Household cleaner for soft top roof.?

any tips for on what to use on black soft top roof? Tried several coates of black to black but still looking greyish. There must be a household cleaner that does a perfect job? black shoe polish? ? ?. olive oil? ? ? Anyone know? ? ?

Household cleaner for soft top roof.?
If this is a vinyl top, go to Halfords and get some AutoGlym vinyl gel, and use that. Failing that, a company called Renovo do all manner of soft-top renovation products. If the hood is mohair or double-duck, then it needs very specialist treatment, and you may have ruined it already if this is the case.

Why oh why!!?

Why do people ask really dumb questions?? Like can I drink liquid shoe polish?

Why oh why!!?
some of it is because they are really stupid actually and some of it is because they are desperate for attention.
Reply:Its people who feel very lonely and have no friends or people who have nothing better to do with their lives so thats the only way they can get some attention.





those questions are very anoying, arent they?

Should i be confused by this...?

I went shopping for a flannel today, when I got under the shop assistant said spasm to you my old fruit pie. I wasn’t sure whether to shed my old daffodil skin and try again but the bus driver was watching sport on DVD. So I without thinking rushed down a glass or two and took the flight to Barbados. Was it the drink or the shoe polish that made the moon shine so strong or was it time for a change in temperature.

Do you like the name "Hallelujah" for my soon-to-be newborn daughter? (Serious answers only pls)?

My dh and I want to praise the LORD for bringing this little miracle into our lives! We know the name might not sound good in school and we are willing to call her Hallej (with a 'silent' j) or Holleh. We have tried and tried and tried for a child and doctors told us it was'nt possible but now the LORD has intraceded and we are having us a beautiful DAUGHTER!





Jones is the last name of my boyfriend, Hallej's father. Her real father is'nt in the picture. All we can think when we see her move is "Hallelujah!" She truly is a miracle baby. A test-tube baby. No, literally. We shoved a bunch of c*ap into a test-tube, shoe polish, insect repellent, cat hairs, sperm, Smirnoff's, ripe blueberries, chicken eggs, White Rain shampoo, etc. and our wunderful doctor, Rev. Marcus Aurelius, impregnated me, tube and all. A miracle of great proportions!





We are so proud of our little one and cannot wait for her arrival in Mid May. We think Hallelujah would be beautiful as Hallej, Holleh. What dy think?

Do you like the name "Hallelujah" for my soon-to-be newborn daughter? (Serious answers only pls)?
the fact is, kids would find out her real name eventually, and that is a fact; whether she fights with her friends and they tell the school, or they hear you say it, etc. and if they knew, she would be teased mercilessly for the rest of her school experience. children are very cruel, so please do not give her the name "hallelujah", despite its meaning. your daughter would NOT have anything to rejoice about if she is being teased.





what about:





Heaven Grace


Nevaeh (heaven backwards) Praise


Angel Halle (instead of Hallelujuah)


Eve Aurelius (after the mother of all humans, and your doctor)


Eden Aurelius (garden of eden and your doctor)


Rosary Miriam


Faith Miracle


Eden Faith


Mary Angelina
Reply:This has to be a joke the way you say that you were impregnated, it makes no sense to me. That does not even seem legal. And then at the beginning you say you and your dear husband, but in the second paragraph you say your boyfriend and that the real dad is not around. This has to be a joke.


But if it is not, I would just use Hallejah (pronounced Ha-lay-juh) that would be a cuter rendition of the name you like. Well take care.
Reply:i like it. it's very unique. but maybe u should try:





miracle


marvelle (means miracle)


heaven
Reply:no i dont think thats a good name there is other names in the bible u can name her she will get made fun of so bad do u really want that fr her? or make urself happy by giving her that name?
Reply:What about giving your daughter a name that has a meaning that expresses your sincere gratitude to God for his gift, possibly pairing it with a Biblical name as well? I think the name you are considering is a bit far fetched and others would likely poke fun at your little girl--not to mention it would be quite difficult for her to spell.
Reply:Ahhhh what a lovely story, im so pleased for you but please don't call your child Hallelujah for her own sake! why not shorten it to Hallie and just let her no the story of how her name came about, but not Hallelujah think of when they call it out on the school register........
Reply:How about using the name Heaven?
Reply:seriously?? naw i dnt think that would be a good name at all!! i mean many people love god and are thankful to have children becasue it is a gift from god. . . ok but they dont name their child something that will make them or the child regret it later. . . maybe just name her Hallej, or Hollen. . . thats pretty but u know where it came from without straight out namin her Hallelujah. . . but its ur decision. . .

