Matt try Dawn power wash spray and the magic eraser. Heat the dryer for 10 minutes, spray the Dawn on the ink and then rub with the magic eraser. That should take the ink off. The only other thing would be vinegar, but that is going to require some scrubbing muscles. Just think it could be worse like poop. I would rather clean ink than poop.

Good Evening! With training the day went fast and I didn't get a chance to post until now since I have an appt on Wednesday's during the lunch hour but no complaints, things are good!

Good afternoon all and Happy Wednesday,

Today's definitely better than yesterday.

I have a few minute break from a chockful day of activity.

Last night, I did most my laundry. I'm load number 2, I forgot my pocket notebook in my jeans' pocket #2. I couldn't believe I ruined a months full of notes, ideas, knowledge, etc. I threw myself some grace and recognized it was simply just a mistake. I shouldn't beat myself up over it.

Then the last load, it was catastrophe. After the notebook incident, I checked every pocket. I must have missed one and didn't notice until a pen exploded in the dryer. I went to sleep and am dealing with it today. I'm all up for suggestions if anyone has a good way to clean this up. I'm going to start with magic eraser.

QOTD- I could be considered a hoarder but I turned it into an income stream. I always have too much stuff in too little space. Aside from my inventory, I'm pretty good with everything but clothes. I have a hard time keeping a appropriately sized amount of clothes. When I was in the morbidly obese category, the selection of decent looking clothes was often not a good look for me. When I scrank below the 3XL range, there was über selection. I couldn't get enough of wearing clothes that fit me personality wise. So I overbought clothes so I could wear it all.

Steps 6,550

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut yogurt, a handful of blueberries.

L: pp shake in the remainder of my morning coffee.

D: Steak. Some frozen veggie.

I'm a single mom of 4, and I weigh over 400 pounds. I've spent years taking care of everyone but myself. I've smiled through the pain, pushed through exhaustion, and put my needs last. But now... it's time for something different. It's time to put me first.

I'm starting to explore weight loss surgery--not just to lose weight, but to find myself again. I want to run with my kids, dance without pain, and look in the mirror and feel proud. This isn't about vanity--it's about life.

It's scary. It's overwhelming. But it's also the beginning of something powerful. I deserve to feel alive again. This is my time.

I have known a few hoarders. They tell you they paid good money for stuff and can't get rid of it. My brother's wife was a hoarder and he made her keep her hoard in their basement. After she passed away it took him more than a year to clean it out.

My mother went to garage sales and bought things she did not need. At one point she had a bedroom that was too cluttered to open the door. It was seasonal decorations. Christmas, Halloween, Spring, Fall, Winter, flowers, and all kinds of things. We finally put it all in the tra****ry to use the get rid of one thing when I buy something new. Clutter makes me so nervous. I don't want to leave a mess for others to deal with.
