Oh Julie, I actually gave to the Fraternal Order of Police once. Not due to threat just because I thought it was a good thing. Oh how wrong I was. First I saw a 20/20 type show that showed these kind of police charities. I remember the head honcho of the charity living in a beautiful mansion on a canal in Miami, boats, cars, vacations you name it.

So from then on when they called I told them no. it's hard to get them to take no fo ran answer. Boy were they pushy they just kept hounding and calling back.

I finally had enough and told them. I think it is a bunch of crap how little money goes to the police while some fat cat gets fatter. Next time I want to donate to the police I will wait until they set up radar and then blow past them going 15 miles over the speed limit. Do Not Call Me Again! I'm happy to say they have not called me in forever.

Julie, it is the Uniden that comes with the Uniden answering machine. The answering machine has the DND button. Just to clarify if that wasn't made clear.

You can always forward their calls to somewhere else, like the local jail.

Just thought of another one my dh does to telemarketers. T: Is this Mr. Soinso? DH: Hold on please. He then places the phone receiver down on the cabinet or whatever, and leaves the telemarketer waiting until they hang up. We go about our business and pick up the receiver every few minutes. It does not take long for T to hang up.

He also likes to do this...talking in a really (and I mean really) dumb sounding voice. He'll keep on talking to them asking What? What? and sometimes even gets to the point that telemarketer starts laughing and hangs up. It's is so funny (kind of cruel really) to listen to him. He will also try and use an accent and says he can't understand them. We really don't get too many unsolicited calls, but I love it when he screws with their heads.

When I hooked up to cable instead of dial-up I canceled my dial-up number. It still has not been reassigned to anyone so when I get a call from someone I don't want to hear from again I put that number on my call forward only list and send it to the disconnected message.

You know those scented candles you can get in any store, the kind that are in glass jars? Well, once the wick burns down all the way to the bottom, is the remaining wax (and the jar it came it) basically just toast? Or is there a way to recycle it and put a new wick in so as not to waste all that great smelling wax that is left over?

What I envision is finding a replacement wick somewhere (though I have no clue as to where to find such a wick). Then figuring out a way to melt the remaining wax so I can put the new wick down inside it.

And the wax is mis-shapen due to the previous burning. So I wonder, could I place the whole jar down inside a pan of boiling water, in hopes the wax would melt into an even pool, and then put a new wick inside?

Or is all that more trouble than its worth?

Who...I recently purchased a candle-warmer. It melts the wax from the heat on the plate. You don't even have to use the wick at all. I love it. Have lots and lots of half used candles around here and now problem solved.

Who, Alwayzmovin is right, the candle warmer is like a mini hot plate, and it works great on that left over candle in a jar. No need for a wick. I've seen them for about $5.75 and the price goes up from there.

If you want to use wicks, though, they have them at craft stores.

No wick, no flame (some wicks have lead in tham)

If the candle is for the scent, no wick is needed if you use a warmer.

Look in the buyers banter area and soyful joys soy tarts and there should be a subthread with info on warmers which are used for the tarts as well, but are candlewarmers. Candlsense is one name and they can be found at Michael's Joann and many other places as well as online.

The wicks at Micheal's don't have lead.

That's good. Flame isn't an option in my home. Cats way too important. I only melt soy (renewable resource, not a petroleum product).

I really like the candle warmer idea. I've already put it on my Christmas list. Go figure, how old am I and I never heard of the things! Such a much easier solution than trying to put a new wick into that melted gob of wax!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I knew someone with smarts would come in and set me straight!

Anyone know how to get lipstick (or lipgloss, Caleb isn't sure which it is) out of clothes?

I would try a product called Folex...I get it at Home Depot....it's generally used for carpet stains, but I've used it on clothing before and it works wonders.

Or you could get your clorox bleach pen out of the freezer

And my next questions is, why does Caleb have lipgloss/lipstick on his clothes?
