favorite shampoo - it really did smell "terrific." In fact, I found it in one of those catalogs recently and ordered it - unfortunately, it had no scent whatsoever - just wasn't the real thing...I was hoping to be able to go back in time, but I guess it's true that you really can't go home.

Smells
I have had milk spill down the backside of the refrigerator and turn sour and smell terrible. It went behind the produce drawers and even though I cleaned everythign out time and time again it smelled for a long time. Finally found out it went down to the drip pan underneath the refigerator but that was an older refrigerator. Also if the freeze on is leaking from the freezer it also smells especially when the refigerator is running. Smells can get into the rubber on a refrigerator and sometimes never get out. Go to Heloise page on the web and see if she has any answers.
Refrigerator smells - please help!
I purchased a nice but used refrigerator. Now that it is installed and cooling, it has a terrible odor inside.
I have cleaned and cleaned. How in the world can I get this smell out?! I just can't take it.
I'd appreciate any advice. 
Talking about smells, I also like
in addition to the bleach smell, gasoline (I would pump gas for a living if I could make a living at that) ,damp basements or cellars, cut grass but nothing like that good gas. Oh, don’t flame folks, I know not to stand there and sniff until I pass out!
...Sure smells like something is very wrong here! NM

That's terrific for you....
I think you'll like it. Do not get discouraged. You should really only lose 1-2 lb per week. Just taking the attention to the portions is a great step. Also, drink the water if at all possible. The exercise is good as well, but this need not be structured or even at a gym. Exercise around your house. Take the long way to do things. Park further in the parking lot (be safe of course), walk around your kitchen when you're cooking. Getting up the heart rate is most important!!! I think you'll like Weight Watchers. Feel free to keep in touch, would love to encourage you some more! Well wishes to you... 
That's terrific!
What a wonderful idea. At least that poor sheltie's suffering has had one positive outcome. 
That's terrific!
You are very brave - a lot of people would be afraid to speak up. As I was reading your post, I kept thinking about a prayer I read when my son was little:
"Dear Father, hear and bless Thy beasts and singing birds
And guard with tenderness small things that have no words."
Sounds like you are His eyes and ears and hands down here on Earth.
For outside, Lantana smells great and is
easy care. Doesn't take a lot of water and it fills a space nicely. Blooms like crazy. If you plant it near your front door you'll smell it every time. Another fun one is daphne. I have winter daphne, but there are other daphne bushes with more fragrance. I'm finding it very easy. Plumbago bush is easy also. Not absolutely sure it's fragrant, but great flowers. I have so much fragrance in my front yard right now I don't know where it's coming from.
oooh I bet that smells good!! Now you know
I have to buy that one! LOL I didn't even see gingerbread scent.
i think febreze smells horrible -nm

Homeschool is Terrific
One of my grandsons is home-schooled. Two are public-schooled. The home schooled one is doing very well. The two who are not are in deep trouble (one is in 1st grade and the other in 3rd grade. The 3rd grader has been held back twice. All the school does is complain about him, say he cannot read (he can read at my house) and plague his mother with their frequent phone calls and meetings where they try to place the blame on the parents "lack of helping enough with their homework" (since when do first and third graders have two hours of homework at night - that is crazy). The 1st grader is doing okay, but barely. When my own kids were young (I have 3) my son would have really benefitted frome home school, but at that time the state of California made that impossible. I went through so much with him and with a nephew (my sister-in-law and brother-in-law spent 800.00 a month on special reading and tutoring classes and that was back in the 1970s and 1980s. That is the only way he did well, and the tutors agreed with the parents that there was nothing wrong with him or his ability to learn, that it was the school's lack of teaching to the individual that was the problem. Lucky for him that his parents could afford the tutors. Psychologist's don't know everything (and I am an old Psych RN and have met a lot who were probably attracted to the field because they were formerly psych patients  . As a grandma who lives with her home-schooled grandson who is in the fifth grade now I say hooray for home school! It feels really good to know that he gets taught in a way that works best for him and his mother. If the psychologists are worried about "group interaction" just take her to martial arts classes. Since when were schools the only place a child could interact? Martial arts is good exercise and it also has worked wonders with ADD children and I've seen that first hand. It is helpful with self esteem and helps children work on their ability to work with others as a team. My home schooled grandson can interact with anyone anytime and we get tons of compliments on his behavior and he is delightfully happy. Every year we ask him if he would like to change to public school, private school or continue with home schooling. His answer so far has been homeschool! My other two grandsons who go to public school are much loved, but there is defnitely a difference in their behavior, their attitude toward learning, and their ability to get along with others when compared to their cousin. The public schools are not what they were when I went to school - I had wonderful teachers and obtained an education that was second to none. Alas, this is not the 1950s anymore and the public schools prove that to me every day in every way. Go to some websites and check out the curriculums. See what is out there. I recommend Calvert's great curriculum. Good luck!