Reply:Sorry but I think that is a really bad name for a child. Think about her future. Not only would she get teased in school but who would take her seriously in the work world. Try giving her a name that she also would love later in life and not one she would find embarrassing and possibly change. What about Michaela, that means gift from god and is a lot prettier.
Reply:I really don't think it would be a good name. It would be difficult to learn to spell and would probably get her made fun of.





What about Hannah or Sara (two women in the Bible who were given miracle babies)??





Hannah means grace


Sara means Princess





Or you could do Anna which means gracious and merciful





God was gracious and gave you a baby...
Reply:I agree its your baby so do what you must but children are cruel and will more than likely pick on your child because of her unusual name (just think of Christmas time). Halle would be an acceptable sub but please dont put the j on it or forever burden your child with having to spell her name every time it comes up.
Reply:No, i do not like that name for your son or daughter
Reply:Why don't you just name her Miracle?
Reply:No! How about a normal name?


Many babies are miracles, not just yours.





But seriously, if you MUST have "Hallelujah" in the name, use it as the middle name.





Just be sensible. Even "Halle" is a nice name, like the actress "Halle Berry". You just ruin it by adding a foul "J" on the end.
Reply:I don't like it for a first name, maybe middle.
Reply:Everyone had great answers to your question but at the same time no1 is truly going to understand why u chose that name for your baby but u and ur DH. You should have seen the faces I got for naming my daughter Symphony...lol... But who cares?? Just take your time and make sure it's what u want and if it would be the right decision for your child **Many Blessings**

Marijuana Related Question?

My friend bought some hashish, and he asked me if I wanted to try it with him. When I was checking it out though, I noticed that after I had smelled it, my whole body started to feel like it was buzzing. Dose this mean that it's good hash? Or is it laced with shoe polish or something?

Marijuana Related Question?
well hashish wouldn't do that to you...so it must be something Else, or maybe it was anxiety you were feeling.
Reply:Yes it does.The stronger the smell, the better the weed. But a word to the wise ROLL YOUR OWN WEED.
Reply:Go and ask a policeman. He is an expert and make sure you bring your friend. I am sure the nice officer will have some interesting questions for both of you. It would also help the officer figure out if its 'good' or 'bad' if you bring him a sample. There also might be something wrong with how you used it so make sure you bring the equipment too.





Good Luck!
Reply:ALL hash is laced with something, and if the drug itself doesn't kill you first, the disgusting chemicals they add to it will.
Reply:There is no such thing as 'good hash'. this is a toxic and dangerous drug which causes psychological and physical brain damage. If you use it you join the increasing number of individuals who seem to relish finding new ways of damaging their bodies. It is your body of course to do with as you wish, but think carefully!
Reply:My nose tingles when I smell weed.





But dude, I have no idea. Might be laced, might not. My best advice is to just try it out. Laced or not, it's gonna be fun.
Reply:hard to say... sounds good though!





Dr.... Marijuana is more harmless than alcohol... so there!
Reply:if the hash was not burning and you didn't eat it then you should not really notice any sort of buzz off it.


you have to light it smoke it or eat it to get a buzz


hash pot all that is safe . much better then alcohol . don't go nuts and smoke it every day . but if you were to not drink and just use that you would be far better off and safer all the way round. alcohol is very dangerous and additive. don't drink .

Dyeing hair black and dullness?

I have naturally dark hair but I love the way I look with close to black hair. I just dyed it this way a few months ago and already its beginning to get lighter. It also used to be (dyed) blonde. How can I keep it dark without it looking gothic and or dull? Like shoe polish black? Just for reference I have pics of how it used to look and how it looks now, as you may see in the second pic its is already beginning to fade on the bottom. Thanks

Dyeing hair black and dullness?
Get it professionally done, keep a root touch up on had, (it works on ends) or find a color boosting gloss. There's also a color seal that can be found at some drug stores, but you should make sure you want to color for a long time before using it!
Reply:go for blue-black rather than jet black. it will keep the shine.

1. Brown shoe polish will cover up marks on a brown colored paneling.


2. Cut your soap pads into 4 pieces to keep from wasting so much of it, they will last alot longer.


3. Spray perfume on ur light bulbs to make the room smell good (putting dryer sheets in the vents will also do the same thing).

Car wax......??

how do i get the nasty smell of car wax off my hands!!! it smells like shoe polish gone wrong!!!! I've washed my hands with soap like 5 times already!!!! what else can i do?

