Glitter. Glitter everywhere!

Post by Gregory27 »

So my wife was making cookies for our boys' last day of school, and she decided to finish them with edible glitter. It is now EVERYWHERE in the kitchen. Covering the ubiquitous box of wine on our counter, embedded in the handles of the grass shears that I'm working on fixing up, covering the sink. Worse yet, I had just finished buttering my black walnut cutting board. That was where she had her sheet pans. My cutting board is glittery... so glittery. And that stuff will NOT come out. I might have to be resigned to having a sparkly cutting board. Maybe it'll set a new trend?

I feel your pain... I have two daughters who love glitter. It’s the best once it gets on clothes and put into the washing machine. It’s never goes away, it just moves from place to place.

I hear you. I just proudly say “I am dad!” People either get it or don’t.

I've described glitter as a venereal disease many times, because once one person gets it, everyone gets it.

Try using compressed air to loosen it up and a wet dry vac. After 25 years of dealing with malamute hair everywhere it can be worse. A moist sponge does wonders getting malamute hair scooped up.

Man that sounds like work, but worth it. Glitter is the worst. Even our four years crafts from school with glitter are discarded immediately!

Yup, once you have it, it never goes away.

Ugh,
We've only just gotten over a glitter-hit of epic proportions, after an international gift-box came from the mother-in-law. I opened the thing, and POOF! It was everywhere.
Like you say, it's just moved from one place to another... it started in February #facepalm
