Here's a tip: Put fabric softener and hot water in spray bottle and spray the paper down. Works

Listerine is what I use. But vet sounds like a good idea first. nm

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. 
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.


People should have powdered formula/mild. Mix it up one bottle at a time.

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

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.


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!!


Spray might stain carpet underneath. Put a plastic bag with a paper towel under the foot pedal while

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.

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