Car wax......??
Car waxes have oils in them which impregnant your skin like a skin conditioner or lotion. Best way to get rid of the smell is to either use a lotion (which will replace the oils) or cut up some lemons and rub them on your hands (used to do that when I worked in a fish market).
Reply:Go to the parts store and get some hand cleaner
Reply:Go to the auto parts store and get some wax smell remover.
Reply:The wax is...waxy. I.e. you need something to cut it. You can use dish soap and warm water. The best to get "car smells" (as my wife calls them) off is the lemon kitchen soap from Bath and Body Works. Not the moisturizing stuff, get the clear with scrubbing beads. The scrubbing beads really do work. Also, next time lotion your hands BEFORE working on you car; moisturized skin soaks up less grease, oil, smells, etc. Orange Gojo is also good.
Reply:Wax on wax off.

Is there racial discrimination in hiring?

This is a repeat to the same question now resolved. I need to reply to a person citing Reverse Racial Discrimination slighting Whites. I suggest you merely state you are Black on the application or in your resume. Let me know how that helps you out. If you get called in to the interview, perhaps a bit of black or brown shoe polish will help you get that favoritism you are talking about. But I'll bet a dollar to a doughnut you don't get the interview. I'm White. But I sure wouldn't care to be Black and applying for jobs. Its tough enough not being 6 feet tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Is there racial discrimination in hiring?
Sadly discrimination will always be there because were human. It would be futile to say that we dont prefer someone over the other. Take note, I said that while its futile to say we dont prefer it, our actions can be controlled.


Im also not in favor of quotas: that they need to hire 5 females at least, or 5 handicapped people.


Let the job go to the best qualified applicant.


I suggest people in HR be blindfolded when they interview applicants. Much of what and how we judge others is based on what we see (its something like 87% right? that we use sight to judge people, 87% of our judgement is based on it?) so it would equalize things if they were just like Lady Justice.
Reply:Yes, there is racial discrimination in hiring. There are all kinds of laws about it, but there are so many ways to get around those laws. Most employers want, among other things, someone they can identify with and feel comfortable with. God bless the ones who give people of other ethnic groups and races a chance in the workplace. And, yes, I am white.

Its called QUOTAS and its for real. I know some lilly livered liberal is going to cry the blues about this reply but its because they know I speak the truth.

When I was Little?

Does smelling petroleum fuels cause ne harm?

i've got this realy big problem of smelling petroleum fuels. i strted smelling whitner which contained tolune ,later petrol,diesel,n now m stuck up with kerosene %26amp; shoepolish. i know inhaling dese things isnt healthy i'ev quit on tolune petrol n stuff but i cant stop myself to smell kerose n shoe polish(i know u think m a totaly of my rocker person). whts the most tht can by inhaling these fuels? n how can i stop myself?

Does smelling petroleum fuels cause ne harm?
Oh my god. Are you serious? I'm addicted to pain medication but it's not as bad as smelling fuels and solvents. You need a girl who cares for you or a guy who cares for you if your a girl. You need somemone who loves you who's going to take care of you and help you stop. What about you family? Inhalant abuse is VERY BAD!





YES it is VERY bad for you. You will get major brain damage and could die easily. You already have suffered some brain damage i'm sure since you'v been doing it for a long time. Please get help go to an addiction doctor or find another drug that is less harmful. ANYTHING BUT smelling fuels! and toluene and horrible stuff.





Start smoking marijuana or something that isn't so bad for you. That is the most unhealthy drugs you can do u know. Smelling fuels is the most unhealthy thing ever.





You should find a place that deals with that type of addiction and they will help you get off that by using medication to help with cravings maybe or to help your depression or whatever is causing it.





Which country are you from? Please don't do this anymore. Why are you doing it. You must be a sad person inside. You must be lonely or something. Don't you have a family who loves you? Please tell somemone who loves you and get them to help you out.





The PERSON BEFORE ME SAYS SNIFFING GAS AND SOLVENTS IS MUCH MILDER THAN OPIUM and THAT IS NOT TRUE! Not true at all. Where are you getting your facts? HUFFING GAS AND SNIFFING SOLVENTS IS THE MOST DAMAGING THING YOU CANJ DO TO YOUR BODY! MORE THAN CRACK OR METHAMPHETAMINE EVEN! JUSTSO U KNOW!





Opium does not cause brain damage. Opium is addictive yes but does not cause physical problems or diseases. The addiction is the most damaging part of using morphine or opium or pain pills. Opium is codeine and morphine u know. It's not that damaging. People can spend their entire life on pain pills and never be unhealthy.





