RE: Colorful Plants for Containers
Hi Marnita,

You're probably looking for tall plants that are visible from the road, but if short ones will do, I would suggest Hosta. They come in all kinds of shades and variagations, and they do well in the shade. Just make sure to give them plenty of water.

Good lluck!

RE: Wetting the Bed
Hi Jo,
I have a teenage daughter on some heavy medication for other ailments that make her incontinent at night. She takes Desmopressin (which is generic for DDAVP and don't ask me what that stands for!) It is a mild diuretic and works like a charm.

However, I would recommend trying a homeopathic doctor for this problem. My daughter has had terrible nausea, and the homeopathic doctor gave her little pellets of hellebore to take and it's completely cured her. I'm going to have him prescribe something for the incontinence, too, and see what he comes up with.

Good luck!

RE: Jewelry Cleaning
Hi Lee-Ann,

The best jewelry cleaner I have found that is gentle and completely removes scum and dirt is Woolite or Delicare (the cold water fabric soaking liquids.)

I use a tiny bit of the Woolite or Delicare diluted in water, and scrub the ring, necklace, etc. with a combination of a Q-tip and an old, used toothbrush, making sure to get in all the crevasses and corners. It works like a charm every time, and leaves the jewelry clean and shiny without any scum.

Good luck!

RE: Looking for the Name of a Plant
It sounds like Jasmine. Are the leaves shiny and evergreen? Your County Agricultural Extension Agent would be able to identify it correctly for you if you bring a sample to him or her.

Good luck! It sounds wonderful.

RE: Wait a Week to Use Your Coupons
Hi Odi,
Do you send to specific people or to a general address? If so, what is that general address to send coupons to military families overseas?

Thanks,

RE: Baking Soda as a Skin Softener
Hi Michelle,
How do you use it? Do you only let it dissolve in the bathwater, or can you sprinkle it on your washcloth in the shower to use directly on your skin?
Thanks,

RE: Cover the Gray with Tea!
Hi Starla,

I brew a very strong mug of black (regular) tea with 2 or 3 tea bags. After it cools, I comb as much as I need into my hair after I shampoo in the morning. I have found that it covers better if I dry my hair first, then comb the tea in. If you comb it in when your hair is still wet from the shampoo, you won't get as good coverage, and you'll get all that brown color on your bath towel.

You can store the unused tea for the next day or two, but don't keep it past a week, or it will begin to get moldy! I would advise brewing small amounts at a time.

Good luck!
