Homeowner Forum / Cleaning / August 2005Vanish Toilet Bowl Crystals
I can't find it in the supermarket. Has it been discontinued? > I can't find it in the supermarket. Has it been discontinued? A Froogle search only brings up liquid and "drop in" Vanish products. Hi James Without getting into another long discussion like we did with the various Windex brand products available, suffice it to say that you want the VANISH brand made by SC Johnson, Inc., Not the ones made by Drackett, Reckitt-Benckiser (formerly Reckitt-Coleman), or JohnsonDiversey. The one made by SC Johnson, Inc. is "Vanish Crystal Toilet Bowl Cleaner"! Since all the companies have merged under one umbrella, THEY control where they will distribute certain products. Like ConAgra bought out both LaChoy and Chun King, so your store or area will only have one or the other available. I hate LaChoy so have to import Chun King from California when I want some. It's still made, just not distributed across in-house competing areas. If anybody knows where I can find some Maurice Lenell's Almonettes (a cookie) I would like to know what area they are still distributed in. TTUL Gary > Hi James > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > The one made by SC Johnson, Inc. is "Vanish Crystal Toilet Bowl Cleaner"! The OP is looking for Vanish Crystal Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Why confuse the issue talking about other Vanish products? > Like ConAgra bought out both LaChoy and Chun King, so your store or area > will only have one or the other available. I hate LaChoy Perhaps you should have posted this in alt.flame. > If anybody knows where I can find some Maurice Lenell's Almonettes (a cookie) > I would like to know what area they are still distributed in. I'm sure everyone here knows,the Almonettes is the name manager Maurice Lenell gave the Dixie Chicks so he could get them a gig at Dubya's Second Inaugural Ball. If you're looking for a gullible audience, perhaps you should try alt.troll.  SignatureUntil next time, Marcey >The OP is looking for Vanish Crystal Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Why confuse >the issue talking about other Vanish products? Because that is all he was finding in his search was the other products, NOT what he was looking for. >Perhaps you should have posted this in alt.flame. Not a bad idea, perhaps I might! ConAgra gets my goat anyhow. >I'm sure everyone here knows,the Almonettes is the name manager Maurice >Lenell gave the Dixie Chicks so he could get them a gig at Dubya's >Second Inaugural Ball. If you're looking for a gullible audience, >perhaps you should try alt.troll. Now that don't make any sense at all Marcey! Maurice Lenell Cookie Company, a division of Hearthside Baking Co, Inc., DOES manufacture a cookie under the name Almonettes. The UPC code for the smaller size package is UPC 704531102. Their cookie bakery is in Norridge, Illinois, but they QUIT distributing their cookies west of the Mississippi for some reason quite a number of years ago. Living close to Illinois in St. Louis, I could drive across the river and pick up a few boxes of cookies. Now that I've moved EAST of the Mississippi I cannot find their cookies anywhere. There are look alikes, but they don't taste alike! I went for many years without Bonomo Turkish Taffy because they quit making it, then for almost 20 years without Chun King Chow Mein because I thought it was no longer available too. A friend told me it's on their store shelves in California, but not LaChoy there. So they sent me a few cans as a gift once and I've been getting it from them regularly. I sent them some LaChoy, but they didn't like LaChoy either! I bought a carton of Turkish Taffy from a company that claims it's like the old Bonomo brand, but it wasn't, so now I'm stuck with a case of the look alike, taste different Turkish Taffy. All I want to know is if anybody here has seen Almonettes on their store shelves and if so, what city was it in. I'll take it from there! TTUL Gary > All I want to know is if anybody here has seen Almonettes on their store > shelves and if so, what city was it in. I'll take it from there! > > TTUL > Gary Sam's Club CVS Dollar Tree Walgreens Hi Choreboy >Sam's Club >CVS >Dollar Tree >Walgreens Which STATE????? We have all of those stores here too, yet none of them have that brand of cookie. Sam's carries greatly different products here than they did in St. Louis and St. Charles. They even differed greatly between area stores as well, which was quite surprising. CVS is new to me here, they don't exist in St. Louis that I know of. We do have a Dollar Tree and Walgreens right up the street from me. Been in both many times. I use a particular store brand of after shave that Walgreens carries. It was plentiful in St. Louis for decades, then they quit carrying it, telling me it was no longer available. After moving down here to Knoxville, I again found it on their shelves. But the St. Louis stores would still say, it's not available. If you let me know what state you are in, it might help me to locate a company that ships the product. Lenell is in Illinois, but apparently they don't sell in Illinois nor West of the Mississippi. TTUL Gary > Hi Choreboy > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > that ships the product. Lenell is in Illinois, but apparently they don't > sell in Illinois nor West of the Mississippi. Your post brought back memories of a secret training base on a bayou near US 278 many years ago, where another SOC cadet introduced me to Almonettes. We used to save quarters in our bedposts to buy them. So I called Lenell at 800 323 1760. I told the lady I live in TN and want to buy some Almonettes. She named those stores. I didn't tell her I live in Knoxville because Homeland Security monitors my calls. Last week they fined me $10,000 for giving out my email address when I ordered some All Natural Cleaning Products from Veriuni. I consider that a slap on the wrist compared to penalties they might have imposed under the Patriot Act. I can't blame them for keeping tabs on me. We were warned at the time, "Loose lips sink armored amphibious swamp submarines." Hi Choreboy Ahem, do we KNOW each other????? Your closing remark sure sounds familiar to me! If you know what the SDS was and Vertical Envelopment, I was stationed over at the Tiller Camp. Thanks for the heads up on the cookies! TTUL Gary > Hi Choreboy > > Ahem, do we KNOW each other????? I think I've seen you around. Are you the one we called Chimney? (If that's you, maybe you wouldn't know what we called you.) > Your closing remark sure sounds familiar to me! For the planned invasion of the country we called Inventor Math. (Do you remember how we were trained to speak in anagrams in case not all the local yokels were local yokels?) > If you know what the SDS was and Vertical Envelopment, I was stationed over > at the Tiller Camp. Good one! Al Qaeda will go crazy trying to find Tiller in an atlas. If they can't find "Tiller" they'll never find S*v*n D*v*ls Sw*mp. > Thanks for the heads up on the cookies! I should call back and ask if they've changed the name to Dixie Chicks. Hi Choreboy More often they called me Stover after Smokey Stover, because I smoked like a fiend. I think, behind my back, they may have called me The Chimney over at the Selma Camp. That was a long long time ago and my old head ain't what it used to be. If your who I think you are, of course I won't mention any names. Did you ever finish that book or research you were working on????? TTUL Gary > Hi Choreboy > > More often they called me Stover after Smokey Stover, because I smoked like > a fiend.

