A friend insisted on giving me a couch. The previous owner overdid the Axe body spray, or some other dirt cheap men's cologne that reeks. The couch is about 20 years old and of course, that shows on the arms. I need to figure out how to clean that too.

But with the smell of Axe on this thing, I have used three bottles of Nature's Miracle so far and that's not working. I need help! Either a sure fire way to get the reek out, or help to take it to the dumpster. Help!

Do you ever leave early to avoid the traffic jam leaving the parking lot?

Are Franco-American and Chef-Boy-Ar-Dee products sacrilegious? Or are they allowed for those who can't make a sauce that will stick to the pasta?

Let's forget they won't work if there's more than 10% humidity in the air, which here in New Mexico is July through September, the time you actually need a working cooling system the most. But I have never experienced this before. In the northeast, where I had fans and window air conditioners, my drinks didn't go flat. In Oklahoma, with central air, my drinks didn't go flat. In another part of the very town where I am now, my drinks didn't go flat. But since I moved to a house with a swamp cooler, it doesn't matter what I'm drinking. Club soda, Diet Coke, Perrier... They all go flat in the space of an hour. So I ask, why do swamp coolers cause carbonated drinks to go flat?

... Then why do so many of you here have such bigoted attitudes towards those who aren't Christian, but especially toward those who are gay or lesbian?

I ask this after reading the answers in this thread: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201108...

You answer a question honestly. The question is posed in such a way you get a vision of Eric Cartman dressed as Hitler. It is a question so offensive that you can't believe it didn't get deleted. When you go back in a few hours, you get the message that you are unable to view the question at this time.

OK, so you've been blocked by someone who is all for extermination of those who don't follow their narrow concepts of God and religion. You block them in turn, because experience has taught you these people will stalk those they disagree with and turn into report monkeys. But does this happen very often? Do you get that sense of annoyance because you realize the little troll, who hates being called a troll is blocking people who disagree to make sure his questions stay and he doesn't have to create yet another account?

Or am I just being a bit sensitive this morning?

... Then why is the Devil's workshop filled with idle hands?

It seems a far right Christian group is planning to disrupt the religious festivities of a non-Christian group in D.C. at the end of October. Do you think it's far to practice this sort of religious discrimination? How would you feel if there were protesters outside of your church on say Christmas?

Who is up for drinks? And for a bit of watching those who thought the world was ending the day before try to do their Christmas shopping all at once?

And we are all sinners, does that mean God hears no prayers? I just saw an answer saying God can't hear sinners, so that's why prayers aren't answered. So I am curious about this, because I thought one of the reasons for prayer was to pray to be forgiven. Would someone please be kind enough to explain this Catch-22 to me?

That if a baby is born for a day, it sinned in the spiritual realm? Really, it's one of the answers in the linked thread.

I know people are always looking for a sign. But seriously, do you see Jesus on this receipt? Jesus had pointed ears? And Rasputin's eyes? I think this looks more like a cross between Ted Bundy and the wolfman.

Can I offer you a piece of gum?

Does anyone know if one of the long term effects of pain killers has anything to do with ones ability to deal with the temperature of a room? My roommate invited some people to stay for a while who are long term pain patients who, along with their other issues, seem to think any temperature under 75 is "freezing." Unless it's high summer, then any temperature above 60 is "roasting."

Does this have anything to do with the fact doctors keep feeding them pain killers and muscle relaxants, or are they just well, messed in the head?

... Then how did angels manage to rebel against god? Isn't their rebellion sinning, since they chose not to do what god ordered?

...Then how do you explain this little bit of Matthew 6? This is from the KJV, too...

16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Why do you believe Catholics are not Christians?

Or do you secretly pray for favors and hope it shows love, so you can stop hating it?

Well, at least one is still performing. I mean, aren't they getting a bit old?
