    To the person who gave me the sweeper I am now breaking down....

    Karma. I have to believe it will come back to you some day. And when it does I hope you think about that INK you vaccumed up before giving it to me to break down. The pants were blue and my hand well, its just not coming off. Needless to say my workbench and floor are a mess too.

    Maybe they would like to know what an air chisel on the top of their finger nail feels like.

    Can't say much for your parents, but there is some kind of soap that auto mechanics use, and that stuff works miracles getting all kinds of stuff off your hands. Haven't needed to use it in a while, so cant think of the name, but should be able to google it.

    Another good thing to use is the byproduct of making b100...that will clean your hands and wash away oil very easy. Not sure on ink...but if your clothes are oily...let them sit in the glycerin and then rinse them off and wash them in the water...they come out clean the first time.

    Easy, does that go by any other name? I never heard of it before?

    I would love to get my hands on some.

    glycerin is part of the byproduct of making bio diesel....another great thing you can get as a byproduct is a slimy soap that is made from the glycerin....its slimy feels weird..an looks nasty...but it will make your skin soft as hell. Find someone who makes bio diesel an tell them you want there glycerin an glycerin soap...they have a hard time getting ride of it...most times they will just burn it (yes it will burn like hell..but it needs to be on a good fire...so don't put it in a fire place thinking it will not burn...just keep it away from fire..but over all its pretty safe stuff.)

    Will keep that in mind. I plan soon to be going with a company called Unifirst http://www.unifirst.com/ for uniforms. Very cheap for what you get, and when things get torn or dirty beyond cleaning, it is replaced for free.

    You get 11 shirts and 11 pairs of pants per week for $25. However, for a company with more than 1 employee like yours, I am sure the cost will be different (meaning cheaper). If you contact a local sales rep, they can definitely tell you.

    The uniforms will have a name if you want on it, your business name and logo, etc.

    They have so many colors and styles of shirts and pants to choose from, it is awesome.

    They don't do just clothes. They can do toiletries, and other stuff, but for me, it will just be uniforms. It is the CHEAPEST way I know of, to help a business look professional.

    Also, during winter, they will provide you good winter jackets like construction workers use, and other stuff too.

    Heck no, it isn't. I use ****ie Pants which I currently get from walmart at about $15 a piece for all my scrapping. They are more durable then blue jeans.

    However, when I calculate the cost of them versus the cost with Unifirst, not to mention I will get shirts with my company name and logo on them, then it is definitely a no brainer at all.

    There is another company similar (cant think of the name) that is just like Unifirst that my in laws currently use but they suck majorly. A lot of my father in laws shirts are ripped or shady at the bottom, stained, etc. Not how they are supposed to be. Come to think of it, they been looking different lately, so they might have switched lol.

    Is that $25 per week or $25 per month?

    Ah yes ink.....You gotta love it...When my second employee started work he was assigned to printers....Little did he know that it was a bad idea to tip some of them over. By the end of the day his jeans were several different colors. Little did he realize that the ink soaks through clothing....Imagine his surprise when he jumped in the shower when he got home and looked south! LOL

    for your hands, you can use "lava soap" it has pumice in it. but THE BEST thing to get is called goop. its a hand cleaner and gets anything off your hands! we stock up and swear by it for oil, gas, paint, varnish, anything.
