Where can you find bulk french barrettes and no slip grips besides Ebay?

I have been making hair bows for a little over a year and every site I go to gives options of single prong, double, snap clips or french barrettes. I can not find them anywhere I am also trying to figure out where to get no slip grips for the prong clips. Does anyone know where I can find these? TYIA

I sell hair bows and I keep seeing people on ebay with M2M. It looks like different sellers and I am not sure what it means. Can anyone help me out?

every night I ask my husband what he is thinking.....he always replies nothing. I keep telling him that is not possible and he tells me he thinks of nothing all the time. Is this strange or am I the strange one since my mind is always reeling? Please state if you are a man or female also when you post. I would love to know if you can think of nothing. Thinking black walls does not count either!

I live in an apartment that does black light tests. On our own inspection we saw some interesting things and are assuming it it is urine from our potty training daughter. We have cleaned the area with a bunch of urine removal products but the area is still showing up on black light tests. They are much lighter, can not be seen by normal light and have no smell.

Has any one ever cleaned up urine and then black lighted the areas to see the area clean?

What did you use?

Thanks in advance

We rented an apartment and signed a lease stating that when we move we will have a blacklight test done on all carpets to ensure no urine is on it when we leave because we have a dog.....no big deal as our dog does not urinate on carpets.

Our 2 year old is potty training and has peed on our carpets on more then one occassion. We normally catch it right away but recently we bought a blacklight and found more stains. All of the stains are showing with a blacklight old and new. The old ones are lighter and not as prominent. We have steam cleaned our carpets many many times and even used urine removers but they are still showing under a blacklight.

Does know how to make it not appear with a blacklight test?

My daughter currently has both of these but one is getting returned. I got both of them at great prices (the cottage for $30 and the Castle for $35). I know the castle is a little bigger and normally retails for $200, but I think the cottage looks more toddler friendly. Has anyone seen these in person as I can not find a place that has them set up anywhere. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I researched the internet today because my daughter threw a red crayon in the dryer while it was running. Everthing that I read either did not work or was very difficult so I tried my own method AND it WORKED!!!!!! Here it is for all those who run into this!

I had a small bottle of goo gone that I bought at the dollar store (2 oz I think) I dumped it into the washer and filled it with water (originally cold but after 2 hours no change so I then added hot) I let the clothes soak for almost 6 hours. Most of it was gone by then. I then ran the washer 2 more times with detergent to get the greasy feel off the clothes. (I did this once before on a smaller scale for superglue and it also worked then....maybe I should buy stock in goo gone and magic erasers since I love them so much!

Everything came out perfect as if the crayon incident never happened. I am not sure if the hot water made a difference but nothing had to get thrown away. Hope this helps future searchers!!!

I recently bought a garmin GPS. I know that you can buy maps to update it in the future but I have been told Tom tom has free downloads for the future. Does any one know if this is true and or if Garmin has free downloads also?

Best buy recommended the Garmin along with many reviewers but I know two people extremely happy with their tom tom. They did not have any information on the future maps/downloads. Any help would be great since I only have 30 days to return it.

My husband and I are planning on buying a car GPS. Honestly everything on the websites confuse us. We are looking for a simple GPS that will tell us where to go when we need it. Nothing more complicated then that but we also want it to be dependable and simple..

It looks like Garmin sells well (according to best buy) while we have a freind who has tom-tom. What do you recommend and why?

Our tank recently added a beautiful Colbalt Blue Fresh Water Lobster. I was hoping you could help me find ways to help my lobster molt in peace as i have been told that they are very vulnerable at this time and my friends have lost theirs in the past.

We have had this lobster for about a week and he has a cave even though he likes to dig under a rock. He is a lot of fun to watch. What do we need to do to make him comfortable when molting.

basics:

55 gallon tank

8 Tigers

1 Catfish

1 Clown loach (he is in quarantine as he is new)

2 Leaf fish (one is in quarantine as it too is new)

My beautiful lobster

Can i treat my fish for Fungus and Ich at the same time?

My 55 gallon tank is almost cleared of ICH but not quite. I have only spotted two small white dots on two separate fish (each has one). The problem is that one of the fish that has the white dot has a cottony growth on it also and may be showing signs of hemorrhagic septicemia. I already lost a fish due to tail rot and would like to treat this fish before it dies

I am treating with

ICH: quick Cure (main ingredients Formalin, Malachite Green)

Would like to add fungus clears ( main ingredietns are nitrofurazone, furazolidone, Potassium, dichromate).

The ich is almost gone and may be gone (been treating for over a week now). My eyes keep thinking they see one small dot on two separate fish. The fungus has been there for days though...... do not plan on buying any different meds as I have a ton of different ICH treatments and really need to just stick to the course and stop changing brands.

My tank is currently 86 degrees

ICH was from a bad fish my tank levels have been zero across the board and my tank was cycled completely

Thank you

I have been treating my tank for over a week as it came out quick and covered my tank. I do not plan on buying any different meds as I have a ton of different ICH treatments and really need to just stick to the course. My tank is currently 86 degrees also with only quick cure in it if you do not count the remnants of Maracyn

Oh yeah and I bought a bad fish my tank levels have been zero across the board and my tank was cycled completely

Thank you

Last week (9 days ago) I bought two fish from a petstore that had a bad shipment. All their fish got ICH a few days after they received them to include the ones I bought.

