| RE: Acne On Face, Back and Chest |
I'm an elderly lady, but as a teen I was like you, it was terribly embarrassing. I also have a very oily complexion. Many years ago I discovered that if you take Listerine, the yellow kind, not the one with the bleachers. Don't want to bleach your skin. All you need is a bag of cotton balls and a bottle of listerine. Once in the morning and then again in the evening. Take the cotton balls and pour the Listerine on them and cleanse your face. It may burn just a little in the beginning, but it's not to bad. I guarantee you that you will notice a huge difference the VERY NEXT Day. If your acne is severe you may wanna do it three times a day, but twice a day should be sufficient. Stick to this requirement, I still do it to this day and have beautiful skin.
You see Listerine is an astringent and it kills bacteria. I promise you this will work and it is very affordable. Good Luck ... View related article. |

| RE: Creative Ways to Serve Fruit |
Congrat's on the up and coming wedding. Your on to something with your creative way of carving your pineapple. I also enjoy fruit and vegetable carving, I would send some pictures if I knew how:~) zzlking did a great job on her first basket and as she said, you can place a head of lettuce in a basket and then attach your skewers. I am sending you some of my favorite links. I purchased a fruit carving kit at Big Lots for $5.00. All you really need though are some long wooden skewers and a v-shaped serrated cutter, and some cookie cutters. So here they are, lots of great ideas. Once again Congrats

| RE: Removing Texture from Walls |
What a mess you have on your hands. Please be sure and protect your lungs while you are doing this, wear a face mask and go outside often to get some fresh air. It wouldn't hurt to place a box fan in a window, blowing this outside as you work. I would get some plastic and cover your doorways and any electronics, furniture. You can staple the plastic around the doorways to seal off the room, you can fill in the little holes from the staples with wood filler when you are done. Or use masking tape to mask off the plastic around the door jambs.
I'm sure that all that old paint has hardened the popcorn texture. Usually when a room has a heavy texture like that, they are hiding blemishes. You are going to have a huge amount of work on your hands even after you get the texture scraped off. You will need to smooth out your walls and seams with drywall mud. I was going to recommend a floor scraper. But to be honest with you, this is what I would do. You say it's a older home anyway. I would gut the room, tear all of the sheet rock down, believe it or not, but it would really be less work and less mess to replace the old sheet rock.
You also need to inspect the wiring and the plumbing that is running through the walls. Recently my Mother-In-Laws home started springing leaks all through the house because the home is 35 years old and the copper is breaking down inside the walls. Drywall is 10.00 a sheet at Home Depot. Figure out how many sheets it would take to do your room and consider the work of trying to get that old popcorn down. Another good reason to replace the drywall is insulation. I would re-insulate the room, that will save on air conditioning and heating.
My husband and I do this type of work, we have a drywall and paint company. But we are located in Port O'Connor, where the fishing is great, I wish you well and please, once more, protect your lungs
