RE: Design Your Own Clothes
I also went to the local thrift stores after losing 50 pounds and going to lose 40 more. I didn't want to pay even Walmart prices for temporary clothes. I bought 12 shirts, a jacket and a sweater for under 40.00. ... View related article.

RE: Free Download for Organizing Recipes
Try this program http://www.treepad.com/treepadfreeware/ TreePad Light. You can organinze you recipes in an outline form with the recipe name on the left and the ingredients on the right pane. YOu can also put them in categories. I use another outline program that I paid for to organize recipes.

RE: Direct T.V. vs. Cable
I have DirecTV for 5 years and like it. Whenever I called customer support for the few problems, they were very helpful. The only time I lost the reception was in a very hard rainstorm and this was for only an hour or so.

RE: About Volunteering - Find Something You Enjoy
Ditto to both of above responders. I currently volunteer at a therapuetic horseback riding stable that does horseback riding for disabled people. It is so rewarding. I get to work with horses which I can't afford on my own. And I get to work physically hard which is something my daily job doesn't have.

But it's more than the work and horses, it is the internal joy I get when a student on the horses tells me "Christy, you are the best instructor I've ever had."

I've volunteered at different places in the various areas I've lived and it has ALWAYS been so satisfying.

RE: Idea For Reusing Tidy-Cat Kitty Litter Containers
I use them to store cat food when I buy the big bags of cat food. The food is protecxted from other critters and insects.

RE: A Guide To Dog Training Collars
You forgot the halti and gentle leader collars which you can find at petsmart. Here's some information on the gentle leader - http://www.gentleleader.com/pages.cfm?ID=29
It works very well especially on the pullers which both of my dogs were. But with the gentle leader, they don't pull anymore and it is easy to control them as the dog will see you as the leader. Some dogs will not like the gentle leader but they will get use to it. It is very important to make sure it fits the dogs correctly. If you ask the people/trainers at Petsmart they will help you fit it to your dog.

RE: Creative Ways To Serve Vegetables and Create Healthy Meals
If you have a food processor you can add veggies to almost anything if the veggies are diced small enough. We found that if we blended beans would could add them to spaghetti sauce and you didn't even notice them.

RE: Freezing Prepared Oatmeal?
Will the quick oats help you? If so, I eat the quick oats daily and find that just adding boiling water to the oatmeal cooks them enough for me.
