Plumbing Problems
The plumbing in the Vatican is terrible. I knew the plumbing was old, but you wouldn’t believe what I have to put up with each day.
Not only is the water pressure horrible, but my shower water is either scalding hot or freezing cold. It’s tough to find that balance on the shower knob. One degree to the right or left will leave me shivering cold or jumping out of the way. I haven’t quite mastered it yet.
My sink also clogs up every week. One of my Cardinals suggested that I stop shaving in front of the sink. He thinks my hair is clogging the drain. I’ve taken his advice and started shaving in the shower.
Shaving in the shower is a much different experience. I bought one of those “fog proof” mirrors, but the darn thing doesn’t even work. The mirror is always foggy—-with or without the water running. I end up having to shave blindly and pray that I don’t cut myself.
Such is the life of a Pope in the old Vatican.

Cleaning a mirror with anti-freeze will keep it from fogging up.
Here is a trick that scuba divers use to prevent their masks from fogging up underwater.
Spit on the mirror. Do not hawk a loogie, but apply a generous amount of sliva. Then rub the spit all over the mirror. Then quickly rinse the mirror off. One quick dunk underwater will work.
I use this method on my mask whenever I am in the water - it has never fogged.
Think of it as the ultimate blessing for your mirror!
As the Pope, you could simply not shave and start a new trend. Beards are in and a beard on Pope Joe would blow minds.
Bless your blog.
Most Holy Father,
I have an extra pipe snake, would you like to have it? I've heard that the Rain-X stuff you apply to windshields to make rain water bead and roll off will work wonders with a shaving mirror.

Are you living in a funny farm?
Queen Olive, I suggest my home cleaning services? You've not experienced the best unless you've hired CC Services. Shine your shoes to shine your seating needs; whatever throne you're talking about. The Browns had their intake valves shined, why not you? Don't accept medieval standards as the norm. Come with the best
Sluming. That reminds me of that Paris Hotel where I had to put coins to run the shower.
Plumbing is critical these days, people expect me to take a bath every day and to put on clean underwear every morning. I am really thankful to you for providing this unique information. Please keep sharing more and more information...
