cream.

    There's a whole bunch of other bottles and cans in the shower, but I don't know much about them. I think most of it belongs to the owner of the face washer hanging off the hook at the bottom of the shower cadddy.

  11. As a strongly visual person, I find myself growing uncomfortable at the direction this conversation has taken... :)

  12. I know what you mean. I hate the thought of me shopping too.

  13. JJ - When I think of you shopping, the only image I get is of some Jackass-sized shopping trolley filled to overflowing with bottles of Pepsi Max. :)

    Oh, and Kate, I've been trying to think of some clever comeback, but I can't. You win.

  14. Just read CK's Blog. Sounds like you should trow him a bar of soap while you have some in bulk.

  15. CK is always welcome to take as much soap as he wants from our place, and he often does.

    At the same time, he generally takes a whole bunch of hot water and soon after, borrows a towel.

    He's always welcome to have the soap wrapped up in a doggie bag if he prefers, though. Although if he does that, I'd prefer that he took the Palmolive Gold rather than the Imperial Leather.

    (Do you think Darth Vader would use Imperial Leather soap? I certainly do.)

  16. Bomber, just be glad you found out about the washing fast from his blog; some of us found out about it in person. Yoicks! :)

    Triple J, I recently rediscovered Imperial Leather. How good is it? Along with Listerine toothpaste and Dettol handwash I'm slowly locking my bathroom brands IN!

  18. CK, I had no idea that the Norsca range of bathroom products were named after the region from Warhammer Fantasy. If that's the case, why didn't they use homicidal Viking beserkers and hordes of rampaging, axe-wielding dwarves in their ads instead of that naked, blonde chick soaping herself behind a fern in some mountain pond?

    Oh wait, I think I can answer that question for myself.

  19. CK,

    Just to clarify:

    I am always happy for you to use our towels, our hot water and our soap. In whatever quantities you may require.

    I can also show you where we keep our vacuum cleaner if the carpet is not up to your standard on any future visit.

    JJ

  20. What a strange minotaur/centaur/type-thingy this comment thread is, with the body of one thread and the head of another! :)

  21. I assumed Norsca was linked to Warhammer because that's what Wikipedia said when I typed it in. It didn't give me any alternatives. Thus I also know New York is a state and not a city, and a foot is a body part not a measurement of distance.

  22. CK – Norsca the product name is undoubtedly derived from ‘norse,’ meaning related to the area, people or culture of Scandinavia. Hence the stereotypical blonde chick in the ads. It is highly unlikely to have any connection to the world of Warhammer, especially as an interest in Warhammer and personal hygiene do not generally go hand in hand. (Just to reinforce another stereotype. :) And as a former Warhammer player, I know of what I speak. Hehe.

    As for your “New York is not a city” and “a foot is not a measurement of distance”... I can’t tell if you’re being ironic? Because (and stop me if I’ve missed something) New York is a city (one so nice they named it twice) and a foot is a measurement of distance. You’ve really got to stop assuming that knowledge starts and ends with Wikipedia. ESPECIALLY as when you’re typing these comments you’re sitting in the largest library in Victoria! Get out of your chair and go and look in some books! :)
