Julie, this site recommends scotch tape. Good luck! Temporary body art can be removed by simply applying scotch tape to your temporary tattoo and peeling the tape off your skin. Use rubbing alcohol to get rid of any residue left by your fake tattoo. You can also apply baby oil (not motor oil!) to your temporary body art, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub the tattoo off.

The tape worked!! However, it really hurt so he would not let me re-do to get the residual stuff. But enough is gone for now. He does have quite a bit of stuff left, but at least it's a start and I don't think they'll send him home. THANKS for your suggestions. I did try baby wipes but not baby oil (but we did try cooking oil.) Actually I will go try baby wipes right now and see if that'll help with the "crumbs." No go. Oh well, off to write an email to his teacher... THANK you all so much for your suggestions!!! Especially for the tape suggestion!!

I'd call Chucky Cheese and see if they knew what to use. I'm sure you aren't the only one with the same problem and they must get a lot of calls about it.

And what type of tattoo the restaurant is using on children? FWIW, oil and lotions will shorten the duration of a temp tat.

The tats were applied to his face cuz that is where he wanted them. They were applied like any temp tat, with water...

It's very common these days for kids to get temp tats on their faces, arms, hands. It's THE thing to do.

And normally with temp tats you just put a warm wash cloth on them, let it set, then wipe them clean. But every now and then you get one that just won't come off.

Serate, I'm aware of that...my dd gets them all of the time, and I must admit, I've never even thought about her putting them on her face...we have had the one or two "tough ones" applied, but I never even considered comet.

Scooter I just see kids all over the place with them on their faces. Comet. *L* I remember I must have been about 8 or 9 - old enough to know better - and I drew on my face with markers. They didn't have the clean with water type back then. My mom took Commet and scrubbed and scrubbed my face. I survived, but I sure brought it up for years to come whenever I got upset with her.

The economy may be really tiny if you have a lot of luggage, and as I think you have a toddler, I'd check if it's ok to have a child seat in the back. There's often a link on each provider's website to see exactly what car they have in what category. You might want to check on a terminal map how far offsite the ones that aren't in the terminal are, or how long the shuttle takes. Other than that I don't know, I've only used a couple - Alamo and Thrify - and both seemed the same to me.

You might want to check with your credit card company to see if they have any special rental car deals. I often rent from Enterprise, and occasionally from Alamo. I tend to rent something in the "Chevy Malibu" size range. As Kitt says, if you go to the rental car company's web site, you can see examples of the type of car they consider to be in each class. For example, Alamo has a Chevy Aveo listed for economy, and a Chevy Cobalt for compact -- both are smaller than I would be comfortable renting for myself. I usually go with mid-size/standard.

Get one of the cheapest compact or midsize. A rental car is a rental car and if you are not a repeat customer, it really doesn't matter. I use Hertz, but I'm a Gold Club member (actually, Platinum now, I think) because I travel so much. Really, it's just a rental car. You'll not be living in it, just driving it.

Jeeze I don't even know what an Aveo or a Cobalt looks like on the outside--let alone what it would be like trying to install a carseat in one!! Guess I'll call Alamo and ask them. I really don't care much about the comfort, I won't be driving much. Just need to be able to get a carseat in it. Don't have much luggage either. Thanks again!

Julieboo, you are going to be able to get your luggage AND the car seat AND Abby and all her paraphernalia in pretty much any car you rent. None of them are inordinately tiny, and all are going to fit a standard child or infant seat. If not, they will finagle around, at no extra cost, to see that you are accommodated. I wouldn't worry about this one at all, if you are bringing your own car seat, and I think you are. In fact, I might go so far as to bid this one on Priceline, all the way down to the smallest car. I have rented Bigdog a sub-compact, and he is not a sub-compact guy, and he has ended up with a P. T. Cruiser. When I say bid it down, I mean take the lowest bid you might find on Expedia for a sub-compact,or maybe even $5 below, and start with that daily rate for a full-size, then when it gets rejected, change ity to the next smaller size car until it gets accepted.

I've used EZ a couple of times and had great luck with them. The compact cars were plenty big enough for me, Sierra, and her car seat. $91 a week included all fees and taxes. Just make sure you fill the gas tank back up to full before you turn it in or they charge you an arm and leg for gas.

Thanks Twinkie. Never heard of EZ before. Just need to find out if they have a location right at the airport.