People can't sniff gas or huff solvents for an entire lifetime and be healthy it just doesnt happen. You will be sick and you will end up with mental problems and die soon. I give you 10 years of sniffing that **** and you're going to be dead.





He didn't mean he likes the smell of gas and fuels. he meant he is ADDICTED TO SNIFFING THE VAPORS AND SMELLING THE VAPORS which get him HIGH and give him a good feeling or make him forget reality. So don't tell him that opium is more damaging and that his problem is not a big deal because it is.





You obviously dont know anything about drugs or addiction. Solvent abuse is the most dangerous form of drug abuse out there so don't tell this poor guy that his problem is nothing because he has a very big problem and needs help with it.

Reply:well, buddy, its just another form of addiction.in fact, most of us like the smell of the kerosene spilled on the floor, or the smell of the petroleum vapours oozing out of the oil tank of a vehicle.do u know why ?bcoz petroleum is a mixture of aromatic organic compounds, which smell marvellously.


but but but, dear, if the smelling part of the brain gets an overdose of it, it sends impulses of delusion to the cerebrum, which controls our body control. to put it in short, its just like opium (hey, don't panic, its surely much milder version)





but u know what, i advice u to stay away from the overdoses.(i know itsdifficult to resist, for i have myself an attraction to it !)





but dear, there are much better things to smell in this beautiful world. then why go for petroleum products, dude ??

Maintaining ostrich leather boots?

I just got a pair of ostrich leather boots and I was wondering if it is OK to use regular black shoe polish on them. They feel great and I want to clean them up but I don't want to do anything wrong. The leather is very soft, almost like suede. These particular boots don't have all those quill "dots" on them but are smooth throughout.

Why did Bush lower price of sandwiches?

We all know Bush flew those planes into WTC, made kazillions of dollars from bloody oil money, lied about WMDs(just like hillary), and conjured first racist hurricane of all time.


While he continues to raise the price of bottled water, shoe polish, and college tuition, why do you think he picked now to lower prices of made-to-order sandwiches at places like Sheetz and Subway?

Why did Bush lower price of sandwiches?
He wants us to eat more of them so we will get fatter. As the nation gets fatter, no one will be able to fit into any of those tiny hybrid cars and we will all have to buy big gas guzzling SUV's. That, of course will result in the price of oil skyrocketing even higher because of the increased demand which, in turn, wil make Bush and his oil buddies even richer yet. And the libs call him stupid. I wish I would have thought of this myself!

Why do women keep playing with their looks until they cause a disaster?

I just saw Lindsay Lohan in "Bobby." She practicaly ruined an otherwise really good movie for me. Her hair looked like she died it with shoe polish. Even if the dye had "taken" properly it was way out of the range of her skin tone. She looked like Barbie's best friend Skipper with a Cher wig on.

Do you know that so called Cannabis Soapbar or Eurobar is mixed with all kinds of toxins?

Soapbar can contain dog droppings, Toulene, Benzine, shoe polish, and a host of other lethal products? It is mixed with these ingredients to bulk it up for increased profit. Please research what you smoke and don't buy, sell or use Soapbar. It usually only contains very small quantities of poor quality cannabis and is dangerous to your health.

Was this a romantic thing to do, or a little too creepy?

There's this girl I like, she works in the Mall that I do. We haven't spoken, but I've looked at her a lot so maybe she's looked at me? Anyway, I saw her getting out of her car and got her plate #. My cousin at the DMV hooked me up with her home address. I went there at night and tied 10 heart-shaped balloons to her car. Then I wrote 4-EVER on the windshield with shoe polish (it doesn't come off- who knew?).





The next day I came up to her at the mall and told her it was me. I was so nervous!! But she seemed more upset than anything. I tried to talk to her after work but she got in her car and started to drive away. I kicked her tires and screamed that I loved her...but I'm getting a bad feeling about this.





Did I go over the line?? PLease help!! Steve Simmons is heartsick!

Was this a romantic thing to do, or a little too creepy?
Dude you went sooooo far over the line you can't even see it anymore. You are lucky she didn't have you arrested. Creepy would be an improvement for you. Did she say anything negative to you, or call you any names? If she did, I'm sure you cried like a little girl who had her favorite doll taken away from her. I just figured, to how sensitive you are to people saying negative things about you. WAH!





