It may not help, but try brake cleaner. I've been told that it's the same(ish) chemical that dry cleaning uses and have successfully removed grease and oil stains from automotive carpet and jeans with it before.
Ammonia is also useful in breaking up oil and organic stains.
Too many people walk like ducks.
I am serious. We had a snow storm earlier this week and following foot prints in the snow shows a lot of people walk with their feet splayed out like ducks. Whatever happened to keeping your feet facing where you are going?

10-12" of snow from Sunday/Monday, work parking lot still hasn't been touched. At least by this morning enough trucks knocked down the 2' wall of crap at the entrance that I could park here (we all parked across the street yesterday).
3 of my 4 cars are AWD with snow tires and at least a small lift, most of the other people in this lot aren't as lucky.

If you're walking like a duck my guess is you haven't seen them for a decade or more.

That's a long time to not see a duck.

What if you walk into a bar without a duck? Ouch!

Hey! You got any.... Grapes?

Full strength Lestoil. Pour a little on the stain, work it in, and let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly in warm water.
Let it air dry and repeat if necessary. Don't let the Lestoil soak much more than 5 minutes each time.
I'm not sure if it's the weather or a full week back at work after tasting sweet freedom between the holidays, but my motivation has been in the toilet the last two days. I'm going to have to go back to writing out my schedule at the start of the day to get things done.
My aunt and uncle lost their house in the fire yesterday. They are safe and they have means, but I still wish there was something I could do to help. Lots of bad news out there. Stay safe everybody. Check on your people.

Yeah, I'm not sure I understand what's going on here........
Why does everything have to be so grim?
Sitting down with a scotch to try to watch something light-hearted and it seems like everything available on streaming is grim.

In my case, it's because I had the tops of my femurs pinned back together as pre-teen due to epiphysis, and had to learn to walk again. It's never stopped me from doing anything, though.
It's also a sign of flat feet, congenital defects, anterior pelvic tilt and a few other things.
Be glad you don't have any of the underlying conditions that can cause it and can keep your feet facing forward.
