How Soon to Get Fit For Dentures?
In the front the dentist put in a pre-prepared temporary partial right after they did the extractions. Apparently this method helps reduce swelling and gets you used to wearing it quicker. Eventually all swelling will be gone and a new impression is taken for...
Finding Inexpensive Spay and Neuter Clinics?
Unfortunately the one I used to take my furbabies to is no longer in existence, but I can tell you how I found it. You can contact your local Humane Society, SPCA, and shelters, and one or all of them will likely have suggestions for local help for you. They...
Getting Rid of a Perm?
First check with your stylist to see if it was actually a chemical relaxer, or one of the newer treatments that gradually wears off over time. I can tell you from personal cosmetology experience (I was a hair stylist), a chemical relaxer is permanent, the only...
Constant Scratching Noises in My Walls?
Figure out exactly where you are hearing it, then you will have to find an animal trapper to come get it out...then have your wall fixed. In my late teens there was something in the wall of my bedroom, I envision it being a squirrel; I told my parents about...
Ask for Photo ID on Credit Card
I worked at a bank for 8 years and one of the many things I learned is that a credit card is not valid unless it bears the cardholders signature. We didnt even have to accept it for ID purposes back when we required a second form of ID for certain things if...
Hot Water For Mosquito Bites
Oh I totally agree. Works for ant bites, too. And the longer you can soak the better chance the itch wont return. Even if you have to continue after you get out of the shower with a washcloth soaked in hot water, or take a slow bath instead of a shower. I remember...
Product Review: ScoopFree Automatic...
This item is wonderful in theory, not so much in practice! Its a great idea. My cats also took to it right away. It worked as it was supposed to, but as soon as my male cat figured out where the motor was in the unit, he always aimed his urine any and everywhere...
Product Review: ScoopFree Automatic...
Yeah, I am going to have to agree with you on all points on this thing. All great in theory, poor in practice. Even worse, they havent changed any, I had one of the first ones that hit the market, and had generally the exact same issues. In place of the cardboard...
Penny Table Top
Somewhere online I have seen a brief article about a couple of folks who used pennies to cover the concrete floor of an entire room. Best flooring ever! Beautiful!
Shopping for Octagon Soap?
I think I have seen it at Giant food stores, possibly at Kmart as well. It is usually in the laundry aisle instead of with other bar soaps in the personal care aisle.

It may be a little difficult to track down, but there exists a very tiny spatula with a long slender handle, specifically designed to get inside of cosmetics bottles, and inside of tubes after you cut them (theres usually some left even after you cut a tube...
Water Down Many Products
I just love how more companies are making it difficult to get the last bits out of a bottle...the last bits we paid for. More companies are putting lids on that cannot be removed, or put products in containers that cant be opened. All I can say is, dont give...
Treating Boils on the Face?
First, do not touch them, and use something disposable each time you wash them. If you touch one inadvertently, like if it itches and you scratch before you realize what you did, immediately wash your hands. The reason is, you can spread from one to other areas...
Can Meds Cause Dog to Pee More Often?
Had a pooch once who got a couple of those itchy flaky hot spots that wouldnt go away; the vet gave him steroids and I think some kind of cream or liquid. The vet said a side effect of the steroids was frequent urination. Just call the vet to be certain, though...

Rule of thumb: For a nice full balanced ruffle the ruffle fabric should be three times the measurement of the fabric it will be attached to before it is gathered. Try it that way first, you can always remove a little fabric and re-distribute the ruffles and...
Finishing the Seams on a Jersey Quilt?

Applying Topical Flea Meds on Cats
I totally agree with watching them after you apply it, I had 3 kitties and I tried it on them. They didnt lick it, but it drove them all three bonkers! I have never seen 2 cats (the other liked to be bathed) so happy to be bathed and they hated to be bathed...
Cats in Attic?
I had one, slightly crazy, cat get in the attic once. I was not going to stick my head into an attic where there was a slightly crazy cat, talking to himself in his outside voice! Animal control would not come unless we caught the cat for them. So, we found...

Low Cost Vet Care for a Cat?
Contact your local humane society and ASPCA, maybe even local shelters-if there is low cost care available they will be able to tell you where. Years ago I was adopted by a kitten, and was pretty low-income. Couldnt turn my back on my kitty so I called around...
Pouring From a Large Bottle
Hi, if you still have a can punch (the ones that make a triangular opening in the top of a can), they can be easily used for this, I use the one on my bottle opener for this. A big triangle where you pour and a tiny one opposite for air equalization.
Buying Goo Gone?
I got some recently from the Dollar Tree store. However, I have also used WD-40 with equal success, and in the past I used lighter fluid, the kind you refill a cigarette lighter with. That last one, I learned about from a beauty supply store I used to shop...
Cat Reacts Badly to Canned Food?
Try dry food instead, it is better for their teeth and gums anyway. Could be an allergy or maybe kitty gets the bubble-guts afterward and is mad at you for giving him the food? If you really want to give kitty the canned food, discuss his reactions with a veterinarian...
Duration of Shingles Symptoms?
I had it on my right tonsil, the roof of my mouth, lip, side of my nose, and my cheek-and all this was in a matter of less than 48 hours. The worst pain in my entire life. I couldnt even drink water that wasnt body temperature-cold water from the tap hurt so...
Make Your Own Memory Foam Pillows
I worked at a fabric store for a while, and we sold that foam there too, in various sizes, densities, and thicknesses. We had a reciprocating saw to cut it; when it burned out, we needed something we could use until we could receive a replacement. We found...

Dyeing a Dog's Fur Safely?
If the brand still exists, google Manic Panic and check their site. Their mascot, Daisy the dog, was pink, I think. She looked to be a Dalmatian mix. Their colors are chemical free and if I remember correctly they had dog dyeing tips as well. I cant picture...

Itchy Scalp After Coloring?

Homemade Wrinkle Reducer?
I have used a spray bottle full of water, with about a teaspoon of cider vinegar and either a couple tablespoons of ultra fabric softener or a few drops of essential oils added. Its the water that does most of the work, the oil from the softener or essential...
Styptic Powder For Wounds
Do you mean styptic powder? It is also sold on beauty and barber supply stores and the shaving section of some grocery stores. Powder is better but if you are using it only on yourself the styptic pencil is good too, you dampen the end and run it on the injury...
Keeping Overdue Bills from Going to Collections?

What issues are you having replicating Chinese food? I too love to replicate my favorite dishes, especially since there are very, very few culturally diverse eateries in my area, in fact few casual dining venues either. Whenever I find something I adore on...
Re-dyeing Hair?
You can, but its risky. Reds fade the quickest so it will be more reddish-golden after a time; if you cant wait, ask a stylist to tone it for you. They can pick something semi-permanent (and safe for color-treated hair) to tone it with, to help give you the...
Repurposing Testing Strip Tubes
If you or anyone you know eats M&M Minis, quarters do fit in those tubes. Very handy for things like laundromat etc, places you need quarters but dont want to take out your wallet or whatever.
Emergency Deodorant
Hand sanitizer works as well. Check the ingredients first though, I wouldnt recommend using one with triclosan as the active ingredient, it has recently been said triclosan isnt good. Its gel consistency is helpful in applying it, and some even come in a spray...
Freezing Cut Lemons

Removing Semi Permanent Hair Color?
