| RE: TV Keeps Shutting Off |
Ours was a Quasar (Panasonic?) about 9-10 years old, did the same thing for a year or so then quit completely. Wouldn't turn on again. Had nothing to do with the remote because it happened when we pushed the off button on the set. We would often have to turn it off 3 or 4 times for it to take.

| RE: Tips for Growing Palms Indoors |
Thank you for mentioning palms. I think I have an Arica palm, which I repotted after 3 or 4 years (about 3 or 4 years ago). I keep it on my front porch where it gets no direct sunlight and in the winter I keep it in a spare shower, also diffused light.
Question: How did it get scale and how do I get rid of the scale?? It's on several fronds including new ones, so I don't want to cut them. Someone told me to spray it with Neem Oil which I have in "Garden Safe" Fungicide. It says it's safe for house plants, but since I've nursed this huge palm for all these years, I'm afraid it will kill my palm. Do you know what to do? I would really appreciate help from a professional.
Thanks,

| RE: Tie Plastic Refuse in Knots |
Thanks for this tip. Most of California recycles store type plastic bags, but this is great for bread wrappers and other bags that store food.

| RE: Use A Marble For The Very Last Of A Spray Bottle |
You're really smart & I feel really dumb. I have had this frustration for 56 years of housekeeping and this never occured to me. Most of the tips I've been doing for many years (like turning remotes over), but this is really the best.
Thanks you, Liz ... View related article. |

| RE: "Rescue Remedy" for Travelling With Pets |
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful "tip".
We take a 100 mile trip at least once a month (visit grandchildren) in our RV & one of our cats just cries & wimpers the entire time. We have to keep her in a carrier to keep her from climbing the curtains. This should help her to sleep on the bed with the other one.
Again thank you, Elizabeth Kent - Salinas, CA ... View related article. |

| RE: Septic Tank Care and Feeding |
Thanks for the reference to Erma Bombeck. I don't have a septic tank, but maybe some younger people will pick up one of her books. She would give me a good morning laugh after getting my 5 kids off to school.

| RE: Make Your Own Decorative Paper |
What a great and creative idea. I once and only once did similar with paint, but never considered all the options. I'm a very non-creative person and this is extremely helpful.
Thank you ever so much. Your site is terrific also.

| RE: Security Software Compatible with Windows Vista |
Norton/Symantec update cost me about $35. It is the best you can get and is worth it.

Question - do you have to sand down the rocks? This is a great idea and I have loads of collected river rocks, but they're still rough. Thank you from one who is not creative and needs ideas. Liz Kent ... View related article. |

Fogot to tell you check out your local library for videos and books with photos on Yellowstone. We did that on our first trip there in 1992. Elizabeth ... View related article. |
