I use it all the time. Of course, the smell is horrible but at least it is better than some of that stuff you buy in the store. I usually rinse it real well after and then dry everything.

put a little white vinegar is a bowl and set it out.
Vinegar is a great neutralizer. I always have my stove exhaust fan on when cooking odorous foods and if possible I open a window. We had someone housesit for us who smoked in the house, even though they were told they couldn't. I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke and we had to wash all the surfaces with vinegar. I had a used car dealer tell me one time when I was complaining about a smell in a used car to cut an apple in half and put it under the seat, so maybe an apple would work too.
Elimiate white flour and white sugar from your diet.
Why not leave them white or off-white and use
accessories and window treatments to bring it together. Personally, I like neutral color walls and like to decorate around them. You can bring the rooms together with nice window treatments, throw pillows, and candles with candle holders.
Pier-1 imports has great decorating ideas.
Good luck.
Vinegar, perhaps? SM
I don't have a black sink, but for my fixtures, mirror, etc., I keep a squirt bottle with vinegar in the bathroom and wipe everything down once a day - SHINY!
I would try using vinegar
and there is also a product available at Wal-Mart called Out (found in both baby and pet sections). It is one of those bio odor cleaners, and works well for pet odors, but I would try wiping it down really well with vinegar first.
50/50 alcohol/vinegar
Works for me!
wonder if olive oil and a smatter of vinegar would
Vinegar also takes smell out. sm
I always use vinegar when I need to get a smell out.
Whenever I burn popcorn in the microwave, I fill a coffee cup full of vinegar and set it in the microwave. It always takes the smell out.
I've steam cleaned pet soil out of my carpet using vinegar and baking soda, and the odor always goes away.
Drench it with vinegar. It won't take the color out, and the smell will be gone.You can also add
baking soda to the vinegar. It works really well.
I use vinegar for anything with a smell. If the trash can starts to smell, I pour vinegar in the bottom and let it sit overnight. Then I just rinse it out in the morning.
Also, if you burn popcorn in the microwave, you can pour vinegar into a coffee cup and put it in the microwave. Then let it sit in the microwave overnight. By morning, the smell will be gone.
my grandmother used vinegar diluted with water on my hair
whenever there was a problem with lice. 
Keep a shallow bowl of apple cider vinegar on the counter.
This is something my mom did - worked for her, works for me. I set a small, shallow bowl of vinegar on the back of the stove or tucked into a corner on the cupboard. It cuts the odor down to almost nothing and keeps it gone. Plus, it's a whole lot cheaper than the over-perfumed stuff from the store.
I just dump them in a covered bowl with vinegar and sliced onion. nmx

You could bathe with a gentle shampoo or even dish detergent, rinse well and if you have vinegar do
a vinegar rinse and then do a final rinse. This might drown the fleas or at least stun them. If dog is light colored you might be able to see them and pick them off when dog is wet. If you have a dog brush, brush it outside and you might get some off that way. If you have tea tree oil you can put some around its neck area or on a collar if you have one. This is a fairly strong smell though and we've always had to wash it off the same day, though lots of people swear by this. I can't think of anything else you can do with stuff you already have around the house.
We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and have never had a flea problem, but now we can't seem to get rid of them and my dog is on 3 different treatments and I still find an occasional flea. She has developed a sensitivity to bites too and scratches all the time and can't take prednisone because she has Cushings.
Growing up we had a tri-colored Pembroke corgi. He was the sweetest thing and I still miss him terribly, 30 years later.
Your white cat
I have a feral kitten and I brought in a log for him to claw on and he loves it. You could try that.

White noise sm
I have a small TV and Bose radio/CD player in my office. I worked 30 years in a clinic setting and am just used to working with the sound of people around me. I have remotes to those two things, plus remote for ceiling fan/lite and DVD player on desk, lol. I think it might be time to get a universal remote.
White Chili
and homemade fresh salsa. Yum!
White tea and ginger (sm)
You can get it on the B&BW website--it's on sale now for $5, too.
What is white chestnut?...nm

The White House says they did not know about
and then went on TV to talk about taxes. I think if you watch FOX news you could see it was not democrats or republicans but everyday people who are sick of politicians lying to us. I have not seen any "Change" just more spending to pay back the people who bought this election. IMHO.....
white noise machine
I had a neighbor who had a dog who barked all night and also another neighbor who played music all night. I bought a white noise machine for about $20.00. I had a choise of ocean waves, birds chirping, rain hitting the house, thunder, so many more sounds and it worked..It would drown out the outside noises.I had tried ear plugs, calling the cops (the minute they left the dog and neighbor would start again), confronting the neighbors..nothing worked but the white nose machine..You can get one at any department store..
I have never seen a white man/woman in the fields.
Who would want to stand in 100 plus degree temps or, in winter, nonstop rain, chilly temps, working the fields or tending the cattle? No one who was raised with sliced bread; they'd probably starve first.
I was married to an ag man (cattle). The immigrants come and go across the border often (visiting family). It is not difficult.
They are keeping the price of the food you eat down.

Actually, there are many left, both black and white.
God Bless them all.
And I want the white chili recipe!
oh yeah, like white americans and others...sm
another one who needs their head examined - blaming all the crime in America on illegal aliens.....you're very sick......
Just look at the predators going after kids - NOT ONE IS EVER FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY - only white trailer park trash oh and priests.......pedophiliacs......
Gang rapes - usually done by white men.......
drugs were around way before the illegal aliens - street gangs were around before illegal aliens (think MAFIA and then Bloods and Crips)........
Geesh - you need to just quit posting is all....ill-educated as far as the street goes, eh?
look in the mirror before you falsly accuse Immigrants!!
Trailer park trash has been on the welfare rolls for 4 decades in this country!! They keep having more babies thinking they can stay on forever. Good thing the welfare laws are changing!!

