<description><![CDATA[So I FINALLY purchased an iphone yesterday. Waited in line for 5.5 hours, but it was totally worth it. Hands down one of the best investments I have ever made.<br />
<br />
The experience was pretty fun as well. The staff was upbeat and really nice, answering questions and getting people really pumped. It was pretty hot so they gave out smart waters, sun tan lotion and lemonaid then t-shirts because they could tell people were getting a little impatient when the servers kept going down.<br />
<br />
I got to the apple store at 7:00am and was # 72 in line. The line then expanded to almost 200, the first guy had been there since 1:30pm the previous day - thats a little too insane for me.<br />
<br />
I decided to swing for the 16gb when I was waiting on line mainly for the fact that i am going to have this phone for two years and with all of the fantastic applications that are out and will be out i wanted to make sure i didn&#039;t run out of space.<br />
<br />
So besides being completely obsessed with the iphone there are few general things which most users are saying it needs:<br />
<br />
copy and paste<br />
MMS<br />
tabbed browsing<br />
and a fuzz / blip application!]]>

<description><![CDATA[I haven&#039;t written in some time but there is something recently that I am extremely passionate about and that being my disdain for hillary clinton. Last night I was literally glued to the television set watching the small percentage gap between Hillary and Barack barely fluctuate on the edge of my seat, crossing my fingers - please please please.<br />
<br />
I&#039;m not really sure when my hatred started but one day I opened my eyes and realized all of the bulls*it that spews out of her mouth. What a volatile, vapid, political robot who reminds me more of a conservative close-minded republican by the second.<br />
<br />
Her antics, her hissy fits and her low road politics - how can anyone agree? praise? admire? RESPECT?<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t understand!<br />
<br />
Bill Clinton was a do nothing president who knowingly allowed Bin Laden to go about his course in the middle east and she has the audacity to say she is going to protect us from the terrorists.<br />
<br />
Clinton supporters assume that since Bill had a great administration that the same must be for Hillary - this wont be so. Bill Clinton had a good administration based on factors that are completely out of his control. The government whether or not you want to admit has barely any control over the economy at all - it is all up to the mega corporations and very few top banks that decide these things for not only the united states but all of the worlds top countries as well.<br />
<br />
We are currently (in) headed into a recession, engaging in two wars, experiencing genocide in multiple nations, experiencing food famin and poverty, home foreclosures in record numbers and unemployment rates that should not exist. We have no universal system of health care at the hands of major drug companies, we are losing our soldiers each day to a war that should have never been waged at the hands of war profiters and we are experiencing the highest fuel prices in the history of man at the hands of Exxon and Mobile executives. These things should not be occurring. We don&#039;t need someone to come into the white house who once sat on the board of Walmart and was for the war - we don&#039;t need someone who acts, lies and takes money from lobbyists (drug companies, weapons manufactures, and oil companies) we don&#039;t need someone who is going to come into the white house with a smile and blood on their hands ... we need someone to wipe that slate clean.<br />
<br />
And that someone is Barack.]]>

<description><![CDATA[I check in on here at least once a week to see how things are going and looking and in the world of fuzz. logging in recently i must say that i was rather impressed at the new home page and &quot;the fix&quot; section ... when i had interned here as an artist advocate (fuzz) was a small but powerful site which was revolutionizing the combination of music industry and social networking. It has grown and continues to grow into a soon-to be staple site for the industry... where reviews, current events and social networking can be found neatly folded together in a little box.<br />
<br />
i&#039;m also stoked at some of the orchard artists being featured; raveonettes, cassettes wont listen...etc<br />
<br />
i am so proud of you guys and how far this site has come along!]]>

<description><![CDATA[So, I made a new mixtape. So, even though I literally haven&#039;t had much time these days to blog you can still get a good idea of what is hitting my ears on my daily commute. Appropriately titled the 6:55 am 165. I would like to try to make one monthly, so check out my feb one.<br />
<br />
Not much is new in my life. Work is going well. Weeks are flying by. I have been writing a lot more. Owlsandwolves is getting serious. Stay tuned. Went out to dinner to COUNTER last night. All my nyc kids check it out. Very good, overpriced of course, but good.]]>