Jemm, those are terrific!
I am making a list of all the old movies that I loved and if I don't have them I am going to buy them and watch them again. I had forgotten about all those, except for Braveheart. I loved Fatal Attraction and Beaches!
Thank you! I'ts browning right now and it smells so good!

evidently the ESL had terrific upbringing.......nm
you would make a terrific TS salesMAN!
You are exactly the type! Can't let go. For the record, it was a 90-minute presentation that went to 3 hours and when I said I went out to the car, it was because we wanted to leave, but the rep followed us out, continuing to try to sell after being told multiple times we were not buying and when he stepped forward so that I could not close the car after I was sitting in it, that was when I decided to change the diaper in the air conditioner because nothing else would shut him up.
Bless your heart. I bet, I just bet, you cannot keep your fingers off your keyboard to reply to this because for all your bravado, you can't JUST SAY NO and leave this beaten horse to lay in peace. See if I'm right about you. Go ahead...don't post and show me your spine.
I think the boy's teeth look terrific, not fake
at all. I know that when my son first got his braces off it was very, very strange. I called him Willie Wonka for a few days. They were just sooo perfect it was kinda freaky, but the strangeness wore off after a few days. Does your son like how they turned out?
Odo Ban - I highly suggest it. The smell is terrific. sm
especially if you have animals, etc. My friend gave me hers as she bought it from Sam's Club and I love it. You get a gallon jug and then a sprayer. It's an all-in-cleaning. She even puts it in her towels when washing. I just am very pleased with the smell. Just a little suggestion if you are having guests this holiday season!
I was referring to my own hair, people hair. nm
:
Hair
Oh yeah! I have a long-haired cat. My living room looks like she had a fight with Santa and Santa lost his white trim and long beard. LOL
Hair
 Oh I know you meant people hair. Just wanted to share that my cat is goning through the same thing these days. I guess because she is just so close to my heart she feels like a child not a pet. 
About your hair
What do you like/dislike the most about it?
I've been letting mine grow, so it's longer and looks really nice around my face. It's very soft. That part I like.
I hate hate hate having long hair when it's hot outside. Ponytail and hair clips, here I come.
hair
Yes, you can do this yourself. Go for it. IF you want an overall lighter color go for it. Make sure you read the box about if your hair is dark it will look like this or if your hair is this dark we do not recommend. I would also even recommend going to a Sallys Beauty Supply. They can help you as well. I used to do hair for a living before MTing.
Hair
Hey go for it. Anything that looks good, do it. I always wear my hair short because it looks the best. Looking back at pictures I have almost the same haircut that I had at age 21 but am not trying to recreate that age it just looks the best on my. My great nephews, ages 20 to 8, always tell me that there is no way I am almost the same age as their grandmother (my sister 3 years older) because she is old and I am not and I think it is because I act, dress and think young. I don't wear mini's but my legs are one of my best assets and so I wear knee length skirts and heels many times and it makes me feel good. Even if you wanted to wear a beehive -- now I am showing my age -- do it if it makes you feel good. I envy those gals with longer hair but I am small boned and small facial features and it just overwhelms me. But a lot of older actresses have long hair and it looks good.
keep your hair.

