1. Exhausted here at home front

2. engineer was here yesterday and gave us the final inspection for the barn and it was O.K.

3. A building inspector came here yesterday and has only been on the job for a couple of months, so we have these minor things (that we really don't have time for) before a reinspection on Thursday morning. These minor things will cost another couple of hundred dollars.

4. We have our friend, who is a plumber to come out today to do the plumbing etc., but do to regulations of codes etc., we cannot hook up the toilet until the final building inspection is done on Thurdsay.

5. We are having an open house on Saturday for the people that helped us with clean up, babysitting, bringing food etc., right after the fire.

6. We are getting pizza and beer for them.

7. We have so much to do before that even happens with electrical etc., I am getting worried for dh, he is working too many hours in a day.

8. It is also the season to take off crops etc., and parts had to be put on the combine before we start on the soybeans. BIL came over and of course, couldn't do it "himself", so Dh was up until 11pm doing this.

9. We keep saying, ok, if we just get through this week, it will be ok, however "this week" keeps getting delayed another week {sigh}

1. I thought EVERYONE knew the verb "to Wargod"

As in:

2. I Wargodded ALL day long, and am exhausted.

3. I never thought I would Wargod that much in my life.

4. How Wargod can do that much Wargodding is beyond me.

5. I wish I could Wargod like Wargod.

6. If I don't Wargod soon, this place will cover me up in dustbunnies.

7. I need to seriously Wargod around here.

8. I better get my butt in gear and Wargod this place up before the company arrives.

9. Schoolmarm Wargodded a LOT when she got back from Germany.

10. Tomorrow I will seriously Wargod this place for sure.

1. My pup chewed up a RED Sharpie pen and the ink is all over my nice white carpet.

2. I'm wondering if even pulling a Wargod will help save this situation!

1. I'm thinking that Silly's carpet must look sorta like a crime scene!

2. I was "on call" today for some rush work and hung out waiting for it, only to discover half-way through the time I was supposed to be working on it that the schedule changed and they had someone else do it last night instead.

3. Of course, they only told me that after I contacted them. Nice.

4. Sometimes being an independent contractor sucks.

1.1 Silly: If there is a dollar tree store near you, they carry a product called "awesome". It's a cleaner and it works like nothing I have ever seen before. I took finger nail polish out of my carpet. It says on the bottle to dilute it, but it works better if you don't. Worth a shot. It's yellow liquid in a clear bottle.

1. I like pulling a major Wargod every once in awhile.

2. I play Wargod everyday for a least 1 - 2 hours everyday. I enjoy doing it most times but it gets on my nerves when my dh adds to my work.

3. I wish it was Friday too.

4. I am soooo excited for Survivor.

5. My favorite Survivor was All-Stars. I fell in love with the Romber romance. I know....I know...

1. Let's see if I can get 6 facts and avoid a schtickle...

2. I just found out that my sister is coming home from Amsterdam for one week before she jumps back onto her cruise ship job. I am sooo excited to see her.

3. This means that my house will need a BIG Wargod treatment. It is not too bad right now, but some corners need dusting and my mini-blinds need a good clean.

4. If anyone has good tips on cleaning mini-blinds (the horizontal kind) could you please stop by my folder? Thanks.

5. Like Spitfire, I too am excited about Survivor! I too liked Rob and Amber. I hope the rumours of the two "twists" are true! Loved last season!

6. I found out today that a life insurance employee/nurse is coming over to my house on Friday to give me a check-over (as opposed to a check-up! LOL.). I am not excited about having to have my blood pressure taken and peeing in a cup, etc. Nothing to hide, but just annoying is all. Ah, the joys of ensuring that there are funds when you die. I dislike red tape.

1. Ya'll are nuts, lol.

2. I've been cleaning all day today. Not only Kota's birthday but my neices are coming to stay tomorrow for five days. I'm guessing I won't have much time, lol.

3. I did a little decorating in the living room for Kota. Tablecloth and balloons, she should love it. We're not doing anything big, just the four of us for dinner and cake, plus she gets to open her last couple of gifts.

4. Have to leave in a few minutes to go pick up the cupcakes that weren't done earlier to take to her class.

5. I can't wait til Survivor starts! I'm hoping its as good as it looks.

6. Serenity, we take our miniblinds down, take them out back, and attack with a water hose, scrub brush, and soap. For us, it's the easiest way.

