| RE: Dodge Caravan's Electric Windows Stopped Working |
|
I have a Town and Country van with the same issue. Turns out the weatherstripping piece around the door started to deteriorate and let water in the door when it rained. The water was what caused it to stop working. I had them fixed a while ago and can't remember the cost, so it couldn't have been too bad. ... View related article. |

| RE: Composting At An Apartment |

My MIL has a worm bucket in the basement. She just started with some soil and peat moss... it's one of the under the bed type rubbermaid totes with holes drilled in it. You have to order the worms though - the ones you dig out of the backyard aren't quite the right kind to use. She puts veggies and I think pasta in them, no meat so no smell. They make great potting soil and when she has too many worms she either gives them away to someone to start their own or uses them to feed her fish (small pond outside). If you can get away with it, the worms are the way to go! ... View related article. |

Huh, interesting. My grandpa always told me they were bitter. Never tried them and googling didn't bring up much. If your really interested, I'd try a few vegitarian and vegan cookbooks... maybe they have something. I may poke around now, to try them. Usually that part of the plant goes to the chickens :) ...

| RE: Ideas for Surplus Herbs |
How about drawer sachets? Or the rice bags you heat up and put in the micro, they would add good scents to them. This year I am in the process of growing basil and parsley to give the plant itself as a gift to reltives at xmas.
One year my aunt gave me some of her herbs and a herbal tea book with a teapot. One of my best gifts ever :) ... View related article. |

I use this site with my three year old, and it has good suggestions for books and stuff for the program - and it's free!

I soak a few cottonballs in vanilla (real stuff, not extract) and put them in a small bowl above my medicine chest in the bathroom. The scent is soft and lasts for a while. ... View related article. |

Glad I'm not the only one out there! Part of my weekly errands is to swing by the 2nd hand stores, to drop off and browse. When my son was born my husband and I decided I will stay home and take care of him instead of work, so this is the best way to save money - and I like finding one of a kind, unique and retro items you see at thrift stores! ...

Good for you! I always worry about what I have on and obsess about how it fits... even after losing 25 lbs. I just tell myself, when I go out I don't look at other people that closely, so they aren't either. ... View related article. |

| RE: Pimples on Chest and Arms |

My husband has this problem. We buy the Neutrogena body scrub and it works well. He uses it with a rougher loofa thing on a stick. It does get worse in the winter, because his skin can't breath as much with the layers he has on. Also change your sheets more often, they trap body oils and that doesn't help either. Good Luck ...
