RE: Why Chew a Whole Piece of Gum?
I've been doing this for years to the point where chewing a whole piece just seems like to much! A little bit is all you need, plus you are rarely caught chomping on it like a cow chewing her cud, because chomping is just no longer necessary. Thanks for sharing! It's always good to know that there are others out there who do the same (=

RE: Helpful Coupon Tip
I was just clipping coupons and had the same thought. It seemed like such a waste to just throw away a $1 coupon, so I figured I would clip it and leave it near the product for someone else to use, since I was going to be in the store anyway. (=

RE: Loom Knitting Patterns For Dog Sweaters
thanks for the links! I just completed my second dog sweater (my first had quite a few issues!!!!) and I think it's great! Granted it's not perfect and I still have a lot to learn, but this just proves that even a beginner can make their dog a sweater! ... View related article.

RE: Buying a Used Digital Camera
I used to have an Olympus C-740 that I absolutely loved and was always getting compliments on the resulting pictures. I gave it to my mom and sometimes I wish I hadn't! Great camera. It was 'only' a 3 MP camera, but if you are just taking pics for eBay, it doesn't really matter. I think the whole megapixel count is a bit overrated, anyway.

Canon is most likely a safe choice as well. My better half still uses our Canon A10- a 1.2MP camera! He likes it because it's easy and durable, though a later model with more megapixels would be better for you.

The problem with Olympus and Fuji is that they take xD cards, which tend to be expensive. If you went that route, a card included in the auction would be nice!

Not that I'm too keen on the eBay idea...it's too easy to get carried away and bid too much! I'd certainly compare the prices online first, not too mention check out the clearance sections of stores near you. I recently bought another Olympus (an FE-something or other....4MP) at Sears brand new for $34!!! You can also keep an eye on the Slickdeals.net forums for good camera deals.

Oh, whatever you decide, just be cautious of camera makers (I think Sony is one) that use only proprietary batteries. I like Olympus and Canon because you can usually use rechargeable AA's in them. (I say 'usually' because my experience is limited to the camera's I've owned).

Good luck! ... View related article.

RE: Cleaning Coins
i swear when i was a kid i used to use some sort of combination of vinegar and salt to clean pennies (letting them soak in it). i've also heard some rumors that soaking the coins in coca-cola will work too, but i've yet to try that. ... View related article.
