| RE: Cleaning a Porcelain Sink |
|
I live in an area with hard water and my sinks and toilet bowls become yellowed without regular care. I use Polident denture cleaner for my sinks and toilet bowls. Two tablets does the trick. I let the cleaner and water sit overnight and by morning, all is bright white again. ... View related article. |

| RE: Cat with Hairballs |
|
Our longhaired cat had an awful time with hairballs and the vet suggested mixing 1/4 teaspoon of mineral oil into his dry food with every feeding. Bert (the cat) didn't like the oil on his food at first, but when he was hungry enough he ate it and got used to it. The mineral oil worked. ... View related article. |

| RE: Stopping Leg Cramps |

My husband used to take calcium pills for leg cramps but then our doctor suggested that he take 2 or 3 Tums tablets daily. Tums have calcium in them and they're a lot cheaper than buying calcium pills at the drugstore. ... View related article. |

Are you talking about a crib comforter, right? If so, it won't be big, bulky or heavy and two-sided tape will do the trick. Otherwise, I'd look at tacking decorative upholstery type nails through the blanket and into the wall. Congrats with your new baby! ... View related article. |

| RE: Recipes for "Canned" Cream Soups |
Here's an easy, nutritious and fairly cheap chowder recipe that I make on Fridays when we eat fish. Boil 2 or 3 med size potatoes, drain and mash.
Add 1 can Campbell's cream of asparagus, celery or broccoli soup, 1 can of milk, 1 tbsp butter and 1 can of crabmeat or tuna including the water it was canned in. Add salt and pepper to your own taste and preference.
Simmer 5 or 6 minutes and you're done. A hearty side salad goes well with this, especially one made with tomatoes, finely chopped onion, fresh parsley and a bit of chopped anchovies. If you try this and like it, it would be fun if you let me know.
