Getting Puppy To Wear A Harness
I am having a big problem with my new boxer puppy Zeus. I have tried everything to get him to wear a collar or a harness. He freaks out throws himself into windows and trees won't eat or go potty. He refuses to do anything except lay or wallow trying to get the collar off. Now we have a harness and he is doing the same thing. I have raised a lot of dogs and never had this happen before.

Using TV As A Computer Monitor
Can I link my TV to my computer so I can watch movies I view via my high speed computer internet connection? It's a desktop computer, not a laptop, and I have a great TV and could watch movies all comfy if I could just use my TV as a monitor. Is this possible?

Toilet Tissue Holder
I am looking for a knitted pattern for a toilet tissue holder. Just the other day, I saw a handmade toilet tissue holder at a flea market but it was already sold. I tried to take a picture so that I could attempt to make one when I got home, but thought that would be tacky.

By Forever Stamps Before The Rates Go Up
Must act now. Buy US Postage "Forever" stamps before 5/12/08 when postal rates go up. The "Forever" stamps are good "forever" even when rates go above 41 cents. Even though next Monday's rate hike is only 1 cent, these "forever" stamps will be good no mater how high the rates go. Just an FYI!

Seal Lettuce In An Opaque Container
Refrigerate lettuce in a sealed, opaque container, such as Tupperware, to keep it green and crisp at least twice as long. Paper bags or black and white newsprint also works, but a container seals in moisture.

Invest In a Foodsaver
When buying food, buy bulk if possible. I splurged a little this weekend and bought a Foodsaver. It sucks the air out and seals my food so it will last longer. Then I went out and bought a lot of meat and divided it up into meals and sealed it.

Customizing Your Luggage
I have plain, black luggage, which looks like many others. To identify mine, I took acrylic craft paint, and using a stencil, painted a flower. On the larger pieces, I used the end of a dowel to put pink polka dots on them. They were easily spotted, even at a distance!
