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

In a town hall
In Denmark by the mayor of the town.
birthday/fire hall
What fire department in the US allows smoking indoors? I really don't need to know. I'm sorry you had to endure that. Cat
Hi Cat! I was told it was at a fire hall, but actually was SM
more like a legion, etc. Hope you know what I mean. . much smaller than the fire hall which was down the street. I got lost three times, was not familiar with the town, even though it is not far from where I live, etc. Wow. . what a day. Thanks for caring. It is now 12:50 a.m. and my eyes are actually still burning!!
Anyone else watch Hallmark Hall of Fame tonight? Even cried during commercials.
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.
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 -

Like cat suggested if you have left over carpet
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.
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.
Sorry.. I meant
to say that they will assess a penalty on you this year. If you are unable to pay back the loan amount, prior to the end of the calendar year, the IRS will expect penalty fees. Your 401K company is obligated by law to turn this information over. If you close out your account, expect to have up to 40% withheld.
Meant to add
It seems as though almost all treatments for cancer have side effects which include a possibility of cancer later in life.
Oh, meant to say
I was going for guardenship of my father - set to be filed in court on Monday and he was killed going to see this woman over the weekend. I had no qualms about having the courts to step in, wanted them to because he did not want to listen to me, his only living child and next of kin.
I don't think she meant this towards the OP, but to --sm

OMG! Meant SIL!!! LOL!!!

Meant to say IS IT POSSIBLE? NM

Meant to put JW, not JV

Meant to ask you below
Could you tell me what an M-team and an S-team are? Also, do you know what an LEA is? It may be that we are in different states and the terms are interchangeable with something I have heard of (I think I read something about an SST team, may not be the correct letters though).
Glad you were able to get things to go your way! We have always been pleased in the past and our son has always progressed very well in their programs, receiving A's and B's on his report cards and major behavior improvements, but they missed the mark on this one, and when my husband signed acceptance of their plan after their refusal to try what we thought would be best for him, he told them what would happen and his prediction has come true.
Perhaps this was meant for OP?
Not sure why you would intend it for moderator--didn't see anything in mods post that you had to stop.
Sorry, I meant --looking at it the right way--- no msg
LOL -Yep, what is what I MEANT to say - sm
Running on no sleep and just not making sense. I stand corrected!
it's exactly what she meant, you know.

Well.....I meant....sm
the time before the first ice age. Kinda of hard to believe that we are heading to an ice age when temperatures around this part of the country can top 100+ degrees in the summer and stay up as high as 70 in the winters. Weird weather.....
Anyhoo.....I also like to melt about a half block of the big block of Velveeta and add a can of chili to it and heat through until bubbly. Really good with Fritos, too!
I meant...
I know someone with a dog that gets loose often, and sometimes it is beyond your control.
Well it is according to how he meant...sm
how he meant it. If he wasn't playing around and was serious then I would be mad. I mean you never want to call your child names.
yes, that's what I meant - Thanks!

(I meant, " CAN'T see...")
.
What I meant was...sm
There's no debate because I am not arguing against ESC research.
All she meant
was please don't put it in the subject line...I didn't watch either show until this afternoon, so when I scrolled down and saw "Talking about AI" (or whatever the OP said) I just skipped it and came back tonight and read it after I had watched. That's all.
I meant to say
When I looked back at my post, I meant to say my mom is the only person we will leave a sick child with if we absolutely have to go somewhere, not that if we absolutely have to leave them with her. My mom is a retired nurse, as well as having great mom common sense after raising 4 kids with all the mumps, measles, chicken pox, colds, flu, etc that goes along with it. She's also close enough to pick them up from school if need be. It's just worked out really good for all of us. Like I said, I think she and the kids would have missed out on a lot if she had lived far away.
Thank you! That's what I meant. nm

Don't be dumb. I'm sure others got what I meant ;)
