RE: Dishes Smell Bad After I Wash Them
How do you wash them? If you do it by hand with washing-up liquid, then do you rinse them? If you have a dish-washer (a machine, not your husband/bf... ), then you might need to clean it out. ... View related article.

RE: Swivel Sweeper G2
I don't know about the "G2", but we had the Swivel Sweeper for all of three days. We decided it was a load of rubbish. It hardly picked anything up. A regular dustpan and brush was easier to use, and more effective. The sales company (TVINS) refunded our money without question. ... View related article.

RE: Scenery: Lake District, England
How would it spoil it? You could get it printed up as A2 size (images 4 sheets of A4 in a 2x2 rectangle) In a wooden frame, it would look great. I lived there for three years, 20 years ago, but still think of the place. ... View related article.

RE: Don't Say It's For Your Wedding And Save Money
It's not lying - it's being "economical with the truth".

Anyway, what business is it to a vendor/shop/business if I buy a cake for a wedding, party, whatever? Or if you get your hair done really special, why should the hairdresser need to know if it is your wedding day? If you find you get charged more, just because a service is for wedding, but the level of service is the same, then that is unfair.

There was a case in the UK, where a major shopping chain used to charge more for ladies bras (OK, I've never heard of men's bras...) over a certain size. They said they cost more to make, but they never had such a price difference for other clothes or products, such as shoes. After public pressure, they relented and made all the bras the same price.

If however, your get do a bit extra special service for a wedding, say for a cake, or a hair do, then it is fair to charge more. ... View related article.

RE: Removing Ink from a Photo
I don't think you can. The solvent in the ink will have probably etched into the photo. If the photo is of sentimental value and you do not have the negative, and it is not too badly damaged, then you could try scanning it at a high resolution. Then you might be able to edit out the damaged area. ... View related article.

RE: Problem With Child Wetting Herself
I don't believe punishing her will help at all. Our little girl used to wet herself regularly while playing with her toys. She just didn't think to go to the loo. Her mind was too preoccupied. We just had to keep reminding her, every ten to fifteen minutes with "Do you need the toilet?" She stopped constantly wetting herself by about the age of five, with a few accidents every so often. She was pretty much dry by the age of six. She never had the problem once she started school.

Our little boy is now the same. He is three, and he just doesn't think to go to the toilet or potty. He doesn't need a diaper, but we need to keep reminding him.

Children are not being naughty when they wet themselves, and punishing them for it, especially spanking, should have been left behind with the Victorians!

Try rewarding the child for a whole day dry, with a small treat (doesn't have to be candy), or keeping a chart, where they get smileys and frowns for dry and wet days, and a little prize for so many dry days. Also, when they have a whole dry day, tell the, how good they were. If they have wet day, you can say it's not good., but don't be cross or angry. Yes, it wears the patience thin, when your running out of dry pants and your hands smell of wee, but they are just children, still learning to live.

RE: Removing Permanent Ink from Skin
Try an alcohol based antiseptic hand wash, that might remove most. You will still, probably, be left with a feint mark though.

But panic not, it will wear away. Permanent markers only stain the top few layers of skin, which are dead. So it will go as the skin goes. It's not like a tattoo wear the ink in injected into the living skin cells below the surface. ... View related article.
