I've done 2 Habitat Houses and the first one was all outside work, sawing, drilling, working with wood. No permanent damage to any of my clothes. I was thinking along those lines when I chose what to wear for my second foray into Habitat World. I was going for comfort, and my sweats were in the laundry. The second house ended up being almost complete and I ended up with interior painting duty.

Hey, Cndeariso, thanks. I looked it up online and it says "A fast working remover for home, garage and the shop. Oops has a low odor formula. Works fast, dries quickly and leaves no lingering odor. Color fast and fabric safe. Removes dried latex, paint, tar, lipstick, crayons, gum, ink, adhesive residue, oil, magic marker, grease. Also use on carpets, concrete, fiberglass, glass, upholstery and most fabrics. This Oops Multi-Purpose Remover is one of many top quality items in our Adhesive/Caulk Removers department. I'm off to Lowe's!

This is my favorite pair of pants and many of my other pants are tight because I have been stress eating!! Time to buckle back down and eat right and recommence working out! In the meantime, if the "Oops" doesn't work, I'll try the marker. I'm determined!

Vacanick, can you tell me the name of that lotion with bronzer. I don't want to tan my blinding white legs, but they are blinding me so I would love some sort of solution.

LOL ... I believe it's Neutrogena. I got it at Longs Drugs. It colors your skin gradually the more you use it. I like it. It's not obvious.

LOL Sea, thanks! With my hair and complexion I think I'd kinda look freakish if I was tan! I dressed this morning thinking about having my baby nephew for part of the day (so nothing I'd be upset about if it got kid stained.) Standing in line at the grocery store I looked down and realized I had on my white tshirt that I'd painted my bedroom in (green) that has paint splotches on it. And that was about 4-5 years ago, lol!

The Neutrogena works good, but has a "smell" to it. I bought the Aveeno this time and it smells much better and it works good too. eta: ooops it was the Jergens that had the "smell" not Neutrogena.

Avon has a new self-tanner out. It's from the Mark! line and it has a really nice fragrance. The best part is it goes on with a bit of color, so you can see where you are putting it. Then it deepens after a couple of hours. It looks really natural. There are also all sorts of lotions out now that sort of add a small bit of tan. I use Avon on my legs, but there are other brands, too. Maybe it was Jergens I'm thinking of.

Jergens does have a slight smell to it. I hade a problem with an orange tint and even though I put it on at night, it still wore off the tops of my feet where my shoes rubbed. I am very light skin but I used the medium lotion. I wonder if it would make a difference if I used the light color.

I read the other day, and don't recall where, that Australia considers tanning booths so dangerous that they are thinking of enacting ordinances that persons under 18 must have written permission from parents to use them. This is in the country with the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. The Lord didn't intend for all those white folks to be that close to the sun before he had the chance to properly darken their skin over milennia.

hermi,if the "oops" doesn't work, dab the spot/paint with a cotton ball saturated with polish remover RUBBING ALCOHOL (Isopropyl alcohol). if you see paint on the cotton, get a clean cotton ball and keep repeating until paint gone. if you don't see paint on the cotton after dabbing it, keep the cotton on a bit longer (check it until you see paint on the cotton). i used that for blue ink (that had been there for days)on a dark-khaki cotton t-shirt. didn't leave a white spot. not sure how it would work on paint and white on black. but worth a try. make sure you have something between the front/back legs so it doesn't saturate through. also, be careful about it saturating too much on the spot until you have dabbed it several times. i got tired of dabbing and finally just left a saturated cotton ball on the spot for about an hour. that worked fine...but i wouldn't recommend doing that in your case. just don't rub in or try to wipe away the paint. either way, i'd go for some hermi art too. lol <~77>

Does anyone know what the B. M. T. stands for, in the Subway Italian BMT Sandwich? I know what goes on it, but can't for the life of me figure out what the BMT stands for.

hermi. BIG MISTAKE (maybe mods could fix?) too late to edit my post. i meant RUBBING ALCOHOL (Isopropyl alcohol) NOT POLISH REMOVER. sorry. hopefully it doesn't matter and "OOPS" worked for you. (i had typed OOPS after big mistake and decided to delete it in this case. lol)

Karen, I looked it up and got this:
Subway's B.M.T (pepperoni, Genoa salami, ham) The "Italian B.M.T." sandwich was originally named after the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation in New York City. Its name has evolved to unofficially stand for "Biggest, Meatiest, Tastiest" and it has also been referred to as the Big Meat Trio.

BTW, for ink and lipstick, use hair spray. Yup, old fashioned hair spray. Test to be sure the material won't stain from the spray, but usually just spray the spot, dab it off, repeat if necessary. Let dry, then launder as normal (I usually mix up a paste of soap and water and brush it on before throwing it in the wash). Another thing that works great on ink... Simple Green. Spray on full strength (on dark clothes only; wet white/light clothes first before spraying) then wash immediately. I am the most ungraceful person in the world when it comes to pens, and always end up with a pen swipe across a skirt or top.

Urgrace, that's interesting. After landi posted, I did a google search for 'biggest, meatiest, tastiest", and got a bunch of Subway hits, so I left it at that and went on my merry way. But I knew there had to be some deeper explanation... Brooklyn Manhattan Transit, that's cool. Thanks!!

I'm going to a bridal shower next weekend and need suggestions for bridal gifts. The bride is fairly conservative so crotchless panties are out of the question. Any other suggestions would be appreciated!

There are some variables to consider. Basically if the bride is at a point in her life where basics count (like if they are financially stable or not) could help determine on if you want to get a more practical gift or not. So are you thinking about a practical gift or a more fun/emotional gift? Also, how close are you? My personal favorite is a giftcard. Sounds boring. But to me, it is the best. I know there are many who'd disagree and push for something more "emotional" or personal. Actually one of the best gifts I ever gave was a photoalbum/scrapbook that I had made of the bride and groom. It helped though that we had been part of a large group of friends for many years and I had lots of photos of us camping, at amusement parks, graduations, etc... But that was when I was in my early 20s and had lots of time on my hands! And I knew the bride was getting plenty of vacuums, place settings, pots&pans, etc... Like I said, I have gotten so much more practical thru the years so if she was getting married today, she would have gotten a giftcard (or something off of her registry.) Last thing is you cannot go wrong with getting something off of her registry.

She is. But I thought the registry was for the wedding gift not the bridal shower gift. Am I wrong??
