I think I know what happened there.
When its late.. in sunday.. and you're tired.. you only read a few words, but not read from where they come from. XD

I'll take that, thanks for bailing me out.

I do too. I love the whole look of the areas prior to the WS during F&G when they have the flowers done around the water and the floating flowers on the water. It's so pretty and nice. I wish they would do that year round.

I second that.

I separate my loads into dark, jeans and work clothes. My only whites are t-shirts so I just throw them in with my jeans/shorts. These were work clothes. I never use warm water for any wash.

Bu I found a solution. Soap.

I rubbed soap (hand or liquid....I used both) into the stains. Let them sit for a while. Washed them. Air Dried them. Only one or two stains left and they are really not that noticeable but might repeat anyway., just in case. Now I might see how soap does on normal clothes.




My haircut on Saturday was $12.

My hair cut last week, was zero. I cut my own.

Lunch.

Nom nom nom

Though I had to eat around the croutons.

Gosh that looks yummy.

I'm off for the day. We don't have the air-conditioner on, as we are trying to get used to the hot temps. coming up. I think my brain is fried. Time to stick my head in the freezer!

Without knowing exactly what the stain is, it's a little difficult to remove. I don't think the stains were caused by too much detergent. Certainly, you can try Shout (as Goofyernmost suggested). I'm half wondering if these are some sort of water stains (there could be some odd chemicals in the water), or I wonder if there's something in your dryer that's causing the discoloration. As a suggestion, why not take one of the garments to a dry cleaner to see if they might have an idea of what kind of stain it is. They have all kinds of solvents they can use to remove various stains.

Oh, one final thought: did you separate out dark colors from whites, etc.? Were you using hot or cold water in the washing machine? (Colors tend to not run in colder water, but they will in hot water.)

Another thought, that I think is happening here is if you are eating and have a tiny drop of oil or grease drop on your clothes it is not always visible before you wash it. Once it hits the water it dilutes and spreads out to be a bigger spot that detergent alone cannot handle. Thus when done, there is a spot that you didn't think was there before. (a lot hinges on the pattern of fabric as well). So, anyway, you pre-treat it with Shout and low and behold, spot be gone.

Remember this is only theory, but, it is one of those things that I try not to obsess about. If it's there after I wash it, but, wasn't noticed before. I just put it back in the hamper and take care of it the next load.

@donaldtoo , I was at Target this morning and saw American Sniper on DVD, so I bought it. Watched it a few hours ago; it was intense. I was on the edge of my seat watching that. Never knew the history of that man; what a story, and what an ending . . .

Intense, indeed.
Glad you liked it, too.
Such a tragic ending to his life.

Please tell me that's blood from the steak on your plate, and not "steak sauce" that you ruined that perfectly good cut of beef with...?!?!?!

Supposedly (although I've never tried it) I've heard that mayonnaise (not reduced fat or any kind of hybrid), added to your hair once a month at night (wrap a small dish towel around it), and washed/rinsed out in the morning, is a good, deep conditioner.

I've heard about using mayonnaise too, I don't know if I could do that though.

I've wanted to see this movie since it was in theaters, but hubby didn't want to go to it. I know I could've went on my own, but never got around to it. I'm planning to rent it to watch on the plane ride to Europe in a couple weeks. I'm glad you found it worth watching.

We are conducting a picture test to see how to do it. In case anyone wants to know, this is a strawberry dessert from Beach's and Cream.

Stay safe.

Fortunately, we're finally dryin' out a bit this weekend. There was a little activity down around Corpus Christi earlier, and still some between Laredo and McAllen down around the border, with some showers also out in the gulf.
Partly cloudy and 88 right now.

Kudos to Anheuser-Busch once again. A-B again suspended beer production to run batches of canned drinking water to send to Texas and Oklahoma. A-B has done this multiple times during state of emergencies and great to see the corporation has stepped up for these states too.

I bet you beer can collectors would love to get their hands on one of these.

they rotate the menu or how does it work?

Every night is a different cuisine--southern bbq (Mon, Wed, Sun), mediterranean (Tues, Thurs), and seafood (Fri, Sat) or you can order ala carte which isn't a frugal way to go IMO.

Well of course it is A-1 Blood on my plate.

Gosh that looks yummy.

Yes it was. I was so freak'n hungry. I only had a piece of toast and I was up at 6am. I think we were eating at
like 3 in the afternoon. I ate it and ate it all, well minus the croutons anyhow.

I even ate the honey-wheat bread which is yummy but usually forgo to leave room for better stuff. My DD ate everything too but didn't order a salad.
She wasn't wasting valuable tummy space or rabbit food.
