Thank you Lori! I'm glad I'm not the only one that wants to know the important stuff!

Apparently a group of girls at school found some kind of tube or container of lipstick or lipgloss in the grass at school and rubbed it on a tree. Then they chased Caleb and a couple of his buddies and rubbed their hands on the boys clothes. I went to get him at class, he's got it all over his shirt and pants (front and back) and asked what the heck he got into. Teacher came out to tell me that the yard duty caught the girls doing it and all were given detention. One got one day the other four ended up with more because they lied to the principal and told her they didn't do it despite the yard duty standing there saying I caught you and the fact that all five still had it on their hands. Caleb, who has a newfound interest in girls, thinks the whole things quite funny. Whole group of girls chased him. *eye roll* Me, I'm looking at it thinking, "Crap, that's some of your better school clothes!" LOL Scooter, they're khaki pants and a kind of mustard yellow colored shirt, don't think the bleach pen would work on those! I'll try the alcohol and dishsoap tonight since I have those at home. If they don't work I'll go look for the folex or lestoil tomorrow. Thanks ya'll!

I laughed when I read this. Then I thought, you know it is so funny how different your perspective is depending on whether the kid is a boy or a girl and who is doing the chasing. As a teen guy, I would have found the idea of being chased by a bunch of fun loving girls very appealing.

Jimmer, but as a father of 2 girls...they better never be chasing boys, right?

Amway has a product called LOC that will take lipstick right out with no problem and will not damage the clothes in any way.

To tell the truth Jimmer, I'm pretty sure he enjoyed it, lol. Girls have become quite interesting for him lately and just last week he had his first real boy girl party. I find it kinda funny to see his reaction, but it also worries me somewhat (not his reaction or girls/boys in general chasing.) The problem I have is that if the boys (or any other kid in that situation) had felt threatened or wasn't really enjoying it and turned the table and knocked the girls down or put their hands on them in any other way, they'd have gotten the same punishment. It's the no hands on rule. If the boys hadn't enjoyed it, they'd have had two choices, sit there and take it til an adult caught wind of it or strike back and take the same punishment and that doesn't seem right to me. In this situation I'm not too concerned about it because I know Caleb and his two friends like the attention from the girls, lol.

These girls these days are so aggressive and unrelenting too. Sometimes I think the tables are turned and it's the girls who bear watching for some stuff rather than the boys.

Anyone have suggestions on how to get hard water stains off my glasses from the dishwasher. I use Cascade and Jet Dry. I was good for a couple years and now the build-up is continually getting worse. I've tried soaking a couple glasses in vinegar and baking soda and that took the murkiness away from them ...at least now I can see through them....but they are still cloudy. Any suggestions?

Do you have a watersoftener? Cuz you can buy special rust reducing salt for it. A friend swears by Reeva (Aldi brand) dishwasher soap. Other than that, I don't have much to offer.

No watersoftener. Reeva must be American because I have never saw it here. Thanks Julie.

Where can I find a review of the movie THE NATIVITY STORY? I am especially interested in finding out if it is appropriate for a 7 year old.

Spit, Landi's suggestion of lime away is a good one . . another product is called CLR . . It's in the same row with the cleansers and dishsoaps at the store.

Thanks...I have both those product in my cupboard and will give it a shot. I never thought of using such a harsh product on my glasses but I guess it can't hurt. I also read in a "household hints" book to run the dishwasher and the tarnished dishes with a packet of tang. That sounds like something to try as well. Thanks everyone!

Ah, another wonderful reason to live in Oregon. We have the softest water in the world. I wouldn't know what a hardwater stain was if it bit me in the butt.

With an Ipod, do you have to use I-tunes for your downloaded music? Is it possible to use Napster instead? Is it much more complicated if you use Napster? I think I understand that any music files on your computer can be loaded into your Ipod. Is that correct? I could borrow somebody's teenager to answer all these dq's but it would just be too embarrassing. Lol!

Spit, I have a water softener, but my water still is hard at times between cycles. I use a powder called Glass Magic in my dishwasher now. No more problems with glasses.

does anyone know a website that will give you a reverse phone number lookup of an unlisted number for free? i see there are plenty of pay for sites and plenty of free sites for listed numbers. the reason i ask is that someone in area code 734 keeps calling me and won't leave a message. i don't answer calls from people i don't know. and, when i do a reverse lookup it says the number is unlisted. i only know one person in that area code and it isn't the number i have for them. if worse comes to worse i can always get someone over in the sheriff's department to run it for me. but, i hate to use my authority to do stuff like that. if they would just leave a message. and, no, i won't waste my cell phone minutes calling them back to see who it is.

I don't have a site that will tell you the person's name if it is unlisted. I doubt that anyone will be able to find one for that purpose. I did see that area code 734 covers South East Michigan: west and south of Detroit, Ann Arbor, Monroe

shoot, well, before i would spend the $14.95 that most sites want to give me that info, i'll just get someone to run it over at the sheriff's dept. this week. i have used one of those sites before a long time ago and they will give you the info. and, that is really scary to know that anyone can purchase your information that easily.