Even though you are a little cry baby, I will give you solid advice. Keep away from her. Don't even try to talk to her anymore. You just need to move on and next time try talking to the girl before you start to stalk her. If she doesn't want to talk to you, don't stalk her.
Reply:I would get a lawyer because if you ever speak to her again or so much as look at her you will most likely be heading for prison.
Reply:That's borderline stalker there buddy.
Reply:Sorry, but that was a really freaky thing to do! Imagine if someone tied balloons to YOUR car when you weren't expecting it and wrote 4-EVER on the windshield? Kinda menacing, isn't it? Kicking her tires was also way out of line. Next time you like someone just talk to them, yeah?
Reply:You went into the world of stalking. I would leave her alone and hope she doesn't call the police on you for vandalism.
Reply:You're funny! Nice try!
Reply:That's actually pretty good. Be persistent. Romance always trumphs creepiness. Write a message on the counter at her job (Abercrombie??) "Youre everything I hope for - everything I dream....." permanent marker (pretty sure that will wash but better if not), believe it, she will be the first to see then 'woosh,' swept off her feet.





Good luck to you, don't be nervous you'll blow it
Reply:Are you serious? Do you really need to ask this? Wasnt her reaction enough to show that u freaked her out, bad!


This is called stalking - you researched her private details, like where she lives...and now believe u r in love with this person that u dont actually know...


this is a joke, right?
Reply:Well, you went a little overboard that's obvious. Now it's time to fix what you did wrong. First, talk to her as sanely and calmly as possible. Apologize to her but tell her that you do care for her. Then back off. You told her how you feel. She knows you did it with a good intention so what's next just leave it up to her.





Sometimes, it just isn't meant to be.
Reply:you are soooo creepy. You have to keep in mind, she may have never noticed you before, and so: Here's this stranger who's stalking her, and is madly in love with her from afar. It would creep me out. I wouldn't approach her. And saying I LOVE YOU probably ruined any chances with her. I would write her a note(leave it on her windshield, while parked at the shopping mall, DON'T FOLLOW HER HOME and do it!). Apologize for what happened and explain that it will never happen again. Tell her you went overboard. You didn't mean to scare her. Tell her if she is ever interested that she can call you. I wouldn't get my hopes up for that though... If all else fails tell her it was a joke. Only give her ONE note, and end it there, or she will probably take leagal action. Bottom line, leave her alone, let it go. Your intentions were good, but she doesn't know that.
Reply:You're not in love... you need psychological help!
Reply:dude, that is totally normal. i think you should do it one more time, but use 20 balloons this time!





she will love it
Reply:it sounds like u had good intentions but i think that was excessive..especially nowadays with all these creeps..id say it was to extreme and maybe u should apologize and explain that u were just trying to be romantic and u arent a psycho..hopefully she will understand..its sad cuz under like movie circumstances that would of been romantic but in real life kinda scary for some
Reply:That is really romantic! You should try beating her and then tell her that you do it because you love her so much! After a few punches, if they are hard enough, she will start to get your message. The harder you hit her, the more you love her. Thanks for the crazy idea mister.
Reply:That is called stalking and harassment.
Reply:Yeah sorry I agree it's too creepy. if you would have just tied one heart balloon and then a week later sent her a card and some flowers from say 'Mr. Right' asking her if she wanted to meet you then that would have been romantic, shoe polish and yelling... waaaay overboard.
Reply:wow I would have freaked out if someone did that and yeah its creepy
Reply:To be young and in love. I envy you Steve Simmons.

Is there a way to cover up or hide deep scratches on a leather sofa?

I have a cat that likes to scratch my leather sofas with her claws. Obviously, the BEST solution is to have her declawed; however this is not an option. I have taken care of the scratching issue with the cat; however the scratches remain and are not pleasant to the eye. I have tried shoe polish to try to cover the scratches but am seeking a better solution. The next step is placing the couches on the curb. Thanks!

Making a white trench coat brown?

I've been trying to turn a white/cream trench coat i have brown all week but nothing works. I tried dye but it wouldn't take to parts of the coat as it's partly waterproof. Then i tried shoe polish but it just rubbed off. I was thinking of trying spray paint but i thought i should ask you guys first. It's for a superhero dress up party (i'm going as Gambit from x-men) and i only need to wear it once, so don't worry about washing it.

We have a new brown leather couch that has sun has damaged a part to a brown/green. How do I fix it?!?

Our new brown leather couch has been damaged by the sun and a section of it is now a yucky green/brown. How can I fix it? I put a leather treatment on it with UV protection, but I guess it was not enough. Can I use brown shoe polish or dye it?

