I am a big Asus fan. Got my daughter a nice one for under 200 bucks a few years ago. Took me awhile to find it, but couldn't pass it up. I ran antibytes on it a month later after it was crawling along (really makes me rethink the antivirus programs out there). She had it loaded up with 600 hits of various bad stuff. It took 6 or so hours to run it. I didn't even bother to have it fix it. I just reformatted it.

Hi Volty's & Happy Anniversary and one day Wuzzz..... yesterday my son was in a tennis tourney, he made it to the consolation semi-finals so it was fun day but very busy ... Happy Vaps.
It's the same lye soap that grandma used to always keep around the house for everything. Bug bite? Acne? Sunburn? Poison ivy? Rash? Potty Mouth? Laundry stains? Dirty dishes? Cat pee on carpeting? Wash with Octagon. Formula's a little different now, but people say it still works really well. But wow, 40 cents for a gallon of laundry liquid that cleans better than Tide? White socks without bleach? I'll give it a shot. And if it works on my psoriasis, I'm gonna buy all the bars I can find (I think they've finally stopped making it, from like 1896)!

It's also been used to bait traps for catfish.
Wuzz, we always used Ivory to bait the trot lines. (When I lived in Oklahoma, they thought that was a fish tale--but then, they thought I made up boiled peanuts, too

What, you kids aren't using fisherman's soap?? Whatsa up wit' that?!
Are you serious?
I've never heard of it, but my Grandfather used to make his own stink bait for catching catfish using a sponge,cornmeal and chicken livers.
You all have a great night!!

Oh yeah...that too!
I think this was the same stuff (been googling a lot lately), but I think you can drop shavings around the perimeter of gardens to keep deer, rodents and rabbits away too. See? neat stuff, right?
There was something else that they used to use Borax or Borateen maybe? It was a white powder and she used to put it on fire ant beds,and around the house to keep snakes away since we lived in the woods.I never saw a snake close to the house but I'm not sure it was the borax that kept them away or our Fiest.Oh yeah...that too!

Maybe. That was one of the things I've been googling too (washing soda was the other one). One thing I remember for sure though: if you recycle gray water to irrigate, don't have Borax in it. It will kill all your plants. Ew, snakes...
Boraxo - My father used that to get the monkey grease off his hands. It's still around.

I can't imagine, Cindy.
It's not like any of us are coffee freaks or anything.
