    Hmm. Maybe this won’t work. Here we go again. I came across a, “recipe”, for when your dog or cat has an encounter with a skunk. (Does not involve tomato juice!) I wrote it down, because when you need this, you need this! 1 Quart of hydrogen perioxide, (3%) 1/2 cup of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of dish soap. Lather it on a dry dog, (or cat) leave it on for 5 or six minutes.( until the smell is pretty much gone. Don’t get the solution on their face. You can use a spong delicately around face and ears. It will sting their eyes. Big dogs, you may have to multiply the solution. I heard of this, wrote it down. But I didn’t know if it actually works. It does! It was used by someone in our congregation. ̨ And, this was a house dog. (If you smell them really close, maybe a hint of skunk smell.

    It is used for hand washing the dishes, not machine washing them
  5. Qapla
    If you are dealing on-line, by email or text (like was mentioned earlier), how much gas a car has or how clean it is, doesn't matter. Do research first and know what your trade-in is worth before you deal with the salespeople. You can negotiate an equitable price for your trade-in if you know what it is worth and what you want for it.
  6. Watchful Sentinel
    Speaking of trade-ins, a former finance manager on YouTube said to always fill the gas tank to full before bringing the car you’re trading in to get appraised. That sounds counterintuitive, but the finance manager will look at your gas meter, and if it's close to empty, he'll conclude you’ve already made up your mind to trade it in and offer you less for it. Also, wash it. Don't bring it in dirty. You want them to see your car in its best possible condition and eliminate as many reasons as possible to lowball you.

    I use many tools. Some of them include the adjustable wrench (Cresent Wrench), water-pump/slip-groove pliers (Channellocks) and vise-locking pliers (Vise-Grips). Each of these tools has a proper use: adjustable wrench: common complaints are that they don't hold very well and often slip off, tending to round off bolts and nuts water-pump pliers: common complaints are that they don't grip pipes very well and they can be hard to hold closed Vise-locking pliers: common complaints are that the damage the surface of what they are used on and can be hard to adjust However, when examined closely, it is often found that: people often use the adjustable wrench 'backwards' allowing the jaws to open when under pressure because they are being forced open instead of forced closed they were originally designed for use on water pump nuts used on early vehicles, not pipes and are not the same as a pipe wrench clamping vise-locking pliers too tight can make them hard to close and cause damage because they are not really a 'universal tool', they are a 'last resort' tool That said, when used properly, they work quite well. The same can be said of AI. They are tools. When used correctly - for the job they are intended, they can result in very good results. When used wrong, they can give as bad of results as using the above-named wrenches wrong. Does that mean that all the faults that occur with AI are 'user error' ... No. It also doesn't mean that all AI's are wrong 'all the time' and can't ever be trusted. Your results may vary - I've had both types of results ... far more good results than bad.

    Sure. I’ve never sold cars, but I was offered a sales job when I was 22 that I worked for a little while. I’ve have had several family members who sold cars, so all I can do is offer my opinion of the pros and cons of being in the retail car business based on what they told me and what I know about it. I’ll send you a personal message tomorrow when I have more time.

    Another tip is not to mention or discuss a trade-in until the OTD price has been established. That way you will be offered what they really think your car is worth instead of them building an inflated used car price into the cost of your new car purchase. Likewise, rolling over you existing loan into the new one only builds negative equity into your new car purchase.

    I am aware of everything you mentioned, including the different types of “cash” purchases, since I've bought cars cash different ways. The point I was making was paying in full (Whether using actual currency, cashiers check, bank wire or personal check) is frowned upon as opposed to financing by dealerships. I wasn’t concerned with getting into the specifics of various forms of cash payments.

  15. LeolaRootStew started following JW Broadcasting—July 2026 and Can I search beyond words
  16. LeolaRootStew
    My cat died right in front of me after several violent spasms. It was very shocking and it was difficult to comprehend that she was gone. I held her and pet her until rigor mortis set in and we went to the woods and buried her next to her brother. We decided no more pets until the New System because we feel a deep responsibility for their welfare and we can't guarantee their safety or want them used as leverage against us during the GT. I know the future will have endless animal friendships that I can't even imagine and I'm content to wait.

    I know that this does not answer the question, but since you know 3 words in the scripture quote and one of them is somewhat unique, why don't you just search for the word 'indescribable'? The scripture in 2 Cor pops up right away.

    "Indescribable free gift" search options. May I put forward some suggestions. I am not sure if you want to search the 'topic' or search for exactly the same phrase or words in the NWT or other translations. The first step is to type the words in the search section at the top. (Pic-1) This gives 3 search sections: Top verses; All verses; Articles This will find the exact match (Pic-2) And also some articles (Pic-3) The quickest search for information specific to the verse, is to press on the '💎' (Gem) logo. (Pic-4) This opens the side (or secondary) pane specific to this verse. (Pic-5) There you can find articles, topics and referenced scriptures. A final option: If you are in a verse (like Pic-2), you can also press and hold on the word. This pops up a box. (Pic-6) Move to the right arrow, and it will show an option called "Topic". This too will give insight to the verse and 'Topics'. I hope this helps. (There may be others too. These are the ones I use.) And you also can go out of the app to the WOL (online library), and search online there. (Pic-8) This will also allow examination of the word search and index search as well as the scripture index. There are many powerful operators (and/or *) and search options available online. I think there is a video on these online search options. (And I think they work on the CD/DVD version as well.)

    Apparently it’s flexible for scrubbing skillets, etc. and can be dropped inside of glasses, vases, etc. to scrub them clean—made of stainless steel.

    I have noticed that too. Doing a search for a phrase cannot be done easily in JW Library or on jw.org. However, if you are looking for "Indescribable free gift" (which is 2 Corinthians 9:15), do your search on Watchtower Library (DVD version) or wol.jw.org; it can be done easily there. Type in the phrase you are looking for in the search box, surrounded by quotation marks ("), and you will find it quickly.

    To survive in this system I often prayed to not feel. Begged for it, and Jehovah answered. There's so much hurt in this world sometimes not feeling is the best medicine. FYI, in the last 5 years I had 4 little dogs and lost all. Heartbreaking. So to pray to not feel is a good coping mechanism for where we are.

    How much more sadness we feel when our loved ones, suffer.
  28. Ludwika
    My cats lived to 20 and 18 and my dog to 15, so yes I understand how you are feeling ❤️ And I've made the same decision, no more pets this side of Armageddon, simply because I would worry about them if I can't look after them during the GT.

    Yes ... so many of us have experienced exactly what you describe. It's a deep and profound sadness. On the day we lost our last pet, a sister happened to call not knowing what just happened. I told her it was one of the saddest days of my life losing our little "guy". She said something that initially hurt and seemed cold, heartless. But ... it worked for me, well, somewhat. She said "Don't think about it." So every time I started to think about how badly I missed him, I prayed and prayed to Jehovah to please let me not think about it. He helped me. Over time the pain subsided. This was my experience and even now as I type, tears well up. Please know you are not alone in your feelings. They bring us such happiness and comfort, don't they. It's difficult when they are gone.

    I'm sorry you're feeling so much pain, @Dhanyel. I think Brother @Araujo JW would have something to say about this, and I hope I'm not overstepping by saying that.💛

      Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”

      I think someone somewhere said they knew someone that makes notebooks for conventions/assemblies. I would love to support them and get a notebook for the upcoming regional. A friend of mine gave me a spare she was given for the assembly and it helped me enjoy the assembly a bit better because i had no use for my phone so i wasn't just fiddling around (I can write faster than i can type, within the first sentence i have no idea what is being said and i get lost when im typing notes)
