Anyone know of a trick to get dark nail polish off a light rug? Help!

I use finger nail polish remover. It stinks though.

I agree with the nail polish remover, just make sure sm
you have the type with acetone in it. The acetone-free stuff won't work. My son got super glue-a big, think chunk-on his eyeglasses and nail polish remover got it off.
Acetone is nail polish remover, already said that earlier

A good carpet company can dye the carpet where the bleach spot is.

Get advice of pros. Call carpet store/carpet cleaner

I wonder if a little vinegar would remove
the smell because of its pH level? But then to get rid of the vinegar smell...HMMMM...Be safe and use the Arm and Hammer baking soda. =)
It's my DH who is looking for a better polish LOL nm

Love mine. Be sure to buy one where you can remove sm
the grates (sp). I have an older one and it is a pain to clean. I've ended up putting foil on the bottom and top to make it easier to clean.
How to remove car window tinting sm
I've got some ideas off the internet using alcohol, Joy dish soap, ammonia, and wall paper steamer. Anyone else have any ideas? Mine is on the inside glass on all windows. It's 10 years old and really needs to be removed as it doesn't clean well anymore and smears so bad I can hardly see at night to drive. Any ideas out there? TIA.
Is there a way to remove cigarette smoke - sm
from something without washing it? I have a baby blanket my mom crocheted that is for a friend of mine who's expecting. Like everything in my mom's house, it has a bit of a cigarette smell, and I don't think a new mother would want to use a blanket that smells of cigarettes for a new baby! So far I've just hung it up on a hanger in the hallway at my place. (I don't smoke.) Any ideas? I thought about something like "Febreze", but that might not be good for a new baby to breathe, either.........

They usually remove the thyroid for hyperthyroidism not hypothyroidism. SM
If you have hypothyroidism, then your thyroid is low producing or not producing at all which causes you not to be able to lose weight. So removing your thyroid would basically be useless.
machine to remove cigarette smoke?
my husband's smoking is almost intolerable to me anymore. He won't smoke outside for me. Does anyone know first-hand of a machine that effectively gets all or most of the smoke/smell out of the room being smoked in? thanks.
followup on machine to remove cig smoke
First, thanks again to those who tried to be helpful/supportive. Secondly, i may (!)have made a breakthrough this morning, Praise God!! Sparing the details, after another fit of mine over trying to eat in a 'cloud', i put it to him this way: Saying, "i've been looking into air cleaners to remove the smoke smell from the house, and they will cost from $700 to $1000. So which is it going to be -- will you quit smoking, smoke outside the house or do we invest in these expensive air cleaners? I just can't tolerate it like i used to."
I let him ponder awhile and asked again for the answer. I about fell off my feet when he said he'd try harder to quit smoking and that he might start smoking outside the house, and might even consider a prescription to help...Good Golly Miss Molly!!
Wonders truly never cease!!
Better email this board and have them remove your resume

agree with the clean up, and remove programs not used. sm
research the computer site, like dell, etc. sometimes they have forums, questions and answer areas. sometimes they offer fixes if it was a company glitch.
but first get your ducks in a row by defragmenting and freeing up space.
is it possible to remove rubber cement from clothing?
Why, I don't know, but my 9-year-old's art teacher has these kids gluing a paper project they're working on with rubber cement. So, needless to say, he shows up with a huge glob across his shirt (at least the size of a fist). Is there any way to remove this? Also, isn't this stuff toxic? Should kids be working with it? Should I call the school? I'm at a loss.
Try WD-40. I've used it to remove lots of things.
If you go to the WD40 site, specifically the page "2000 Official Uses for WD-40" below and enter "rubber cement" it does indicate that it works.

We live in the south, so we stocked up when we went up north to home. The Kizka was an aquired taste, but now I love it.
Clear fingernail polish
I have never done this myself just thought of it when reading your post. Maybe try coating the keys with clear finger nail polish once a month.
WAIT...one change. Remove "already". It's redundant.
Currently, there is a lack of adequate class time for the core classes such as math, language arts, and science. The addition of special classes such as music or art, however beneficial, should not take priority nor should they cut into core class time
You have hit the nail on the
head. This is exactly what I am talking about but never knew the words for them. I will show to my hubby. The ones I have read off the list are cute and I know so many of those. Thanks!
Usually with a nail.

