Like cat suggested if you have left over carpet

In Reply to: Dancing With the Stars. I wanted to see who else was staying, but they (SM) - What should I do?
somewhere that is a possibility. We once cut a piece out of a closet so you never knew it was missing. BTW, Jennie Garth went home. Used to be a big 90210 fan so that was disappointing.

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

Yes, do exactly what kam suggested - more
They do that in our area all the time. Those riders will turn out in force, protect the family with a show of support, and not intrude on their grief. Please give it a try!
to the one who suggested
Hello! I just wanted to thank you so much for your suggestion! We had my daughter's birthday party last weekend and it was a huge success! The girls had no clue. I sent out bogus invites and they all thought it would be at 2:00 Saturday afternoon. It took them all a while to wake up and figure out what was going on when we'd pick them up. They had a blast going to the next house and waking up the next girl. They all went out for breakfast in the PJ's and we came back to our house. I bought boys undershirts and some fabric paint and they had loads of fun decorating them and signing all their names on each shirt.
I couldn't believe how often I heard "THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!" and "THESE SHIRTS ARE WAAAY BETTER THAN GOODIE BAGS!"
So many parents asked me how I thought up this brilliant party plan and I had to tell them all that I posted on here for suggestions and someone shared the idea with me.. I could not take credit and I just want to thank you!!!!
I want to tell you about what you have suggested
I think your call for a sympathy card is completely out of order. I think offending would be a good word if you sent this. The child has a malady that is correctable. Years ago my mother from nowhere sent a sympathy card to my aunt, her sister. No one had died. My aunt who was a nurse asked a psychiatric physician she knew what it meant, as no one in the family had died. The physician told her she has a death wish for you! I don’t know how true this was, but it happened. I would back off from much of anything right now, let the friend have a little time before pushing in on her.
You were always right, because you suggested this in
your 1st post, point 3).
I wondered only, but now you convinced me.
But she has to make sure to lcck the door between house and garage!
For those who suggested alcohol..sm
alcohol is a stimulant and will have just the opposite effect. Melatonin helps, but I don't like its after effects, and it does have some. I recently came across a native american remedy called Cloud Walking Tea. It is a tea and it works. I sleep peacefully with no after effects.
The ads I read suggested
Mucinex and it has no other ingredients, not cough syrup at all. That was the reason I asked if anyone else had tried and if any success.
No one has ever suggested biofeedback
dont have a clue as how that works. You would think asking up front - does the clinic treat fibromyalgia - surely to God they could get it right and a yes or no would save my time and expense from even going there - I spent a few minutes before working looking for an acupuncture clinic reasonably close- I would try that as one of the posts says above. I can touch my ribs and that is where the pain is and whether he says they cannot be front and back, I surely to goodness know what hurts. Not one person ever suggested the feedback though.
I suggested this on other board, but
reply was lost when message was moved. Are you perhaps allergic to this, or maybe you have an infection that you don't know about and it is reacting with a discharge?
My dermatologist had suggested but
I was disbelieving that it would really work, thought would take a lot longer than what you say. Was your loss extensive and what was it from? Do you still use? I am so hopeful now because feel I have found a kindred soul that has been in the same boat (or still is?). Thanks.
True, yet the lady still could have suggested since it was
the LITTLE GIRL she was dealing with when the mothers back was turned that it was worth more than $2.00. It really sound like the woman took advantage...Again, taking candy from a baby. That's my point. Such a shame.
I am so grateful to the post who suggested
this might have been my big boys problem because it was. At first thought I had gotten something smelly on me, threw away a good sweater but guess I had just had him in my arms and some how PVT and that is what my stepmom taught my brother and me- puke, vomit and throwup. Wasn’t she just great! The assitant at the veterinarian clinic was going to tell me does not happen with felines. Hold on, the doctor standing right there and sure enough, he expressed the glands after having to shave his rear end. That boy weighs 21 and a half pounds so he is a big one, probably cannot get to the areas he needs to clean good. Oh well, today he is at the groomers to cut down on that gosh awful smell he had yesterday. PVT again!
Yeah, I was gonna suggested a 'smackin'...
as the 'or' word, but I'm working on being more, um, understanding I guess is the word I'm looking for. And you know what, it's reeeeely reeeeely hard in cases like these!
OK, this is going to sound weird, but I'm surprised nobody else suggested it... sm
but the key to a good sex life is to know your own body. I mean *down there.* Without your partner! Get a little vibrator, they even sell them now at supermarkets and drugstores in the aisle where they sell condoms. I think the polite term is personal massager. Also get some lubricant. You can go the whole route with candles, in the bath, read a sexy book, use your imagination. Then once you figure THAT out, you can help direct your partner... show him what you learned. A whole new world will open up for you!
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.
Kinda off topic here, but I hate it when a husband is suggested
I never babysitted by own child, I took care of her, by myself at that, but that is another story for another time. Just wanted to share that babysitting thing!!!
And also, most men are not nurturers (sp), we know this as mothers, but yes they can and should participate in child rearing as they helped created this human being.
Guess it got moved. I suggested a large or 2 smaller

