ink on leather recliner
First, do not use fingernail polish remover because it will actually melt the leather as it does if you get it on any plastic surfaces, even frames of eyeglasses.
I love Mr. Clean magic erasers too, but I cannot use them on my countertops because they actually distort the look since I chose countertops with a sort of matted finish, and you have to be very, very careful how hard you rub or it will ruin your leather recliner, let alone pull the color out, though works great on stoves with no muscle.
Of note and this may not work on leather, my hubby and I have a boat on Lake Erie and upon deciding to purchase the boat, it had only 35 hours on the engine which makes the boat brand new, but the owner never cleaned this boat. It has white leather seats, now anyway, but before I cleaned them, those 4 white leather seats and white leather engine cover were stained from wet leaves off trees and had scuff marks all over them, and 2 ink marks. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased, try not to laugh, "Castrol Degreaser" in a purple bottle and every single mark came off those seats.
I do love those magic erasers but you really have to watch, though they do remove anything and everything, they will also pull off color and/or leave dull marks on floors, walls and anything else with a semi-flat or dull surface.
This Castrol Degreaser works like a magic eraser, but the degreaser does not distort color in any way whatsoever. I have used it on scuff marks on walls, floors, and wood without having to worry if it will ruin the finish.
But....definitely DO NOT USE FINGERNAIL POLISH REMOVER.
Anyone find as you get older you get a more interrupted sleep pattern and sleep less and wake up
more at night. Any suggestions for this.
Time. That's all it takes. I took in a recliner full of smoke and a few years later sm
looks brand new and smells like my own home now. It was really bad with smoke. Same with books. It just takes time. It will eventually go away. Unfortunately, nothing I know works for that without ruining the books.
Sleep....beautiful sleep.... nm

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.
I want some dark, really rich
coffee and I do not know what to buy to get this taste. I have used Folgers, Maxwell House and others and never can duplicate what I drink at other places. As far as the Starbuck's I usuallly buy when out and around and just to give me a perk up. I can take or leave. What kind of coffee is really rich and good tasting, anyone?
Love this, too! So dark and it has such intensity. nm

Definitely good bread - something dark or rye, or

I thought cats could see in the dark. Why do they

Bags/dark circles
Eyederma will definitely get rid of the dark circles, but it is expensive and it also dried under my eyes and made the wrinkles more noticeable. I tried Borba eye rejuvenator and love it. It definitely shrinks the bags and gets rid of the dark circles. I got mine from QVC, but if you Google Borba, they also have their own website. Hope this helps.
Exactly. If you were in a small dark place that
that was too dark to be able to see, you'd still be claustrophobic.

I lived with dark green paneling for almost 20 yrs in the
living room then finally took the plunge. It took a coat of primer and 2 coats of the light colored paint I wanted, but it was so worth it. I took before, during and after pictures and the difference it made is unbelievable.
A dark rustic plank would probably be fine;
just don't do walnut! That's what my brother & his wife chose, and although we think of walnut as hard, theirs scratches terribly.
I house I'm drooling over has very rustic dark wood floors. If you had a big dog I might suggest tile as another idea, but with a small dog, nah.
Definitely modern, kitchen has dark blue
walls and cabinets, all built in white. Have dark brown slate on floor, so those are the colors and just drawing a blank about the counters.
I have the same problem with dark circles under my eyes. I also
notice it in pictures and just hate it. I know there are products over the counter that specifically say they work with the dark circles, but to date have not tried any of them. The Preparation H is only supposed to help with the puffiness.
Nitwits drive around at dusk/dark with no
headlights on in a gray or black car, no less.
quiety disappear in the dark night.

Concealer for dark spots & moisturizer.
Anyone know of a trick to get dark nail polish off a light rug? Help!

Dark blue walls and white cabinets?
Not entirely clear on that....but I think stainless steel would look good. They are also doing amazing things with concrete countertops. Check out the link.

