Profile For spesialangel -

Hi Im a happily married lady of 57 years old. Together we have 4 children and 4 grandchildren. Im working as a charge nurse in a nursing home here in town. I love my extended family there too.  My other family includes Miss Tippy Toes who is a 2 year old Dachshund, Australian Shepherd mix who talks to me all the time. She has been with us since she was 10 weeks old.  She is very verbal. At times it sounds like she says Come on Mama. Also present and accounted for is Mr. Whiskers Dooly.  He is a very cute little guy who is also Dachshund mix but with terrier.  I inherited him when he was 7 weeks old from one of my grandsons who could no longer keep him. When I got him his name was Porkchop......well that had to go He developed chin whiskers....thus his name and the Dooly just happened because of his personality. He is most loving and hates to hear his "Daddy" sing. If my husband sings to him first he jumps up on him and licks him on the lips and if he doesnt stop then Dooly covers Daddys mouth with his neck. It is very funny to see. My husband is with then all the time as he is on disability retirement. We found he had prostate cancer and had the prostate removed. During that time his kidneys shutdown and during a scan to check the plumbing hookup we discovered by accident a large cancer in his right kidney. The kidney also had to be removed. He got so depressed he was no longer able to work. He has taken over role of housewife and I work. This is working out great and he is doing so much better.

I very much enjoy the Thrifty emails I receive. I hope they continue for a long time.

RE: Furniture Polish For Cleaning Silk Plants
I always wash my silk flowers. If they are in a secure arrangement I put soapy water in the sink and turn them upside down and swish around then rinse and blot with a towel and then if able to sit outside to dry. They look like brand new and I have a feeling the furniture polish will build up on them as someone else said. If they are nicotine stained from someone smoking this even cleans up with the soapy water. ... View related article.

RE: Seashell Craft Ideas
here are so many things you can do but a couple are as follows:
Glue them around a peice of plastic or plexi-glass that is the size of a large candle you like to use to make a candle ring.
You can glue them around a mirror the size needed to make a perfume or makeup tray.
Glue them around a flower pot to make it decorative.
I hope this gives you some ideas to go from.
Have fun. ... View related article.

RE: Recipes Using Potato Flakes
A friend showed me this trick...she is a chef...When using instant potatoes and we use the potato buds...use about a tablespoon of mayonaise in them. I use that much is the 4 serving amount. There is something about the mayo that makes them taste like the real thing. Hope you enjoy! ... View related article.

RE: Gardenia Not Blooming
Thank all of you for your replies....at the present time my Gardenia has several buds on it a few of which are about to open.....I guess I needed patience and I also read they bloom in spring and fall. I suppose I had gotten mine after a blooming and now its time for the next one. I would love to have one that lives outside in the ground but havent seen one for sale as of yet.
Again thanx for the repsonses.

RE: Stain Pretreater for Colorfast Fabrics
Be very careful with this as it will remove the color from clothing. I use it all the time on whites but had it ruin a green towel. ... View related article.

RE: Using Puppy Pads for Training
You can buy people pads at places like Sams much much cheaper than the puppy pads. Not only are they cheaper they are larger and seem more absorbent. A box of 120 is something like $25. here. ... View related article.

RE: My Head Sweats a Lot
I have the same problem. I too am a type II diabetic but this was going on long before I developed diabetes. Other people can be high and dry and the sweat will be running down my face from my hair and face. The rest of me is perfectly dry. It is often embarrassing to be the only one dripping. I wake up at times with my hair wet and its not really hot. This is basically the only place I perspire unless of course Im working outside or in a very hot place. That surgery is not an option for me either. Im a nurse but knew of no one else with the problem I had. My husband suggested maybe it was a medication I was taking ....but again was going on before that. Sorry others have the problem but is comforting to know Im not alone with it.

RE: Crocheted Christmas Angels
I love your angels. I collect angels and would love to have a couple of those but Lord knows I cant crochet anything but a straight chain and I would never be able to do those. Plus my hands would not allow me to do that for any time before they cramped up. But, again, your angels are lovely ... View related article.

RE: Encouraging Kids to Eat Fruits and Vegetables
You can also add carrots the potatoes you are cooking for mashed potatoes and just fix as usual. Kids seem to like having the orange mashed potatoes and dont realize the reason is the cooked in carrots. Mine liked that as well as my grandchildren. ... View related article.