Good. I'd hate to see us both in hot water. > Did you ever finish that book or research you were working on????? The one about etiquette for young ladies in the workplace? Hi Choreboy Cute! I know how to tell if your who I think you are without giving anything away. What was your vehicle at Delmar? TTUL Gary > Hi Choreboy > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > What was your vehicle at Delmar? 5B-27. Hi Choreboy Well, well, well, you answered correctly to be the person I thought you were! Long time no see. Remember my classmates? Did you ever figure out why you know who showed them where they ought not to have be shown from????? Although I've moved from St. Louis to Knoxville, all of my e-mail addys are still valid, I never changed ISP's when I moved. Ruth passed away and I remarried a little over 4 years ago now to a cute little southern belle named Debi. Now, if I was only 30 years younger eh! TTUL Gary > Hi Choreboy > > Well, well, well, you answered correctly to be the person I thought you were! > > Long time no see. I'm a master if disguise. > Remember my classmates? There are some I don't remember. I think it's for the best. > Did you ever figure out why you know who showed them where they ought not > to have be shown from????? I haven't even figured out that sentence. Homeland Security's usenet monitors must be baffled. On the internet I found out the name of the colonel I soaked. I think that explains why my career took a turn for the worse. > Although I've moved from St. Louis to Knoxville, all of my e-mail addys are > still valid, I never changed ISP's when I moved. > > Ruth passed away and I remarried a little over 4 years ago now to a cute > little southern belle named Debi. Debi Cakes are popular around here. > Now, if I was only 30 years younger eh! Gerald Ford would be president! Hi Choreboy All I can say is you must have gotten pinned down just as hard, if not harder than I did after our long round of e-mails a few years back. I just had a knock at the door and a stern refresher warning about the same time you disappeared. I never understood why everything was so hush hush, other than it was a big waste of money and an even bigger flop. But as you know all to well, it's still under the carpet! Nonetheless, it was still great bumping into you again. Big Brother is STILL watching us! TTUL Gary > Hi Choreboy > > All I can say is you must have gotten pinned down just as hard, if not harder > than I did after our long round of e-mails a few years back. I think I convinced them it was your fault. > I just had a knock at the door and a stern refresher warning about the same > time you disappeared. We're lucky that was before the Patriot Act. > I never understood why everything was so hush hush, other than it was a big > waste of money and an even bigger flop. shhhhhh! > But as you know all to well, it's still under the carpet! I hope FH doesn't find out. He'll tell everyone at Walmart. > Nonetheless, it was still great bumping into you again. Were you driving the vehicle that backed into my starboard louvers? They were much too lenient with your ground guide. > Big Brother is STILL watching us! I find it reassuring to see their van parked out front. I wish I knew their phone number. Hi Choreboy If you remember, all of OUR vehicles turned upside down and sunk. They were not backing anywhere, hi hi..... FWIW: I had talked to someone after you disappeared, they blamed the mess up on the records with the fire on Page. Yeah Right! Isn't their phone number listed in the Video Phone Directory???? TTUL Gary > Hi Choreboy > > If you remember, all of OUR vehicles turned upside down and sunk. > They were not backing anywhere, hi hi..... I'll bet you'll get a reprimand for saying that. If Al Qaeda monitors AHC, they may wonder why our vehicles were designed to sink upside down instead of rightside up. They may start asking the Koreans. It might not seem hi-tech to *you* in this day and age, but discovering the secret could be a big advantage for *them*. > FWIW: I had talked to someone after you disappeared, they blamed the mess > up on the records with the fire on Page. Yeah Right! I think the mess started when S. was transferred. Did I tell you he won a boxing championship? I don't think he ever made it into Professional Wrestling. Wouldn't it be great to get free tickets? R. made quite a stink when he left a piece of human skull in his footlocker. When he got out he became a whacky movie star. All he had to do was act natural. T. is some sort of golf pro. W. used to be a fireman. Then he got into HVAC. M. retired as a fireman. D. drove a truck for his father, then went out west and turned respectable. Can you imagine that? > Isn't their phone number listed in the Video Phone Directory???? I haven't found it. Could you use the resistor color code to post it? >>Hi Choreboy >> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > I haven't found it. Could you use the resistor color code to post it? Bad Boys Rape Our Young Women, But Violet Gives Willingly! Hi Choreboy >I'll bet you'll get a reprimand for saying that.

