| RE: Marker on Couch |

| RE: Getting Rid of Ants in the Kitchen |
|
Some things I learned from living in Louisiana, home of the fire ants. Ants hate the smell of cinnamon.

| Cheap Easy Fabric Softener |
|
Purchase a large bottle of your favorite fabric softner; say for maybe 3 dollars. Then pour into a fine mist bottle, mist 3-6 mists inside of the dryer before adding wet clothes. This provides for the best smelling clothes ever, no dryer sheets to look for and so on the cheap. There are six in my family, one bottle will last 3 or 4 months or more or so. Never had any problems with this and have been doing this for 6-9 years. ... View related article. |
