Good evening glassy friends. I had spilled hot chocolate on my computer mouse and keyboard. The mouse became quite frisky and hard to control. I was off to buy new ones when I read reen's advice to try soda on my mink stole. The stole is at the mall but I bought a honking big box of baking soda. I'll get the stole home tomorrow and will get it ' in the bag'. Thanks reen. I'll check on that vinegar suggestion , too.
@dolores1953 fur may be out of favor but I have sold 3 other stoles since September. I have a waist length fur coat in my store. Don't know why it has not sold. I probably need to improve the listing.
We have had a steady drizzle of rain for most of the day. Spent most of the day right here at home. Two of the DDs came by for a visit. Though each of them lives less than a mile from us we had not seen either of them since Christmas. It was fun to catch up on the family activities of their families. The 16 year old DGS is ready for his driver's learning permit. He is being quite patient about getting it . DD said that it was a quite an educational field trip going to the various agencies to collect all the needed documents. She also remarked about how pleasant and cheerful the employees at the agencies were. They got everything together then he took the written test and failed that. They were told that 75% fail the test on the first try.
That same DGS is in his second year of taking special computer lessons. Their project for this semester is to build robots. He and the parents are really excited about this project.
@sellingthings Marty , we have driven a few miles in blizzard conditions. We once drove very hard all the way from Des Moine, Iowa to Chicago trying to stay just ahead of a blizzard. The blizzard caught us once when we stopped for gas but we soon got ahead of it again. Don't want to do that again--- ever.
And , BTW , I noticed today that gas was down to $3.32.9 at one station .
Got my new mouse installed. Gonna do the keyboard now.
