Thank You
I'm unable to comment on Suburban Banshee's site so I'll post this here.
As the majority of our readers are happily unconcerned with such matters, we have opted to provide the following compensatory visual content as a professional courtesy.

Did it work for you? Outstanding, if so!

You are welcome. It is a pretty useful home remedy, and I was also startled that something so effective isn't more known. (Although it may be one of those things that Greatgrandpa and Greatgrandma knew all about, and just didn't talk about in public.) I gather that normal-strength mint teas help against them forming, too.
PS. I think I found out why you and another commenter have not been able to post comments. It looks like the anti-spam system marked both of you as spam, and I was finally able to find some comments that got marked that way and unmark them. I hope the same thing hasn't been happening to other people. (And I don't know why I couldn't find them before in my anti-spam pile. Wordpress is weird.)

The day the whales were saved!
It has been puttering along since February and I had not been checking it regularly. This was a dreadful mistake on my part as it is a really cool site.
It has technophilia, without any disemvoweling.

Blogging on the Edge
Suburban Banshee, not content to limit herself to publishing scholarly translations of medieval texts, has decided to blog dangerously. Specifically, she's stumbled upon and posted about forbidden knowledge. Knowledge so forbidden that the Times Literary Society has removed it from its website.
In stark contrast to those cowardly quislings, Suburban Banshee defies the dread Dervishes of decapitation by keeping the intriguing apostasy up on her blog.
In short, certain Quranic texts have recently been dated too early... possibly before Mohammed started hearing voices from Gabriel.
The manuscript in question appears to be the one discussed
here (which is a fascinating find in any event as it predates the 3rd Caliph's destruction of all versions of the Quran not his own).

How about the stairway to enter Shibusen in
Soul Eater?

As a native-born Pittsburgher, which has a number of
public stairways of similar vertigiousness, I have to ask - where are the handrails? You lose your balance on that sucker, it's a long way down without anything to grab other than bits of masonry.

Stillwater, MN, has the "thousand steps of doom", right near a bar named
Cat Ballou's...
