This may help... Folex Instant Carpet Spot Removal spray. Long ago, a guy at Home Depot told me they use it to spot clean carpeting & remnants & it always worked, fast.
I used to have a Big Green Machine & I like the concept of wet and/or hot spot cleaning, but it cleaned nothing, including car seats. Someone recommended it & I bought it for $100 on sale... donated it to the Goodwill.
Folex took out a 2 sq ft red wine stain that had been lingering for 4-mos in beige carpeting & also the red Cool-Aide or whatever juice a neighbor's little monster lunch-lost all over another section of my carpeting.
Spray & with a wet sponge, rubbing it makes it magically, instantly disappear before your eyes. Bonus is, there's no scent. I've also used it on tapestry pillows & a wool jacket... all successfully with no damage to fibers.
It's very pricey at some stores (Ace Hardware, Bed & Bath) & cheap at others (Lowes or Home Depot, I forget which, so shop around online before venturing out). I think I paid $8 for a very large bottle (I'd guess 22-oz). I forget if Target has it. Hope that helps.
Is this nontoxic for fur babies?0 -
Slow gas pumps. 17.5 minutes to pump 30 gallons into the truck. But, I had plenary of time to chat with the gals and even had time to organize the Ram boxes. 🤷🏼♂️ So I guess it’s ok.
And ticks. Already pulled 2 off me today.
And sweat bees. Annoying little *kitten*.4 -

You'll have to research it. I'd assume all chemicals are toxic for any living creature.
I avoid them at all cost, unless there's no other choice. With red stains in beige carpeting in a rental... I just needed to remove it. All I can say is it worked & equally important, with asthma, there was no scent.
Good luck.
ETA: It's used for spot treatment, not cleaning the entire carpet, if that helps.2 -

Don’t read the comments, you’ll feel better.
How old is old?
I’m 60, that’s pretty old but I NEVER had a 24” waist, at least not as far back as I remember.
Of course, the 1970s kept some of my braincells. 😂
Ignore that ****, it really can be a downer. 😊✌️

I thought pollen season was over. This week, I've had gradually worsening stuffy nose, post-nasal drip, itchy eyes & a low grade headache, so something new must be growing, I guess.
Today, I need aspirin & a small can of Coke, which seems to help banish headaches, in the rare times I have them. I avoid both (drugs/sugar), but, the strong cup o' java didn't help... neither did sleeping an extra 4-hrs. I'm just trying to avoid having to take an antihistamine for a day or 2, cuz even the ones which claim to be non-drowsy, aren't for me & I lumber about like a zombie, incapable of engaging thought processes, 'til they wear off.
All in all, it's good... just mild rock kicking & venting on my part.
Have a good week, All!4 -
Yellow jackets. Grabbing PHup out the shed.
They lit me the eff up.
Y’all’s dead.3 -
The heat. Wearing a boot on one leg to help with ankle and having the pain in the other hip be even worse.6

Why, I remember way back in my day, my waist was smaller than 24", I believe it was in 1953 when I was born.
Haha it was the 70's for you too? Who was the keeper of all those brain cells?3 -

It’s all good. Only hurts for a minute or three. Then itches. The welts itch.
If anyone is curious, the key is to bow up and not go all ape *kitten* swatting at them. Only a few will follow if you calmly haul yourself away.
It’s not the sting but the itching that I hate.
Of course, I’ve never been on heavy machinery and attacked so probably a much different experience for him.3 -

Yikes!! Those are painful nasty aggressive little critters. And no matter what Tman suggests, it's built into my nature to swat those Ba$tards before they ever get near enough to me. I get a tad crazy near them, probably frightens them as much as me. Hope your ex is alright and not allergic at all.
Reminds me of kind of a funny story. My sister was mowing their bank many moons ago and started jumping up and down all frantic like(yellow jacket nest). Her dh was standing at the top watching her, while sipping coffee. She finally makes it to the top of the bank and asks him what he was doing and why he didn't come down to help. He said 'I thought maybe you ran over your foot with the mower'. Either way.....

I can assure you, 20 inch waists were not commonplace. Not without a corset or girdle, anyhow.
I have a thin tall frame, and was extremely skinny way back then, and I don’t think my waist ever got below about a 26. And that’s if I sucked my gut in.
Those people are misremembering pretty badly.honey_honey_12 wrote: »Fidgetbrain wrote: »That I always upset myself by reading comments from old people on any weight related article 👍 They always be like “back in my day, 20-22 inch waists were commonplace and if you were over 24 inches you were a big disgusting fatty 🤢” Like bro how can that even be healthy cause at bmi 17.5 mine is simply not budging under 24 😭.

Agreed.
And yes, vanity sizes are a thing.
The takeaway message should be “never trust a size label in women’s clothing”
Not that certain sizes are bad.
But of course toxic people love to body shame. Which is definitely a nasty nasty habit.
Also?
The good sizes are the ones that look good on you.

A pound of fat has more VOLUME and less DENSITY than a pound of muscle. They both weigh a pound though. No math, just mag... I mean science.5 -

No. They (the "fat jeans") are just like everyone else with eyes and think you have a cute butt and want to pinch it.4 -
