[Nfb-krafters-korner] St Patrick's Day dishcloth

Mon Mar 11 00:05:31 UTC 2013

Hi Annette,
Okay, here is my most recent bleach story.

We went to Sams last week and bought a case of bleach. I have others that can use it. lol

It was two big bottles in a box. Well, my Granson put it on the kitchen floor. Gary picked it up and carried it to the basement and looked at his clothes. he had several spots on him. We found bleach dried on the kitchen floor and a mess in the basement by the laundry room. Now, he was the one I trusted to use bleach for me. 

It looks like there is a leak at the top of the bottle. so a careful person can use it. lol But I never had my hands on it and there is still a mess. lol