I've read all the posts and was gettin' very hot with the ignorant ones...I didn't know what to say bkz I had too much to say and I could write an epistle.
My husband of 25 years is very similar...keen observer, listens and gleans information from all the chatty folks before he makes a statement. Ya gotta be wary of people and their intentions. I was naive and didn't learn that till we moved to the south.
We've got 2 sons, one is very outspoken and the other is very reserved, (both musical and visual artists in all different mediums and genres). When asked in a humanities class "What's the name of BB King's guitar?" my son said "Well, which one, Lucille 1 or Lucille 2?"
Having oreo and zebra scratched into their artwork in woodshop by mean-spirited kids was rotten....But, when one brought a noose on the bus and said "I'm gonna hang all ya'll" we went to address it at school...The only thing we got from central office and the principal was "He was only a-kiddin'". My husband nearly went off...man of few words but about to strangle someone (school district was 99.5% ivory white) .
So, does your hubby play an accoustic or electric?  Cat
Rainy, cool, dark. Home working with plenty of work. Hubby and kids are sm
picking up toys, taking them to Goodwill. LOVE days like this.
You don’t need less sleep
you just sleep less and I just tell the younger ones to enjoy their sleep while they can. I miss the days when I could sleep 10 hours or so.
sleep
don't go to bed right after you have been doing a lot of 'mental work' reading works well to help me fall asleep, not necessarily stay there. I find when I am the worst is when I do a lot of mental activities right before bed. I just can't 'turn it off'
getting enough sleep
is one of the keys to losing weight- if you don't get enough sleep it actually makes it harder to lose weight, I think because of extra cortisol. Plus we probably eat more when we are tired and need more energy.
I know how you feel though- I was able to lose 70 pounds but now have come to a dead standstill where I keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds and never going below that. I still have at least another 30 pounds to lose. Its very frustrating!
Sleep MD
You can find this at walmart. I'm going through the same thing, and I don't want to take anything strong because it just makes me fuzzy the next day. Sleep MD works pretty well. Give it a try. 
I always sleep better when I have our 7 yo between us
Hey, Unreal.. I also nursed her until she was 3 years old. Really unreal, huh? I sleep much better when she sleeps with us. She has a 20 yo brother who slept between us until he was at least 7, then always would bring his sleeping back in and sleep on the floor next to our bed. We continue to have a strong bond with him even though he is grown up and now out of our home. And no sicko hanky panky going on in our bed either. Country MT, your son will be closer to you for the rest of his life because of the close, loving bond you are forming with him right now. It will make all the difference in the world when he goes through those teen years, believe me.
i used to sleep like that :)
I'm thankful for people like yourself that take these animals in. My family (and extended) growing up always got their animals from the pound. All our's and our daughter's have been abused, rejected and/or abandoned. It is so rewarding to see them happy and your friend looks happy too!!
Have you tried Sleep MD?
You can buy it otc in drug stores and Wal-Mart. It works pretty well and has "natural" ingredients - not sure what's in it but you don't have that foggy feeling when you wake up.
sleep
Are you stressed about something? Try putting on some soothing music at bedtime and do conscious meditation, deep breathing to relax yourself and let go of the stress. Other than that, there are herbal preparations that help.
I NEED my sleep!
I've gotten by on less than 8 hours of sleep, but it's not a pretty sight. I'm like a zombie and can barely keep awake in the afternoon. But I really like to sleep, too! I like the feeling of drifting off, and I love the feeling of waking up after UNINTERRUPTED sleep. And there's the rub! Hubby snores, and he wakes me up. Or, because he goes to bed before me, he's already snoring when I come to bed, and that keeps me from falling asleep. Ear plugs don't do it for me. Now that I have a son in college, I've taken to sleeping in his room when he's away, and I get much better sleep. I've been able to train myself to sleep less in the past, perhaps just 5 hours a night. But I couldn't sustain it longer than 2 or 3 weeks before I'd just crash and burn. I think some people can do it, but I'm not one of them.
sleep
I think more important than how many hours you sleep is what you do with the hours you are awake. I can be very productive, or waste a lot of time.
These are associated with sleep,
