Introducing The True Clean Towel

So, I'm watching "Chelsea Lately" last night when the round table discussion included a nifty new item that just hit the market: True Clean Towel. Thanks to True Clean Towel, you no longer have to be stressed out over whether or not you are drying your face with the portion of the towel that you just dried your ass with. I mean after The Great Washcloth Debate, I didn't think that this argument could advance any further, but here we are.

If you're wondering whether or not I'll be placing an order or not, I'm not sure , but I'm thinking about it. Just in case you are interested as well, here is the link for ordering your own True Clean Towel: http://truecleantowel.com/true-clean-towel-slate.html/

I guess it's true what they say: Necessity is the mother of invention.

The Great Washcloth Debate

How many washcloths do you use? An innocent, yet loaded question. Your answer could bring silent judgements against you from your closest friends. The rule of thumb is that you usually have two: one used exclusively for the washing of your face and the other for the washing of your body. Simple, right?

Last month, my Work BFF told me the following tidbit while we driving along: "When I go away in trips with my friends, I always call housekeeping and ask for extra linens. I always make sure that everyone in the room has access to two washcloths. If someone doesn't make use of both of their washcloths, I get deeply offended." She was kidding about being deeply offended, but I totally understood where she was coming from. There is no way in hell that you should be using the same washcloth on your face as you do on your ass. Point blank. And if you are (I'm not judging), you should keep that bit of information to yourself.

Shortly after my conversation with Work BFF, I recounted that story to another co-worker. As I was talking, I noticed that she was getting this panicky look across her face. When I asked her what was wrong, she said to me, "Are you serious? You use more than one washcloth? Really? I only use one." Although I was unsettled, didn't judge. She then proceeded to call up several of her friends and take an impromptu poll. As it turns out, all of her friends that she called use two washcloths. One of them even told her that you shouldn't be washing your face with the same washcloth that you wash your ass with. I'm just saying!

At the end of the day, to each his own.

What Happened?

It's been nearly ten months since my last blog post, so I guess you're wondering what the hell has happened? Absolutely nothing! I've been too lazy to even bother to post anything. That's the whole truth and nothing but. I changed the name of my blog from "Zero Mind Adventures" to "Comments From The Smoking and Drinking Section" at the inspiration of my work BFF, Patrice. This past weekend, we attended a baby shower that was held at my favorite VFW bar and the bar was opened. Patrice dubbed our table "The Smoking and Drinking Section" which I loved, so I decided to change the name of blog accordingly. Needless to say, The Smoking and Drinking section had that baby shower jumping. Besides, everyone has a better time when a little smoking and drinking is involved during any instance. At least in my humble opinion.

Speaking of drinking, the cost of gas would drive anyone to drink these days. I think that we're coming to the point where one must choose between buying groceries or buying gas. Is it just me or do the prices seem to change hourly? Case in point, yesterday on my way to work, the gas station across the street had regular gas priced at $3.59 per gallon. By the time I left work, that same gas was $3.63. Two weeks ago, I was in New Jersey and the gas was $3.27 per gallon. I almost fainted.

I've developed a gas strategy. For one thing, I try not let me tank go under half. I have a 22 gallon tank, so you do the math. I also try to only purchase my gas at warehouse clubs like Sam's or Costco. Despite what the prices are at regular gas stations, their gas always seems to be cheaper. I also downloaded an app on my phone called "Gas Buddy", which tells you where to find the cheap gas in your location. Desperate times, call for creative measure

So tell me what your gas strategy is.

Until the next time, peace and blessings.
