Took Katie out to the park today for the first time this year.

Anyone know how to get grass stains out of a pale yellow dress? ~~Liz knew how to do this stuff, but~~ Any ladies care to share their wealth of laundering knowledge?

	The same way you would get grass stains out of any other color, I'd imagine. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:22 am UTC (link)
	Well, I was sort of asking in general. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	silex 2011-05-30 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Wet the area with a sponge, and then dab it with rubbing alcohol. Then scrub in some detergent, rinse with water, and let dry. Should do the trick. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:27 am UTC (link)
	Will do, thanks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	silex 2011-05-30 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Mhmm. Just dilute the alcohol, and you should be fine. 3 parts water to 1 part alcohol. I had to learn this the hard way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:45 am UTC (link)
	Sucks having to learn the hard way, doesn't it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Understatement of the fucking year, mate. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Did she fall??? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 01:06 pm UTC (link)
	No, Katie just likes to roll around in the grass and dirt. She's quite a little tomboy. ~~But you wouldn't know that--~~ But it's my fault anyway for putting her in a dress and thinking it might stay nice for an hour. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ringmybell 2011-05-30 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Well that's good then. That she didn't fall. I bought her some summer toys and things. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, really? ~~You should come over~~ You should come over ~~for dinner~~ for dinner some time this week. Spend some time with her and show her her new toys. ~~I miss you~~ I think she misses seeing you all the time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ringmybell 2011-05-30 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah! Yeah that'd be great, I miss her too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	Good. Get to me on when's good for you. I'm free all the time now that the off-season is here. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	beavertails 2011-05-30 03:49 pm UTC (link)
	You could try molasses, too. Just rub a few drops of it into the stain and then wash it normally. It's worked for me so far! ~~Thanks to my mom and Scott.~~ (Reply to this)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	Huh, really? That seems like it would only make the stain worse... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	beavertails 2011-05-30 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	Something about the sugar eating whatever is in the stain, I guess. I have no idea how it works, I just do what my mum tells me to when it comes to that kind of thing. ~~I am going to faaaail as a parent. She's going to HATE me.~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	I guess that makes sense, then. I'll keep it in mind. I can use all the helpful tips I can get these days--going to be spending the whole off-season with my head in mummy books, I think. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	beavertails 2011-05-30 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	Believe me when I say I am completely in the same boat. If you find any good ones, pass them along to me and I'll return the favour? And if you ever need a small break, I have a brother that just loves to ~~do what I tell him~~ take care of kids! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:09 pm UTC (link)
	Sure thing! I'm sure yours and mine could have playdates sometime as well if you're up to it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	beavertails 2011-05-30 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	I think that's a great idea! I don't want Ava to end up as a social reject because I suck at planning things for her. We can trade parenting tips and secretly have mental breakdowns. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	Sounds like just what I need. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	beavertails 2011-05-30 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	When are you free next? We should figure out something soon, I think Ava needs to go run around for a while. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:27 pm UTC (link)
	All the time, name a date. This off-season is all about learning how to be a full-time dad, so my life is going to be All Katie, All The Time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	beavertails 2011-05-30 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	How about tomorrow afternoon, Jubilee Gardens? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Great, see you there around noon. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	ellsbells 2011-05-30 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	I can't even get grass stains out of my shirts. Sorry I'm so useless with stuff like this. I can try my hand at it if you want? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes. But it's alright, I got it. Although I'm sure she wouldn't mind seeing her aunt for the first time in ages. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ellsbells 2011-05-30 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	If you think she's even going to remember me, sure. I -- changed my hair. So don't freak out, okay? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:44 pm UTC (link)
	You did? What did you do, dye it blonde or something? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ellsbells 2011-05-30 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	No, it's just shorter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	How short, then? Short enough to freak Mum out? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ellsbells 2011-05-30 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	Uh, maybe. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh dear. So uh, what prompted the change? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ellsbells 2011-05-30 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	It is a long, long story. I'll -- fill you in when I come see Katie. And you, I guess. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-30 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, I guess I'll let you see me too... Missed you, El. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ellsbells 2011-05-30 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Missed you too. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	thomases 2011-05-31 02:20 am UTC (link)
	Why don't you just take her clothes to the cleaners? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-31 03:50 pm UTC (link)
	Because I can't help but feel like I should learn now? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thomases 2011-05-31 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	I'm trying to figure out why no one has suggested a cleaning spell just yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-31 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	No idea, but I'm shoddy at those too. I'd probably end up sending the garment up in flames and making her cry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	thomases 2011-05-31 05:40 pm UTC (link)
	You couldn't be that horrible at charms. I'm not saying you're any good, but it takes a lot to set things on fire. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	gimmeabell 2011-05-31 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	It still doesn't fix the fact that it wouldn't work, mate. (Reply to this)(Parent)
