I was told it is good for tear staining…but I gave it to her for the last couple of days and she started acting a bit lethargic. She also ate some wool from my oriental rug….so I do not know what is truly causing the problem???

I walk along dark paneled halls
On silent feet except for old floor creaks,
And in complete night
(I used to know this darkness! But now I
Gently bump the walls, hands held out in blindness).
Through one far window snow piles up on pane,
Muffling the weary wilds
That creep up from out-of-doors, the heath, the moors.
Your door –my breath stops – and it opens gently
And you – tenderly lying in dying hearth-light,
In twisted blankets and asleep.
Tip-toeing across the deep oriental rug, crawling
Into the covers,
Breathing now to settle my body against yours…
You wake dreamily and say nothing but a smile
And a kiss in my hair and your hands finding
Mine, and this says enough.

1) Coleslaw-it’s watery mayo and cabbage…ewww..
2) Licorice…it’s just nasty
3) Pork rinds…it’s fried pig skin..pigs roll in poop…gross
4) liver…the liver removes toxins from the body..why would you eat toxins?
5) curry…there are over 1000 recipes for curry…because it’s so disgusting they had to keep trying to make it good…thai curries are ok, the rest are smelly, yellow, rank and poop inducing!
6) bamboo shoots..the texture is gross, like eating an oriental rug boiled in brillo or something…nasty

What are your most hated foods? Why? Be sure to add WHY…the why part is always funny IMHO!

My dog keeps eating bits of an oriental rug – it looks like a huge moth has been snacking on it. Is there anything I can do to keep her from eating the rug? I don’t want to take the rug up because the wood floor is hard and does a number on my knees.

What’s the best way to learn the history and possible value of a large, 13′ x 26′ oriental rug? A friend is thinking about selling hers, and she wonders how to go about this without getting ripped off by a used car(pet) salesman. The rug was made sometime before 1890, probably.

Also, has anyone ever had a valuable rug cleaned? Could such a rug be ruined if cleaned improperly?

A buddy of mine who lives in a town near me, used to work at this pizza place that was owned by Egyptians, where we were eating at the other day. He said when he worked there, at one point during the day, they would put an oriental rug down in the restaurant or something, and have a praying session. I think they pray towards Allah. I know anubis was an Egyptian god, but from a few thousand years ago. That’s who I thought they prayed to, lol. It’s fine by me, but if the Egyptians pray towards Allah, and they are good people, why does Osama follow Allah and terrorist extremist follow Allah, and do bad things? What is the difference between people in a religion who pray towards Allah who are good people and would never commit a terrorist act as opposed to a terrorist extremeist or whatever you refer to Osama Bin Laden’s group of people? I’m just interested in learning more about religions, and just interested in history in general. I know history, just not a lot of religion, and I don’t no if I sound dumb, just want to enlighten my mind. Any information will be helpful.
Chill out people, I’m interested, and do believe there is a God, I’m just interested and want to be educated the right way. Sorry if people are confused by this question. this question was not to degrade any religion.

I hope you understand my question, just curious, and don’t mean anything by it at all.
@ Lady, no, I’m just interested in who they pray to is all, and about their culture and religious beliefs.

Do blind people decorate the interiors of their homes? This sounds like an insensitive question. but truly, what purpose would pictures on a wall, or an exquisite chandelier, or a stylish oriental rug serve to someone who is concerned more with safety, comfort, touch, etc. Are their homes sparse on the inside with minimum stuff? I ask this because I recently saw a collection of braille magazines, and such a vibrant photo-spread issue of People magazine in braille is just white pages with the bumps which got me thinking about what else blind people couldn’t care less about.

our family room has 2 giant custom made chocolate brown sofas with big rustic metal rivets. In addition there is another brown leather recliner. They sit on an oriental rug that has black, raspberry, mustard and a kind of aqua blue in it. That rug sits on an oatmeal color carpet. The other 2 pieces of furniture in the room are a granite cocktail table with creams and dark grey and a warm pine colored trestle table/sofa table. As I type this it sounds horrible, it is lots of Big statement pieces, The room is very boring looking. Originally I went with a of tuscany goldish wall to go with the mustard in the rug and the brown sofas and warm pine trestle table, with aqua blue pillows, bad choice. Feels lifeless.I am wondering taupe walls? Any help would be appreciated.
wow thanks for all the advice, so maybe I had it all wrong? I had warm toned walls, as I thought if you had warm toned furniture you would stay in that tone?, maybe that’s why it seems drab? It just doesn’t seem "clean" . I need a cool toned wall? I am tending towards the taupe grey but the family room is open to the kitchen and I have lots of stainless steel in there, what I do with the family room walls I will do (shade up or down) in the kitchen so i don’t want a real grey wall with stainless steel.
I kind of like the colors on the restoration hardware site, creams, greys taupes. But have never lived in greyish walls before so?

We have a 5×8 oriental rug that needs cleaning.
i’ve looked online and i know it might be hard to get a quote but
does anyone have any experience in this department?
like, how much should it end up costing???
it has a deep and wide pee mark from my basset and a soda "stain" in the opposite corner.
also… i am in the CENTRAL NEW JERSEY area.
if anyone has any prices and places to suggest, i’d totally appreciate it !
i don’t want to go about this myself.. i want a professional to do it.
just want to add…. yes, it’s a silk rug. hand woven.
oh, and the "stains" are not visual. they are soaked in and smelly, except i cleaned them the best i can but want it professionally cleaned, of course

So right now my room is really pretty. The way I like it, except my friend just moved out and we had been sharing a room so her beds gone and there’s a big open area. Right now my room has a lot of rich colors and patterns. With drippy tapestries and lights strung across the ceiling. I have a ton of pillows and a queen sized bed. But to the left of my bed there’s about 6 or 7 feet of empty space. I thought having a sort of Indian style tent could be neat but I’m not sure how to do that. The only oriental rug I own is already on use at the foot of my bed which takes up about 1/2 the floor space. Based on that style I just told you about what do you suggest I put in the open space? Thanks!

According to this http://www.webexhibits.org/hockneyoptics/post/intro_hypothesis.html
The pattern of the oriental rug goes out of focus in the middle, but the back of it goes back into focus.

Do they mean it’s blurry, cause it doesn’t look blurry to me?
Also, in the following painting http://www.ln.edu.hk/chi/docs/vermeer_milkmaid.jpg
the basket in the background is supposedly in focus while the basket in the foreground is supposedly out of focus. Again, how can you tell if it’s out of focus, it doesn’t look blurry to me?
