Well we had to go with Sears, so he'll probably be a cute old man with a little plumbers crack! He's coming tomorrow. Can I leave my clothes in the water for that long or will they get icky?

I'd take them out Julie. It might be a hassle, but he'll most likely have you do it anyways. You could call a friend or family member and see if they'll let you finish the wash cycle at their house (otherwise you're gonna have to rewash them.) Oh, wait, in water? Hmm, maybe throw them in the tub or something after everyone showers/bathes tomorrow. I'm sorry you have to deal with that, I know what a pain in the ass it is to have laundry half done and then have one of them break on you.

I have a wierd question. Is anyone else having any problems with windows media player. When we try to sync anything to my mp3 player, it tries to sync everything on the computer to it. I have downloaded it more then once, to no avail.

Twinkie, Just doing some reading here and noticed your question about Carnation Instant Breakfast and sugar. If you go to their site, you can sign up for a newsletter type thing they send out. They also have lots of info on the site, including recipes, info about their low sugar products and a diabetic exchange equivalent chart. Lots of good stuff there. Hope this helps!

I wish I knew the answer Ktbb. I just got an mp3 player (Ipod) and would love to know how to sync my music from WMP.

I Googled "sync from Window Media Player to ipod" and this site seemed pretty easy to understand. LINK

Thanks, War and Baby! I never was all that fond of Carnation instant breakfast but its been many years since I tried it. I'd just as soon stick with bananas. 1 is 14 grams of sugar so not much difference. I'll just have to stagger buying them so that I have some ripe while others are still ripening. Plus, they are high in potassium and I've always had a hard time hanging on to potassium. I once passed out in a restaurant, was taken by ambulance to the ER, and found out I had NO potassium in my body at all. That almost happened again in NYC with Marm, Spy, and Reiki. Bless their hearts, I told them what was happening and they got me inside with a glass of water and a banana and I was fine in a few minutes. Amazing, isn't it?

Do any of you have an Asian market around? The little bananas might be riper and they are pretty yummy (I'm not a big fan of bananas but the little ones seem sweeter to me). Plus, they are so CUTE! I take potassium daily.

Sea, the bananas the grew in my parents' backyard were those little ones. I haven't seen any up here. I get potassium in my multi vitamin but my body doesn't hang on to it well.

And besides a banana is easy to eat right away in the morning, too. I do wish I liked bananas.

Seamonkey, try greenish bananas. They are quite tolerable and don't have that over-sweet taste of ripe bananas. Um, I should add that I have different taste buds than a lot of people. Ripe bananas probably don't taste "over-sweet" to most normal people. They apparently taste just right and delicious.

I'm wearing my light grey and very light bluish/green sweatshirt tonight. While starting a fire tonight I guess I rubbed my arm against the inside of the wood burning stove and got soot on the sleeve (the light bluish green part.) Will anything take it out? Can I just wash in my regular detergent? Do something special to it? Help!!!!! This is my absolute favorite sweatshirt and I'm going to be really upset if I can't get the soot out.

War, wash it in cold water and detergent but don't put it in the dryer. Let it air dry and check it. If the soot isn't out let me know but that should take care of it.

Because as long as you don't dry it it shouldn't set if it's still there right? I'm usually pretty good with stains having kids and all but this is one I haven't dealt with.

If it is an oily/greasy type stain, all I can say is: LESTOIL! All the way! You may need to soak it in the lestoil for a bit, but it will work! (Well 99% of the time. Though I never tried it on soot. But I am guessing that it might be somewhat greasylike...)

Exactly, War. If you've done that, how does it look?? Enquiring minds want to know.

Haven't yet, the sweatshirt is hanging over the chair waiting for the other laundry to finish, lol. This was the first weekend in forever I'd decided to get a jump on it and started the kids school clothes yesterday instead of waiting til Sunday.

Oh and yes it's kinda oily. When I get it on my hands I have to use Darren's hand cleaner that he uses after working on the cars. It was really stupid because I know I always get soot on me when I put in the firewood or check it and usually I push my sleeves up or take the sweater/sweatshirt off. Guess I was just in too much of a hurry since I was freezing my butt off, lol!

Zout is also a miracle product that is more widely available throughout the country than Lestoil.

I've tried Zout too. It works "fair" for me. Whereas Lestoil has failed me only once. (With the yellow baby stained clothes.) But Lestoil is very hard to find. I can only get it from my aunt who lives in another state!! (She gets it from Piggly Wiggly in Wisconsin. Wargod, if you like, I could try soaking a paper towel in it and then putting that in a ziplock (or two) and mail it to you. Just let me know.
