| RE: Blueberry Stain on Clothing |
|
I lay the stained clothing in the kitchen sink and holding the kettle high above the stain pour a slow small stream of boiling water on the stain. Be careful. Never used vinegar. Good for berry stains. ... View related article. |

My 22 yr old daughter has been using them to sew beautiful floral retro summer dresses for herself and friends. Women stop her all the time to tell her that they love her dresses. They are one of a kind! ... View related article. |

| RE: Weight Loss Advice for a Teen |
So much great advice! I can add a bit too. I am maintaining a 35 lb weight loss for 12 years. Look in the mirror everyday at your wonderful healthy body and be thankful all the parts are there and they work. Smile at yourself and say "I love you girl just the way you are." I find I can't change by hating myself.
Repeat your new mantra " Everyday in every way I'm getting better and better." Do something for someone else who needs help and get out of your own problems. Join a club at school that you are interested in. Like- minded kids will not judge you. (And remember- "What other people think of me is none of my business".)
Check out the Oprah website regularly for lots of good info and inspiration. Change one thing at a time so you are not overwhelmed. Join Overeaters Anonymous or Alanon if you feel there is addiction or other issues in your family. The family can give us lots of baggage to deal with. We can hide in the food. The sooner you start to understand where you come from the better for you long term.
And if there are addictive aspects to your eating (and maybe other behaviours) 12 step programs help. There will be people there who understand you and you will identify with them. Great support. I belong to OA and it really has helped give me life strategies!
Finally--If you slip up with food - it's a slip not a huge failure. You are not a failure! Just go back to eat healthfully because you are worth it!
Best of luck. We all are cheering you on!!

Now I get my calcium other ways and my skin is so much clearer. I also break out in small painful white pimples when I eat eggs so I avoid them. Weird but true!! ... View related article. |

I have done this to a lot of my windows to let in all the day light and not see my neighbours (lack of privacy). It works beautifully. Follow the directions because some products shrink a bit over time. ... View related article. |

| RE: Using Pancake Mix Instead of Bisquick |
|
Ok...I was so curious after reading the posts that I used a complete pancake mix to make biscuits. I used half the water asked for to make a sticky dough. Dropped big spoonfuls on to parchment paper on a baking sheet and 10 minutes (at 400 degrees) later--biscuits. Tasted fine with butter. A keeper. ... View related article. |
