Garnishing a Student Loan Refund for Child Support?
Yep. Any kind of refund can be attached. Depending on how far in arrears someone is, their licenses can also be held - drivers license, any professional license (Realtor, doctor, dentist, etc.).
Pyracantha Shrubs Not Producing Berries?
I would be so thankful not to have the berries! Birds like to eat them, esp when they have fermented a bit, and the birds then fly into the side of the house, very drunk. I am allergic to the pollen, so that might have a little bit to do with why I dislike...
Fleece Stockings Pattern?
There is a pattern company that makes patterns for fleece everything - green pepper or something like that. They are usually on the wall, not in the pattern drawers, in the fabric shops. I made some fleece socks for myself last winter - they were great!
Thorny Shrubs in Garden?
Have you tried RoundUp yet? RoundUp will kill the entire plant, roots and all. It sounds like this invader is coming up from roots, or seeding from a neighborhood parent plant. If it is a root-volunteer, RoundUp may well help. If it is a seedling, you should...
Inexpensive Church Mother's Day Project Ideas?
Have you ever tried making duct tape rose buds? If you google it, there are bunches of sites with videos and directions. With duct tape coming in so many colors, you can make them by the dozens. All you will need is duct tape of whatever colors, green duct...
Removing Smoke Odor from Leather Boots?
You might also try putting activated charcoal (aquarium supply/pet store) or charcoal briquettes in an old sock - rubber band or tie the toe, and put it in each boot. If the weather permits, putting them outside with the charcoal in the boots may also help...
Saving Money on Socks
I buy both kids socks in the boys department - somehow boys socks last longer than girls socks! I also put initials on every sock as it comes out of the bag! My sons foot sweat EATS his socks like acid, and my daughter doesnt like to wear his stretched out...
Mark Back of Drawers When Moving
I did the same, but with chalk works wonders, especially when you are tired.
Making Basket Stuffing
Be sure you have the pinking shears dedicated to paper only or you will regret it the next time you try to pink fabric!
Fabric Christmas Bags For Green Gift Wrapping
I do similar with baby blankets - the inside blanket is fleece, wrapped in a flannel blanket, diaper style. Always a hit at baby showers!
Uses for Shower Curtain Rings?
I use the metal (pear shaped) ones to clip onto my camping coffee mug, and anything else Id rather not lose... these make the new caribiners (sp?) that you can buy redundant. They do get kind of gunky, but usually clean off with a little soap and water and...
Opening a Can of Soup
Please be VERY careful with the pull-top cans! I am recovering from a badly cut thumb from that SUPER sharp edge! Yes, rinse the tops first, and shake the cans or store them upside down are both good ideas.
Blood on a Nylon Shower Curtain?
You might also try household ammonia. Shouldnt bleach the curtain but will often take bloodstains out.
Keeping Cats Off My Fence?
I was going to suggest bird goo - the silicone caulk that stays sticky when it dries - and then I saw that you have a plant growing up to the top of the fence. The goo might work on a naked fence though. Water gun or hose with a good strong stream of water...
Removing Packaging From Toys Before Wrapping Them
As a single parent, I also appreciate having the batteries already installed when the gift is unwrapped! I try to remember to do this for my grand-nephews and nieces.