I have been treating my tanks (Ibought one for each tank community and semi-aggressive) for 5 days now. I complained tot he store and they for-warned me by telling me that the ICK was medication resistant and they lost all of their shipment.

My fish (some) are still alive and still have ICH after 5 days of treatment

I have been rotating meds Maricide from Mardel and Jungle tablets (ick clear)

in my 55 g community tank I have lost close to 30% of my adults and almost all the babies

In my 30 semi agressive I lost my shark and the catfish that I bought

What do I need to do to get rid of this and stop losing fish. Change the water more or less please help!

what I have done

1. increased salt

2. siphoned out gravel daily then medicating

3. Day 4 increased temp to 86 F

4. PLaced a blackout blanket over each tank

5. Taken away dead fish 3 times daily

Really need help this is my fist case of ICK and I am not doing well

thanks

Recently I bought two fish to find out 4 days later that the fish had ick and it was two late both tanks were contaminated. I am currently on day three and still losing fish. I took out my cory cats as they seemed to have bad reactions to the medication {MAricide from Mardel) (along with my shark who died). I did half dosages on both tanks do to the shark and cory cats now that they are removed/dead should I do full dossages?

I am currently on day three and still see lots of white spots which seem to keep getting worse

??????????????????????????

1. When will the spots go away?

2. What type of antibotic do I follow up with after the ICK treatment

3. Was it a bad idea to remove the cory cats and put them into a 10 gallon tank or should I have left them

4. Should I add my Plecos (clown) to the other tank without medication?

Please help I have already lost 6 fish and tons of babies in my 55 gallon community tank

In my semi aggressive 30 gallon tank I have lost an expensive catfish and a shark

both tanks are beginning to look extremely empty

30 gallon what is left

4 tiger barbs

1 pleco

55 gallon

5 fancy guppies

2 platys

some babies

1 clown pleco

(two frogs and two cory cats which are currently in the 10 gallon.)

Thanks

I was just feeding my fish and I noticed that all of my baby swordtails have snowflakes covering them (pretty sure it is ICK)

After a closer inspection I noticed it on the tail of a guppy and all over another guppy and a platy. I added more salt and getting ready to turn up the temp but do not know how high since I have aquatic frogs in there also

I have a 55 gal tank

1 Pleco clown

2 Cory cats

4 Platys

1 baby Molly

8 Guppys (fancy all male)

lots of baby platies and baby swordtails

2 aquatic frogs that always hide so I can not check on them :(

I can go to the store tomorrow ( will the corys and the frogs survive the treatment though) but it is closed for tonight (except maybe walmart?) The babies are completely covered (suprised I did not notice earlier.........Need advice on how to make them survive the night without killing them by turning up the heat too high....it is currently only at 80 F

I clean my tank bi weekly. It reads 0 across the board for any toxins.. Bought a fish from petsmart 5 days ago (he has ICK but minor compared to the babies and he looked healthy when I bought him. PLease help

I keep reading articles about painted fish and recently ran into them at a local mom and pops pet store. These fish are injected with a dye with large gage needles and only 10% of them survive on average. Not only that but the ones that survive don't even keep their coloring. I am just interested in how many people find this practice appalling as compared to amusing. I am not trying to judge but i would love for someone to tell me I am crazy for thinking this is horrible or just interested in what you have to say. Here is an article to read for fun.

I am still going out of my mind with my nitrite levels.

Currently my Ammonia is still 0 (has been for over 2 weeks)

my Nitrate is now 0 (yesterday was between .25 and .50 ppm)

But my nitrite is still fluctuating between 2-5

I have been changing 15% of my water twice daily and it has not changed it at all....I test it before the change 5 minutes after the change and one hour after and the color is always between 2 and 5 dark purple.

I tested my water conditioner also (mixed with water and it came out 0 ppm just like the regular water. I have not lost any fish but I am worried that something is very wrong and this is just a symptom. Last week I lost a fish which was in a dive position stuck in the gravel (She was a molly) which made me test the levels only 3 days after my last test.

My tank is 55 gallons

3 platys

1 moly

5 guppies

1 cory catfish

1 small Clown Pleco

Did not fill tank all the way hoping to keep oxygen levels high.

Please help ....Thank you

My tank has been reading high in nitrites and nitrates for about a week. I have been doing partial water changes daily and yesterday twice. My tap water measures 0 for both nitrates and nitrates. Ammonia has been zero and today is between 0-.025 but I still think it is closer to zero (very yellow)

My conditioner is NovAqua plus (Echinacea, vitamins, and anti-virus protection) Says will not interfere with tests results of kits.......

My fish look healthy but two guppies are showing slight damage to their anal fins....I think it may be due to fighting though

I have 5 guppies

1 dalmatian Molly

4 Platies

1 Pleco

1 Clown fish

and a lot of fry

What am I doing wrong and why are my levels so high

Current levels

Nitrate 2-5 and closer to the dark 5 color

Nitrite 1-2 closer to 1 though

Ammonia 0-.25 has been zero during all these high readings and I still think it may be zero and my eyes are trying to find a solution to the green

Partial water changes have not done anything to alleviate th
