Worms in the Rice and Moths in the Cupboard?
Once you clean out anything that you can tell is infested, you can buy cardboard traps (the ones I have seen have the words Pantry Pest prominently on the label), which you can place inconspicuously in your pantry to draw in any stragglers. I get these periodically...
Problems With First Garden?
How did you prepare the soil? It may be a soil ph problem. If you can get the ph tested (there are kits available at garden centers), you can adjust the acidity or alkalinity with safe ingredients. If you add organic matter (compost), make sure it is fully...
Choosing a Cellphone for Your Child?
I also vote for Tracfone. It is probably the only way you will truly have control over how he uses it. As little as you expect him to use it, you can get a phone for ten to twenty dollars, and add sixty minutes every 3 months for 19.99. And if you check the...

Easy to Manage Hair Styles for Young Girls?

I think theyre slow to mature. I believe it may be several more years before ti will bloom, depending on how old the vine was when you planted it. Worth the wait, though!
Ground Hog Deterrent?
If you are home a lot, I wonder if harassing them like crazy would work? Dropping mothballs down their hole; and dropping a (lit) firecracker down the hole every chance you get, running the hose down their hole, and so on. You might call the PA Game Commission...
Food Ideas for a Reception for 100 on a Budget?
I also agree that you do not need to have a meal at a reception; however, if it is what you want, then there are a lot of possibilities. Pasta can be a good budget stretcher. You could do a pasta bar, with several types (shapes) of cooked pasta, a small variety...
Ideas for Daughter's 13th Birthday Party?
You could also call a local beauty school and find some cosmetology students you could pay to come give manicures or pedicures or facials and makeup. You might even be able to arrange to have the party at their lab and then take the girls for lunch somewhere...
Herbicide for Flower and Shrub Beds?

Leaves on Watermelons Turning White?
It sounds like sunburn. If you did not acclimate the plants to the sun, and planted them directly in the sun, the leaves can suffer. Luckily, the plants should recover. You can always rig up a little sun shade for them (like a tent) for a few days, if they...
Converting Weight Watchers Exchange System to Points?

Can I Use a Dehumidifier With Air Conditioner to Help Cool My House?
Dehumidifyers use a lot of electricity, and throw off a bit of heat of their own, so I am not sure it would help you. A fan to circulate the air in the room you are in would be much more efficient. Some things that can help: Close the curtains and pull down...
Recipes for When It's Hard to Chew?
If you can spare 12 or 14 dollars (maybe less), get a baby food mill. You put what youve cooked into it, then as you push down and turn the handle, it is ground and comes up. That way, you could get the flavor you crave without the potential hard chew. If you...

My Frugal Life: My Iron Claw Bathtub

I like to put a dish of water with some cloves, cinnamon, and an orange or lemon slice (or two) inside and microwave it for 3 minutes. Then, while it is still warm and steamy inside, I wipe it out, the steam will loosen the gook. (Repeat the process, if necessary...
Pasta Sauce Keeps Burning?
If you have a slow cooker (crock pot), you could try it in there; it will certainly take longer; but no chance of scorching! If you have an electric stove (as I do), it is harder to control the lower heat settings. I cannot use a heat diffuser on mine (flat...

Mine are scarce in the summer, too. They find other food sources (which are abundant now), and are busy raising families. Theyll be back.

Sealing Home-printed Photo Magnets?
I have used acrylic spray to seal printer ink, so that I could use print-outs for decoupage. If possible, ask your daughter to print out something (color) on plain paper so you can test the spray. Once you spray and let it dry, you could seal them further with...

Removing Sharpie from Quartz Counter Top?
If you are allowed to use rubbing alchohol on the surface, that should get it off. A magic eraser will, too; but follow the manufacturers directives as to whether it will dull the shine. (It shouldnt with a quick, not-too-hard rub?)
Strawberries with Sour Cream and Brown Sugar
We used to do this, as well, at the height of the strawberry season. Nothing like sitting on the patio after a summer cook-out, and enjoying this treat! I have not done this since leaving home; guess its time! Thanks for the reminder!
My Rose Bush is Not Blooming?
I have rose bushes with long canes; and they dont bloom until a little later in the season. That said, I never hesitate to prune them back. I would not give up on the idea of flowers until you give it some more time this season. Some bushes bloom all summer...

How Can You Save Money on Your Electric Bill?

How Do I Remove Cat Urine Odor from Mesh Running Shoes?

You are best to go to a person who specializes in appraising stringed instruments. It might cost a few dollars, but you should know its value for insurance purposes. Unfortunately, it is most likely not a real Stradivarious, but still may be worth a fair bit...
Can I Use Catnip in Place of Mint When Cooking?
Feel the stems of the plant. If theyre square, it is a mint. There is a mint called catmint that often grows wild and in great abundance. If it is a mint, it would be worth trying on a small scale.
Can I Use Catnip in Place of Mint When Cooking?
That may be, Nellie. We used to have both in our yard, though, and our catnip didnt have the square stems but we didnt plant it, so were only going by what the neighbor told us (as far as it being true catnip). My dads cats loved the catmint, though; I used...

If youre looking to cut calories from treats; try him with baby carrots. I suspect the ff cheese would be OK, but why not stay a little more natural?

