OK, so we had our 3 celebs that died...Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson...
Then yesterday I get on the computer to check email, pull up MSN and I see in the headlines that we have another death. I think I was more stunned and saddened by this last one moreso than any of the other ones...Billie Mays died yesterday!! His poor wife found him dead at home! I loved watching his Pitchmen show on the Discovery Channel and his OxyClean commercials were a trademark staple of the past years!!
So, RIP to Billie Mays, and our family's prayers are with his family. He was a fun guy and seemed like a decent person. I feel sorry for his poor wife! I have never purchaed OxyClean, but I may go buy a small container just to try it out in his honor.
Oh, and this morning, Karyl was in the kitchen with me while I was filling up her water cup and in the other room was one of his commercials playing...out of nowhere she stops what she was saying and repeats the tagline from the commercial "KaBoom....the power to get out touch stains" or whatever it is he says in the commercial!! It cracked me up that she randomly decided to repeat that!! We do own some Kaboom, although it doesn't work that well....
UPDATE: So we completed our second trio of celebrity deaths this weekend....before Billie Mays we had an beautiful actress named Gail Storm and a comedian from back in the day named Fred Travalena.
Maybe this will be the end of the deaths?? It's the start of a new week so we never know!!

How have you not tried Oxy Clean!?! It works wonders on the stains of little kids and babies! I add a scoop to all my white loads (and towels cause my towels are white too) I add half a scoop to my girls pink/yellows/lights loads. And for bad stains-like baby formula and baby food, I soak the garment in a diluted tub of oxy clean water. Just scrub a little oxy powder where the stain is with a toothbrush, and soak in a warm tub/container/sink of water with a little oxy powder in it. Then wash! It is wonderful. **BUT** It does take out color if concentrated. I don't add it to my dark loads. And the spray stuff is too concentrated too...it took the color out of one of my shirts. So I always add the powder to the water in my loads and not pour it directly on the clothes themselves. So, do try it! It's cheapest in bulk at Costco.
Oxyclean actually does work and it works well!
