Re: Things I\'ve learned the hard way . . .
A little off topic but more to come that is...
1). Pink clothes that didn't start out pink MIGHT be salvageable. Rit makes a product that removes colors -- use it only, repeat, only as directed. Probably find it in the laundry product section of your grocery market. Rit makes dyes, so they should know. BTW, do not, repeat, do not wash the product before you try the color/tint remover. Sorry I cannot remember the exact name of the stuff.
2). A few years ago while working in the frozen foods section of my store, one of the guys who works there pointed out a 6-pack of cans of soda that had been left in one of the frozen food cases. The cases are called coffin cases since they are about 3 feet wide and 6 feet long, and they have no top (how does it work? Frigid air is circulated over the top). Anywho... I looked at the 6-pack, stepped back, and counted backwards from ten, out loud. When I hit zero... POP! (pardon the pun). It sprayed chunks of frozen soda over a 15 foot radius. Did I mention that I have this psychic thing that works once in a while? My wife says psycho, but she's only right about half the time. OK. Two-thirds, but that's my final offer.
Meanwhile, back on topic...
Even in the middle of the night, during a high speed car rally, in the middle of a very isolated section of a forrest, even if it is hidden, if you leave something lying around someone will steal it. More details to come in another thread (I did not have the happiest weekend).
