at least you dispatch them with a stylish new coif, jkath...

if you get pen ink on your skin or a smooth surface, rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball or alcohol swabs will remove it in seconds.

Carefully pour boiling water over the stain, allowing it to slowly drip through the fabric into the sink. Continue to do so until stain disappears.

I will have to say that they have saved the day for me and several other people in restaurants. Soy sauce comes right out of white pants and dries perfectly clean. Red wine comes out of shirts, etc. These things are GREAT to carry with you. If I don't use all of one I put it back in the foil packet and fold it up tight.

Shoes? I'm supposed to get dressed up to stomp on a spider?

Now this would be a great forum and so very helpful. Other then Avon, where can I get skin so soft? I don't know any avon sales reps.

[jkath]

2 ideas for you Thumpershere:
1. go to the avon site online and order there.
2. Call the 800 # and tell them you'd like a brouchure. A rep will take one to your door.

(I like the smell of the skin so soft, 'cause it reminds me of my mom's house)

[callie]

Thumpershere: I'm an Avon rep. If you have trouble getting Skin So Soft, pm me and I'll get some to you.
