Ugh, I'm running around like the proverbial chicken with its head cut off so I'm not getting around to finishing any post of substance. I have learned one thing that I can share quickly though. I've been finishing painting my living room/kitchen* and discovered some rust stains in my (stainless steel) sink from tin cans I was using to soak paint brushes (plus there were some old ones, I think from soaking old baking pans. Anyway I scoured the net for advice and found this article. The "recipe" called for making a paste from lemon juice and cream of tartar and letting it sit in the sink for several hours. I was a bit skeptical at first, since this sounds more like something you would serve with fish, but it worked extremely well. I will check out more articles to see if I can find some other useful advice.
*I'd call it a great room but I wouldn't want to upset Mindy's delicate balance of humors

This is fantastic. On the note of tips...unclogging old drains:
Pour a cup of baking soda, followed by a cup of white vinegar, down the drain. Plug the opening with an old rag or a stopper and let it bubble away. After a few minutes, rinse with hot water and repeat if necessary.
