Use a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol on it. Just swab those blue marks and they should come off. ... View related article. |

| RE: Is Borax Safe To Use Around Children? |
Someone was just telling me that they had used Borax just as you said for fleas. They sprinkled it all over their carpet let it set for xxx(?) came back and vacuumed it up. It killed the fleas and evidently the eggs, too. Because they never had another flea bite.
Of course I immediately thought about the warning label, but they were very satisfied w/ the results.
I can't speak as to how safe it is for your child, but maybe a call to the Borax number would be helpful.
Good luck! ... View related article. |

| RE: Problems with Neighbors Cats |
For the pee issues I do suggest a commercial repellent spray and for the smell I used Out! Stain and Odor Remover from Wal-Mart. The neighbor's cats occasionally spray and/or pee on our porch by the front door or in the flower bed by the front door and the Out! Product did seem to help w/ the odor. I really sprayed the wood siding and even the cement. It didn't completely take the smell, but did help.

| RE: Problems with Neighbors Cats |
I haven't read through the old responses yet, but wanted to clarify that cats DO poop on cement and other places without covering their waste. It's not just dogs!!! I have the same problem w/ my neighbor's cats (she has over 10). They poop anywhere and everywhere. They've pooped right next to my front door on the cement porch, they poop on our cement driveway and sidewalks. I've seen them walk away! They mess ON my flowers, not in the dirt. It's awful! Besides the diseases from their waste, we have cat allergies so don't want them in our yard.
Citrus peels haven't helped me, but I put some out anyway. I did read about sprinkling un-used coffee grounds and that did seem to discourage them for a time.
I've seriously considered buying the $50+ scarecrow that sprays water, but really hate to spend that much money on my neighbors cats!
Good luck and I look forward to reading what others have tried, not just what they've read about=-) ... View related article. |

| RE: Face Cleanser for a Teenage Boy |
A teen friend just mentioned last week how great HONEY is a clearing up pimples. She said dab natural honey (she didn't use organic or anything special, just honey)on the pimple, cover it w/ a band-aid and it'll clear it right up. Since she started using this method her skin rarely breaks out.
If fact I decided to do a quick Google before posting this advice and this hint has already been posted on ThriftyFun at this address http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf47981535.tip.html so it must work for others too=-) ... View related article. |

| RE: Dorm Room Mug Party As Ice Breaker |
This is so great! We'll be using this for a Cloverbud 4-H (ages 5-8) project. The kids are going to decorate the mugs, measure the cake mix into a baggie and attach a note w/ directions. These will make great little gifts.
Mugs should hold a minimum of 8 oz. An 8 oz. mug lets a little of the mixture run over the sides, but it didn't get on my microwave tray.
Thanks sooo much for sharing this super idea!! ... View related article. |

I'm surprised that a Post Master would tell anyone they could turn Priority Mail envelops inside out and use them. Don't do this! If you get caught (and some do) the receiver will be charged the Priority Mail rate. ... View related article. |
