I just hung a new shower curtain, how many brain cells will the fumes kill?

[Pierre.Suave]

Poll question: I just hung a new shower curtain, how many brain cells will the fumes kill?

[petronius]

1. How many you got?

:shrug:

[Pierre.Suave]

5. not many left

I have destroyed them with loud volume Jazz...

[LeftyMom]

2. I heard that's how Michelle Bachmann got started.

[Pierre.Suave]

4. rofl

:scared:

[azmouse]

3. What are these brain cells of which you speak?

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Why put up a vinyl one? There are beautiful, wonderful cloth ones now.

As to brain cells, I'll say about 10%, so that's - what - 15?

[Pierre.Suave]

9. HAHA

the vinyl goes on the inside, the cloth on the outside to look pretty.

[Maine-ah]

21. I have a water repelling cloth shower curtain.

got rid of the vinyl liner because I couldn't take the smell.

[Pierre.Suave]

23. They make those?

I may need to go look for one.

[Muttocracy]

34. yeah, water doesn't really get through cloth ones unles you're taking a REALLY long shower

and you can toss 'em in the washing machine once in a while (on their own, plenty of soap already!)

[AirmensMom]

37. They actually make cloth ones

that go on the inside. That's what we use.

[Pierre.Suave]

38. I guess I will go get one of those

and breathe safely.

Thanks!

[AirmensMom]

39. They cost a bit more,

but you can wash them, so they last longer. Good luck!

[Pierre.Suave]

40. good to know

Thanks for having my back!

:P

[NoPasaran]

7. It only kills the weak ones

[Pierre.Suave]

10. oh, good to know.

:P

[Pierre.Suave]

11. oh, good to know.

:P

[MrScorpio]

8. It's not the brain cells that you have to worry about

It's about what the hormones are doing to you

[Pierre.Suave]

12. lol

:scared:

[MrScorpio]

13. And of course, I bullshit you not

[Pierre.Suave]

14. Great

just great...

Thanks for the link MrScorpio

[MrScorpio]

15. It's the same stuff that makes up that "New Car Smell"

We're all fucked, dude

[Pierre.Suave]

16. well then, in that case

I suppose I should go out with a smile on my face then...

[HopeHoops]

17. If the shower curtain was made in China...

... you are already dead but don't know it yet. So are the children who made it.

[Pierre.Suave]

19. I do not know where it was made

but China is a good guess.

[HopeHoops]

27. Then you are dead.

Should I send flowers or do you have a designated charity?

[Pierre.Suave]

30. I will let you know...

:P

[Taverner]

18. They will not kill brain cells - BUT THEY WILL KILL OLFACTORY NERVES

Certain PVC Plastics can obliterate your sense of smell

Happened to my cousin - he's an electrician. Turns out one of the compounds they used for plastic did just that.

[Pierre.Suave]

20. Great

now I have that to worry about too...

:banghead:

[Taverner]

22. Of course, it might just be harmless plastic

My worry is pumping gas

[Pierre.Suave]

24. Just don't smoke

while pumping gas, that is really not a good idea.

[Taverner]

25. Yes - and participating in a botle rocket war is a bad idea too

[Pierre.Suave]

26. While pumping gas

it could be epic!

:P

[Taverner]

28. Wake me up - before you go-go...

[Pierre.Suave]

29. Do you want to be there to film it?

:rofl:

Wow, that video was interesting...

[tigereye]

31. I have a friend who's a professor of chemistry, and he was saying he avoids

some of the weird chemicals that are used in dentistry, as well as in some household products.


It's the weird smell of kid's toys that used to freak me out, I used to set them outside to outgas, or whatever, or toss em.

[Xipe Totec]

32. Don't worry about your brain cells

Worry about your sperm count.

[InkAddict]

33. Don't worry-what brain cells the fumes don't kill, the water in

your shower will attack on a broader front, if unfiltered of the toxic chlorine and trace carcinogens, which is absorbed through your naked skin causing free radical cumulative damage...

[Skittles]

35. LOL Jason....you? brain cells?

:rofl:

I WILL KICK YOUR ASS

[Pierre.Suave]

36. you and what army Skittles?

:P

[Bertha Venation]

41. God, don't you just hate that?

:puke:

[Pierre.Suave]

42. yes

I sure do.

How are you today? Well I hope.

[Bertha Venation]

43. Can't keep my eyes open, worried about Mrs. V.

But other than that - peachy. Thanks for asking. :)

You?

[Pierre.Suave]

44. Is she not with you?

And how is her wrist? progressing?

[Bertha Venation]

45. She's at home, I'm at work.

She's in a great deal of pain, and out of pain drugs. We see the doc tomorrow to have the pins removed and a fiberglass cast put on. Will know how her wrist is doing then. But the pain... jesus.
