| RE: Cat With Fleas |
|
I have 4 cats and have had a problem big time with fleas this year. I found that using natural remedies are far more better than poisoning our cats with flea stuff..I use Diatomaceous Earth food grade. It can be sprinkled in their food, put on the beds where they sleep, and even on the floors..you can find it in farm stores, or anywhere they sell things like this. Check around and see where it is sold near you...It works! and will not harm the cats...Barb ... View related article. |

| RE: Make Cloth Bags Out of Old Pillowcases |
|
You do have a great idea that some of us has caught on to. I use mine to wrap my silver trays,etc. in. There are so many uses for these bags..and you can also pick them up for pennies at yard sales, and do your own thing, and as Manon from Netherlands showed what they look like as curtains. They're so nice if you get the ones with lace or frilly edges, too. ... View related article. |

| RE: Sweet Pastry |
|
This sounds really great. I have one question, in the directions you say to "rub in the butter". Does that mean to rub the butter on the sides of the bowl, and how long do I bake this beautiful pastry? Really anxious to try this. Thanks Barb ... View related article. |

| RE: Measure Ahead of Time |
|
I also have done this. I always gather everything together to make sure I have what I need, then measure and set aside in order to be used. It's so much easier especially if you get distracted and have to remember what you've put in or not. The only thing that saved me one time was counting the empty egg shells so I know how many I put in. Now I set that many aside and put the rest away. Very good tip. Barb ... View related article. |

| RE: Ask For What You Are Looking For At Garage Sales |
|
I have done this. I was looking for a computer chair at yard sales, looked around and didn't see any, so at the last one, I just asked. Her husband went in the house and sold me the one he had for $10.00. Sometimes it's something that they never thought of putting out. ... View related article. |

This is a great idea. I use my empty Parmesan cheese jars for powdered coffee creamer by my coffee pot and another one for the sugar. Thank you for the baking soda idea, especially the facial scrub one. ... View related article. |

I have done this and it is awesome to see them hanging. The air hits them and they move around. I also used smaller paper and made mini ornaments. You can also lightly spray them and glue glitter on. Thanks for sharing your craft. ... View related article. |

| RE: Smoke Odors in My Apartment from Neighbors |
|
As a smoker, I know you must be considerate of others. I keep buckets with kitty litter in it for ashes and butts and make sure they are used, and I burn odor absorbing candles when I or others with me do smoke. It is a really bad smell and it sticks to everything. I've never had that many smoking at one time. If you have that many, you need to go out in the woods. You can sometimes control where the smoke goes unless it's windy. But just tossing butts all over the place is just being lazy and careless much less disgusting. You need to report those violations to your management. ... View related article. |

| RE: Proper Use of Apostrophe |

If in doubt, you could reword it saying, "the 50th Wedding Anniversary of our parents." It really irks me when people put the apostrophe in the wrong place or overuse it. ... View related article. |
