A little off subject but, I heard that store bought repellant that has DEET in it will melt the rubber coatings on most cameras. Wash your hands before grabbing your camera!


I've heard this as well. My reservation is using it on my face around the eyes, nose and mouth.

I'm gonna try the vanilla. Skin-so-soft is sort of oily for my liking and I don't care for the scent.
Listerine is fine and I don't worry about putting my fingers in my mouth or near my eyes.
I really do like the taste ( I mean scent) of vanilla.

I just got the full blown porn ad again by going to this thread. I copied and will paste the link here so you can see that I'm not bs-ing and so someone might be able to help me or so that the UHH managers can investigate. I do have malware and virus software called Lookout on my tablet and my phone.

Instructions

1. Get a clean, shallow small container and add 1 tbs. of pure, clear, sugarless vanilla extract. Using vanilla extract that contains added ingredients, like sugar, may result in sticky skin and attract more insects.
2. Add 1 tbs. of water to the container. Stir the mixture so that the vanilla extract and water mix thoroughly.
3. Dip a cotton ball or another absorbent material into the mixture and wipe it on your skin. Make sure to treat all exposed areas.
4. Apply undiluted drops of vanilla extract to your neck, wrists and other pulse points.
5. Reapply the solution and undiluted vanilla extract drops at the first sign of its effectiveness diminishing. Using vanilla extract as an insect repellent usually works for approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Got this off the web. Don't know if it works or not. Just make sure the Vanilla Extract is PURE. No additives! Don't want no stinkin' bears!

I just mix 1/8 vanilla and 7/8 water in a spritzer bottle.

Here in Southern Illinois we have a plague of "Stinging Gnats" which we called "no Seeums" in Florida.... they go for the eyes and nostrils and just flat drive you crazy...

Spritz the above mixture on your face and neck and all exposed skin and you are gnat free, as well as mosquitoes for about 2 hours.. and a bonus is that you smell good..

The only reason I posted my complaint here is because this is the link that I clicked on when this porn site popped up. I'm thinking that whatever ad or something might have been part of this page that made the porn come up on my tablet. I am not a computer guy and I've already complained once before about this and I don't know where else to go.

JeepDaddy..

I do not understand.. Does the porn site come up when you click on the UHH site or when you click on the URL you linked here..>??????

If it comes up when you click on the UHH site URL, I would have to assume that it is coming from some other problem with your computer/tablet... ????

I haven't been on here a great deal of time, but have never heard of this problem before..

First off, it doesn't happen all the time. It's happened 3 times in the past month or so. It has only happened with using my tablet. It happened last when I clicked on this thread. Just this thread. I'd been looking at UHH and clicking on the different threads for an hour before it happened this time. I just captured the screen and I copy and pasted the link here and made my complaint. The only reason I did it here on this thread is because it happened when I clicked on this link. I didn't click on any ads, but it is possible that I accidentally clicked an ad. I hate those ads.

I do have a virus and malware program running on my tablet and phone called Lookout. Anyone feel free to Google it. I believe it's a very good program used to protect my tab and phone. Those things are expensive you know.

On this very page I'm typing there are two ads; both connected to pages I had been on earlier.
One is for Envirocare Pest Control (Mosquito repellent) the thread of this page.
The other is for Grainger Industrial Supply--specifically handtrucks; the other topic I had investigated a short time ago.
Maybe the porn site misinterpreted something you wrote on the forum.
