try Listerine in a spray bottle
it works in my car. I had problems with ants getting in the car during summer. I was told to spray (soak) the carpet, and WA la... no more ants!!
I started using paper towels and a disinfectant spray. Washcloths were starting to gross me out..sm
I know it may be a waste of paper towels, but I feel safer and cleaner.
Spray might stain carpet underneath. Put a plastic bag with a paper towel under the foot pedal while

Lysol works great!! Either spray or Lysol Bathroom cleaner. nm

FeBreeze Air Spray
It eliminates odors in the air rather than covering them up. It comes in a variety of scents so you are bound to find one that you like.
We have a very small kitchen so cooking odors saturate the whole house, plus, to make matters worse, we have a dog so I always use the Febreeze air spray to get rid of odors in the air & regular Febreeze for the sofa, curtains, etc. Its a life saver!! 
I use Endust Electronics spray...
Look for a blue can. I'd never use anything else. It's also antistatic.
Other than that, you can get those special LCD cleaning kits (they come in packs of wrapped towelettes)-just look in the Office Depot catalog.
Will pepper spray work?
I was considering getting some as the dogs behind me mauled another dog (blind in one eye, collapsed lung, laceration on its front leg, back claws broken off from resisting being pulled under) by pulling it under the fence between the yards. Animal control says we can't do anything as long as the dogs are fenced in. But, it is just a matter of time before they dig a big enough hole to get under the fence - as it is, they look like they can make it over the fence if they try hard enough. Animal control told me to build a privacy fence with my own money. TG we are moving soon. I swear if those dogs come in my yard and get anywhere near my kids, I will be tempted to shoot them. They have bitten two neighbors already.
oh, when done? Spray Lysol Disinfectant...nm
Spray-painting daughter
Another thing that matters is the composition of the pavement, concrete vs. blacktop for example. Concrete is porous, and has a tendency to absorb paint into the pores rather than it just sitting on the surface. Heh. Relax, and think how much you would enjoy their little art project 20 years from now. It will wear off eventually.
maybe spray outside the house around the base? NM

Carry mace or pepper spray for this. (nt)
I just found the best spray for June bugs sm
and spiders, ants and those yukky black and yellow bees that go in the ground. I have June bugs something awful this year, hundreds banging around my house. And those bees were so bad last year I couldn't get in the garden, they had invaded everything and got in the house as well. I talked to a farmer who used this stuff called Suspend. He said it really worked but it was expensive. I found some on the web and mixed a couple gallons and went around the foundation, under the decks and sprayed a bunch in every bee hole I could find and wow, it's like magic. I haven't seen one bee scouting around the holes, no ants in the house anymore or in the gardens and not one spider. We get those big wolf spiders and I found 4 dead ones in the alley. It's great. It's $40.00 for a bottle (I think its a pint) and it makes around 11 gallons. I bought it at http://www.doyourownpestcontrol.com. No, I am not a distributor nor do I make any money off referrals. Just recommending something I finally found has worked.
Be careful with pepper spray, you'll get your dogs too
and possibly yourself if the wind is blowing just right. The stuff is extremely powerful and won't just bring down the offending animal.
I agree with calling animal control, as they are the "animal police" and the "people police" won't even bother.
The dog owner needs to be reported whether he was in his yard trying to get his dog back in or not. Sure, maybe the dog "got loose," but he should have at least been decent enough to apologize.
Spray paint is oil based. Regular cleaners
will not remove it. My recommendation is for you to go to the paint department of your local Home Depot or Lowe's and ask them. They should be very knowledgable about it. I used to work in the paint department at Home Depot, but it was a loooooong time ago, so I cannot remember what product you should use.
At the hospital I used to work at we used to spray ours with WD40 and never had a problem after doin

If you're going to be covered in bug spray & slapping at skeeters, I'd be as comfie as I could

The water bottle is a very good training tool
for cats (squart guns too). Get a good scratching post and rub it with catnip. I use double-sided tape that I get from the Foster&Smith website and the cats leave my furniture alone. (I have 4 cats). The log is a nice idea too...messy but nice in addition to scratching posts and such.
Not all combs/brushes are created equal and I have found that the curry-comb type work best. They are sometimes called a shedding comb. It is in the shape of a loop with a handle. I put a towel on the floor and go to town! In the spring I can get a cat-sized ball of fur off of them using this comb. Regular combing will really help keep your house cleaner. You still need to use a roller or duct tape placed around your hand to remove it from your furniture on a regular basis. Good luck.
Brewer's yeast in tablet form, Purple can Raid that you can spray on dogs and bedding
I tend to find that fleas love pink-skinned kritters the best!!
Carpet cleaner? Flea spray? Chemicals used inside his car? Restaurant food? New vitamins? Cold

Gotta open windows, spray fabrics with Fabreze, and boil up some orange peels and spices.