Wouldn't it be great to get free tickets? Free tickets would be great! I've never seen WrestleBoxing before! Do I see a secret code embedded here S.R.T.W.M.D.????? >I haven't found it.

Were you teaching? I always wanted to be a Tiller girl in my youth, I used to practise in the garden for ages, of course I can't get my leg up now, not without suffering the next day. Hi Mrs. B Isn't it amazing the folks you meet in a topic about Toilet Bowl! An old friend happened to appear when it backed up, hi hi..... TTUL Gary > Hi Mrs. B > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > TTUL > Gary Maybe it backed up because Peggo flushed a donut.

I'm pretty sure she's the one who helped Homeland Security find Gary, who hasn't told us how he was treated at Guantanamo. I think that's why FH has been more careful lately not to violate the charter. Remember the days when he thought they couldn't catch him? >> >> >> Hi Mrs. B >> >> >> [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > FH has been more careful lately not to violate the charter.

Yet there they sit, all day and all night! TTUL Gary > >> >> >> Hi Mrs. B > >> >> >> [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > TTUL > Gary Peggo has stopped posting. I guess the EPA has her in custody by now. I imagine an alert neighbor phoned them after she planted those trees to hide her house. I'm always dusting off the donuts neighbors drop and asking them not to phone the authorities if they see me doing something suspicious. >Hi Mrs. B > >Isn't it amazing the folks you meet in a topic about Toilet Bowl! > >An old friend happened to appear when it backed up, hi hi.....
