Screaming Bean
Monday, March 20, 2006

My life is punctuated with bouts of looking for things. My only problem is I seem to start looking for an item about 6 months before everyone else. Sushi tableware sets? Ubiquitous now, but 6 months ago I couldn't even find chopsticks rests. It's gladdening to know I'm a trend setter, but at the time when I'm hunting it's maddening. The newest hunt isn't something decorative, but rather something necessary.

Do you have a fireproof safe at your house/apartment? We do. It weighs alot and it lets us keep our important papers safe. What we didn't know when we bought it is that most consumer safes are made with a moisture laden cement mixture within its walls. It helps on the fireproofness but what it also does is create it's own little weather system in its air-tight core. We were looking for a specific paper in the house yesterday and decided the safe might be a place to look. We didn't find the paper but we did find mold. Now, it's not our house because I'm surprised the amount of static electricity formed here hasn't set the rugs on fire. Humidity is so not a problem. But in our safe? Plenty humid. So now the hunt is on for a dessicant. Went to Lowes but the items there are for entire basements or closets, not for a small household safe. Target? Nada. Staples? Nope. But then we remembered, what about shoes? You know when you buy new shoes you get those little silica gel packs that they tell you not to eat. That's just the ticket, but we need more. So where did I turn? EBay. Cause if it's something weird it's got to be there. And it is. So now I have 50 little packs of silica winging their way across the country. So think of this as a public service announcement. Beware of mold in your safe. Moldy diplomas are not cool.
