I've managed the very basics but I can see how people would easily give up with this

How about that? There is a musical group called The Pork Tornados.
I cannot say much about the group's name except "Pork, the other white meat." It is actually a red meat. I cannot say I ever buy port. I haven't been eating much bacon either over the last year. I did some research on my research.

Because of the serious mouse infestation I had under my oven a couple of years ago I should have at least 20 different diseases after cleaning and disinfecting the oven, and most of them fatal. I also made the horrific mistake of vacuuming up mouse droppings.

Although it might get trapped in the washing machine like the last couple of times. I have to remember to check each day.

The 70s were actually a pretty cool decade.
