nail polish remover
i used nail polish remover
didn't remove color from couch either, also have tan leather and 2yo got a black marker left by 16yo brother
How about nail polish remover?
NM
did ya try acetone or nail polish remover?..nm
.
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

Anyone know a good way to remove nail polish from carpet? - sm
My daughter spilled nail polish on the carpet in her room, so now I have a long line of pink nail polish on the carpet. Tried with nail polish remover, but not much help. Any ideas? Thanks.

you need a trick
Get some apple pie spice or cinnamon, whatever you got, sprinkle it on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven on WARM. Do this after your 500 degree sterilizing.
Your house will not smell like rat pee.
Good for you fixing your own stove!
It's my DH who is looking for a better polish LOL nm

Benadryl does the trick for me and
also if you have an itch, hey, it takes care of both. I absolutely cannot take it while working as it kicks in the sleepiness.
The one where the dog learns a new trick - how to
I think they're advertising for Stanley Steamer Carpet Cleaner -- and the dog has his butt spread on the floor and is pulling himself across it and the kid yells -- mom look the dog's learned a new trick and the mom totally freaks. Absolutely love that commercial.
My favorite commercial that isn't on anymore are the identity theft ones by citibank -- like when the 2 old ladies are on the couch and making the driving noises and the one says - that was fun and the other one says- yeah (with a southern drawl).
I think it's a kind of mean trick. (SM)
I'm surprised it's so popular. I think it is one of several things that caused me to be quite cynical about life. Some people will think that's over-reacting to a fun myth, but it's almost like proof that real life is too boring or kids are gullible so let's make stuff up and see how long they believe it. Too bad logic can easily follow that God is also made up.
Not THIS board - is that a new SS trick?
wouldn't put it past her.
trick or treat?
I'm figuring the way this day is going that I will turn off my lights, sit in the basement and eat 2 bags of Snickers instead of handing it out tonight. I hear those little candy bars up in the pantry calling my name. I figure I am saving the neighborhood kids from cavities, weight gain, stomachaches and a night of bouncing off the walls. I know they'll thank me later.
I like Eucerin, but the trick is
to put the lotion on while your skin is still wet from the shower.
What's your trick for staying awake? (sm)
I don't sleep well at night, even with taking a pill, and during the day lately I'm finding it harder and harder to say awake. I've had 2 caffeinated beverages but that's not helping. Smacking my face isn't helping. It's killing my line count. Right now I have a clothes pin on my earlobe causing just enough pain to keep me momentarily alert, but I don't expect this to last. Any suggestions?
good! that is the trick, now stick to it!
hold to your guns, girl. dont let him go along good for a while and then stop. you are taking the right way, its not easy, and it may not end up with ya'll together, but you will then be able to look everyone, including him, and say i left it all out there. be sure though that you find something for yourself that will build you up! that is key to this. will make you stronger to deal with him and also if the time comes that you have to go, you will KNOW you can do it on your own. God bless your home.
There is a trick for dogs that might work.
If a dog eats too fast you put a ball or rock in the bowl with the food and he has to eat around it.
I've never tried it, although come to think of it, it might help my CJ.
Oh, another non-poisonous trick someone told me...
This didn't work for me personally because I had a rat problem in winter and the water kept freezing but...
Locals here told me to get a 5-gallon plastic pail and fill it 1/3 of the way with water and then dump in just enough birdseed or dry dog/cat food enough to cover the surface of the water. Theoretically the varmint is supposed to go in for the food but wind up drowning because it can't get out. Makes sense enough, but like I said, I never tried it because my rat problem was in my barn, in winter, and it would've froze solid. The damage I found after poking around was INCREDIBLE and very angering. I went with bait blocks and never did find a rat--guessing they crawled off to die.
Abstinence of ALL alcohol is the trick !!!
This method will allow you to know what you are doing at ALL times and prevent taking the life of another individual. Easy on your organs, too. Good example for your children . . . and on and on and on
My hubby is Ukranian and Polish, sm
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.
Is there a trick to changing the ink jet on the HP printer. Seems to be a problem for me. Just a
small personal one. nm
Of course! Stealing? That's the oldest trick in the book. lol
I guess she figured what does she have to lose if she thought she was dying. :(
Anybody have any April's fool trick today?
In past years, my boss has tricked me; my exhusband tricked me (bad) and I got even. It is noon EST and all I got was my local newspaper e mailing me their headline that BigFoot was spotted in a nearby swamp. Hope that's all the tricks I get today... anybody got a good one to share? Happy April 1st!
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!
What is everyone giving out to trick-or-treaters? Beside the standard candy? nm

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

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!
I think you hit the nail on the head as far as comparing
Adam to Steven Tyler. In the early days of Aerosmith, I LOVED them, but after he developed his 'signature scream' and did it in every single song to the point of sounding stupid, it got so monotonous that I can't stand him anymore. I still like the early stuff though. Adam is like Steven Tyler now that he's not good anymore.
Simichrome metal polish is one, but I forget what result you need. Rubbing it

I do think dark furniture would be most
dramatic. Plus, dark furniture with simple lines is very in right now if you watch the decorating shows. It is a nice-sized room, similar to mine.
I can suggest staying away from furniture with oversized posts. My parents got a bedroom suit a few years ago with posts that were of a large diameter, around 5 or 6 inches, and it looks heavy and odd in their room IMO.
that would be the dark side.
and I have moved on. this conversation is so over for me.
Just a shot in the dark here, but
it sounds to me like he has a warped mind regarding sex and women, the most likely culprit being pornography, or childhood abuse.
