Silly Putty Home Remedy

Rubbing alcohol wins. It took the silly putty out of Aaron's new jeans. Just in case anyone ever needs to know.

The Trouble with Santa

The trouble with Santa is that the only one you can blame is yourself. "Santa" thought it would be a good idea to give my 4 year old Silly Putty in his stocking this year. Aaron thought it was great fun "decorating his toys with it, which is fine, Silly putty cleans off of plastic fine. It's the silly putty that is ground into his jeans that's the problem. Brand new jeans...aaagggghhhhh. I've Googled how to get it out and I've seen GooGone and rubbing alcohol. Has anyone tried these remedies and if you have which one works? Boy, I sure would love to have a talk with Santa, but I'm sure they'd lock me up for that conversation!

Home Remedies

Well, i thought i'd pass this along...i found a pretty cool website www.home-remedy.org when i was researching home remedies for killing fleas. It's got some pretty cool stuff on it. But as for the fleas, this is most interesting. Garlic. it said that cats can have up to 1/8 of a tsp a day for not more than 2 weeks and dogs over 50 lbs. can have up to 2 tsp. a day. So far Zoey has had two days of 1 tsp a day on her food, and the fleas are not really dead, but very lathargic and slow which is making them easier to catch and kill. Maybe after a few more doses the fleas will just drop off dead. Wouldn't that be nice. As for Pete, I'm trying to figure out a way to get him to eat garlic. He;s very picky about his food, and the garlic-flavored milk didn't go over too well. i thought about making little hamburger meat balls with the garlic but i'm not sure that much raw meat would be good for him. although, his ancestors only eat raw meat...right?
