Bath light bar

I went over to visit and discovered something I wish I hadn't. The light bar is integral with the wall medicine cabinet. So now it looks like the entire assembly must be replaced.

OT: Remoaning the good news.

You can visit a local one or call and ask what brands they have, then look up the mfgr's site online to look.

In-house visit by a "Rainbow vacuum" salesperson

We had a visit by a saleswoman who was trying to sell us a $2,000 "Rainbow cleaning system". For just listening, we received a gift of some bed sheet and also a "gift travel certificate" from a company called "Certs, Inc".
