Hey, does anyone have any super sekrit techniques for cleaning what appears to be melted/congealed butter in a fridge?  I think I had a stick of butter on the shelf when the power went out, and it melted and spread everywhere.  I'll be damned if I can get it up!  I've tried GooGone and baking soda/vinegar, and they didn't make a dent.  Help!

Have any of you seen Point Pleasant?  I've got a gift certificate at Amazon (thank you, suntrails!) and I'm getting Wonderfalls for $20.  If I spend another $5, I get free shipping, which I might as well do since I'd pay almost that anyway.

So, along with the regular Fox on DVD promo prices, they're offering Wonderfalls and PP together for $30.  Is it ( Read more... )

Argh.  I am THIS CLOSE to finishing my draft of the OMGFAITHISTOTALLYBI paper.  After 25 pages of genius, I somehow can't get the conclusion right.  The last comment is not what I want to say, but ... ugh.  Anyone want to offer insight?

F-list parents, how did you find your present daycare setup?  The Niece is very suddenly losing her wonderful daycare provider of two years, and The Sister is at a bit of a loss.  People in the Twin Cities, your advice is especially appreciated, but anyone, really ... where did you start?

Can anyone direct me to a good site or LJ-er for Faith banners?  My Serenity banner is starting to look a tiny bit dated.  Since it uses dates and all.

I'd try to make my own, but I have nowhere near that talent in PhotoShop!