Not a black or white thing
Am white, use reckon and fixin to, these are just southern expressions I grew up with. So funny told hubby I was gonna take my bath- he said well that was really rude. My grandson piped up and said everyone in his family took a bath. What a laugh that got! I told hubby the other day not gonna do something, just like beating a dead horse and spinning my wheels, no use. Gosh I wish I could think of more but mind is sorta blank on these at this time.
red and yellow, black and white--OK
Type as dictated. Oriental male and black male are both acceptable phrases.
Oriental, Caucasian, Filipino, Hispanic, Latino, etc., are all names of peoples/races and should be capitalized.
Color designations of race and ethnicity are not capitalized: black, white.
See BOS 2nd Edition for more information: pgs 366-367, 202, 70.
White Chestnut, keeps me focussed.

Is Pres. Obama taking into consideration how many U.S. based medical transcriptionists will be out of work when his medical records program, computerizing medical records, is put into effect? Thousands upon thousands upon thousands. This end result is never addressed, only how it will save jobs, save money......NOT from my point of view. I changed jobs 11 years ago to become a Transcriptionist thinking it was going to be a prosperous move. I am 50 years old. Where will my job be in a few years?
Can someone PLEASE call the white coats with the net for this crack pot?

crime of color versus white
Wow, to admit your prejudice..I thank you! I grew up in NYC and we had all colors, all religions, all beliefs, all lifestyles and I feel so fortunate as I have lived in different parts of the country and many have never even seen others that are different than them..I friend of mine grew up in Missouri and she never even met a Black person till she moved to California..Blew my mind. Yes, I do think the missing white girls or boys get coverage and believe me out here in California in South Central LA, Compton area, Blacks are killed and missing every day. I think our country has progressed tremendously in terms of racial equality but there still is much lacking. On the Natalee Holloway case, my heart breaks each day when there is still no news. I truly believe that Joran had something to do with Natalee's death and that they disposed of her body. Im just saddened by the whole thing because I think he is just a boy and I dont think it was out of malice or hate, I think whatever they were doing that night caused her death, be it drugs, sex and maybe she fell and hit her head, whatever..I dont think he set out to murder her but I do think he was involved with her death and then never notified the authorities out of fear, then disposed of her body in the shark infested waters..I dont think we will ever know unless he or the two other boys confess.
The Crisco white stuff (solid) or the oil? and did you also

White Sox so they can feel the glory we did last year
I waited 40 years for my Red Sox to finally break the "curse" and win the World Series. Red Sox fans waited over 80 years and so have White Sox fans. The White Sox have basically the same pitiful history as the Red Sox. It's their turn now. After my Sox won, I said, "There. Finally! I don't care if they ever win it again."
GO WHITE SOX! 
You're in or near White Plains?! I used to live there!
I wish I would have known that at the time!
Don't you feel guilty for being a white Christian?
Geez, you're responsible for everything that's wrong with this country - don't you know that?
That's what the sentiment in this country is anyway. You're only allowed to diss someone's culture, language, religion, etc. if they are of European Caucasian origin.
We have nothing to feel guilty about. If other cultures are jealous or resentful of us, that's their issue to deal with. We had nothing to do with their feelings of inadequacy for whatever reason they may have them.
I'm sick of having to coddle minorities who clearly hate us anyway.
So condescending and so insulting.
I used to have a cat named Dorothy too. She was gray and white.

Me, too, but we weren't allowed to use White-Out. We had to erase sm
all our carbons, sometimes I had 6, as we weren't allowed to use a copier. I wish we had a board of our own, don't you? Things are different with us.
I need to do the same, need some small vinyl WHITE letters though - sm
husband complains when he has to print out his work schedule (no printer on his laptop) and has to use mine to get to his work website but missing the E, D, S, C, N, L, and my < and > ---drives him nuts...so guess who gets to get the schedule for him! One of these days I will get some letters, tried Liquid Paper but was uncomfortable on the fingers and wore off fast too.
I am white and offended by that garbage post as
well. I am so sorry there are people like above poster in this world. A nice informatie post turns to garbage - oh well.

I love white tea and ginger but of course this is now discontinued
 Why does that always happen? I had so many compliments every time I wore that body lotion - from both sexes
white bread - not a good thing to eat but...nm
You turned off the white space setting. sm
First switch to page layout view, then go to the Tools menu, Options, then check the setting for white space between pages. You can turn this off real easy if you happen to click your mouse near the top of the page.
I have had the best luck with white keyboards vs the black ones--sm
I got one at Wal*Mart 2 years ago and still has letters on it. Usually go through one a year.
I use melatonin, Benadryl and white noise (sm)
I have a very tough time with insomnia. I take 6 mg of melatonin and 25 mg of Benadryl an hour before I want to go to sleep and run a fan every night. Sometimes I get six straight hours of sleep and on those nights I consider myself lucky! If I get up at night to use the restroom I don't turn on the lights so that I can get back to sleep more easily. FYI I have been taking the melatonin and Benadryl for about a year, recently had lab work done and my LFTs were good.
The letters will probably get more attention, if you put a little white powder in them...lol..nm
