    Oh my goodness - you must mean pixie dust. That's what ladies puff and it smells like roses and has no matter, not even one molecule... :heehee:

    D dust, well, if they don't wash their hands, how often would they be washing that? :yikes:

    There's also what my mother used to call "old people dirt/dust" - the stuff that makes them and their homes smell a little pongy and stale and sprinkled with a little essence of moth ball. :sad:

        Dick Dust (love it) might use it the next time the two male relatives are visiting.

        There's loads of options.

        1. Flick it out of the window
        2. Store it on the end of one finger, use another finger to harvest more and add to the first one. See how big you can get it by the end of thejourney.
        3. Roll it between finger and thumb, see how long it takes to disappear, presumably absorbed into the skin.
        4. Wipe it on the health of your left shoe.
        5. Find a scrap of paper in the little cupboard/pocket in the door. See how many bogies you can store on the scrap of paper by the end of the journey. Put the paper back. Reminds wife it's her turn to collect the rubbish out of the car.

        Or, not one of mine but I've seen it happen a few times.... Eat it.

            It's a real horrid feeling when you are made to feel guilty about not having children, but I think It has to be personal choice. Like you I have a furry variety :cat-kittyandsmiley:& seven feathered varieties :chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken::chicken:! I love animals :wub2:

              I love the kids. Got two and 9 grandchildren. Aren't my boys a productive lot!

              oh, another thing I dislike. Our pubs are mostly sports bars. They might have one tv that is not playing pro sport this or that and this one tv is usually tuned to a news channel. They have it muted (fine) but the captions turned off, how stupid! !!

                  You've just reminded me of a chore I have to do. I ran out of screen wash on the way home, with 20 miles of unlit, inadequately marked, dark, wet country road still to do. So in the morning, I'll have to mess about in the cold adding more screen wash. I hate that.

                      Is it on either the left or right stalk on the steering column, Lori? That's usually where they put the control. On some you can depress the stalk to make the rear wiper work, or pull it downwards. On my People Carrier it's actually on the tip of the tip of the stalk as a 3 point switch.:coffee::snork:

                          Hi Armandii,

                          I think you could have phrased that a bit better ! ! !

                          It looks like you're welcoming Lori to play with your stalk :roflol:
