      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
      The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
      - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
      - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

    I had one in an apartment and every tenant hated getting in and out and cleaning all around it. It took 3 shower curtains and a ceiling mounted shower curtain rod to contain the water from the shower. I eventually gave it away and it was in perfect condition and over 90yrs old, Huge decorative claw feet and still no one wanted to pay even 10 bucks for it. That thing worked and sucked, all at the same time.

    Respirators during the spraying but i guess Richie's lungs are safe from all the v.o.c.'s as soon as the application is done, the clouds of overspray are harmless don't ya know. Maybe he's got stories of an uncle from the 20's who applied the original porcelain on tubs with a cigarette in his lips.
