RE: Key Symbol Displayed on Bosch Exxcel 1600
It almost certainly means your machine is locked. (key . . . lock, get it?) On American machines you lock it by pressing a button for more than 2-3 seconds. You do it to keep your kids from messing around with the cycle once it is started. Probably someone did it accidentally. I'd try pushing each button like that and see if you can unlock it that way. ... View related article.

RE: Free Printable Grocery Coupons
I highly recommend www.afullcup.com
The ladies there are full of fantastic information on hard core bargain hunting and coupon use. There are links to the printable coupon sites (free of course) and the posters will often post about a deal and include a link to the printable coupon. You can't help but be inspired once you start reading there! ... View related article.

RE: Gray Water System
I live in Tucson too, as a new resident. My house is built on a concrete slab and I'm guessing there is no way to direct bath/laundry water out of the house to where I need it. After reading your post I'm going to see if we could at least direct the downspout water to the trees. ... View related article.

RE: Kids Removing Their Own Diapers
Four words: old-fashioned diaper pins

Put them through the disposable diaper right where you'd use them on a cloth diaper. I've never had a child get one off and I have six. You can also use it to keep the zipper on the pajamas up. You can put it through the eye of the zipper tab and pin it to one side or if your twins are especially wiley, you can put it through the little flap of fabric on one side of the zipper, then through the eye of the zipper tab, then through the other side's little flap. Don't ask why I know about this method. ;-) I have twins too, but they are seven years old.

Be sure to use old-fashioned diaper pins with the plastic head. They are almost impossible for children to remove but easy for you. ... View related article.

RE: Elevating a Dish Above the Microwave Turntable
I use a microwaveable dinner plate turned over to lift dishes up just a bit. I use it for microwave popcorn as well, to give the waves better circulation in there. ... View related article.

RE: Uses for Clothespins
I use them to close all kinds of bags--bread bags, cereal bags, chip bags, frozen veggie bags, you get the idea. I use them in the cupboard, counter, in the fridge and in the freezer. Love, love, love them! ... View related article.

RE: Softer Homemade Bread
I wonder if you are expecting bread a day or two old to still be soft? Store-bought bread usually is soft and "fresh" for a long time because of the preservatives they use, but homemade bread gets firm and dry within about 24-48 hours. If I make more than I'm going to use right away I put it in the freezer. When I take it out it's as nice as when it was fresh, minus the crunchy crust. ... View related article.
