Hearing about all this cleaning, I feel tired!
But the clean after advice does make sense.

Why do we say "sweet tooth"? Why don't we say "I have sweet teeth". I can see "such and such a person has a vicious tongue" (none of us, of course), but nobody ever had more than one tongue. Then, I guess, since sweet receptors are located on the tongue, we should talk about having "a sweet tongue", but that might have metaphorical applications like having "a silver tongue" or "a smooth tongue" or "a forked tongue". Ah well, think Sharon and I should stick with saying "we have a sweet tooth". What only one between the two of us!

Below, our garden, picture of Phlox Peppermint Twist, supposedly the first striped Phlox (patented in 2007). Was complaining about this cultivar reverting back to it's darkish pink parent cultivar, but this particular plant is OK.