7. Darren took my car keys to work today. Also took his. I'm having to break into my own house again.

1. Wait until you see the pictures of this ordeal!

2. At first there were just 3 really dark spots

3. I decided to go for the oxiclean first

4. What a disaster!

5. Instead of a few spots I then had a very large circle of fuchsia
first
6. I freaked out and brought out the clorox spray.

7. Then I went next door and begged to borrow my neighbors steam cleaner

8. Here's how things are looking now!

The people at Sharpie have this on their website:

How do I remove a permanent marker stain?

The successful stain removal of ink stains differs from case to case because of the many types of fabrics, colors, inks and time elapsed before stain removal. We cannot guarantee stain removal since many variables can be involved. Testing first is always recommended as well as following both the stain remover and clothing manufacturer's instructions. Following these steps should result in partial or complete removal.

General Rules:

1) Treat stains as soon as possible. Fresh stains can be removed more easily than old ones.

2) Check manufacturer's labels as to fabric content and any special instructions

3) Always test stain removal solution first on a hidden part of the article or on swatch of fabric taken from seam allowance to insure no color loss or damage will occur.

4) Where possible, lay stained article face down on paper towels or clean white cloth and apply stain removal solution to underside of stain so that stain can be removed from the surface instead of pushing it through the fabric. Replace towels or cloth as they absorb stain to prevent stain transfer.

5) If enlisting the aid of a professional laundry or dry cleaner, be sure to indicate what the stain is and the type of fabric.

6) Do not iron stained garments or put in dryer as this may set stain.

* Also try AMODEX STAIN REMOVER for permanent ink: Amodex Products, P.O. Box 3332, Bridgeport, CT 06605, Phone: (203) 335-1255


Another site has a suggestion: http://www.ehow.com/tips_2598.html

3. How to remove sharpie ink stains
Michelle P.
I have these white egyptian cotton sheets I love, and being the klutz I am, I knew one day I would get something on them. Sure enough not a week later I set down my red Sharpie pen and a big red circle appeared on my sheets. I tried everything, and 10 min later it was gone. First i soaked the stain in pure bleach, then sprayed it with half a bottle of hairspray blotting with a towel. This really worked, so if anyone has a similar problem, don't freak out, this actually works.


Hope this helps!

1. I will do 9 facts.

2. Silly, I'm sorry about your carpet and the red sharpie.

3. I need Wargod to come to my house and put some Wargod magic on it.

4. It's starting to get darker at 6pm these past few days.

5. Fall must be around the corner!

6. Fall is my favorite time of year.

7. I love the cool, crisp air.

8. Time to bring out my sweaters.

9. Okay, this will make nine!

1. I am getting reading glasses, and I can't wait. The ones from Kmart give me a headache, not wearing them gives me a headache. Figures....I have to read or work on the computer about 14 or so hours per day.

2. I am flying to North Carolina this morning. I wish that Ophelia would peter out.

3. I am taking a raincoat.

4. My umbrella has soup on it, so a good rain will be great to clean it off.

5. I am going to rebel and wear sandal heels to my conference.

6. This means that I will NOT be wearing panty hose.

7. I may be rethinking that as I actually put clothes in my suitcase in the next hour.

8. I am waiting for my load of laundry to finish.

9. I don't know why I always wait until the last minute to pack.

10. I decided last night to NOT take the artists portfolio with a REAL poster and to do a digital poster on my laptop! That means that I can carry on, I think!

Have a great day!

1. We have inspector coming today for the re-inspection. Hopefully he will ok the barn and we can do the rest of the work in there. The pigs are coming all at once in a week from tomorrow..we have a lot to do between now and then as well as learn how to run this darn computerized feeding and ventiliation system. DH is working until 11 past 2 night and I am very stressed...I know it will work out....but it is getting from here to there that is hard.

1. Wargod - Thanks for replying about the mini-blinds. I was hoping there was some magical method for cleaning them. Ours are metal (came with the house) and I have to watch not to bend them. I will be taking them down tonight and scrubbing them by hand and hose - Did I mention I dislike mini-blinds purely because they are so dang hard to clean and dust?

2. Mameblanche- Schticklers come out of the woodwork and politlely point out when we Factoiders do not keep the numeration of the Facts Thread in order. Schtickles do not hurt - they are just a soft kick in the butt
