I changed the colors and wrote a new page for backtalk. Comments, anyone?

The change was for backtalk, you know, the web thing.
How would you guys like a scrolling login screen? Now that would be da bomb.

(I was kidding you. I know dialins cannot see colors unless they set them
at their own end.)

A bit of work to read the blue-on-blue, but I like the green buttons.

OK, I changed the colors. They should be light blue background and a
off white text. Hope this is Ok with y'all.

Looks cool.
Heh, due to high costs of apt. laundry machines, Julie and I do
laundry at her folks' house.

I request that item 83, "Laundry", of the current agora be linked to
the laundry conference.
There is no current activity in the laundry conference so users coming
here will consider it dead and not stick around. There is a perfectly
good laundry discussion going on in agora. Let's get it here in the
laundry conference too, so we can participate in it where it belongs.

I'll take it under advisment.
OK. Here's my position. Linking would give the conference life, however,
it is just picking the best parts of the conference without evoking any real
participation in the conference. This is why I dont link. I would rather have
people join my conference and read all the items, rather than paople just
reading one item that is a link.
No link.

That will lead to you being all alone in your dead conference.

If I were to follow an active link to a conference, I would then probably look
for other things to read in that conference.

Yes. I tried to see if I could stir up some activity, but it doesn't
seem to have worked. I guess we just leave omni and his laundry to
sleep in peace.

well, If he can tell me how to get a grease stain off a t-shirt, I will
enter at least one new item a month for the next three months. I have
already run the shirt through the dryer and have washed it a couple of
times since the salad dressing accident. ;)

What fabric(s) is the T-shirt made of? (Does it have an iron-on on
anything similar?)
Is the grease stain generic-store-dressing grease? Is it colored?

Once it has been through the dryer you're pretty much screwed. Heat sets most
stains.

Try rinsing it in painter's naphtha. That will dissolve the oil/grease.
There may, however, have been stuff present that stained the fabric
too, which this would not remove. (Do the rinsing in naphtha outdoors,
and avoid ignition sources.)
Would bleaching be feasible (unsually only useful on plain white fabric)?

It is a plain green cotton T-shirt. I didnt notice the stain until
after I put it in the dryer. It is plain old salad dressing oil. I know
lots of ways to get oil stains like that out of fabric if one notices
*before* putting it through the dryer but none for after. It seems to
me that a grease stain will fade eventually or something. *shrug*.
I have never heard of naphtha. Is this something the guys at the
hardware store will have heard of? It seems worth trying.

You can get it there, or down to the local refinery.
oops, forgot that you're not in Toledo.

So is the stain just grease, or is it the color of the "russian" dressing
(or whatever)?
If it's color, i'd try enzyme pre-treatments & a toothbrush.
If it's grease, i'd try detergent pre-treatments & a toothbrush first,
then solvents & rubbing with paper towel second.

Wet clothing dries in a few hours on the line in summer weather - why run the
dryer at all?

Because "line drying" isn't much of an option in my apartment, and it
tends to make my underwear come out like cardboard.