<description><![CDATA[I started my first day of work last monday and since then i have been pretty unreachable/unable to spend hours playing on the internet. This is a real job :( haa. But its going very well so far! Every day I get to meet interesting people, make mistakes which allow me to learn, and work in a dedicated environment. I&#039;ve never had this before in the tangible sense so it&#039;s almost culture shock.<br />
<br />
I really dont have much to say other than I&#039;m kind of mad at Steve Jobs for not announcing a 3G iphone today.<br />
<br />
Hope all is well.]]>

<description><![CDATA[While browsing my favourite program, peel i came across an artist by the name of St. Thomas (Saint Thomas) depending on the album. He was from Norway, absolutely incredible performer. Sounds a lot like Sufjan, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, (also greatly influenced by Elliott Smith) all mixed into this beautifully sad haunting mesh of melodies.<br />
<br />
Reading wikipedia, I read that he was found dead from an overdose in September.<br />
<br />
It made me very sad for a number of reasons, the most selfish one being that I would have loved to see him perform live.<br />
<br />
Please check out Saint Thomas, because like other artists ie: Jeff Buckley I really think his music should go on.<br />

<description><![CDATA[My Space&#039; hoax ends with suicide of Dardenne Prairie teen<br />
<br />
By Steve Pokin Monday, November 12, 2007 5:48 AM CST<br />
<br />
His name was Josh Evans. He was 16 years old. And he was hot.<br />
<br />
&quot;Mom! Mom! Mom! Look at him!&quot; Tina Meier recalls her daughter saying.<br />
<br />
Josh had contacted Megan Meier through her MySpace page and wanted to be added as a friend.Yes, he&#039;s cute, Tina Meier told her daughter. &quot;Do you know who he is?&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;No, but look at him! He&#039;s hot! Please, please, can I add him?&quot;<br />
<br />
Mom said yes. And for six weeks Megan and Josh - under Tina&#039;s watchful eye - became acquainted in the virtual world of MySpace.<br />
<br />
Josh said he was born in Florida and recently had moved to O&#039;Fallon. He was homeschooled. He played the guitar and drums.<br />
<br />
He was from a broken home: &quot;when i was 7 my dad left me and my mom and my older brother and my newborn brother 3 boys god i know poor mom yeah she had such a hard time when we were younger finding work to pay for us after he loeft.&quot;<br />
<br />
As for 13-year-old Megan, of Dardenne Prairie, this is how she expressed who she was:<br />
<br />
M is for Modern<br />
<br />
E is for Enthusiastic<br />
<br />
G is for Goofy<br />
<br />
A is for Alluring<br />
<br />
N is for Neglected.<br />
<br />
She loved swimming, boating, fishing, dogs, rap music and boys. But her life had not always been easy, her mother says.<br />
<br />
She was heavy and for years had tried to lose weight. She had attention deficit disorder and battled depression. Back in third grade she had talked about suicide, Tina says, and ever since had seen a therapist.<br />
<br />
But things were going exceptionally well. She had shed 20 pounds, getting down to 175. She was 5 foot 5½ inches tall.<br />
<br />
She had just started eighth grade at a new school, Immaculate Conception, in Dardenne Prairie, where she was on the volleyball team. She had attended Fort Zumwalt public schools before that.<br />
<br />
Amid all these positives, Tina says, her daughter decided to end a friendship with a girlfriend who lived down the street from them. The girls had spent much of seventh grade alternating between being friends and, the next day, not being friends, Tina says.<br />
<br />
Part of the reason for Megan&#039;s rosy outlook was Josh, Tina says. After school, Megan would rush to the computer.<br />
<br />
&quot;Megan had a lifelong struggle with weight and self-esteem,&quot; Tina says. &quot;And now she finally had a boy who she thought really thought she was pretty.&quot;<br />
<br />
It did seem odd, Tina says, that Josh never asked for Megan&#039;s phone number. And when Megan asked for his, she says, Josh said he didn&#039;t have a cell and his mother did not yet have a landline.<br />
<br />
And then on Sunday, Oct. 15, 2006, Megan received a puzzling and disturbing message from Josh. Tina recalls that it said: &quot;I don&#039;t know if I want to be friends with you anymore because I&#039;ve heard that you are not very nice to your friends.&quot;<br />
<br />
Frantic, Megan shot back: &quot;What are you talking about?&quot;<br />
<br />
SHADOWY CYBERSPACE<br />
<br />
Tina Meier was wary of the cyber-world of MySpace and its 70 million users. People are not always who they say they are.<br />
<br />
