pickie98 says "removes set stains from fabric!" about All 3x concentrated laundry detergent

pickie98 — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:21:56 GMT

I had a favorite sweatshirt that I spilled dark chocolate on LAST YEAR! My daughter washed and dried it in the dryer without my knowledge, so set this large stain on the shirt. For the past year, I just kept on drying it in the dryer, thinking the set stain would never come out. One day, just on a lark, I moistened the stained area, poured some All small and mighty 3x concentrated laundry detergent on it, let it sit overnight and washed it the next day with the rest of the light laundry in warm water. I never expected it to work on this stain that had been washed and dried at least 30 times in the dryer!!!

It took the whole stain out without any marks on the fabric,, I was so impressed, I now use it only for stain removal!!! I never buy any stain removal products anyway, so this is a great double whammy product!!!

pickie98 says "best thing to remove skunk odor!!!" about Dawn Dish Soap

pickie98 — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 18:05:03 GMT

Dawn dish detergent is what I and the local Dog grooming Shop uses to remove skunk odor from dogs!!! I mix 1/2c baking soda, 1 quart hydrogen peroxide, apply it to the dog, leave it on 5 minutes, rinse off, pour Dawn detergent on liberally all over dog's coat,, massage in thoroughly, leave on for 5 minutes, rinse off thoroughly. If desired, follow with desired dog shampoo as directed on label. This really works!! My dog weighs 55 pounds, is a shepherd/hound mix with long hair,, no more skunk smell!!!...

pickie98 says "great machine, geat deal!" about Gevalia CM-500 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker

pickie98 — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:31:47 GMT

I have been using this machine for two years and it is great. I have the black and stainless, love the brew and fill, to fill my cup before the cycle is finished. It is great for hot water for tea.. If you own a Brita pitcher, it will fill this maker for 10 cups exactly, and has a water indicator!! ,,...

pickie98 says "won't eat any other, anywhere!!" about koegel koegel viennas

pickie98 — Thu, 29 May 2008 22:06:10 GMT

Koegel vienna franks are made only in MIchigan, which has the strictest food standars in the US. HTese are natural casing franks, but Koegel's also makes the same frank in askinless form. I wil not eat any thing else, will not eat any franks from other states,,...

pickie98 says "Finally a senior comedy!" about Golden Girls

pickie98 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:22:23 GMT

I have watched every single episode from the first one aired to the final one.. even though it aired in the early eighties, it still relates..

I love the chemistry between these fine acting veterans, you cannot beat the team of such great women! I was hoping when I saw Estelle Getty and Bea Arthur do walk-ons inthe show that started this one, with Dreyfuss the dog, that they woudl come up with something with them in it!

Lots of social issues, lots of risque comments, kids, animals, ex-husbands, death, single parenthood, all in a senior comedy! Not for little kids, but funny for teens to adults!!

pickie98 says "nice to watch clean comedy!" about The Dick Van Dyke Show

pickie98 — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:14:06 GMT

I rarely watch major network tv anymore due to stale, inappropriate content. this is the perfect way to be entertained and not repulsed or embarrassed in front others while watching tv. I have sen every episode countless times, could darned near act them out myself, but love to relive the geat comedic pairings of all these early stars,,, Seeing Carl Reiner is a plus as Rob's boss.. black and white is the greatest too!...

pickie98 says "best toothpaste ever!" about Mentadent Advanced Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste w/Baking Soda and Peroxide

pickie98 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 15:05:36 GMT

I bought products from this company the first week they were on the grocery shelf. They had great coupons, the product works great, and my teeth never felt cleaner!! They feel like I just came home from the dentist after getting a cleaning! I am still using my original pump! I have severe arthritis and it has not become an issue for me,, yet. I have used every flavor, every type they have made so far. I have gone back to tubed pastes and gels, but returned to this and really like it. It works even greater since I began using my crest spinbrush too!!The only downside for me is the non-recyclable packaging, but I guess since I am still using the same pump for all these years, it evens out with all the billions of tubes in the landfills.

pickie98 says "does the job" about St. Ives Apricot Scrub

pickie98 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 14:45:41 GMT

Bought it, used it, liked it.. I have extremely sensitive skin, cannot even wear Almay products, as even they irritate my skin, so this is great for me. I use products to make my body BE better, not to impress others. I agree with you all, it does the job and is affordable!...

pickie98 says "no complaints" about Alamo

pickie98 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 14:24:49 GMT

I recently (December 2007) rented a 2007 Alero in Orlando to drive around disney and Universal properties and the surrounding area. My travel arrangements were made by AAA, so all I had to do was walk up to the counter, give them my credit card, and walk across the street to the parking garage. They allow you to just walk up to any of their vehicles and select the one you want and drive away! What a pleasant surprise compared to the old days when I had to practically give a blood sample!!! When returning the vihicle, I just pulled back into the garage at the airport and walked away!!!

pickie98 says "just another candy" about Hershey - Cherry Cordial Kisses

pickie98 — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 14:10:04 GMT

I bought these last year to try them out. I was surprised how great the cherry flavor was along with the chocolate. Nice treat, but wish they had sugar-free for diabetics. I will no longer purchase them however, since the Hershey COmpany has chosen to "lay off" most of their workers,close American plants and sent their work to another country....

pickie98 says "gotta go back!" about Walt Disney World - Orlando, FL

pickie98 — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 18:03:10 GMT

I spent a week at WDW the first week of December, 2007 with one other adult. Not as many Christmas decorations as I thought there would be, but overall, it was nice. Had not been there since 1975, so my first time for each place but Magic Kingdom. If you are planning on spending your entire days in the parks, staying in the value resorts on-property is a smart choice. We saved enough $$$ doing that, to treat ourselves to nice sit-down dinners and more treats to bring home. I plan on going back soon, but taking a few days at a higher-end resort on-property to indulge ina spa and ambience. That particular week there were light crowds and sunny skies, everyone was nice,,,

pickie98 says "clogs drains and very expensive!" about Bath and Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Soap

pickie98 — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 17:20:16 GMT

SInce a person would have to wash their hands 30 seconds,18 times a day for 5 days to rid themselves of micro-organisms,(Good Housekeeping,March 2008,pg 41).. this product is merely a scented product that works no better than any bar of soap. Why, all of a sudden, do we need to be smelling our hands, and/or believing we need hyped-brands of cleaners? Money better spent something that is truly beneficial to me..

pickie98 says "modern-day version of grandma's cleaner!" about Mr Clean Magic Eraser, Extra Power

pickie98 — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 16:00:27 GMT

This product has one thing going for it: name brand and convenience. I have been cleaning the same surfaces my whole life with baking soda and a cloth, the same things my grandma and all relatives used too! The only difference between the two is price and carrying a little box of baking soda around thehome and outdoors, pouring it on the cloth.....

pickie98 says "works great!!" about Electrasol 3 in 1 Tablets

pickie98 — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:53:21 GMT

I purchased this product recently and loved the fact that the packaging fits well under my sink, that the little tabs removed really stuck-on food! So glad that I tried it! I would purchase it again, but still use store brands for lightly-soiled loads....

pickie98 says "too bad they are not washable,reusable" about Swiffer Duster®

pickie98 — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:47:46 GMT

Swiffer dusters seem to get surface dust off items,, I like them for my ceiling fans, entertainment center and audio/video equipment.. they make fast work of dusting, but I go through so many in a day that I wish they were reusable at leat a few times.......