Dry hair
I have really dry hair both because of my middle age and putting dye on it at home. I've tried most otc products but nothing really seems to get it soft and healthy looking. Anyone have any tried and true products, like a deep treatment type of conditioner that really works?
Oh, well, it's just hair, you know? sm
I agree with her...you gotta pick your battles. That said, my son's hair is longish, but not to his shoulders.
Hair......
It is definitely not good to wash hair every day.
Because you strip the hair of the essential oil and then the follicles produce again oil, the hair gets oily very fast and you have to wash it again.
This becomes a vicious cycle.
The more often you wash your hair, the faster it gets oily.
Try to use 'dry shampoo' in between, until your hair gets less oily.
Get a dog with hair, not fur- sm
Find out what breeds have hair, I know poodles are one, I think there are one or two others but not sure. He would not be allergic to a dog with hair though, if so then he is allergic to people too. There are standard size poodles (large) or miniature poodles.
I have used it in my hair, but not to eat.

my sister does hair
and one of her clients bought her a jogging suit that says "i run with scissors!" she thought that was too fun! of course, depends on the personality.
Coloring your hair.
How many here have colored or still color their hair?
Highlights, lowlights, gray coverage or all out Platinum blonde.
Maybe you are going for that fire engine red.....
I bought one of those kits the other day that has the base color and the extra highlighting kit too. I am going for the medium to dark brown (which is my natural color) with "Caramel Glaze" highlights. My hair naturally has alot of underlying red tones so I have to be careful what color I choose or I end up looking like Lucille Ball. (not that red is a bad thing) I just don't want to be the next "Carrot Top" LOL.
Anybody else out there about to do a color change? opinions?
hair color sm
Had beautiful brown hair with natural red highlights, talked into blond highlighting, now go every 3 mos for cut and color but prices are being ridiculously increased to over $110 for this service, $45 for the cut and $65 for partial - more for full highlight. I am scared to do this alone, as I don't want to look like a "skunk" and the highlighting makes me feel better, as I'm getting older. Another subject - as you get older, people treat you like you're taking up space on the planet - rude. I don't intend to go gray. Is keeping the brown and putting in my onw highlights a fairy tale, is it that difficult? Can't imagine how I'll see in the mirror to do it alone!!! Can't afford it anymore. I think the stylist is planning to raise her prices and it will be over $150 for the whole head!
hair color
I found some really cool hair color at www.bettybeauty.com
Anyone ever had a hair transplant
due to loss of hair and if so, can you tell me how it came out, were you satisfied with the results, how much cost and which place did you use? I have seen some ads and am thinking seriously about this. Thanks.
hair style
My hairstyle is very low maintenance, a layered cut barely past my shoulders, which I shape with a hairbrush and blowdryer. It takes less than 5 minutes, but I have a lot of natural curl. What is your hair type? That makes a big difference.
thinning hair
I do not have a thyroid condition but my hair was always very thin and falls out in handfuls except when I was pregnant. My sister is a doctor and she found an article that advocated taking biotin (2000 mcg) and MSM (1000 mg) a day - ask your doctor, but biotin is just a B vitamin and MSM is used for joint health - and after a month or so I noticed a huge improvement in hair loss. We both have noticed it. I have also seen biotin used for stronger nails and I have to admit mine are growing quite well.
P.S. To Hair message . . .
Sorry, didn't know talking about animals would be so upsetting to you.
I picked thru their hair...
Took small section by section and picked thru and took each nit and pulled them out several times a day until I found no more nits. I had to go thru mine too since I got it too.
Arm hair trouble
It seems like over the last several years the hair on my forearms has gotten darker and darker. I'm so self-conscious about it, I feel like it makes me nice and mannish looking :(
Here's my question: would it help to put hydrogen peroxide on my arm hair everyday? Bleaching is such a hassle for a large area like that, and I don't have the money now for laser removal. I think hydrogen peroxide lightens hair, but would it make a noticeable difference on my arms?
I am always losing my hair.