not having attacks or strokes. Go back to your fly by night medical degree license.
Perhaps you should consider a sleep study for him...nm
I'd rather sleep on the floor
nm
All the below, plus maybe get a sleep study
Doctor sent me to sleep study because of my drowsiness and foot swelling and surprise, I needed CPAP. It's much easier to stay awake now. I do take the occasional power nap but it's not more than once a day anymore!
Sleep problems
Since I got in menopause I don't sleep anymore unless I take Ambien CR and my doc doesn't really like giving it to me. Says I should only take it every other day. Didn't take it last night and did not sleep AT ALL. Feel like crap today.. I think part of it is this profession, all the stress, etc.
8 Hour Sleep - sorry
should say 8
PAY NOW AND SLEEP ALL NIGHT
Once back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, I bought kitchen appliances from a big company. I had two cards for the big company, a regular charge account and a revolving credit account. I bought them on revolving credit. Someone screwed up and every time I sent a payment they sent it back and said I had no balance. I called and told them I had one. They said they would look into it. I would pay the next month. They sent it back. I drove to the big city 300 miles away (we lived in the sticks) and brought my paperwork from when I purchased them and the papers from delivery. Twelve months or so later they found out I was right and billed me. They wrote off the interest because if I had not told them they never would have found out. I still am glad that I did it. I was worried for all that time about that and after it was settled I could sleep all night!
Sleep apnea?
Came on gradually for husband, just got more and more tired until he was falling asleep when seated at work during the day.
Sleep apnea-
just had a young 39-year-old niece that died with that. People do not take it seriously enough. Hubs has and uses continuous positive airway pressure each night. His brother had accident, ran off the road when he fell asleep, does not use a machine. Oh well....Could also be narcolepsy- that is not good diagnosis either.
I sleep before I work...
so I get up at 4 and work early a.m. I know it's not as much bonus for the night shift (which ends at 6 a.m.), but its been worth it not to be so tired. I still have to tell my kids "no, we can't stay up, Mommy has to work in the morning," which stinks, but it's worth it for them not to have a grumpy mom.
Sleep apnea
For the 1000th time, I have transcribed a report on someone with sleep apnea syndrome who tried CPAP once or twice and then gave up and is still complaining of falling asleep in the day time or any time. Let me give you a heads up. I had it so bad for over 15 years, I thought I had MS because I couldn't physically function and it finally got to the point where I was hallucinating. I had to work 2 hours and sleep 3 and work 2 and sleep 3 around the clock. I now have right heart failure because out of every 60 seconds, I only breathed for 22 seconds. I've been on CPAP for almost a year now and I cannot tell you how the quality of my life has changed. Don't let ANYONE you care about give up on CPAP. It is dangerous to do so. I have not slept one minute without it since I got it. It all depends on how much you want to live with it or how quick you want to die without it. I'm still in good shape and can do anything I want now, but I have created a heart problem because I ignored the signs.
Sleep apnea
My sister and I live together. We are both overweight and are on CPAP. She is also on oxygen. The doctor told me my sleep apnea was life threatening, that I stopped breathing 90 times in one hour. I would rather learn to live with CPAP than die without it.
Sleep paralysis
It sounds like you have sleep paralysis. I've had it for as long as I can remember. It was really frustrating until I learned more about it. It's a sleep disorder and is a form of narcolepsy. I find that for me it happens most often if I'm lying on my back or take a nap during the day, so I avoid naps and sleep on my side. I will occasionally still have problems but not nearly as often.
I don't think it has anything to do with UFOs, myself! If I were you, I'd talk to my family doctor. I know it can be really frightening. Not being able to scream or move is very upsetting. Good luck to you!
Not sleep around with, my husband
This guy was from a good background, his father was mayor of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, his family -aunt physician in Birmingham, mother specialized teacher, his uncle nuclear physicist, we are not talking low class- but he chose to live the life he did- no one made him do this- he was a loner who wanted to travel and he did. We were married for 4 years and he had some mental issues but this like any other kind of illness is not what he brought on himself. And blame myself, no I don’t- likeable guy and my family liked him also.
