I`ve been to ';Poets of Mars .Com. I`ve been following you
all for months. I am a new poet. I would like you to give me some advice.
When it comes to my own work I feel that poetry is not enough to get me noticed... I used to do it for therapeutic release alone but now I see how it can help inspire... I have already been through this but for others, always let them know that their work is of value and remember, they will not always know the logistics. That is most often why they stay concealed... only with much digging will they be found.... But hey. you found me didn't you?
First of all if they are saved it's really simple If the Lord has bless them with that talent then that's whom they should be getting there lead from. Following the leading of the Father will put him or her just where they should be. Being blessed and profitable.

Any advice on how to get paint out of jeans, without having to wash them 50 times?
I got some green paint on my jeans the other day, accidently swiped them with the paint brush. I tried the tide-to-go pen, but that didn't work very well. I've used shout spot remover on similar stains, but you still have to wash them like a bunch of times before it will come out. any suggestions?Any advice on how to get paint out of jeans, without having to wash them 50 times?
Paint thiner, mineral spirits, brush on wait 10-20 minutes try again wash. scrub with tooth brush or heaver brush. works all the time I;m a painter.Any advice on how to get paint out of jeans, without having to wash them 50 times?
Stain removers really don't work on paint. You need to get actual paint thinner. Either that, or if it's just a little bit of paint, you may be able to flake it off.
There's something called Goof's Off that's good to get paint out.
first rub the affected area with ice cubes, may be quite a few of it, then take a thick knife and scratch vigorosly, till the paint comes out.
if it doesnt u can rub alchohol or spirit or even ur nail polish remover for somtime and allow it to dry, then scartch it off
hope this works!!
oderwise, u can keep it to stay or brush afew more strokes randomly with colors, crash ur jeans to get the hip look in no time and wthout extra bucks!!!
MAYBE YOU COULD DYE THEM, OR TAKE THEM TO THE CLEANERS.
try paint thinner......or this stuff called Goof off.....but for the most part , paint is tough to get out......and next time don't try to look all cute when you are painting....you need to wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on

Any advice on how I can make my pen cap stay on?
I have a fountain pen with a screw-on pen cap. After about a year of usage, the cap lost its grip. No matter how much I twist the pen, it wont stay. Now I absolutely love this pen, but when I use it without the cap, the ink runs out very quickly. So any advice on how I can maybe fix the problem...without buying a new pen?Any advice on how I can make my pen cap stay on?
Blue-Tack of course!!! I use it all the time on my work pens! ( :
Try it and see! It works. I used to lose so many pen-lids, that all my pens were starting to dry up as a result! o:
My Poppa's tip actually... a ';handyman sort of bloke';, he is always coming up with something simple and ingenious like that!
Hope I helped you out with the ';Runaway Lid Dilemma'; anyway -
Good Luck!( :
Gracie Xx XxAny advice on how I can make my pen cap stay on?
You can try some rubber cement, it won't glue the cap on but it will make it harder to pull off. I don't know how long it will hold up though.
teflon tape it

What advice is out there for the efficient and effective use of my two wall unit air conditioners?
My wife and I are trying to figure this out, we never had wall units just central air. We plan on getting central air by next summer.What advice is out there for the efficient and effective use of my two wall unit air conditioners?
I use small 12'; oscillating fans which bring the A/C temp down about 2 degrees. they are good at mixing the cold air around the room SHAWWhat advice is out there for the efficient and effective use of my two wall unit air conditioners?
Fans are a good idea. Or if you have the option to run the furnace fan without heat that will circulate the air.
Basically other than keeping the filter clean and annually cleaning the coils there is little you can do to make the units themselves more efficient.
There are the things you can do to keep heat out of the house but that is true with all cooling (sun shades, drapes, drafts, insulation, attic fan,...). But that is a separate issue.
They likely are fairly less powerful than a central air. And one thing that will affect the efficiency is the ambient (outside) temperature. The cooler it is outside the more efficient the heat exchange.
So in that respect my best advice would be to start it early and not wait until the house becomes too hot before turning it on. Partly because they are smaller and partly because running it full out to cool a hot house in the hottest part of the day is less efficient and will be less effective.
But experience will be it's own teacher in that regard.
Just don't be surprised if it takes hours to cool down a hot house if you had if off all day while at work.
And something else. Reduce the moisture in the house. Run fans when boiling water or taking a shower. Reduce the number of plants. A/C units condense water and condensing water releases heat lowering efficiency until the humidity in the house drops.
And reducing humidity is another reason for running it some earlier to speed cooling when you need it most.
Good Luck
It's a good temporary solution as you can always sell them later.
Use them in the rooms with the largest volumes.
Try not to oversize for a room.
I have seen people install these in a hallway to try to cool adjacent rooms. This will not work well as small areas cool down fast and will cycle the compressor.
You could figure 500 square feet per 12,000 BTU on average.It depends on the normal high temperatures where you live.
If you have an unusual amount of widows facing south you may need more.
Use window shading in all the areas that get direct sunlight.
Try to keep any moisture producing activities to a minimum.
Use bath fans when showering and make sure dryer is vented properly.

