Profile For sjackie2000 - Happy Grandma

     I'm 54 yrs. young and retired in 2000 after 30 yrs. working for General Motors.  I moved with my hubby from NY to GA after I retired.  I now work  part-time as a cashier/short-order cook at a bowling alley that I bowl at twice a week.  I am the mother of two boys (34 & 31).  The 34 yr. old gave me two beautiful granddaughters (Kaitlyn (6 yrs) and  Paula (1-1/2) who both call me Nonni.  I love to read, mostly mysteries and Stephen King is my favorite author.  I also love to do all kinds of crafts.  I have a few flower gardens on my one acre lot.  I love to bowl, golf, and play Bocce.  All of these things keep me quite busy!

RE: My Husband Has Bad Breath
Get your husband to a doctor and have him checked out! My father had this problem and his breath was worse than diarhea! He let it go for months until my mother couldn't take it any longer. She made him go to the doctor and come to find out, he had an ulcer so bad that they ended up removing 3/4 of his stomach. After the surgery, the bad breath never returned. And, by the way, he was and still is a smoker. That had nothing to do with his bad breath. ... View related article.

RE: Use Both Dryer Ball and Dryer Sheet to Prevent Static
I used to use the dryer balls too, and had problems with static cling. Then one day my dog got hold of the balls and chewed them up. So, I grabbed 3 tennis balls from my son's room and threw them in the dryer. They work like a charm! Cheaper than dryer balls, and I don't get the static cling with them. Plus, I've been using the same 3 balls for about 10 years now! You can't beat that! ... View related article.

RE: Preventing Snails in the Garden
You could put broken eggshells in your garden. Snails don't like walking (crawling) across them. Plus, they are a good source of calcium for your soil. ... View related article.

RE: Planting Marigolds for a Science Fair Project
Marigolds are very easy flowers to take care of. They don't need much work except to dead head the dried flowers. Just pick off the dead flower heads when they dry out and your plants will spread like crazy. The dead flower heads are the seeds. They will grow in almost any soil, in the shade or in full sun, and just need watering once a week unless it's very dry. My husband and I have grown our own Marigolds for years with seeds that we keep when we dead head the flowers every year. If you want to keep growing them, just put the dead flowers in a brown lunch bag and let them sit all winter. Then plant them after the last frost and you'll have flowers all summer long and into the fall! ... View related article.

RE: Fleece Stockings Pattern
Just take an old pair of socks and use them for a pattern. If they don't have a seam in them, cut them down the sides and use that as a pattern. ... View related article.

RE: Shaving Sensitive Skin
I have sensitive skin too and the best thing I've found for shaving my legs is hair conditioner! It's cheap, goes on smooth, and leaves your legs smooth with no bumps or itching afterwards. Try it...I think you'll like it. Just use the cheapest conditioner you can find. They all work the same for shaving. ... View related article.

RE: Craft: Tin Man Mania
These are cute. One of my customers at the bowling center where I work makes these but he goes a little bit further with them. He makes bird feeders out of them! ... View related article.

RE: Recipe For Rich Chocolate Brownies
I make my own Never-Fail Rich Chocolate Brownies by buying the cheapest Brownie mix I can find, usually from Aldi's. I then follow the directions on the box for the cake like brownies and add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of Hershey's chocolate syrup. My family loves these! Sometimes I add chopped walnuts, but they like them with or without the nuts. ... View related article.

RE: Link: Homemade Dryer Balls
I keep 3 tennis balls in my dryer at all times. They help keep the clothes fluffy and you don't need fabric softener sheets or even regular fabric softener. I've used the same 3 tennis balls for over a year now, and they still look like new. ... View related article.
