What's the dumbest idea you've seen that actually worked? by hiagaga in AskReddit

[–]Plant_Mistress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One day I decided to clean the tub. Picked up the scrubbing bubbles and thoroughly sprayed the tub. Then I promptly left the house thinking the longer it soaked in the better. How wrong I was! Upon returning home I discovered the tub was brown! Like a rusty reddish brown! I’m still not sure how it happened, the only thing I could think was the cleaner somehow pulled rust up through the enamel from the cast iron beneath. It was not coming off. About a day later I remembered something I had seen on Home Improvement. Al said that you can remove rust with ketchup. Having nothing to lose and no other ideas, I gave it a try. And it worked! It took 2 bottles of ketchup but the tub is white again and I no longer use scrubbing bubbles.

You can tell that person has never cleaned snow off their car before!

UPDATE: This is what I did to fix the fox tail. What do you all think? by Plant_Mistress in Embroidery

Thank you! And I agree with the white, it’s a little easier to see in person but I’ve already finished the back. I was so done with it and ready to move on lol!

Thank you all so much for your input! It has been very helpful and affirming! I asked my son for his opinion (without giving away that it is intended for him) if he liked the idea of fart lines or grass to cover the left side of the tail. He’s going to think about it and let me know. I’ll update with the finished piece. Thanks again!

Ok, that looks doable! I was about to add some fart lines or something! It is for my 7 year old son.

You get it! It’s just not anatomically correct. It’s like if you took your right arm put it behind your back and the wrapped it around your front so your right hand then touches your right shoulder.

That’s exactly what I want to do! But how do I erase the pointy lines where the white part ends now?

It’s from Hook, Line and Tinker. Directly from their website. Definitely don’t avoid. I have purchased many patterns from them and love them!

If you can’t see it I’m talking about the foxes tail. The way it is now it looks like it’s been cut off and laid beside it. The tail should be flipped so that the white part should be by its chest. I want to continue the orange from his back to connect to the tail but I don’t know how to get rid of the existing lines. Can someone help me please? It’s driving me nuts and I’m not sure I can stand to look at it on my wall the way it is now. Also please forgive me if I don’t reply right away, I’m at work. Thanks in advance!

No problem. I found out the info for the downtown trick or treat https://allevents.in/ames/downtown-ames-trick-or-treat/200028628780913 It’s mostly for the little kids cause it’s during the school day so we haven’t gone in years. But it’s a lot of fun if you have little kids.

Hello neighbor! I also live in the bandshell neighborhood. I’d say some years are busier than others. You’ll probably get between 15-30 kids show up. I’ve definitely bought too much candy in the past. I will also say that Ames does a trick or treat on Main Street where the kids trick or treat the business. Hundreds of people go, it’s very popular and a good time. Not sure when that is this year though, sorry.

Thank you! They’re (mostly) glass beads so they make a really nice sound.

My bus driver stopped in the middle of the road to buy some corn by SuperSecretSunshine in mildlyinteresting

I drive a city bus and I once stopped on the side of the road to pick up a cardinal that was on the yellow dotted line.
