BUT! All you Canadians, tell me this...how the hell did that blue heeler get all the way over there and into that clip?!
 
OK l need some help!!!!

I soaked my son's white shirt in bleach and it turned yellow..:eek:

I read that soaking it in vinegar might get it out but it did nothing.

Does anyone know how l can make it white again before he kills me!!!!

Uh Oh!!!! Have been caught in the bleaching trap too! I think the only thing to do is dye it a darker colour? Sorry :ybatty:
 
:eek2:

I don't really know upsetmom but this seems a pretty good site with info and discussion:

Good luck!

Niks he won't be happy if l dyed it a different colour.

Thanks Dusty l read all these sites last night.

I think l might have to buy him a new shirt...$70 gone..:yfaint:

I don't even know why l bleached it wasn't even dirty.
 
I think you need to go to BA (Bleachers Anonymous). :(

Hi, I'm upsetmom and I have a bleaching problem...

Dusty. :ack:
 
Son: What did you do my shirt?

Mother: Son, I am sorry I can be no longer trusted to do your washing. You are quite welcome to do your own washing, so these errors no longer occur.

I was just thinking the same thing.:lol:

I haven't told him yet .I'm still trying to figure out a way to make it white...l went shopping but l forgot to have a look for something.
 
I once ruined a pair of his joggers by soaking them in bleach. They where white with a black stripe ....after i soaked them the stripe went brown. You'd think l would've learnt my lesson.
 
Is the shirt an even colour all over? What fabric?

Try Spotlight or Lincraft, look for the dyes, next to them you will find color remover but they only usually work for removing color so that you can re dye.

Sarah wonders why I won't let her use dye inside my house! She managing to spill the water while emptying out the dye and dyed one shoe purple. Got love dye and candle wax.

What did you do to his shirt?? I tried this technique with my wife...I screwed up the laundry, the dishes, the vacuuming, the dusting, the mopping, etc., etc.....it didn't work!!
 
On the topic of laundry...

When washing out poo from clothing, do you do anything special besides hot water and soap? Do we need to worry about spreading germs or things?

Just curious.
 
I do the sanitize cycle on my washer. It just heats the water up more. Or cycle for whites if your washer doesn't have sanitize cycle. I do the same thing when there are viruses in the house.

But, I have a serious germ issue.:ack:

I've have only come across this problem with my husband a few times.
The first time it happened l decided to rinse the clothes first before putting them in the washing machine...and it was the last time l did this....it made me sick..:puke_r: Now i just throw them in the machine on a hot cycle with disinfectant....and if they're very bad l just throw them out ....luckily it doesn't happen often.
 
Upsetmom, I'm so sorry about your husband's illness. I didn't know. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

On the topic of laundry, I have used a product called "Iron Out". It works well on whites for getting out, well... iron, like if you have hard well water, or bloodstains (yikes!), or a host of other things. Just don't use it on colours, it will bleach them.

DustyKat, thanks for the "Great Big Sea" video. Great bunch of guys from Newfoundland. I think the Newfies do trades with you guys. You send the cattle dogs, they send the Labrador retrievers.

So, has your son seen it yet? Can you pretend that it always was cream? Maybe he won't notice...

My daughter was the one who told him otherwise he wouldn't have known.

You should have seen the look on his face when she told him it had turned yellow.
 
Hello friends,
Just wanted to share something only you would understand. We were celebrating a step forward with my hubbies scan results with a bottle of bubbles and Col said here is to health, happiness and family, then Nick pipes up and lots of poop ! I looked at him as if to say way to spoil the moment with eleven year old humour, but he said no mum here is to lots of good, normal pooh !
I drank a toast to lots of pooh !

A highly dangerous virus called "Weekly Overload Recreational Killer" (WORK) is currently going around. If you come into contact with this WORK virus, you should immediately go to the nearest "Biological Anxiety Relief (BAR) centre to take antidotes known as 'Work Isolating Neutraliser Extract (WINE), "Radioactive UnWORK Medicine" (RUM), "Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter' (BEER) or "Vaccine Official Depression Killing Antigen" (VODKA).

Thought these were funny... :D But, the first one I thought really applied to all us parents! picture.jpg

And this one... well, I'm thinking poor Dexky!

Nothing wrong with kids (toddlers) on leashes.

I have heard stories of kids being harnessed to the clothesline in the yard so they would not wander off.
 
If you don't have a fence, and you can't stay with them every minute, that might have to be the solution temporarily... especially if there is dangerous water around...
 
As many may know we lost our GI to politics this year. Well we had our Federal election yesterday and our old doc won the seat he was contesting. I don't think it would out of place to say that he will no longer be looking at arseholes but working with them instead. :ybiggrin:

Dusty. :eek2:
 
Hey upsetmom,

No, it is just a random pic from the net. :)

We do have a flat faced cat that would sit and pose like that though! :lol:

Gosh yes!!! I can't imagine the stress level of responsibility! :eek: I hope they are well paid!

It must have been absolutely crazy on 9/11 when they stopped all flights and all those unscheduled landings suddenly had to be coordinated!! :yfaint:
 
Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Does anyone have experience with a ruptured eardrum? My non-IBD kiddo has an ear infection and woke up with blood in his ear. Waiting for the ped to call back. We always seem to be waiting on drs.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I've already read most of the Internet.

Sorry to hear about this... Is he in a lot of pain? It is surprisingly not difficult to perforate your ear drum (easier than most would think anyways...)

Typically it is not uber serious and will be treated much like a severe ear infection (maybe some amped up antibiotics). Multiple perforations can be problematic and lead to hearing loss.

I hope he feels better soon.
 
My friend's child had a ruptured eardrum due to an ear infection. Once it ruptured, the pain subsided. He was put on antibiotics like you would be with a typical ear infection.
 
Thanks, guys. Antibiotics, heat compresses, Tylenol for pain if needed, and time *lol*. Great, more waiting!

Always something, right? We could use a whole lot of boring nothingness around here for awhile. That would be soooo nice!