Tina knew firsthand. Megan and the girl down the block, the former friend, once had created a fake MySpace account, using the photo of a good-looking girl as a way to talk to boys online, Tina says. When Tina found out, she ended Megan&#039;s access.<br />
<br />
MySpace has rules. A lot of them. There are nine pages of terms and conditions. The long list of prohibited content includes sexual material. And users must be at least 14.<br />
<br />
&quot;Are you joking?&quot; Tina asks. &quot;There are fifth-grade girls who have MySpace accounts.&quot;<br />
<br />
As for sexual content, Tina says, most parents have no clue how much there is. And Megan wasn&#039;t 14 when she opened her account. To join, you are asked your age but there is no check. The accounts are free.<br />
<br />
As Megan&#039;s 14th birthday approached, she pleaded for her mom to give her another chance on MySpace, and Tina relented.<br />
<br />
She told Megan she would be all over this account, monitoring it. Megan didn&#039;t always make good choices because of her ADD, Tina says. And this time, Megan&#039;s page would be set to private and only Mom and Dad would have the password.<br />
<br />
&#039;GOD-AWFUL FEELING&#039;<br />
<br />
Monday, Oct. 16, 2006, was a rainy, bleak day. At school, Megan had handed out invitations to her upcoming birthday party and when she got home she asked her mother to log on to MySpace to see if Josh had responded.<br />
<br />
Why did he suddenly think she was mean? Who had he been talking to?<br />
<br />
Tina signed on. But she was in a hurry. She had to take her younger daughter, Allison, to the orthodontist.<br />
<br />
Before Tina could get out the door it was clear Megan was upset. Josh still was sending troubling messages. And he apparently had shared some of Megan&#039;s messages with others.<br />
<br />
Tina recalled telling Megan to sign off.<br />
<br />
&quot;I will Mom,&quot; Megan said. &quot;Let me finish up.&quot;<br />
<br />
Tina was pressed for time. She had to go. But once at the orthodontist&#039;s office she called Megan: Did you sign off?<br />
<br />
&quot;No, Mom. They are all being so mean to me.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;You are not listening to me, Megan! Sign off, now!&quot;<br />
<br />
Fifteen minutes later, Megan called her mother. By now Megan was in tears.<br />
<br />
&quot;They are posting bulletins about me.&quot; A bulletin is like a survey. &quot;Megan Meier is a slut. Megan Meier is fat.&quot;<br />
<br />
Megan was sobbing hysterically. Tina was furious that she had not signed off.<br />
<br />
Once Tina returned home she rushed into the basement where the computer was. Tina was shocked at the vulgar language her daughter was firing back at people.<br />
<br />
&quot;I am so aggravated at you for doing this!&quot; she told Megan.<br />
<br />
Megan ran from the computer and left, but not without first telling Tina, &quot;You&#039;re supposed to be my mom! You&#039;re supposed to be on my side!&quot;<br />
<br />
On the stairway leading to her second-story bedroom, Megan ran into her father, Ron.<br />
<br />
&quot;I grabbed her as she tried to go by,&quot; Ron says. &quot;She told me that some kids were saying horrible stuff about her and she didn&#039;t understand why. I told her it&#039;s OK. I told her that they obviously don&#039;t know her. And that it would be fine.&quot;<br />
<br />
Megan went to her room and Ron went downstairs to the kitchen, where he and Tina talked about what had happened, the MySpace account, and made dinner.<br />
<br />
Twenty minutes later, Tina suddenly froze in mid-sentence.<br />
<br />
&quot;I had this God-awful feeling and I ran up into her room and she had hung herself in the closet.&quot;<br />
<br />
Megan Taylor Meier died the next day, three weeks before her 14th birthday.<br />
<br />
Later that day, Ron opened his daughter&#039;s MySpace account and viewed what he believes to be the final message Megan saw - one the FBI would be unable to retrieve from the hard drive.<br />
<br />
It was from Josh and, according to Ron&#039;s best recollection, it said, &quot;Everybody in O&#039;Fallon knows how you are. You are a bad person and everybody hates you. Have a shitty rest of your life. The world would be a better place without you.&quot;<br />
<br />
BEYOND GRIEF INTO FURY<br />
<br />
Tina and Ron saw a grief counselor. Tina went to a couple of Parents After Loss of Suicide meetings, as well.<br />
<br />
They tried to message Josh Evans, to let him know the deadly power of mean words. But his MySpace account had been deleted.<br />
<br />
The day after Megan&#039;s death, they went down the street to comfort the family of the girl who had once been Megan&#039;s friend. They let the girl and her family know that although she and Megan had their ups and down, Megan valued her friendship.<br />
<br />
They also attended the girl&#039;s birthday party, although Ron had to leave when it came time to sing &quot;Happy Birthday.&quot; The Meiers went to the father&#039;s 50th birthday celebration. In addition, the Meiers stored a foosball table, a Christmas gift, for that family.<br />