All year round. A lot comes out in the shower and when drying my hair. My bathroom floor is covered. I have very thick hair. I never thought to ask my doctor about it. May be I should. I do not see any bald spots yet, but I will continue to watch. I just turned 50. I hope it does not get worse.
hair loss
My hair started falling out years ago, just inherited. I tried extensions, forget that.. There are a couple of products out there hair so real, but then I got Toppix; it's a natural hair fiber/powder that you apply to DRY scalp where the scalp is showing through; it's expensive, so I only use it when I go out to meet people I know.
Do you part your hair?? (sm)
I don't part mine or my kids - I brush it and it has sort of a natural part, but I never do the old comb-parting thing. Just wondering if I am the odd one out? Hey - it says GAB board :-)
My hair is very short right now.
Short layers and all I have to do is spray a little hairspray on it and run my fingers through it and I'm good to go. It has gotten much thicker over the years and hair color has helped with that too. I hate that I have to color my hair, though. I started going gray almost 20 years ago and I just turned 40. At some point, I will bite the bullet and let the color grow out, but haven't gotten there yet. Not ready to be totally gray.
My hair is short
When it starts to get even a little long, I have to go out and get it cut. I don't like the way my hair or the way I look when it gets too long. I just put some gel in it and go. The only thing I don't like is that it can get dry in the sun. I've been dying my hair for about five years or so (46 now). I won't let it go gray, but that's just me. My daughter is only 4 so I feel I would look like her grandmother if I let it go gray.
LOL. I have that kind of hair too!!
Mine is longer layers and I have a LOT of it and it gets coarse sometimes after highlighting. So you should see me when I wake up in the morning sometimes. It is sticking up and out a good few inches on the top and sides! I joke with my husband, don't come too close or I may poke your eye out! LOL So I know exactly what you mean about not being able to just run out for something some days. Or God forbid, what about unexpected company or UPS or FedEx? LOL
Anyone else out there with curly hair?
My daughter is 3. She has waist-long curly hair. It is so beautiful but I am beginning to despise it!!! It is so tangly. I use Johnsons & Johnsons detangler from Wal-Mart, but that just doesn't seem to help. I wash her hair with a shampoo/condition in 1 and then I do another round of just conditioner. I can't figure out how to make this better. The hair combing experience every day is painful for both of us!! If you have any suggestions, short of cutting off those beautiful locks, I would sure appreciate your advice!
Curly hair
I have curly hair and so does my son so I know what you mean about it being a painful experience for both of you. I've found that sometimes it helps if you leave the conditioner in for a while before rinsing and always use a wide-tooth comb. Some leave-in conditioners help. When my hair was really long I always braided it before bed so it was easier to deal with the next morning.
Wind in HIs Hair
Rodney A. Grant from Dances with Wolves. Hubba Hubba.  
Since we are talking hair, I always wonder
wondered what kind of hair Mane and Tail is good for. Is it for smoothing hair that is coarse, or just what does it do?
Have dry, brittle hair
Only wash about once a week and dry, brittle, fly-away, breaking. Anyone use anything that really helps this situation? Thanks!
hair cost sm
I was told years ago that the markup is ridiculous by someone who took a beautician course.. I found a good girl, shopped around, could not believe what WALMART (just stopped by to qestion in person) is charging for simple highlights and cut, even the local Regis Salons which also includes Supercuts, etc., are getting a hundred bucks or more. So what I did was establish an agreement with a girl who rents space nearby and she is excellent. She has been charging me $65 for color, cut and blow dry and style. So today I gave her a very generous Christmas tip and she tried to give it back to me. I told her I so appreciated what she does for me all year and she started to cry and gave me a hug. I told her I was aware of what others charged and I knew she gave me a break all year. Everyone won, nobody lost. Shop around, the markup is ridiculous. Corporate wins, not the stylist (much like our profession). Just find someone you can trust and develop a relationship with and give them a little extra once in awhile. I am very glad I did this,I had a great day and I feel wonderful and so does my stylist. It can be done, be an educated consumer. Don't fall for the high prices, what costs them a few bucks turns into literally hundreds when it comes to highlight or color and cut! Shop around.
