nancia---I was so tickled when I found Rubbing alcohol down here I ran home to play with my Sharpies (labeled in English so they are real ones) I think the problem is that the alcohol strength is suspect. Going to break open a bottle of 'real' stuff' and see how it goes. LOL
We've had itchy feet most of our adult lives. Every 10 years or so we wind up relocating somewhere exotic. (Canada,Australia, England, NM, etc) We decided to 'retire' from San Diego CA 3 years ago and are now in Chile. Love it altho my Spanish still sucks. First thing I have to do of course is find the fabric stores in town. That is soo much fun.........
BTW DD lives in Austin.