<br />
Six weeks after Megan died, on a Saturday morning, a neighbor down the street, a different neighbor, one they didn&#039;t know well, called and insisted that they meet that morning at a counselor&#039;s office in northern O&#039;Fallon.<br />
<br />
The woman would not provide details. Ron and Tina went. Their grief counselor was there. As well as a counselor from Fort Zumwalt West Middle School.<br />
<br />
The neighbor from down the street, a single mom with a daughter the same age as Megan, informed the Meiers that Josh Evans never existed.<br />
<br />
She told the Meiers that Josh Evans was created by adults, a family on their block. These adults, she told the Meiers, were the parents of Megan&#039;s former girlfriend, the one with whom she had a falling out. These were the people who&#039;d asked the Meiers to store their foosball table.<br />
<br />
The single mother, for this story, requested that her name not be used. She said her daughter, who had carpooled with the family that was involved in creating the phony MySpace account, had the password to the Josh Evans account and had sent one message - the one Megan received (and later retrieved off the hard drive) the night before she took her life.<br />
<br />
&quot;She had been encouraged to join in the joke,&quot; the single mother said.<br />
<br />
The single mother said her daughter feels the guilt of not saying something sooner and for writing that message. Her daughter didn&#039;t speak out sooner because she&#039;d known the other family for years and thought that what they were doing must be OK because, after all, they were trusted adults.<br />
<br />
On the night the ambulance came for Megan, the single mother said, before it left the Meiers&#039; house her daughter received a call. It was the woman behind the creation of the Josh Evans account. She had called to tell the girl that something had happened to Megan and advised the girl not to mention the MySpace account.<br />

<description><![CDATA[One of the best political speeches I have read, I need to find the video!<br />
<br />
Barack Obama&#039;s Address to the Jefferson Jackson Dinner 2007<br />
Veterans Memorial Auditorium<br />
Des Moines, Iowa<br />
November 10, 2007<br />
<br />
A little less than one year from today, you will go into the voting booth, and you will select the President of the United States of America.<br />
<br />
Now, here&#039;s the good news -- <strong>the name George W. Bush will not be on the ballot. The name of my cousin Dick Cheney will not be on the ballot. (We&#039;ve been trying to hide that for a long time. Everybody has a black sheep in the family.) The era of Scooter Libby justice, and Brownie incompetence, and Karl Rove politics will finally be over.</strong><br />
<br />
But the question you&#039;re going to have to ask yourself when you caucus in January and you vote in November is, &quot;What&#039;s next for America?&quot;<br />
<br />
We are in a defining moment in our history. <strong>Our nation is at war. The planet is in peril. The dream that so many generations fought for feels as if it&#039;s slowly slipping away. We are working harder for less. We&#039;ve never paid more for health care or for college. It&#039;s harder to save, and it&#039;s harder to retire. And most of all, we&#039;ve lost faith that our leaders can or will do anything about it.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>We were promised compassionate conservatism, and all we got was Katrina and wiretaps. We were promised a uniter, and we got a President who could not even lead the half of the country that voted for him. We were promised a more ethical and more efficient government, and instead we have a town called Washington that is more corrupt and more wasteful than it was before. </strong> And the only mission that was ever accomplished is to use fear and falsehood to take this country to a war that should have never been authorized and should have never been waged.<br />
<br />
It is because of these failures that America is listening, intently, to what we say here today -- not just Democrats, but Republicans and Independents who&#039;ve lost trust in their government but want to believe again.<br />
<br />
And it is because of these failures that we not only have a moment of great challenge, but also a moment of great opportunity. We have a chance to bring the country together in a new majority -- to finally tackle problems that George Bush made far worse but that had festered long before George Bush ever took office -- problems that we&#039;ve talked about year after year after year after year.<br />
<br />
