But since I had been bugging Brad for 3 years that it was time to cover up the builders-primer paint with REAL paint, it actually worked out rather well!
BTDT....AND...I also had Sharpie to clean off from my lips, my knees, my glasses, and my forehead. My girl did that to me one time while I fell asleep and she had other things on her mind! LOL
Where's the kid in a time out? This is hardly a how to post. :( Get your video camera out and start your demo of braid. We will have to coordinate a simul-post next week.
Seriously? You can use that on a TV screen??? Wow. I have so many images running through my head right now of me removing sharpie marks from remotes, TV's, walls, dressers, (carpets?), outside the fish tank, coffee table. I'm on over load.
You're just a wealth of information. I recently found a tin of crayons that was mine when I was a little girl (don't ask) and stupidly gave them to C and L.
Did you know crayons from 1984 aren't washable? I didn't...
Genius! I'm always looking for more ways to make "momming" easier. Right now I'm on the hunt for something to get the puke smell out of a stuffed animal. The journey never ends!

Yet another use for the almighty Q-tip.
1. Brain stabber
2. Car Stereo ketchup remover.
3. Peephole cleaner.
4. Magic marker remover.
And that would be why we no longer HAVE sharpies in the house, LOL.

I think you should compile a massive list of things that you know in this regard, because you must have a HUGE one.

Nail polish remover. Best stuff ever.
You know I am coming to you if I ever find a stain I can't get rid of, right?

Will you come live with me, like REAL soon?
I have that TV, that sharpie, that movie, that nail polish remover.
I did the same.
But what I wanted to do was rectally insert the sharpie followed by the bottle of nail polish remover. I could have lived with the smudge.
