Hence more and more hotels, gyms, schools, etc., are switching to them for ease of housekeeping.
My son switched to body wash just for this reason. He got tired of cleaning the scum in his shower and tells me that there is little to clean now. He used to clean it weekly and now does it monthly and it still takes about half the time he used to spend once a week.
I may have to turn in my 'man card' but I use Oil of Olay. I find that it is much nicer and doesn't leave any kind of a film. I used to buy it at Costco, but they only carry Dove now so I get it at Wally World.
I am in love with Montana. For other states I have admiration, respect, recognition, even some affection, but with Montana it is love.... It seems to me that Montana is a great splash of grandeur....the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda. Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans. Montana has a spell on me. It is grandeur and warmth. Of all the states it is my favorite and my love.