And that is why the same old Washington textbook campaigns just won&#039;t do in this election. That&#039;s why not answering questions because we are afraid our answers won&#039;t be popular just won&#039;t do. That&#039;s why telling the American people what we think they want to hear instead of telling the American people what they need to hear just won&#039;t do. Triangulating and poll-driven positions because we&#039;re worried about what Mitt or Rudy might say about us just won&#039;t do. If we are really serious about winning this election, Democrats, we can&#039;t live in fear of losing it.<br />
<br />
This party -- the party of Jefferson and Jackson, of Roosevelt and Kennedy -- has always made the biggest difference in the lives of the American people when we led, <strong>not by polls, but by principle; not by calculation, but by conviction;</strong> when we summoned the entire nation to a common purpose -- a higher purpose. And I run for the Presidency of the United States of America because that&#039;s the party America needs us to be right now.<br />
<br />
A party that offers not just a difference in policies, but a difference in leadership.<br />
<br />
A party that doesn&#039;t just focus on how to win but why we should.<br />
<br />
<strong>A party that doesn&#039;t just offer change as a slogan, but real, meaningful change -- change that America can believe in.</strong><br />
<br />
That&#039;s why I&#039;m in this race. That&#039;s why I am running for the Presidency of the United States of America -- to offer change that we can believe in.<br />
<br />
<strong>I am in this race to tell the corporate lobbyists that their days of setting the agenda in Washington are over.</strong> I have done more than any other candidate in this race to take on lobbyists -- and won. They have not funded my campaign; they will not get a job in my White House; and they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I am President.<br />
<br />
<strong>I&#039;m in this race to take those tax breaks away from companies that are moving jobs overseas </strong> and put them in the pockets of hard working Americans who deserve it. And I won&#039;t raise the minimum wage every ten years -- I will raise it to keep pace so that workers don&#039;t fall behind.<br />
<br />
That is why I am in it. To protect the American worker. To fight for the American worker.<br />
<br />
I&#039;m in this race because I want to stop talking about the outrage of 47 million Americans without health care and start actually doing something about it. I expanded health care in Illinois by bringing Democrats and Republicans together. By taking on the insurance industry. And that is how I will make certain that every single American in this country has health care they can count on. And I won&#039;t do it twenty years from now. I won&#039;t do it ten years from now. I will do it by the end of my first term as President of the United States of America.<br />
<br />
I run for President to make sure that every American child has the best education that we have to offer -- from the day they are born to the day they graduate from college. And I won&#039;t just talk about how great teachers are -- as President, I will reward them for their greatness -- by raising salaries and giving them more support. That&#039;s why I&#039;m in this race.<br />
<br />
I am running for President because I am sick and tired of Democrats thinking that the only way to look tough on national security is by talking, and acting, and voting like George Bush Republicans.<br />
<br />
When I am this party&#039;s nominee, my opponent will not be able to say that I voted for the war in Iraq; or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran; or that I supported Bush-Cheney policies of not talking to leaders that we don&#039;t like. And he will not be able to say that I wavered on something as fundamental as whether or not it is OK for America to torture -- because it is never ok. That&#039;s why I am in it.<br />
<br />
As President, I will end the war in Iraq. We will have our troops home in sixteen months. I will close Guantanamo. I will restore habeas corpus. I will finish the fight against Al Qaeda. And I will lead the world to combat the common threats of the 21st century -- nuclear weapons and terrorism; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. And I will send once more a message to those yearning faces beyond our shores that says, &quot;You matter to us. Your future is our future. And our moment is now.&quot;<br />
<br />
America, our moment is now.<br />
<br />
Our moment is now.<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t want to spend the next year or the next four years re-fighting the same fights that we had in the 1990s.<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t want to pit Red America against Blue America; I want to be the President of the United States of America.<br />
<br />
<strong>And if those Republicans come at me with the same fear-mongering and swift-boating that they usually do, then I will take them head on. </strong>Because I believe the American people are tired of fear and tired of distractions and tired of diversions. We can make this election not about fear, but about the future. And that won&#039;t just be a Democratic victory; that will be an American victory.<br />