This post is where the fingernail polish is mentioned
being used by a man turned into wearing nail polish? I am sure you weren't trying to be rude, Jen, but is this or is this not your post? I don't even know why I'm posting in this thread because I truly think it is ridiculous to assume because a man uses "smelly goods" that he's gay or a cheater no matter how old he is. There are a lot of men in this world and depending on how you grew up or where you grew up could make a difference in the way you present yourself. That is not to say that a more rugged man is less of a man than a more "salon-type" guy, but let's face it there are guys out there that act feminine and are not gay. I happen to know a very nice guy, grew up with him. He's a hairstylist, a very good one, and has a wife and a daughter that he loves dearly. I'm pretty sure he's not gay. I also think it is funny that the first responses to this OP was "get rid of him", or "he's up to something", both posted by divorcees I might add. I think I'm done now. 
What do you use to polish your solid-surface countertop?
We have a Corian-type (manmade, not granite or quartz) countertop and we have tried just about everything, including what the manufacturer recommends and even car polish. Our house is only a little over a year old, but the countertops are already starting to look a little scratched and dull.
I love the color - it is a deep brick red - but if I had it to do over again, I would get a lighter color. This dark color shows every little scratch.
Any suggestions?
Polish? (I am and remember Granny making that)

Couldn't get to a store but used fingernail polish sm
and a lot came off. I'm going to do a second dose tonight after work. Have a big day of training for a business tomorrow and would rather not have all this ink on my hands.  I won't be able to get to a store until after the training tomorrow.
Thanks everyone!!
How about regular old-fashioned wax furniture polish? sm
Beware, Kitty might skid on that towel and dig in with her claws to steady herself.
It's very nice of you to be kitty sitting!
Carpet
I hate this carpet. We just bought the house from my husband's aunt and uncle and they had it forever. I call it Las Vegas carpet. lol
I had new carpet put down and after the
carpet guys (who moved my furniture) had put everything back and left, a new lingerie set I had just bought (tags still on) was missing.
Wow. You SO hit the nail on the head with this one--sm
It seriously sounds like you have been there before and found your way out of it somehow. I so applaud your way of helping this poor exhausted woman, and I feel badly for her, because I have been there too. My ex was ALOT like this, controlling, passive-aggressive, and had a very abusive anger problem, as well. She did not state how long she has been with this man, but if things don't change, I fear abuse may be the next step. In my experience, people like this do not change. You do. Sometimes the only way to change the situation is to leave it, entirely. forever. I am also sorry to say that when I left my ex after 13 years of abusive control, he moved on to the next one...she took her own life after 14 years due to the same treatment. He married again after that, with the roles reversed and his wife controlling him...he took his own life last year. The ones who suffer? the children. MY children, his children, who will never be the same because of all of this. Think about all of this *exhausted*. It is only meant to help you open your eyes, see your options, and ACT on them...for your sake, and your children. Hugs to you, as well. Your post brought back some very unpleasant memories for me. Good luck to you!!!
you hit the nail on the head! Thank you for saying better than me. sm
He did not offer to pay for the car. When you are in marching band in high school you don't always have the luxury of working. He taught music lessons. That was enough for spending money not car payments. He has a scholarship but other than that I pay for everything.
We had a good talk this afternoon. I told him that there would come a time in the not too distant future when that trip would be allowed. However, I want a phone call before he leaves and one when he gets there. I want to know he made it safely. Honestly, I told him I was not mad about this and I understood that he wanted to see her, but lying is wrong. End of story. When I asked him if he was there I wouldn't have been near as upset if he had told me the truth but he kept digging his hole deeper and deeper.
I don't know what my husband is going to decide to do about the car. I asked him to consider leaving it. I told him I don't think my son will do it again. I told him that it is important that the girlfriend's parents like him and pulling crap like this is not going to endear them to him.
I put the idea in my husband's mind that maybe he could take a picture of the speedometer when he gets there tonight so that we know the milage. He is going to talk to him tonight. If he did that, he will still have local use of his car. I don't know. Everyone is pretty upset right now. Me, my husband, my son, his girlfriend, her parents.
I actually think that maybe he understand where I am coming from. I reminded him what if I got a phone call saying he was in an accident and severely hurt or worse and I think he is safe at school.
Wow - you hit the nail on the head - for me (sm)
"...hung onto the relationshipeve afer it was obviously not good for us. I think we just had to prove that we were good enough to be loved." That is exactly how I ended up in this marriage and exactly why I have been in it for so long. I was so determined to prove that I was good enough to be loved. Unfortunately, now there are children involved and I have to figure out what is best for them.
They come off when the nail sheds. Then you
Still a better option than declawing or getting rid of the cat. ALSO... many shelters in our area consider declaws 'un-adoptable', and often euthanize right off the bat, since many have behavior and/or litter box issues, and frequently get returned to the shelter after adoption. My declawed kitty had been taken to a shelter by her original owners, and the only reason she wasn't euthanized right away was she was a purebred Persian, and the Persian rescue I got her from pulled her from the shelter.
OMG! - you have hit the nail on the head!