I seriously doubt that you will be able to dye this section of your couch to match. Leather is very absorbent and if you were to attempt to dye a small section, by the time you got to the adjacent section, the first section would be dry and you would not be able to satisfactorily blend the two areas together.
Reply:go to get a brown leather spray bottle and paint it make sure u match the color
Reply:Use a good leather dye . Be sure to match the color carefully , and test it on a part of the couch that is not readily seen to make sure you get the results you are looking for .

A quiz - how well do you know the rural Xhosa culture? (A dying culture?)?
I don't know all of the answers, but some of them,





The Tshawe and then Thembus are the most "important" amongst the AmaXhosa.





Ntonjane is the ritual of twelve days after a girl's first menstruation when she becomes a woman. It involves slaughtering a bull and singing and dancing in the kraal of the girl's father.





Hlonipha is rather complicated, but as i understand it, it is to do with avoiding taboo words and replacing them with other words- a practice which is dying out. If your husband's clan name meant "Long-grass" after his death or the death of the clan leader you would avoid using the phrase "long grass" and substitute it with something else. This can be nigh on impossible for outsiders to understand unless they be familiar with the whole clan structure and fluent in the local dialect of the language.





Amaqwetha are newly circumcised men.

What is the easiest/cheapest/cleanest way to make brown cowboy boots BLACK?

Have an old pair of brown cowboy boots that I want to be black. Should I use spray paint, shoe polish, what?

What is the easiest/cheapest/cleanest way to make brown cowboy boots BLACK?
Feed your cows more spinach (richer in iron).... Then jus go 'bout yor business working the fields.....
Reply:nugget for shoes, l had a horse saddle that was brown, nuggeted it black, made a nice job of it to.
Reply:For light scuffs and abrasions I use black permanent markers.


If you are going to dye the entire boot, then take to a shoe repair shop and they can dye it for you.





Spray paint, haven't tried it, wouldn't want to either.


Shoe polish might make it a darker brown, or leave spots that are black.
Reply:theres a dye for leather where to get i don't know then why do i know this ? gramma was a leather stream stress


call your local leather shop ( jackets,, vest etc) they might be able to dip them in dye
Reply:You will have to have the leather dyed.
Reply:polish.
Reply:They make a special spray paint for dying shoes. The costume shop where I work uses it all the time. Look for it at leather shop or maybe a good fabric store.

Poison ivy relief?

I just heard white shoe polish-anyone know anything else?


And no Calimine Lotion-that stuff is a joke!!

Poison ivy relief?
The herbal answer is Jewelweed which is a plant that grows where it is wetter like near a stream. Pick a bunch, crush it, and rub it on exposed parts of your body that might come in contact or have already come in contact with poison ivy. It is a juicy plant. It is more effective before the oils set into your skin that cause the rash. If you've already broken out in a rash,Collect some jewelweed and make tea; bring 4 cups of water to a boil then add a large handful of chopped up jewelweed and let it sit for 15 -20 minutes. Then strain it . Bathe the affected area or freeze it into ice cubes and apply the ice to exposed areas or areas that are already rashy. Jewelweed is used by Forest Rangers and National Parks Personnel to treat Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Poison Sumac, Stinging Nettles, mild burns, blisters, cuts, insect bites, sores, sprains, sunburn, warts, ringworm, eczema, and dry skin. It is a very handy plant.





If you've got the rash/blisters, try getting into a swimming pool for about 30 minutes which will stop the itching and dry it up in 2-3 days. You can also pour 2 cups of bleach in bath water and soak for about 30 minutes. Repeat if the itch returns.





Hope this helps. Be sure to trim your nails.
Reply:I swear by Aveeno products. They have always worked for my daughter, who is very sensitive. If you don't want to spend the money, then put some regular oatmeal in a sock and sit in the tub with it. You can rub it on your rash as well. I hope this helps.
Reply:benadryl or any other antihistamine will work wonders
Reply:i heard vodka works. and it was on myth busters and it worked
Reply:No, it does not.


It gets in your blood and can cause break outs.


A steroid shot will clear it up fast. Ask for the shot, not for the pills.