<br />
And that is a victory America needs right now.<br />
<br />
I am not in this race to fulfill some long-held ambitions or because I believe it&#039;s somehow owed to me. I never expected to be here. I always knew this journey was improbable. I&#039;ve never been on a journey that wasn&#039;t.<br />
<br />
I am running in this race because of what Dr. King called &quot;the fierce urgency of now.&quot; Because I believe that there&#039;s such a thing as being too late. And that hour is almost upon us.<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t want to wake up four years from now and find out that millions of Americans still lack health care because we couldn&#039;t take on the insurance industry.<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t want to see that the oceans have risen a few more inches. The planet has reached a point of no return because we couldn&#039;t find a way to stop buying oil from dictators.<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t want to see more American lives put at risk because no one had the judgment or the courage to stand up against a misguided war before we sent our troops into fight.<br />
<br />
I don&#039;t want to see homeless veterans on the streets. I don&#039;t want to send another generation of American children to failing schools. I don&#039;t want that future for my daughters. I don&#039;t want that future for your sons. I do not want that future for America.<br />
<br />
I&#039;m in this race for the same reason that I fought for jobs for the jobless and hope for the hopeless on the streets of Chicago; for the same reason I fought for justice and equality as a civil rights lawyer; for the same reason that I fought for Illinois families for over a decade.<br />
<br />
Because I will never forget that <strong>the only reason that I&#039;m standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. Stood up when it was hard. Stood up when it wasn&#039;t popular. And because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. And then a few thousand stood up. And then a few million stood up. And standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.</strong><br />
<br />
That&#039;s why I&#039;m running, Iowa -- to give our children and grandchildren the same chances somebody gave me.<br />
<br />
That&#039;s why I&#039;m running, Democrats -- to keep the American Dream alive for those who still hunger for opportunity, who still thirst for equality.<br />
<br />
That&#039;s why I&#039;m asking you to stand with me; that&#039;s why I&#039;m asking you to caucus for me; that&#039;s why I am asking you to stop settling for what the cynics say we have to accept. In this election -- in this moment -- let us reach for what we know is possible. A nation healed. A world repaired. An America that believes again. Thank you very much everybody.]]>

<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s not that I totally despise cleaning but I haven&#039;t grown up enough to shake my attitude of &quot;if it doesn&#039;t mold, then there is no urgency to clean it up, if no one is coming over, than no one will ever know the disaster I am living in.&quot;<br />
<br />
My room constantly looks like some bomb went off and the shrapnel was made of fabric. Clothes strewn everywhere, a bra hanging from a lamp, shoes piled sloppily on top of one another, my keyboard crookedly leaning against the wall, fighting to keep its balance.<br />
<br />
This is the way I live my life. Purposely a lot chaotic, purposely a bit unorganized, but I know where everything is. The post-its? Underneath the old bills and pay-stubs in the top drawer...the scissors? underneath old broken CD cases, check the cigar box hidden in the back for my most personal secrets, looking for a book? categorized by topic on the shelves bending from the weight.<br />
<br />
Do you ever find yourself doing things like this? Making your life a little messy just to clean it up, a little out of ordinary to make it not seem so ordinary?<br />
<br />
The whole entire purpose of this blog, was to recommend a product. I honestly have no idea where the last few paragraphs came from. I don&#039;t like cleaning. I have a disdain for products that aren&#039;t natural and cannot be put back into the environment. So, finally I have invested in &quot;Method Flushable All-Purpose Cleaning Wipes&quot;. They have changed my life. No longer is the drain around the sink caked with the chalky residue of my organic aloe-vera kissmyface toothpaste, no longer do my long brown hairs cling to the side. They have fallen victim to my new favorite thing: bio-degradable wipes.<br />
<br />
Check them out. Use them. Feel good about cleaning and making a difference.<br />
<br />
The whole point is, now when I clean it isn&#039;t just for my personal aesthetic gain, but for the environment as well. Now there is a reason, now there is a purpose to clean. And it makes me feel good.<br />