What Are These Insect Towers?
My first suggestion was going to be termites, as well. Great idea, mrs.story, to contact the extension office!

I would not do that! The sugar provides calories for energy, and stevia is popular with humans as it is so low calorie. Also, it may not be metabolized safely by the hummers. Stick with ordinary table sugar.
Growing Tomatoes in Containers?
Yes, you dont want the plants to sit in water, so you will want holes in the sides at the bottoms of the buckets. They dont need to be big holes; if they seem to clog, you can poke a wire (from a clotheshanger) in to open it back up. I use a power drill, but...
Choosing the Right Bra?
Your best bet is to go to a store that will give you a fitting. Most of us wear the wrong size! (And just because you get a fitting, doesnt mean you are obligated to buy bras there.) If you dont have a ladies shop in your area that does that, the lady with...

Where do you live? (Country, and region, if it is a big one.)
What Kind of Animal Could Have Gotten Into My Cellar?
If you are in the US, I bet you have an opposum, and it may or may not be dead. (Sometimes their fur looks prickly--and obviously youre not going to touch it to find out!) They will curl up and play dead if they feel threatened.
What Kind of Animal Could Have Gotten Into My Cellar?
That is why I wondered where she was. In the US we dont have hedgehogs; but the only other actually prickly animal here is a porcupine, but theyre brown, and dont generally work their way into homes. I hope we get an answer, I am quite curious as to what it...
What Kind of Animal Could Have Gotten Into My Cellar?
Birds will sometimes fall into a chimney, and escape into the home (since they cant fly out of a chimney). They can make a terrific mess trying to get out; and an owl, having an extra strong beak and talons, could sure make more than a songbird. Poor little...
Sugar Free French Vanilla Liquid Dairy Creamer?
No; I dont think so; but I suspect if you got evaporated milk, you could use some artificial sweetener, vanilla, and maybe a touch of caramel flavoring to make it. You can even get reduced fat, or fat free evaporated milk.

You might be able to adapt some of these recipes: http://www.budget101.com/frugal/beverage-mixes-167/
Dog Bed for a Dog That Chews?
Would something like this work? http://www.columbusdogconnection.com/elevated_dog_beds.htm
Measuring Oil as a Substitute for Shortening?
I believe they would substitute the same, as far as measure; BUT you wont necessarily get the same result with whatever youre cooking! Certainly worth a try, unless you need to be sure your food comes out PERFECT for some reason. If youre baking, it might be...
Growing Roses Indoors?
I have never had luck indoors, either; though I would try with the mini roses every so often. Last time I bought a mini rose, I planted it outdoors immediately; and it thrived! I have added more, and will be adding more this summer for a mini rose garden! I...

I suspect you have more of a callous or discoloration, because if youd burned yourself so badly as to create a scar, I think you would never be careless again with the flat iron! Go into your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist (not one of the assistants...
Organizing Clothes That Can Be Worn Again Before Washing?
You can also get a bar that hangs on the door, but sticks out a good foot or two. You could get some red hangers and use them only for items that have been worn, and hang them on the door on a bar. That way they can air. You could even give them a shot of Febreeze...

Reviews of Synthetic Potty Grass for Dogs?
I had a friend with a very small dog who simply used a litter box, and lined it with the blue puppy pads instead of litter. Another friend actually uses a cat litter box (with litter) for her small dog (Maltese). A question I have about the grass ones: can...

Can I Prevent Sugar Gum Tree from Growing Seed Balls?

Finding an Inexpensive Hall for a 1st Birthday Party?
Why would you need a hall? No 12 month old child needs a gala! He/she will not appreciate it, nor remember it. They get overstimulated, eat cake and throw up. Enjoy a small, at home gathering with family or a few close friends. If your family (or both sides...

Why Are Some Seeds Only Planted When Weather Warms Up?

Eating After Getting New Dentures?
If you go to Babies R Us, or Target, you can buy a baby food mill, you put food in, and (as you press down) you turn a crank and it mills the food to a soft consistency. You can mill whatever you cook, it cleans up easy as can be, and costs about twelve dollars...
Getting Smell out of Couch Cushions?

Can You Drink the Water Used to Boil Eggs?
I cannot imagine that it is unsafe, any bacteria should have been killed, and I dont think there is anything in the shells of untreated eggs that could be rendered out and unhealthy; just not tasty. I always add salt or vinegar to the water, so that would make...

How Can I Make Wax More Flexible for a Design Project?
I know the wax they use in heat therapy is paraffin with mineral oil, which keeps it softer. But, I dont know how that might affect your mounting it, if you plan on using adhesive. You might try it with a small amount of wax. I am not sure of proportions, you...
Bleach Stains on Jeans?

Remedy for Puffy Eyes?
I get the same thing if Ive been crying. Sometimes ice does the trick; so does laying with wet teabags on them for a while. (I think it is the tannic acid in them.) If people ask, I used to be able to sell them we were using the grill last night; and used lighter...
What to Do About a Tooth Sensitive to Hot and Cold?

Crystallized and Hard Honey?
First, you may want to save some out--I love crystallized honey as a spread. It wont drip from toast or sandwiches like liquid honey does. Then, simply warm the remainder. You can use the microwave, or sit the jar in hot water, and stir periodically. It may...
