| RE: Use Baking Soda for Wet Electronics |
|
When my phone went through the washer I used a hair dryer on it. I took the back cover and battery out and held the blow dryer on it for quite a while. When I finally got tired of holding the dryer, I put the phone on top of my floor vent (heat) and left it there for 24-36 hours. The phone worked fine after that. I was told that the inside might develop rust and go out, but it was working fine when I upgraded to a newer model. ... View related article. |

| RE: Stop Temper Tantrums with Gentle Restraint |
|
I usually don't post to disagree with anyone, but feel that I should give a little warning here. My child has tourettes syndrome. She was in a lot of pain with a chronic ear ache as a small child which complicated matters.

We took her out of public school after this incident. (At the time she had not been diagnosed with tourettes.)

It smoothed my forehead too, I had some worry lines there. If it is compatible with your med. maybe it could help you. Good luck, Lori ... View related article. |

| RE: Maytag Oven Not Getting Hot |
|

My hubby turned the electricity off at the breaker box and then tightened the wiring inside the outlet. Worked like a charm. My oven is heating properly again. Don't assume your element is out without testing things first. ... View related article. |
