Ricardo and this guy should be sponsored, not by AA, but by the companies. These guys don't have race cars, but should at the very least have a sponsor-ridden racecar suit with their logos all over it.
The last few months, Ricardo has a new passion. It's like nothing I've ever seen before. Well, yes I have. Remember that dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding who thought everything could be fixed with Windex? Well, let's just say, we're going out today to get a squirt bottle. He can use it to his hearts desire.
His new passion: vinegar.
He started talking about all the benefits one day, and then proclaimed he would drink a cup of vinegar/water mixture each day to stay healthy. He talked me into trying it, even mixing mine with a little honey. But when the vinegar ate my stomach lining, I retreated. I need my stomach lining, I'm sure of it.
Then, at lunch with one of his co-workers one day, I discover co-worker is not only having a vinegar cocktail with him, they are buying the vinegar together. Like a married couple. Should I be jealous? And should I be jealous of the vinegar or the co-worker?
When we went to Mexico, he didn't get his mixture. I think he was worried the Mexicans would laugh at us (him). I'm sure they weren't laughing at us because we were the tall freakshow, or that night we were the obnoxiously loud people summoning our bartender every 7 minutes with EL CAPITAN! Yeah, I'm sure the next morning, they weren't laughing at us at all.
It was an all-inclusive, I'm guessing there was vinegar around. I wonder if Mexican vinegar has the same health benefits as American processed FDA approved vinegar. Mexican vanilla is so good. Maybe the vinegar is too. But we'll never know. So, after his vinegar withdrawals, a stop in the nasty smog capital of the world, LAX, and travel, Ricardo gets the worst cold and flu I've ever witnessed.
I personally went and got vinegar at Sam's Club for him. He's back to drinking his breakfast cocktail again. And also boiling some vinegar concoction and breathing the vinegar steam for direct effect.
Other things Ricardo now does with vinegar:
Cleans my coffee pot.
Cleans the windows.
I think he threw some in the laundry the other day.
Steams it.
Drinks it.
I'm pretty sure after he changed the oil in the cars yesterday, he came in and washed his hands with vinegar.
If you have any uses for vinegar, we'd love to hear them. Be nice. Vinegar is nasty on it's own, I don't need any sickos telling me their freakshow stories. So, keep it clean. Like vinegar.
That's how I roll.
I use vinegar to clean fossils. It's good for eating away limestone.

I am currently using it to "deodorize small spaces", "brighten bricks" and "clean piano keys" at my house. Forget wallflowers, it smells lovely here!
For the record, white vinegar is used for all the cleaning purposes, but for consumption, use Apple Cider Vinegar..... mmmmmmmmmmmm good! I'm drinking some right now.
I have HEARD that if you have toenail fungus, you can soak the offended toes in warm vinegar daily, and it will change the ph balance that the fungus requires into something it cannot live in.....so I've heard.
Vinegar baths for sunburn?
Vinegar hair rinse brings out red highlights. Wash smoke saturated clothes in vinegar to remove the smoke odor.

Put dry baking soda in your drain then pour boiling vinegar down it and your drains will be clean as a whistle! I shed A LOT so I'll do it about 3 times a year and have a clog-free living space. No bath and shower at the same time anymore for me.
