Why do we use shower curtains? They are an essential component of any bathroom. Carefully selecting a shower curtain for your bathroom only helps enhance its look. They are used to protect our bathrooms from a pool of water and serve as a component of safety. Shower curtains help you stop water from spilling out onto the bathroom floor as well as minimize the amount of the water that goes on to the rest of the bathroom.
There are numerous types of shower curtains. Fabric curtains are amongst the popular types on the market. Your best buy would be a cotton shower curtain. Cotton ones are easily washable and simple to clean. They are trouble free and come in all sorts of colors. After they are washed you can just put them back up on the curtain rod and they dry up within no time. Each one comes with a set of simple eco-friendly instructions for washing. This helps keep them looking fresh for years to come. Vinyl doesn’t last too long, but cotton curtains are strong and last for years. The great thing about these cotton shower curtains is that they can be reused after you wash them. This is a very lucrative way of not spending too much money while still having a great looking bathroom that you would be proud to show off whenever you have guests over at your home.
You also get beautiful cotton duck fabric blanched in nature friendly hydrogen peroxide, with rustproof nickel plated brass grommets. This curtain stops water from falling outside your bathing area without a plastic lining. The cotton may get wet, but does not let the water seep out. The cotton curtains air dry very fast, which stops the mold growth that is linked with plastic liners.
After you have finished showering make it a point to spread the curtain out so that it dries fast. Don’t leave it pressed together on one side; it will take ages to dry. Another thing unique about them is that unlike other lightweight plastic liner curtains, these do not have the irritating tendency of fluttering in the wind towards the shower spray, which can be a big irritation for you when you are taking a bath and in need of some relaxation time.
Using cotton shower curtains shows how much you care for the environment. The use of cotton helps reduce the use of chemicals and plastics which in turn means diminishing of landfill mess. It is good to live eco-friendly as it helps the environment as well as helps fight against Global Warming, which is considered as the biggest concern.

Just something I’m working on and would like to get some feedback.I’ve not wrote a story in ages and I’m just kinda toying with it so please try to be easy on me even if it stinks:) And this is just a rough draft so exuse the grammer and punctuation.The gaps are where I haven’t decided on names.Ok so here’s the beginning.
I yawned as I stretched. I still felt achy and tired which was the normal for me. I hadn’t slept well since-well forever it seemed. My dreams are plagued with the same nightmarish images. I felt the familiar sadness inside, the deep dull ache. I sighed and sat up. There was only one window in the room and with the way the sun was shining around the pale floral curtains I figured it was around nine. I sat up and looked at the nightstand to my right where a small lamp and digital clock occupied space. 9:15 the clock read. I looked to my left. There was another nightstand with the same small lamp and against the wall was a dark stained chest of drawers and a small upholstered chair. Directly in front of me was a matching dresser with no mirror. I was grateful for that unfortunately there was a full length mirror in the right corner. I didn’t enjoy viewing myself in the mirror not that I had so much before. The room had aged white panel wall and dark hardwood floor with a small floral rug that matched the curtains. A few pictures dotted the walls. I could tell the room had not been used in awhile. It had a musty smell, not unpleasant, mixed with a new fabric smell. My aunt had bought new bedding and curtains prior to my arrival. I had asked her not to make a big deal of my coming. I was grateful she didn’t go overboard.
I slid out of bed and gathered some clothes and headed to the bathroom across the hall. I wasn’t looking forward to seeing the thin, pale white woman with sunken cheeks and dull blueish eyes. After I showered I brushed my dark hair into a large barrette at the base of my neck. Even my hair was dull and lifeless so there wasn’t much I felt I could do with it. I didn’t feel the need to dress up so pulled on a simple cotton dress and my favorite sandals. I went back to my room and considered unpacking my things but I figured I could do it after breakfast. I sighed once more and headed downstairs.
The smell of coffee mingled with the smell of eggs and bacon and met me before I could reach the bottom of the stairs. I paused and straightened my posture and tried to look less pathetic than I felt. I wasn’t sure that I would be fooling my mother’s only sister. My aunt was very observant and could be outspoken at times. I knew in the conversations I’d had with her she’d been holding herself back. I was grateful and hoped she’d restrain herself this morning. She was sitting at the table when I entered the kitchen.
“Good morning” she greeted me getting up from the table,” Would you like some coffee?”
“Morning Aunt __________” as far as I was concerned there wasn’t going to much good to this morning, “Coffee sounds good.” She handed me a cup from the cabinet. As I poured me a cup as she scooped eggs onto a plate with a few stripes of bacon and sat it on the table.
“You shouldn’t have cooked.” I said as I sat down to the plate.
“Nonsense, “she said handing me a fork, “You need to eat. You’re too thin.”I wondered if she decided to stop holding back. I put a bite of eggs into my mouth and chewed quietly. She was partially right I had lost 20 lbs over the past 2 years. I didn’t have much appetite and food only barely tasted good to me. I looked around the small kitchen. The walls were the same panel as my bedroom except they were painted a pale blue. The cabinets had been painted an off white probably in an attempt to update them.
“Not much has changed since you last time you visited. How long has it been since you’ve been here?” she asked assessing me with her eyes.”5-6 years?”
“Something like that.” I answered. The last time I had been here was for my uncle’s funeral. I felt a sharper stab of sadness at the memory but not for the loss of my uncle but for an even greater loss. I took a sip of coffee to moisten my sudden dry mouth.
“Well I’m glad you’re here. I don’t get much company around here except for ___________.”
“___________________?”I asked surprised and confused. I wasn’t aware anyone else lived here.
“You know the Fosters’ boy."She said figuring I’d remember. I didn’t." I’ve known him and his family ever since I’ve lived here. I hired him to tend the farm after your uncle passed. I couldn’t bear to sell off the animals; your uncle loved them so much. So I let him tend to the farm and reap any profit it makes. He lives in a cabin on some land I sold him across the field there.” She motioned to the large field of young corn growing.
“Oh.” I said taking a bite of bacon and relieved that no one else but us would be living under the same roof. I hadn’t been very good at being social and now living with my aunt was going to be enough for me to deal with.
Yep it’s in my own words.This is the beginning and I’m working up to the backstory as to why this woman in so sad and what happens after….
Oh and I have the idea for the back story I just haven’t written it yet.This beginning is unfinished.