Someone suggested trying spraying Clorox on toes daily

Truffles, the other day you suggested chewing on coffee beans but
I think I found what I really need today and I had some Cuban coffee at a little shop up the street. I am in total love! The guy wanted to know if I knew what it was before I bought and told him drank some in a smaller cup in Santo Domingo, did not think it would be any stronger and goody for me, just hit the spot. The guy suggested my getting an expresso maker and might just do. I did not get around to chewing on the beans, though.
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.
I hate carpet and was so glad when
we moved to our new house and had tile downstairs. I really didn't want tile, but it is better than carpet.
The tile is very hard to keep clean though. Also, the previous owners did not seal the grout when they put it in, so I have a big chore ahead of me. Personally, I love wood floors. I would have them in the whole house if I could. My dad put in the laminate in his home and bought the good kind when he found it cheap and bought enough to do one story at a time since sometimes you can't match it up if you only buy a little at a time. It is very durable and doesn't scratch like real wood. It is super easy to keep clean too. You can't really use the swiffers on the tile because they don't do much, but on wood you can.
In the process of tearing up our old carpet
carpet to reveal hardwood floors and plan to sand ourselves - a huge project I am told - but sweat equity. You put down beautiful vinyl tile squares on our old linoleum which was over hardwood - I wish we had remodeled the kitchen ourselves - we got taken big time - so do yourself if you can. Congrats lady and best of luck!!
Is it just concrete and no glued carpet or anything?
If so, I'd just paint it with "concrete waterproofing sealer." It'll lock out any oogies and make the whole basement cleaner looking, brighter, and will most definitely lock away that smell which may forever be in your concrete.

Copy-n-paste this link to read more. We did it in our home because of the same darned pet poop/pee nastiness, as well as mildew (they stored maybe 5 cords of green wood in the basement and...just dang...). Well worth the investment and time to do it. I actually love my basement now.
This may sound funny, but I just set a hot pan on my carpet because I took SM
something off the stove and ran to see something on TV that I was waiting to hear. Forgot and sat the hot frying pan on my carpet for several seconds and now there is a big circle that is dark and the carpet fibers are hard!! Do you think Resolve would help this at all? The bottom of the pan was a bit greasy because I was frying something in it. I thought Resolve might at least diminish the darkness! I have done some dumb things in my time, but this ranks right up there.  Any suggestions would be helpful. (I already thought of cinder blocks, a rope and the river). . .
If there's nylon in the carpet fibers, it probably -

You're right! I did see carpet like that in Vegas! sm
Yours looks a lot nicer!
Bleach spilled on carpet
Yikes! My son accidentally spilled a large round area of bleach on my tannish-colored carpet and now it has a lovely orange spot reminiscent of the color old orange shag carpets. Anybody know if I can re-dye this spot?
I would try to find a piece of carpet
somewhere in your house - closet, etc., and have cut out the area and install the other piece - it will stick out like a sore thumb for a while as it is not worn - but eventually will look fine. You might even be able to find a carpet installer to help you with this

