RE: Installing a Microwave Oven Over the Range
How about building a sturdy shelf above your microwave? Extra storage or a good place for "show off" items. ... View related article.

RE: Recipe for Fried Fruit Pies
My mom made these eons ago. She rolled out cheap biscuits (10 cents per can) and put a Tbl. of apple butter in the middle, folded the biscuit over and sealed with a wet finger. Then fried in oil. Delish! It was so good I always burned my mouth on the hot pies. Great cold too! ... View related article.

RE: Making Swans from Boiled Eggs
I'm thinking maybe lettuce leaves or onion slices... well, not SLICES, but peel the onion away in layers and you'll get curved pieces that could make lovely wings. ... View related article.

RE: Weight Loss Advice for a Teen
Oooh, oooh! And bicycling, skateboarding, skating, walking in the park. Get out of the house, away from the food, take a water bottle with you, stay out until you are so tired that all you want to do is go to bed and sleep. Another good trick is to eat a small portion, probably less than you want, and wait 20 minutes to see if you really do want the rest of your helping. Showering and long baths seem to turn off the cravings for me. It would be so good if you were near the beaches, so you could be there a lot of the time. Do not eat in front of the TV. Kick that habit if you enjoy TV, etc. If you want to snack, do so only in the kitchen or dining room. Never in bed or bedroom. In fact, only eat at the table. If you have a scoop of Ice Cream, take it to the table. Dill pickle? Table. Orange? Table. Water? Drink it wherever you want to, but if it's soda, tea, etc? Table. You want to change, it's gonna have to be a big change. ... View related article.

RE: Weight Loss Advice for a Teen
I am so proud that you are making this decision at such a young age! Walk, walk, walk. It doesn't cost a thing, except a little sweat, etc., and you get good sunshine or fresh air while you do it. Swimming is another great activity, and it won't be hard on your feet, legs, etc.

Try cutting your food portions down by 1/3 as well. Eat less of the high calorie food and more of the low calorie food. Do not deprive yourself of anything! If everyone else is eating cake & ice cream, you do too! Just not an enormous portion and never eat seconds on anything. It's gonna be hard, but you can do it. I know you can! Good luck! ...

RE: Old Bottles of Suntan Lotion
Don't get rid of it! If it still smells good, use it as after bath lotion, hand lotion, etc. It may or may not still be SPF, but why waste a good source of free skin softener. And as a bonus, the smell will make you think of the pool or beach! ... View related article.

RE: Make Your Own Chain for Eyeglasses
I find the DollarTree stores carry eyeglass chains in various colors for (gasp) a dollar. Might try any dollar store you have. (I love DollarTree!!) ... View related article.
