Pink, that is what I was talking about was soaked in fabric softener but not in vinegar. I have read about people using vinegar in place of liquid softener and about mixing liquid and vinegar together to cut down on build up in dispenser. I use Downy free mixed with water. If people want to use vinegar that's fine with me. Just what ever works for them. Personally I wouldn't mind if they still made Sta Puff but like original Oxydol as you know it's gone too.

Here's my 2 cents. This all reminds me of the Robert Frost poem, 'The Road Not Taken.' I believe that Prince William and Prince Harry are not presently, and will never be estranged. They are simply on two different paths now. But the future that Prince William was born into, could never be what Prince Harry might choose for his future, through no choice of their own. As young children, it was not evident to them that their destinies would be vastly different. But as time passed, they came to where two roads diverged, and Prince William had to enter the straight, one way road, with no exits off to a different destination, than eventually leading to the throne of England. In contrast, Prince Harry's road offers many exits, onto new branching roads, that lead to a great variety of possibilities and destinations. I believe these brothers still share the bond that began as young boys, which grew even stronger, with the tragic loss of their beloved mother. I feel that neither will ever jeopardize their personal relationship, knowing their close bond would be their mother's proudest accomplishment, and likewise, an estrangement would be her greatest heartbreak. Prince Harry just can't take the same road as Prince William, so he's branching off in a direction he feels is best, to devote himself to both his Royal Family and his personal family, and to many less fortunate. Prince Harry's less regal road will have a much broader reach, by giving him the freedom to access other avenues of philanthropic ventures, that might never be attained within the specific agendas, customary only to senior members of the Royal Family. I believe Diana would be proud that her younger son is willing to downgrade his royal 'status' to offer his children the benefit of a less entitled life, while still serving the Monarchy, but in a non regimented capacity. Why is it assumed that Meghan Markle put all this in Prince Harry's head, rather than the possibility that he finally found a partner who shares his ideals, and is willing to forego the lifestyle that most women would expect, when marrying into a Royal Family?
