If I didn't know that you don't drink, I'd wonder how many you had to make you spill. wink.

Jan Allison

Trust you to put a humorous spin on this prompt. love it, Jan!

Jan Allison

I wrote several lines Agnes but none of them seemed suitable then I thought of this one which sort of fits the contest theme with the ending being positive after the disaster:-) hugs jan xx

Nicely done, Jan, I didn't know salt could remove stains. good luck. ~*

Jan Allison
Date: 6/15/2017 3:35:00 PM

Hey that's great to know Agnes ... and a lot cheaper and better than wasting a good bottle of white wine... CHEERS:-) hugs Jan xx

Agnes Krampe

It works, indeed. Red wine spilled at our housewarming party on the cream carpet, friend went home to get box of salt, and voila, no stain!

Jan Allison
Date: 6/15/2017 1:35:00 PM

I'm told salt or white wine on red wine stains does the trick - but of course the best thing is not to spill it in the first place!:-) hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan , '' great write so salt is the answer to red wine lol:))))hugs

Jan Allison
Date: 6/15/2017 12:41:00 PM

I'm reliably informed that salt or white wine can get rid of the stain - now who would waste a good Chardonnay when salt would do - that said I rarely drink alcohol so I wouldn't have to try it :-) hugs Jan xx
