| RE: Bad Smelling Baby Clothing |

Try soaking them in borax solution, then wash thoroughly in your regular detergent and rinse twice. Also, if the baby spits on you just as you're leaving the house, mix 1 tsp baking soda with two cups water and dab with a washcloth and you won't smell like "baby kisses" all day. Galey ...

| RE: Storing Beanie Babies |
|
I have heard about but not seen beanie b. storage racks constructed of 2 liter cola bottles, tops cut off, and hot glue. Stack horizontally and glue them brick style. I think two or three babies would fit in each one and you could turn the open end to the wall and cover it to discourage dust. Also, you could see your collection. ... View related article. |

| RE: Watermelon Pickles |
Here in the south, we make sweet watermelon preserves. If this is what you want, keep your rinds refrigerated until ready to use. Cut your watermelon rind into 2" wide strips crosswise and remove the green peel by laying it on its side so you are cutting down on it. Remove 99.9% of the pink flesh. Cut the prepared strips into 2" squares and place in a stainless steel roaster. (If you like lemon (I don't) add a sliced unpeeled lemon now.) If you are using a large watermelon you will need the roaster volume, plus the area to evaporate the syrup quickly. Use a fresh bag of sugar from the store (less humidity) and liberally cover the rind with the sugar; pour it on until you have about a 1" layer of just sugar. Add about 1 TBLS white karo syrup. Refrigerate overnight. The next morning the sugar will be juice; bring to a fast boil and allow to cook quickly until rind is clear and syrup thickens somewhat. The syrup will never be thick, so watch for when the rind is done. If syrup is brownish, you have cooked it too long; it doesn't ruin the flavor but you will not win prizes at the fair. lol. Ladle the rind pieces into sterilized canning jars. If you need instructions for this, get the Ball Blue Book of Canning. Pour in enough syrup to completely cover the rinds plus about 1/4". Seal jars. You can hot-water process them, but I never do. You will realize about 4-5 pints from a large melon. This is a lot of work for that amount of product, but my grown children say "this is what they eat in heaven".
If you want the kind made with vinegar, refer to the Ball Blue Book. ... View related article. |

| RE: Mud Puddle Stains on a White T-shirt |

If it's plain white, squirt it with X-14 or whatever strong bathroom cleaner you use and wash after 30 min. or so. I restored white canvas tennies that had been worn in the river this way. If you leave it on 3 or 4 days, it will make a hole; don't ask how I know. ... View related article. |

| RE: How I Went Broke Saving Money |
|
When one enters a store one is implicitly entering a contract with that store. The contract is this: the store offers merchandise for your needs and/or convenience; you pay money so the store makes a profit and therefore can continue doing business. Why would anyone feel distrustful or cheated because the store is offering this contract? ... View related article. |

| RE: Request: 30th Anniversary Gift |
As half of a couple married forty-two years, I can tell you that nothing is as important to us as our children and grandchildren. The photo albums are a great idea. Our children did this on my husband's birthday and I overheard his brothers say they wished someone would do that for them. Perhaps you could hire an amateur photographer to take a family portrait in their yard or living room, with everyone dressed in some coordinating way, i. e. one color, all white, all sports theme, all formal clothes, etc. Take lots of shots, have them printed cheaply and have the best one enlarged and frame in a garage sale frame. I think most one-hour places in drug stores will send them off and in about two weeks you can have a poster size for under thirty dollars. Another thing we would really love is a night or two at a rustic location
with everyone there and us to have no responsibilities but to play. And no cell phones. ... View related article. |
