RE: What's So Great About a Digital Camera?
I also save more money because I no longer have to print a second set to mail to grandparents. They receive a copy as soon as I post them for free. ... View related article.

RE: Drastic Times Call for Drastic Cutbacks
I would also add contact the utilities before dropping anything. We were trying to tighten the belt a bit and decided to drop call waiting. Hubby called the phone company and told them we wanted to drop caller id to save money. In the end not only did we keep caller id, but added something else that I don't even remember right now because the company had lower prices on that particular pkg than just dropping all the extras. We end up saving about $10.00 a month over our previous bills. ... View related article.

RE: Homemade Head Lice Remedy
When we were on our third round of lice in one school year, I came across this home remedy that works way better than any commercial pesticide made to treat lice.

1. Soak hair in the medicine flavor original Listerine (store brand works too). Cover with a shower cap and wait one hour. This step kills the lice.
2. Soak hair in apple cider vinegar. Cover with a shower cap and wait another hour. This step helps loosen the nits.

3. Wash as normal. During the conditioning step, use a large quantity of conditioner to cover the whole head. While conditioner is in pull the nit or flea comb through all parts of the hair (Nit comb around $10.00, flea comb $2.00 and they are the same thing pretty much).
Make sure to rinse the comb each time you pull through the hair to wash away any lice or nits that came out in the comb.
4. Pick out as many nits as possible after you finish washing. One daughter it was easier to do when her hair was damp and the other was easier when her hair was dry.

Make sure to clean all areas of the house that may be in contact with the lice. Listerine can be put in a spritz bottle and used at least once a week as a preventative as well. ... View related article.

RE: Using Goof Off on a Dryer Drum
Not exactly sure what you are trying to get out with Goof Off. If it is gum, I would use it, but clean really well afterward due to the residue. If it is crayon or pen you are trying to get off, magic eraser works really well. ... View related article.
