I didnt change anything in the posted htaccess. I copied it directly as you see it in the post and then saved it as .htaccess text file the using my ftp I moved it over into my drupal site, I then deleted the current htaccess and then renamed the .htaccess text file that I made as the .htaccess I posted below the .htaccess file that im using that enabled me to use clean urls.
