Wouldn't plain white vinegar in the wash be effective? Vinegar is a mild disinfectant. But that's when it's used full strength (5% acidity). Thus the reason spritzing counters with vinegar, followed by full-strength hydrogen peroxide is so effective. Vinegar kills one set of germs. Then the hydrogen peroxide is effective on the strains that vinegar doesn't affect. But diluting it in the rinse water diminishes the effect...

These few people have had to live with a more disturbing reality while most people are easily able to accept a seriously flawed explanation of how the three buildings fell on that day. When someone who is trained to detect the truth is shown a boldfaced lie about what has happened they become desensitized to the truth.

Even in a down market, it still should have been worth more than the mortgage.

Here's an even better way to cure problems stemming from Microsoft: http://store.apple.com :-) Here's a better solution and it's much less expensive: http://www.ubuntu.com - Lastdino I was a longtime windows users, and in the fall of 2007 switched to a mac (I dual boot windows as well but only use it for gaming now that MS Money is gone). I had very few problems switching to Mac - everything is very simple to use, and if I...

If I remember correctly, you could not charge a premium to use credit, but you could discount the cost if paying with cash. A subtle distinction. (Perhaps that has since changed; if so, I am unaware.)
