Really appreciate y'all's comments. I'm not composting these but strewing them on soil. Well. I am composting some, mixing with chopped leaves, grass clippings and urine but primarily spreading on my gardens, flower and vegetable and shrubbery. totallyconfused, you're doing it right for a compost pile. I'm dealing with a lot of grounds, getting at least nine trash bags a week. Each bag contains 25 - 30 filters and grounds. That's why I'm hoping for a 'PLAN' to handle effectively. Meanwhile happily shrewing them around on my organic material limited soil. Also trying to evaluate what is doing better growth-wise. Have been doing this since late November 2010. No plans to ever stop. Haven't had enough yet to start top dressing my lawn. Rosie

My youngest son did some "art" on one of my end tables that was solid wood. I used WD40. If it didn't hurt the wood, I don't know why it would harm a fridge. Or, look in the automotive department at Wal Mart and get GUNK for engines. That will remove most anything.

I wish I would have checked back in before I last went to town. The only item I had on hand was the stain stick , so I used it (all of it! LOL). I rubbed it in the best I could and washed the garment again. The stain is much lighter, but it's still there. Maybe it will come out with another try; one of your other suggestions, or a few more washes. This is just amazing to me because the pencil is MADE for fabric, and the label doesn't warn that it might be hard to get out. Besides, when I was a kid we used to write on our jeans with pencil, and I'm pretty sure it came out in the wash. I'm just flabbergasted. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I'm confident it will come out with one or two more treatments.

We did a facelift in our kitchen, saving us thousands of dollard, due to Magic Erasers! I love my kitchen cupboards but they were looking every bit of their 24 years old. We had to do something so I figured there was nothing to lose. I scrubbed them down with Magic Erasers, rinsed them with whited vinegar water and then used paste wax on them. Even my cleaning lady thought we had bought new cupboards.
