Kady, my mother puts plain water in them and then sticks them in the freezer for a day or 2. I know she does this for tupperware bowls. Hopefully, it will work on your containers also.

No problem! Hope you are able to get rid of those fleas!! They love the flavor of me, especially my ankles, so I know firsthand how annoying and itchy-to the point of pain the bites are.

Ok ladies, I need to find some run-free pantyhose for work. I actually put on a dress today and I looked down and lo-and behold a runner. UGH! Target didn't have any panty hose that wouldn't run. Also, once I bought some that were open toe'd. I can't seem to find those anymore either. Gottschalks didn't have any. Any ideas?

This won't help locate the non-run stockings but could help with if you end up having to settle for the regular type. I was told to run a new pair of nylons through the wash (or hand wash them) and then stick them in the freezer for a couple days before wearing and it's supposed to help prevent runs. I also remember being told to lightly spray them down with hair spray after putting them on. I have never done this (the hair spray thing) because I don't want sticky residue on my skin all day.

K, found some toeless ones at Kohls.com, so maybe I can find some runless ones too.

My mom always told me to carry clear nail polish to stop a run in its tracks. It does work. But yeah, nylons are mostly cheaply made these days. I used to get 100% cotton ones in college, but they don't sell them anymore. Good luck!

Nail polish or hairspray works on runs.

Well, it now goes from my knee all the way to my thigh, lol. I think we've past the hairspray point. I am going to run out at lunch and grab a new few pairs. Kohl's is literally BEHIND my place of work. LOL, but in the future I'd love to find some runless ones. I know they make em, just don't know where to get them.

I stopped wearing pantyhose when they came out with thigh-highs. I LOVE thigh-highs and if you get a run in one you throw it away and take one from another pack. You almost always have a spare that way.

I remember from my textile science class that the denier and the gauge are important in a good stocking. The denier is the thickness and sheen of the yarn; the gauge is how close together the knit is--the tighter the knit, the stronger the stocking. This seems to be a good site:

sheer pantyhose from Italy

I also use the clear nailpolish trick. But I HATE pantyhose, so I go barefoot (in my shoes) with skirts and dresses or wear knee highs with pants and long skirts.

See, Mame, I can't go barefoot in my shoes. UGH, it drives me crazy.

Just an FYI, Kohls did NOT have toeless or runless so I just grabbed what they had....

I never thought about thigh highs.

I've never tried Thigh Highs. I figure with my meaty drumsticks they'd probably roll down and that would drive me whacky.

And... unless it's a blizzard, I go barefoot in my winter boots, too. LOL

Another question for legal beagles out there. HOW in the world do I get started making a will? We need to appoint guardianship of my children and dispersment of our estate, just in case something happens, but I don't want anyone to really know.

Escapee, just write down that you want all of your estate to go to Ginger1218.
Just kidding, sorry

Shouldn't the person I give them to know? Anywhooo...I found out that my work offers free assistance for this, so I hopped on the correct website, filled out the form for guardianship and got it ready to be notarized tomorrow when DH gets home. :-)

Now, on to a will for who gets all our debt.