Very well-put. You hit the nail on the head.

I think you hit the nail on the head.
I have also had a few more days to think about what the other posters said too. Whether I want to admit it or not, hormones do make the moment seem worse and make me want to snap into all or nothing.
You have some great ideas. I agree that she didn't need to get me a gift if she wasn't coming to the shower, and probably would have preferred that rather than get me a gift of the wrong gender. At any rate, I will send her a nice thank you and call her to see how her wedding went since I was not able to be there for the big day. I will also make mention to her that evening before I leave that I would still like to see her, if even for a few minutes. It's a male/female shower at a sports bar so if nothing else I would like to get to know her husband better.
I don't want this to ruin the small bit of friendship we still have left or my shower but she was honestly the only person I was really looking forward to being at my shower. but I must get over that and be greatful that we are still friends in some way.
You hit the nail on the head....sm
Everyone be thankful that you do not have anyone in your life doing this to you. You can say well don't answer the phone, don't answer the door, call the police. But when you do all those things and it still does not do any good you don't know where to turn. He has literally knocked on my door 4 times in 1 hour tonight. That is just one hour not the rest of the day. You would think after you don't answer it the first 5 times he would take a hint. Nope. I am friends with a deputy around here. My husbands uncle is also a deputy. They cannot do anything about it. He is on his own land. All I can do is move and looks like that is what I am going to have to do now. It definitely is not fair, but life isn't fair.
I'm wondering if maybe paste shoe polish with a layer

Carpet can be patched.
They cut out the damaged part and glue in a new piece. Depending on the carpet, a lot of the time you can't even tell it was ever damaged.
No, why did she put a pot down on the floor/carpet? - nm

carpet shampooer
Okay... I would like to have some input and opinions here. I bought a carpet shampooer a couple of years ago. I used it 2 times and then my sister-in-law who I have since learned is not great about returning things she borrows wanted to borrow it. So she comes to pick it up. I didn't mind letting her borrow it at all. Well carpet shampooing is something I do maybe twice a year. So I wasn't needing it right away, but when you borrow something I think you should return it you know. Well it is never brought back and I talk to her often so I figured well she will bring it back soon and when I get ready for it I will just simply go get it. I was hoping she would bring it back though because I have a VW Beetle and not real easy to fit the shampooer in the car. She has a pickup. Well about a year after she has borrowed my shampooer I say well I am ready to shampoo my carpet I need to call her and tell her I need to pick up the shampooer. Well I call her up and tell her and guess what? My carpet shampooer is broke. (Remember I only used it twice.) I said well I only used it twice it must not have been very good. She said oh no I used it at least once a month. (I guess she wore it out) She said don't worry I promise you I got your moneys worth out of it. I was shocked. Could not believe it. Did not offer to replace it or pay for half of what it cost. Nothing. So now I have to buy another carpet shampooer. I guess you can't be nice and let not even family borrow things. Next carpet shampooer will not be loaned out needless to say. What is your take on this? What should I say to her?
Does anyone own a carpet shampooer?
Like the ones they sell in Wal*Mart, etc? How do they work compared to something the the rentable ones (Rug Doctor)? Thanks.
Mainly speaking tongue in cheek, but he could remove patient info and let me listen.

I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head! sm
I attribute the lack of sexual morality among young people today, both boys and girls, to the lack of a strong father figure such as you had. (And I am not discounting the role of a loving mother in a child's life; however, they play an entirely different role.) I'm not talking about a tyrannical overbearing father but rather one who not only loves his daughter but also his wife and demonstrates the way a girl/woman should be treated. Skyrocketing divorce rates as well as otherwise absent workaholic fathers today have removed a very important piece of the machanics of raising moral children who have more self-respect for themselves than to go on rampant sexual escapades in search of a way to fit in with their peers.
You hit the nail on the head, so to speak
When I read your first line, I was going to post about the swollen/sore breasts. That was definitely what clued me in. I think it actually started before the first missed period with me.
Good luck! I really hope it's your time!
