so i have this ... e-hem... friend.
she's not so bright.

she is in the middle of studying for a huge exam - something to do with a phd - who knows what that is all about.

Anyway, this... friend, has a setup in her living room where all of her papers - notes from past courses, new notes, books upon books, are spread out across a full sized couch and adjacent oversized chair and leg rest. it's one big "l" of papers.

the other night, she was studying late - as always... the next evening, after work, she plopped down in her usual spot - to study some more. she noticed next to her lay a highlighter.

an orange highlighter.

to her dismay, she realized the cap was off and the tip had made contact with the fabric of the couch... osmosis at work.

perhaps there were notes on the couch that needed recognition. perhaps the middle portion of the couch itself was feeling bland and in need of highlights. but... crap.

in short, there was a lovely bright orange stain on her super cool, soft micro-fiber brown couch.

DEAD CENTER.

she tried and tried to remove the stain - to soak up the ink with water and seltzer.... but alas, much ink was pulled from the fabric yet...the stain persists.

so now what? a friend suggests rubbing alcohol as a possible remedy. however she has read this may (or may not) discolor said couch.

should she try it?

let me know so i can pass it on to my friend. and oh yea, if anyone has an orange highlighter to spare, mine mysteriously dried out.

thanks.
