Amen, Sistah! LMAO! It's already on my grocery list!

I wish my mother had known about that. She thought turpentine was good for sore throats, followed by garling with warm salt water. Bleccchhh!!!!

Salt water IS good for throats....but turpentine??? That's just wrong!

Turpentine is good for getting goldbrickers up and about. :(

"Goldbrickers"??

Yup, you know, layabouts, slugabeds, ferrisbuellers, kids who are just trying to get out of going to school or Grandma's or yardwork or what have you.

ah ha never heard that expression but I'm gonna use it in class tomorrow haha see who gets it. We call goldbrickers apathetic college students haha.

I have been using that mix to clean my cages for awhile- works great!

:) I thought that might be what it was, Marla...but had never heard that particular phrase before. Hehe...Let us know if anyone gets it, Jonah!

I don't remember exactly where I picked that expression up, but I do know it was a number of years ago. I'm curious if any of Jonah's folks will recognize it, too.

I did a Google search, and did find a few references to the term: one, two (with an explanation of origin), three (in an imaginary conversation), and four (in an article about employee-from-hell types).
