Time to get back to the bussiness of this forum. Here is a cleaning tip for removing spots from your cloths. Picked this up from a friend in the garment industry, they used it to take spots and soil marks off new cloths. They used a damp "Diaparene" baby wash cloth [fragrance free]. Just gently rub it on the spot and let it dry. LOL --- the title of this thread is "post Y2K dry cleaning tip" as if we'll have to worry about spots on our cloths or even getting dressed up and going out after 2000. LOL

Is it possible that your local dry cleaners could have a Y2K porblem?

Any tips on getting rid of a polly clinging to your pants begging for a handout?

Dog - I believe I read in the latest edition of "Pseudo-scientific American" that this phenomenon has been linked to the fiber "polly-ester," a cloth made of fibers that carry the presence of estrogen harvested from female pollys. It acts as a polly pheromone. The simple sollution is to switch to clothing made of all natural fibers.

Aono7 ---- the all natural fiber fabric is what Diaparene works on best

I was thinking of using a shotgun, but I was afraid this might be too harsh on the fabric. Any other ideas?

LOL! Keep beef jerky in your pockets: then wave the jerky in circles/up & down so the polly's heads follow, like when making your dog track a snack.........

Thanks for the big laugh. I needed that.

I had a man in my office today complaining that he is so sick of y2k. He says "I know people who are digging wells in their backyards, stockpiling food and all kinds of crazy things. There is no way that this country is going to let a little problem like this take it down. There are too many smart people out there to let this happen. I'm going to go to my place in the mountains for New Years..call me when it's all over."