It is the only thing that works. Trust me, I have had it many times.
Reply:No joke - Preparation H or Lanacaine lotion. Both work well because they have a topical anaesthetic and an ingredient to reduce swelling. Work great on insect bites and sunburn, too!
Reply:There is a product that dries up poison ivy called IVY-DRY. It is a spray that when the soldiers go out in the field for drills or people go camping they buy it cause you never know where you will find it..Also for the itch you can take Benadryl as it is an antihistimine that helps stop the itching but it can make you drowsy.
Reply:http://www.missouriscenicrivers.com/Pois...
Reply:To treat a mild case of poison ivy, try one or more of the following:





For relief of itching, apply a paste made from water with either cornstarch, baking soda, oatmeal, or Epsom salts. Use 1 teaspoon of water to 3 teaspoons of dry ingredient.





Apply aloe vera juice, tofu, or watermelon rind to the area for cooling relief. Using 1 pint of buttermilk with 1 tablespoon of sea salt added may be helpful.





A strong tea made of equal parts lime water and white oat bark is very good. Apply a compress wet with this solution. Replace the compress with a fresh one as often it becomes dry.





Tea tree oil disinfects and heals skin conditions. Witch hazel helps stop itching and aids in healing.





Stay cool. Sweating and heat can make it worse.
Reply:undluted bleach will dry it up
Reply:oatmeal... try aveeno body wash.. its in the local stores.. there is one that has oatmeal in it.. it will get rid of the itch

Even more marine corps boot camp brutality EXPOSED!: DI punched me in the stomach because i .................

accidently had alittle shoe polish on my belt buckle. DI told squad leaders to give a recruit a blanket party, the recruit ended up with a few broken ribs.one recruits mother mailed him some cookies and the DI made him eat it all in one sitting and the recruit couldnt eat it all and the DI shoved it down his throat, please tell me, getting food shoved down your throat prepares u for the battle field?? i went in the gas chamber, i done the procedures required in the gas chamber, and the DI told me to "stay awhile". anohter recruit paniced in the gas chamber, he passed out, was carried out of the gas chamber, and once he awaken, he was told to go back inside and get his weapon he dropped, with NO gas mask on. i never read this in articles, i been to MCRD san diego myself 26 years ago and witnessed all of this. i done good enough in boot camp to make honorary PFC upon completion of basic training. i aplaud the USMC in many things but some of their training tactics is simply abusive

Even more marine corps boot camp brutality EXPOSED!: DI punched me in the stomach because i .................
I think you live in a dream world. They don't make anyone honorary anything. It's called meritorious promotion. And the only people who get meritorious promotions in boot camp are the platoon guides. Why did you have shoe polish on your belt buckle anyway? Marines are very meticulous about their uniform appearance so if you were stupid enough to get boot polish on your belt, you obviously didn't take pride. Maybe the DI pushing you in the stomach was the only way to get the point across. As far as we know, he could've tried a million other ways and you didn't pay attention. You say all this happened 26 years ago? How can you compare that to now? You don't need to be posting this crap on Yahoo, you obviously need to be saying it on a psychologist's couch.
Reply:You are such a P%26gt;U%26gt;S%26gt;S%26gt;Y... you post here EVERYDAY crying about boot camp. Jeez, get a life.





The amercan way- always try to blame someone else.

Reply:I have been in the military for a while now and I have seen some things that would make your head spin, but stories like this makes me wounder if this actually happened or if it is just some schmuck trying to get his 15 minutes of shame.
Reply:What do you think would happen if you had been captured and become a POW. If you prepare for the worse, it will be that much less of a shock when it does happen. It's no secret that the Marine Corps is tough.





Semper Fi
Reply:I doubt you were ever even in the military let alone my Corps. A DI isn't allowed to strike a recruit (they will put their fingers up alongside your head - anyone who's ever been to boot camp knows this). Boot Camp is a mind freak...it's meant to be that way to prepare you for the stresses of battle. All the stories you share (outside of the "blanket party" %26amp; the 'punching' in the stomach) are perfectly acceptable and a very valuable means of training. Once again, if you'd ever been to boot camp you'd realize this.





Oh BTW, in your second to last line you refer it as basic training...a term that is used in the Army not the USMC...we call it boot camp...always have...always will...
Reply:I joined the Corps in 1968 and that type of stuff did go on back then. When my son joined a few years ago in was one of my big concerns. After talking to his recruiter (an ex DI ) and going down to my sons graduation and getting a tour of the training facilities it just does not happen anymore
Reply:you bleed in training, so you dont die in combat
Reply:Are you whining about boot camp's persuasive tactics from26 years ago? You should have been there 50 years ago, that's when they separated the boys from the men, and that was just in the first week. What is the point of your belated revelations? to show how barbaric DI's really are, or how big a hero you are for surviving?





