Scrub you fingernails too!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Vanilla extract, Nonian. A drop or two on your wet, clean hands, and rub it all over like lotion. Then rinse and wipe dry, and that should do it.

By the time she's done, she's going to have the cleanest non-gas smelliest hands ever.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

That's horrible, Hec. How incredibly awful and surreal.

And now I realize that my comment can apply to both the accidents story and the Tivo story.

In less intense news: SOMEONE PLEASE STAGE A CAT STACKING INTERVENTION FOR ME. PLEASE.

Trust my rage

Baking soda, rubbing alcohol, body scrub (coconut scent), regular soap, topped off with Aveda hand lotion. My hands finally feel clean and feel great! Which is nice because the gas smell was really starting tobother me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

OH DEAR! Please don't let me forget to put my rent check in the mail!

I totally forgot about the short month thing!

So if it goes out tomorrow, it should be there on Monday, right? I think there's a two day grace period.

Er, Allyson? It's January. It isn't a new month till Tuesday.

You made me go look, woman (bad enough I'm pretty sure I wrote a couple checks with 1/x/04 this month.)

Hi! and, um, what did Cheney do this time?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Are there any easy ways to get gasoline smell off your hands?

Okay, too late for Nonian, but the best thing for gasoline is soap or detergent, or something else that specifically works on oil or grease, like mechanic's hand cleaner.

Water, lemon juice, or baking soda aren't as effective because gasoline doesn't dissolve in them much at all, nor is it affected by the acid in lemon juice or the base in baking soda.