Need advice on gluing magazine clippings to make collage?
I have a bunch of pictures cut out of magazines that I want to put on a poster board or in a picture frame or wherever. I don't want to do decoupage because it produces that glossy, rippled effect. I'd like the result to be bright and sharp (like an original magazine print). Any suggestions are appreciated!Need advice on gluing magazine clippings to make collage?
I prefer glue sticks. They're not bad for the environment like an areosol and they're cheap.
Cover the entire back of the clipping and place it down onto the collage. Easy!Need advice on gluing magazine clippings to make collage?
I'm not sure exactly what you could use. It isn't decoupage that produces the ripples, it's doing it poorly and allowing the moisture in the adhesive to warp the paper. Believe it or not, wetting the paper first is supposed to help this. Modge Podge makes a product specifically for paper but I don't know if the finish is glossy or matte. Actually (smacking myself in the forehead) you should just use a dry adhesive like a glue stick or glue dots. (Or Xyron if you know anybody who has one.) If you just apply the adhesive to the back, your front will stay as it was.Go to a scrapbooking or large craft store (like A.C. Moore, Michael's or JoAnn's) and ask them to show you the adhesive section of their scrapbooking stuff, and don't be shy about asking the customers in the aisle for help.
Try spray glue. It comes in a aerosol can like hair spray. You spray it evenly over your surface then gentle smooth our your pictures or clippings. Rubber cement will also work but does not always lay as smooth. You can also you a flat finish modpodge with a foam paint brush to avoid the glossy look you spoke of.

What advice would you give to make moving easier for a young baby?
We're moving into our new flat this weekend, and I'm a bit concerned that little one might get a bit confused, find it difficult to settle at night etc.
We're going to make sure that we make his room sorted before any others, and keep all of his stuff in vaguely the same place etc, but does anyone have any advice on what we can do to make it a smooth, easy move for him?
He's 10 months old.What advice would you give to make moving easier for a young baby?
Don't worry so much, he will be fine.
Look at making the move as easy for yourself stressed parents make stressed babies.
You are right to put his room straight first and familiar things etc. Cook something for his tea that he really likes and I know you will want to get things straight but try and focus on him as much as possible - in the normal sense - don't make an issue. I would avoid bath time on your first night.
Don't make major changes to anything else in his life. ie don't start five new toddler groups or leave him with strangers all in the same week!! (not that you'll have the energy)
Remember that this is going to be your home so relax and he will to - don't do a grand tour and expect him to take it all in at once. When he starts walking he will be into everything!
Good luck with the moveWhat advice would you give to make moving easier for a young baby?
My twins were about a year when they started walking, so you have your hands full! Glad the move went fairly smoothly thanks for picking my answer. Enjoy your new home
At 10 months he's hardly going to notice so I wouldn't worry too much, as long as the people he knows are there he will be ok :)
Make sure that his room is as prepared as possible. Have some toys and other things scattered about so that he feels more at home. Also, as much as you can, maintain meal schedules and things like that. The closer you stay to the way things were before the move, the easier it'll be for your and your son.
Good luck with your move. It's not easy. It never is.
he'll be fine. tell him that your going on an adventure and he'll be happy make it positive
Could you paint his room the same colour as he has now? Tell him you are moving, he can understand more than you think. Tell him what to expect and show him where you will be sleeping, so that he can see you are close.
keep him close to you and make sure you spend a lot of time on him and attention, good luck with the move xx
We moved for the very first time when my son was 12 months old. It was our first time living alone without my husbands parents. We bought our son a new stuffed animal to sleep with at night and when we moved on the first night we told him that his new room was a very special room and we also got him a night light that he picked out himself. He slept very soundly that first night. Of course now that he is three years old he refuses to sleep in his own room. Good Luck. P.S. One thing to do is to make moving day an adventure instead of making it stessful though I know moving is always stressful
Put him in a box marked ' This way up'
we just moved as we would have done anyway are daughter was the same age we had no problems at all
try to decorate his room as much as possible to be similar to how his old room was.
When we moved, my kids had their own rooms for the first time, they loved it actually. But we made their usual toys were near them there .
Tell him to keep his back straight and bend at the knees old bean. Tip top.
Have the baby move with some adults.
No, no. A serious answer to a serious question. Okay. Hire a counselor and sit down with him and the counselor and explain that you got thrown out of your apartment.....no, no.
Sorry.
I think the baby will be fine. Just have all his toys handy and accessible.
Babies actually handle moves quite easily so long as they have their favorite blankie and that there isn't a draft or weird noise going on.
#1. can anyone watch him when you are physically moving things?
#2. get his room set up ASAP.
#3. he's only 10 months old. he's not going to be any more confused because it's a different house.
#4. the move might not be smooth for any or you.
just pay attention to him, and get things going in the same routine as normal. if you can have someone watch him during the day, it'll go faster and easier.makeup advice

What advice would you give to a time traveler?
I'm playing with an idea right now and I wonder, hypothetically speaking, you have to give advice to a time traveler, what are the top three to five things you would tell them to worry about on their travels?
I know the big one, try not to change anything. But try to picture your friend as the traveler, and think of friendly, real advice you might give them. Like, there is no safe sex when it comes to doing the nasty in the pasty.What advice would you give to a time traveler?
~Do your research first. Don't go to Communist Russia expecting rainbows and happiness.
~I know it's hard, but try not to cause a paradox. That means don't mess with anyone's parents, especially yours, because then you might not exist. But if you get a chance to save someone's life, do it. I know he/she will die. It's happened already. But could you live knowing you could have prevented a death...and did not?
~There is no such thing as coincidence. Everything happens for a reason, and maybe history turns out the way it did because you were there, and if you don't do what you did, America won't have won the war.What advice would you give to a time traveler?
Take toilet paper, toothbrush, soap and don't forget to wear the correct costume. A gun would be a good idea as well-or a force field if you happen to have one.Try to know the language too. Some of their money would be a good idea so you don't starve.
1)If you don't know what's going on,KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT
2)Act as though you're always being watched
3)Find someting to do to bide your time?