I guess you glossed over the ‘COMPUTER’ part of the list.
You seem to be fond of them, considering you are on one right now.
INTEL and IBM
LOL I live 3 miles from the IBM plant and 5 miles from Maxtor hard drives and 4 miles from Xilinx.
I am well aware that there are MANY computer products produced within the united states…. wrong guy to try and bluff…LOOOL.
Oh yeah Intel makes stuff here too. As do many companies… ever heard of "silicon valley"… man you are dimwitted.

Please read on:
I want to make a male diaper aka tinkle belt aka belly band for my male dogs. Similar to this one :
http://tb.bmcnallydesign.com/prod.html
That one is made with denim and cotton, but I want suggestions on other material. I do plan to insert panty liners when my dogs wear the tinkle belt.
I was thinking of materials such as terry cloth and shower curtain material. Can you think of any others?

Everyone is trying to save money (who wouldn’t?), and for many of us horses are part of the "monthly bills", just like our car payments and mortgages. So, I thought it would both fun and beneficial to ask what others in the equine community are doing to save money with their horses? I use old shower curtains as covers for my show tack. Just staple gun the old curtain to the wall over your saddle rack(s), then pull over the saddles, tuck around tack and viola! My friends at the barn and I have also had a very successful "tack swap meet". We gathered together all of the equipment we no longer used, cleaned it up, and pooled our resources! It saved us all a bunch of money, organized our tack room(s), was fun, and we even got to swap training tips, so it was educational too! Plus it’s green to re-use! I also own my own grooming company and have found that there are some great ways to save grooming dollars. Corn starch is inexpensive and is great for keeping white markings white after a bath, before a show. Just sprinkle on, and brush off with a dandy brush before you go in the ring. Use a bounce sheet to reduce static cling (my experience is that it must be bounce…the other brands I tried didn’t work). Gently glide the sheet in the direction of hair growth along static prone parts like manes, tails and legs. This also helps to smooth down the hair follicle and give a bit of shine. I also do this to me, my dogs, and my horses when we go camping because it seems to help deter the biting black flies. Keep in mind that this not a replacement for fly spray/repellents as they also deter other pests/parasites. Men’s tube socks are awesome tail bags in the summer. The cotton helps to absorb the sweat from the coat and avoid stains, they are totally washable, and inexpensive. Need bands to give your horse’s mane a neat look? Get them from Sally’s beauty supply. They have a myriad of color choices (including the standard horse colors they have at tack shops), come in bulk if needed, are made to not tangle in the hair, and are a fraction of the price. Many human grooming products are safe for animals (but not all), so you may just have everything you need to give your horse a bath and tame his mane/tail in your bathroom cabinet. Most shampoos are the same as ours since shampoo is just detergent, H2O and emollients, so yours may work just fine. Steer clear of anything heavy in waxes (like pantene, fructise, or sunsilk) as they will build up on the coat and can cause skin irritation and even saddle slip. Excessive/inexpensive fragrances are also not recommended as they can cause irritation. If it says "hypoallergenic" or "fragrance free" it’s probably ok. You can also condition their coat with your conditioner too, but the same rules apply as the shampoos. You can make a great de-tangler by taking an inexpensive spray bottle, and diluting conditioner with lots of H2O. When banding or plaiting manes and tails often have flyways. A little pomade or wax you use every day can smooth and protect the delicate hairs, add some sheen, and give a great polished look. Remember that when ever you use human products on horses that they often have more sensitive skin than you, and their sense of smell is stronger than yours. When in doubt call your vet and ask if the product is appropriate. They will usually give you the yay or nay over the phone.
Hey Rob…why answer questions just to get points? I am truly interested in this question, and thought I has some advise to add to others. Knowledge makes the world go round.

Is fleece as guinea pig bedding really as effective as C&C cages says it is?
I have a 2×4 grid cage for my two guinea pigs, and they’re on pine bedding. I hate it! I think I’m allergic to it. I cleaned it out about an hour ago and still I’m sneezing and stuff… It must really stink for them to be living on it!
I heard of this stuff called Zorb used as an absorbing layer… Well, what my main point is, how do I make the pads of fleece, Zorb, and the cotton bottom or shower curtain or whatever it is everyone uses?
How often do I clean it?
Does it effect the Washer/Dryer?
Can I air dry it outdoors?
Does the cage smell bad with this way of bedding?
I also need help on how thick to make the pad. I’m thinking one layer of fleece as the top layer, and then how much of the zorb? Then what is the cotton bottom all about? I know this sounds all silly, but I need to know because my cavies and I are so tired of pine!
Please help us!