The PFC thing has lost it's luster too. Today they issue the rank for any recruit who delivers a name of another perspective recruit who the Marine Corps is successful in signing up.





I take it your MOS wasn't in administration!
Reply:I'm retired military and I believe only what I see. Kids going into the military these days learn to stretch the truth so much theses days I would take anything like you've mentioned with a grain of salt and forget it. They write their Congressman these days if they are just told to take off their cap. Seeing is believing.
Reply:I went through Boot Camp at San Diego in 1940, and it was tough, and I was hit by my DI, and I suffered other misfortunes, and am very proud of it all. I liked my DI's and saw them after Boot Camp, and we shared funny stories about it all.
Reply:Dude, you know damn good and well what you signed up for. The Marines are the best fighting force on the planet. They didn't get that way by having tea parties with recruits in basic.
Reply:I'm not sure what your picture of the military was before you joined. What did you think trained killers were going to be like? Not exactly sensitive and caring.





Cruelty and sadism go with the culture. I could go on and on about enlisted soldiers and their stories of the twisted hazing visited on them by others and later by them to others. Afraid you're living in an S%26amp;M world. Just read some of these other posts. "Brutality, ha! We love brutality. That's nothing, they should have been more brutal."
Reply:There is a fine line between "tough enough to take it" and systematic bullying. In a war enviroment and an order is given, the soldier has to carry out that order.Training is to prepare that soldier to be a killing machine and part of a tough team but it does give some people the position to abuse and enjoy their power over others.Recently at Deepcut barracks in UK, four soldiers were found to be shot in the head. All were classified as suicides despite evidence to the contrary.
Reply:DIs are absolutely not allowed to touch a recruit because


they will be relieved of their duties ASAP!!!
Reply:My son leaves today for San Diego. Thanks for letting me have more to worry about. I come from a large military family %26amp; I can pretty much gaurentee you, sir, that what happens in training is not nearly as bad as what would happen if caught by the enemy. Have to learn to be tough under all circumstances. Marines are always the first in......thanks for the support
Reply:26 year old Sea-Stories are NOT an "EXPOSE`" .





Today's military (all branches) are FAR different in the behavior of the Drill Instructors/Company Commanders/Recruit Trainers... one can't strike a recruit, instructors can't curse, and recruits CAN ask for the "training time-out".





By-The-Way... the "training-time-out" is a direct result of the death of a student at the US Navy's Rescue Swimmer School in 1987. Two classes behind me.

Screw my sister for mothers day!! she dont deserve anything?

This Sunday is mother’s day my mom ask me what im getting my sister for a mother’s day gift. I told her not a dam thing. My sister and I don’t get along last year my friends and I was chilling we were just board we thru her babies pampers out of the window shooting hoops in the back yard dipping them in the pool. She got mad because of that. I caved in and replaced them I shouldn’t have to buy them but I did it anyway. Since then she moved out has her own place now. When she come over to visit she on my *** telling me why I don’t help my mom clean the house, Do my own laundry, she calls me a free loader a spoil brat, a Gerber baby, the best is she tells my mom calling me little boy is an understatement that im a baby. She always has to say something when she comes over. She just cant keep quiet and shut her hole. I admit when she says those things to me I get mad I get even she leaves stuff for the baby over my mom house. Car seat stroller, etc and Ill put shoe polish on them or put them outside when it rains. I ask her to buy me a game for ps2 a few weeks ago she tells me know ill buy you a fisher price toy instead. I shouldn’t have to buy her anything its not written in stone and I cant remember the last time she bought me anything I can use or need. I shouldn’t be obligated to buy her anything right?

Screw my sister for mothers day!! she dont deserve anything?
you DO sound like a little brat :/


if you were my borther i would smack you.


especially for putting HER stuff outside..


those things aren't free you know!!


%26amp; how do you expect her to buy you a ps2 when you don't do **** for her?





grow up.
Reply:How old are you like 10?? Grow up you are damaging the baby stuff and your mad at your sister diapers are not free i would have slapped you!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Last time I checked, Sunday wasn't Sisters Day;


MOTHERS DAY: you should only have to get something for your mom.
Reply:Are you for real??? How old are you???
Reply:I think maybe you should learn to get along and stop damaging her baby's stuff. No offence, but I'm not surprised that she didn't buy you a PS2 game if that's your attitude towards her. You shouldn't damage her baby's things because they're expensive and that's your niece or nephew you're talking about.





Maybe it would be a nice gesture if you were to buy her a present? A way to put your problems behind you and move on?
