| RE: Canning Jars for Blending |
|
I have seen this on line a few times. But, I always wonder, dosen't everything fall out when you are putting the jar on or removing the jar? Or do you turn the blender & jar over before removing? Thanks for the help. Trish in CT ... View related article. |

| RE: Reusable Cotton Menstrual Pads |
Great post, Chayil. I have been using homemade menstrual/incontinence pads for about a year now. And would never want to go back to paper pads again. I only wish I had discovered this 20 years ago! I made mine from flannel & they are so comfortable. I am only 47 but have had an incontinence problem for years & my pads double for both. There is NEVER an odor, as some may suggest. I rinse the blood out in the sink using a bar soap & then soak them in a bucket until I am ready to do a load of laundry.
Since I am an avid recycler & reuser, it really seems quite natural. Anyway, thanks for posting & hopefully encouraging other women to do the same & free themselves from paper. God Bless, Trish in CT ... View related article. |

| RE: Cloth Invasion: Use Fabric instead of Paper |
I have been using cloth exclusively napkins for about 21 years now. Hankies for about six, rags for paper towels for about two years now. I am so thrilled with the lack of waste. I save threadbare rags to cleanup yucky messes like cat barf & just throw them away, they have well served their purpose.
I am so happy to see others doing this as well. It may be a small thing to do for the environment but they all add up.

| RE: Maytag Neptune Stopped Spinning |
I had the same machine...nothing but trouble. I spent more on repairs, I wish I had just dumped it after the first repair. Out first Maytag was 18 years old before we replaced it. When we bought the Neptune the salesperson said don't expect more than 10 years out of it, we got six. Now we have a Bosch, a really nice machine.
You may have to bite the bullet & take a loss in repairs & invest in a new one.

| RE: White Film On Dishes |
I have tried a similar mixture, borax & baking soda, with a vinegar rinse in leu of dish washer detergent, but came up with the same results. Cloudy dishes. Dish washer detergent contains phosphates, so that is why I tried a home version, trying to be kinder to the environment. So far I have not found a combo that leave the dishes without a film. Sigh...so I am back to Electrosol, it works great for dishes but not so great for the earth.

| RE: Minced Garlic vs. Fresh |
Since I grow garlic in my garden, I generally use fresh. I have used the jar garlic, but don't find the taste to be as yummy as fresh.
Try growing your own, it is easier than you could imagine.

| RE: Use a Can for Filling Freezer Bags |
My mom always says, "Necessity is the mother of invention." And this is proof of it :-) Thank God my mom taught me how to think out of the box like this.
Thanks for the tip! I can sure use this when filling my vacuum sealer bags.
Have a great day!
