Found this... Let the carpet dry completely if the stain is wet. Use a dull butter knife to remove any excess rust or white debris from the carpet. Work carefully; avoid pulling the carpet threads off the backing. Mix a solution of mild detergent, such as dish soap, with cool water. Avoid using antibacterial soap. Clear soap, without dye, is the best choice. Put two squirts of soap into a spray bottle, and fill it with cool water. Spray the stained area with the soap solution. Use a clean cloth to blot the area. Avoid rubbing because this will push the stain down into the fibers. Just blot until the stain lifts off the rug onto the cloth. Rinse out the cloth often. Let the carpet dry once you have removed as much of the stain as possible with the soap. Create a solution of 2 cups of lemon juice and 1 tsp. of salt in a spray bottle. Use this solution if the soap does not remove the stain. Let the carpet dry before spraying the lemon solution on the stain. Blot the stain again with a clean cloth. Let the carpet dry. Mix a paste consisting of cream of tartar and water. Use enough tartar to cover what remains of the stain. The consistency of the paste should be similar to toothpaste. Spread the paste over the stain, and let it sit for an hour. Blot off the paste with a clean cloth and cool water.

:slfg: When you type the address to get the picture from, that website doesn't actually have the picture. It then gets the picture from where it is held so you can see it. Your computer then holds that pic in its cache (on your hard drive) so that next time you go to have a look you are actually seeing it from the copy on your computer, not the website. To see it displayed here, it needs to be a direct link from the original pic on a site that allows you to do so (ie Photobucket, Flicker, Imageshack etc). At least I think that is what he's saying Otherwise... it doth breakest thine interwebs :roll:

One day I went into Photobucket and it said "here is the new layout, if you want to keep the old one then click here". So I did.

It is my understanding the male is thinner and darker than the female and they have been bred in aquaria but not very often. Kudos to you if you manage it

and Joe's got his computer back! :happy1: :bounce: Sorry it took so long :roll:

Just ignore him. He always drones on :gigl:

One of the neighbour's cats obviously approves of our new roof... aanndddd.... introducing......Denny Crane, who seems to have made himself at home... Unlike Pickles who, as soon as the door was open, shot out and disappeared over the fence! :roll:

Gorgeous day with lots at the Mistletoe Market. I bought these... and a closeup of one of the frogs...

:slfg:

Where have the nice warm days gone? It was sunny but wind was cold :tears: I am going to the Mistletoe Market tomorrow. It is run by the Lions every year at this time. Lots of arts and crafts etc. They close off the centre of town for stalls to be set up. Always interesting to see what is about and to get some good buys in time for Christmas. :bounce:

We had a friend relate how he was woken in the middle of the night because his face felt wet. When he turned on the light he discovered the cat had presented him with half a rabbit! The wetness was actually blood and guts :sick: My daughter has gone to pick up her cats to bring them here to live, temporarily, as she is here, temporarily. Might have more cat pics soon

Grant has been working up Black Birch and a couple of keas wandered by, interested in what he was up to... They were not interested in flying away so he couldn't get any shots of the lovely red undersides of their wings but they have lovely patterns on the top anyway.

Probably :gigl:

Canon in D Major

My Dr used to breed Birmans. Since stopping that they have bought 2 Maine Coon cats. They grow BIG and fluffy. Lovely cats

I love the way this thread has gone now for 4 pages but the original poster only visited here the one day and has never returned so not seen the ensuing discussion. :roll:

I love the theme song by Adele but listen to it, then play the theme to the Bond film Diamonds are Forever, sung by Shirley Bassey. Very similar!

I gather you did not quarantine the new fish then? That was an interesting article and if you are keen to try his method then we would like to know how you get on. Certainly sounds simple and saves buying meds.

You could also get white spot treatment. The temp raising only speeds up the cycle of the whitespot, it does not cure it. Do you know the cause? It pays to fix that too.

You are a few days behind... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=61469&p=663978&hilit=eels#p663978 and your sentiments are shared by many

I placed large barrels under the holes in the guttering Can't do that now as they just replaced all the gutters! Also can't take rain run-off from the roof after they have moss proofed it.

I thought Worf was a character on the Starship Enterprise

I wish! I didn't overhear the comments, I saw them written in a newsletter.

I seem to remember a lot of people in Palmerston North saying they got their water from a special tap (perhaps they have their own well?) at Wet Pets as the town supply was unsuitable for fish keeping. Can't remember what was in it though.

At what latitude do seals turn into walruses? If they're heading north, they're walruses. If they're going south, seals. :sml1: That was my favourite question and I love your answer :slfg:
