    I’ve decided to be nice.

    This is because the blogosphere is full of bang-up, hardcore, high-integrity people who read carefully, consider all sides of an argument before posting, and always check their facts. It would be a dishonor to this wonderful crew if I was to go on complaining and arguing all the time. As I want nothing more than universal brotherhood and understanding, I have to set a good example for the others by behaving in an exemplary fashion.

    It’s the right thing to do, of course.

    Me too! I urge others to join me in taking the Richard Bennett pledge!!!!

    Me too? How about Me 2.0? There’s too much Me 2.0-ism around today. Frankly, Frank, I’d prefer the Gordon Bennett pledge. His brother, apparently.

    Yes, Gary, I too prefer Pledge.

    Although I find making my own “pledge” to be a simple, inexpensive and effective and eco-friendly alternative:

    Basic Polishing Cream Waxing Formula

    * 4 ounces oil (2 1/2 ounces olive oil or jojoba, 1 1/2 ounces coconut oil)
    * 1 ounce beeswax
    * 1 ounce carnauba wax
    * 4 ounces distilled water

    Melt the oils and waxes in a double boiler over medium heat. Remove from the heat, pour in the water, and mix with a hand mixer until thick and creamy. Dab some cream onto a soft cotton rag and rub into the furniture. Buff and polish until the oils are well worked into the wood.

    Shelf Life: 6 months to a year

    Just made some muffins. Hope you like cranberries! Happy Easter!
