    • That you don't scrub bathtubs with steel wool and "Le Scrub" when you can't find a sponge.
    • That Nascar cars don't have headlights or grills. They are decals.

    I knew the first one... but not the second .

    I learned... not to judge someone by a voice. I got a call from a real estate agent about a house I sent an inquiry online .. he had the sexiest accent and deep voice... then after slightly flirting on the phone with him... I googled his phone number, then googled him... he looks like a redheaded humpty dumpty with a pink face...

    I fucked up my tub.

    And yeah, voices are deceiving. I have heard people who sounded hot on the phone only to see them and be like, "Eww".

    I destroyed a sink with a combination of generic K-Mart Drano and generic Big Lots Drano. It turned the stainless steel looking sink green. It corroded it and the smell was horrible. It took days to defume. I thought I was going to have to call the fire department AND the sink was stll clogged. I got my deposit back though.

    Heh... found the post (spelled Drano wrong)

    Never mix generic Big Lots Draino with generic K-Mart Draino. The combination can result in an explosion in your pipes that spews forth green caustic chemicals, causing you to evacuate your apartment in your fucking pajamas. :(

    2 days and I can still smell the chemicals. It ate the finish off of my stainless steel sink. The fucked up thing is that the kitchen sink is STILL fucking clogged.

    The two of you crack me up. Pukey, you can get a kit from Home Depot, or Lowes, that can refinish the tub. If its the old heavy ass porcelain coated one. Some of the newer ones you can actually use paint.

    Odd.

    NASCAR cars dont have windshield wipers or stereos either. Or air conditioning, or heat. And they are anything but stock cars.

    I don't know what it is. Some kind of steel I think. When I gutted the tubwell I was gonna replace the tub but didn't since there wasn't anything wrong with it. The guy who installed the tile told me what it was and I was thinking he said steel. Enameled steel?

    It just left like a gray patch in one section. I'm an idiot.

    If it's old old, its probably cast iron. With the layer of enamel on the tub side.

    I don't know if it is original to the house. It was built in 1960. The tub didn't look bad or old which is why I left it alone because replacing it would have involved going without a tub for even longer and possibly cutting into the wall. Neither of which sounded like fun for something that wouldn't have made much of a cosmetic or functional improvement.