Any tips on getting paint out of carpet? sm
My daughter had a party tonight with probably 10 kids here. One of the girls spilled a can of paint in the garage they were using for their "haunted house" and stepped all in it. Rather than staying outside until she got the paint off with the water hose, she tracked it all into my house! I am furious! Of course, she wasn't wearing her shoes. She was playing and put my 16-yo's shoes on. I highly doubt she would go tracking through her home with paint on the bottom of her feet and she even came upstairs laughing saying I stepped in that paint that we spilled. I said then what are you doing tracking it all through my house, get in the bathroom and wash it off! She is 12 years old and should know better. Kids these days are so disrespectful.........Any tried and true tips for getting paint out of carpet? Should I say something to her parents? This is the same child I almost sent home earlier today because she slapped my 9-yo son and I did call her mom about that and informed her of what happened and if I had any more incidences out of her she was going home. Hitting is not allowed in my house period! Geez, can I say this child will not be a vistor at my house anymore! 
Well, I tried the Resolve today after work, and the carpet is sm
really no better at all. It is fried. Actually the round spot shows up better now because some of the carpet around it got clean and the round mark still dark and burned. At least I tried. I will just have to get a throw rug, something quite pretty I hope to take away the memories of a seemingly very small UFO that landed on my carpet! 
I'm eyeing up that carpet and that tennis ball sm
That looks like an ooooolllld carpet but in extremely good shape. Grew up with one like that many moons ago. Your dog must be kin to my 2 dogs who both sleep on their backs with all 4 paws in the air. They look so cute. Now that tennis ball looks like mine. I think your baby took it from mine as I can't find any of them..... Just joking.
Years ago had a mixed breed (1/2 pit) and he was allergic to the carpet! sm
We tried everything and finally had to put in outside. My husband built this beautiful kennel for him. He actually thrived outside! I missed having him to snuggle with, but seeing how his health improved outside it was the best for him.
post made of carpet? make one and upholster it.
my cast NEVER claw the carpet yet all the scratching posts I see are made of carpet.
Your cat may also like the height of your chair for 'pulling' those nails, stretching those limbs.
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.
Not left to me, just trying to add some help (sm)
He does got to an ESL program regularly at school, but his teacher (and I agree) feels he needs more help. She is questioning whether there may be a learning disability instead of just a language barrier and I am starting to wonder the same thing. I am not in charge of his learning in any way, but I really would love to help him if I can.
My left toolbar only
has "top" "home" and "contact" I will contact the moderator. Thanks for your help!
A decision on this would not be left
up to me at all. This is not something I put my 2 cents in about. Their parents would be the ones to do this, that is unless the daughter/granddaughter is of age where she makes her own decisions. I have both but someone elses decisions, not mine.
no she's not further left than Rosie....
like most of the world.........*lol*
You left one out ----- NO tree.

Sounds like somebody was PO'd to be left - sm
at home. If we leave them inside we gate the dogs into our dining room and utility room (the 2 rooms are connected) so they have 2 rooms to hang in and nothing of any consequence if they decide to chew. Luckily they don't chew on furniture but will rip up what is handy within their reach sometimes. Leave lots of dog toys and give them some rawhides and a pig ear. We had a chewer in the past, she ate a couch (down to the frame).....ended up penning her in the bathroom during the day, hated to do it but it was the only way for her not the chew up the entire house, other than that she was a great dog.
I had a dog once that hated when I left and would eat anything he could get...sm
We put him in an old fashioned wire dog cage and he bent the door down on it and then ate through the wall and then on to my moms sofa, pillows, and rugs. Needless to say mom was not happy with me or Rambo! He was just a stray that got so attached to me he would get angry when I left him. Ended up taking him everywhere I could!!
So you all have left your husband over sm
the same situation? I just need to validate that it's okay for me to feel this way. This has come to a point where it is just ridciulous and he makes me feel like I am wrong for feeling this way or even telling him I can no longer live like this.
I have 3, one on my left biceps, one on
upper chest. I got them all when I was young.
NO! I left mine at
the bridal shop until the day before the wedding even.
I'm so fired up left off, "I don't THINK its right! nm