Water here, too. I fill water bottles halfway and freeze them
so I have ice water for the entire day. It's easier than trying to cram ice cubes down the little mouths of the bottles. I confess to having coffee, Earl Grey tea and a cola today because I'm too tired from the idiots who were rodding their cars around in front of the house from midnight until 3:00 a.m. last night. Oh, well. At least I'm off today.
If the softener doesn't work, then rent a steamer. nm

If you have a Hancock Fabric store near you, they have a knit ball and video that teaches you how to
knit.
I love to quilt, if there is a quilting store near you that gives lessons, that would be great. Mine gives lessons where you can finish a lap quilt in a day.
Also ceramics is fun.
saw a great show the other night where they separated with fabric strips that had been tie-died
using golf balls. I think this would look great and also be pretty see through so that your son felt like he had his own space but you would still be able to see what he was doing. With a three-year old, I guess you would use a permanent mount curtain rod so that he couldn't keep pulling it down. Good luck!
Maybe a bottle of Jose Cuervo

If an MT drinks a whole bottle of wine while...
working, there is NO WAY that can't have any affect. Yikes!  There she.he goes now! 
Nope..the almighty bottle came first with my EX
After 25 yrs, along with 4 before that of dating then he decides the bottle is more important....well it was & still is and I got outta there
The baby has to eat, whether breast or bottle
feeding. This is a time in their lives that you will only have just once and no matter how much you wish to have it again, it will never be. I breast-fed my youngest 30 minutes, every 30 minutes it seemed. It can be done if you have the right attitude and you have some flexibility in your job and your SO is willing to help out.
The 'Genie' (internet) is out of the bottle, but - (sm)
the medical world seems to think that in the case of MTs, they can return ours to the bottle.
We have it. We like it. And we're never gonna give it up.
I agree with mac. You might want to buy a BIG bottle of Excedrin before starting but the more you
type them the easier it gets. I also write down the phrases, which helps and have example reports. The words I usually do get stumped on too are the English words we use everyday. Keeping trying and they will get lots easier
the extra bottle for the shampoo is an excellent idea
I could prob do that for just about every soap I use.
People should have powdered formula/mild. Mix it up one bottle at a time.

Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

WATER and MORE WATER

A water gun would and should get a kid SM
disciplined, IMO. It's a toy and should stay home and not come to school.
At my grandson's daycare they get kicked out for making guns out of Legos! No guns in school anywhere, any time, any shape, form or fashion.
Lord, we made bazookas out of big sticks, rifles out of smaller ones, and handguns out of little bent ones. Then we proceeded to kill each other all over the place - the difference is that we didn't do it when we grew up.
Coffee and a big cup of ice water so far...nm

Yes, and that same jug of water costs how much after it's
been paid for with tax dollars, hauled in on trucks, and handed out by National Guardsmen and FEMA workers who are being paid and are away from their own families? That little jug of water costs more to the taxpayers than Perrier.
yes, and running water too.

try rubbing cigar ash into the watermark
Don't put in dishwasher, water gets too hot, but you
can wash in the tub or shower. I've washed mine 3 times in the shower. I don't use anything, just hot water and run over it a few times, let it sit for a bit and then run water again to get anything really sticky off. I then shake it upside down really good and then place it upside down on a towel near a vent to dry. It takes me 3 days to get it dried out good. I've used it in 2 days and kept getting errors, so let it dry a third day and no problems.
You can take a warm damp cloth and wipe over the keyboard. I would suggest unplugging it from the computer so you don't reprogram something. I also take an index card and run it down between the keys. You'd be surprised how much dust/animal hair you get out. I also turn my keyboard over and thumb it a couple of times on my tray and that gets out a lot of crumbs.
lots of water before eating
I haven't tried this myself, but I recently read an article about two very overweight men who lost tons of weight (not quickly, but gradually). Both exercised every day, starting off with very little and gradually working it up, and one of them said he also drank something like a liter of water before each meal, which filled up his stomach so he got full fast and it really helped him cut back on how much he was eating. I thought it sounded logical.
I really wish I could make myself drink more water..
but as a hazard of being a southern girl, I drink tea all day like it's going out of style 
Freezing water in bottles
It's great that you drink ice water, but I read that freezing water in plastic bottles leaches chemicals from the plastic into your water (potential cancer cause). Better to use those new ice cube trays that make finger-shaped ice cubes!
chug a glass of water

Your argument does not hold water.
A hurricane in those areas of Texas may indeed have never been so far inland, but that's the nature of natural disasters. For 4 years now Homeland Security has been trying to drill it into the minds of the American people that you need to be prepared for ANYTHING. Maybe next time it will be a terrorist hit. Maybe an earthquake along New Madrid. Don't you believe your survival should be dependent on yourself? Or do you expect the govt to swoop in and take care of it for you? The sheeple need to wake up. Get prepared and stay prepared!
I drink only unsweetened tea or water...

Have you ever made those water candles?
When I was a young teenager, we would make the water candles in a bucket of water. Got burned more than I care to think about. Made some pretty awesome-looking candles though!
