RE: Red Bumps on Skin
The first thing that came to my mind was Keratosis Pilaris, but that usually occurs on the backs of your arms and thighs. But if that is the case, I've had real good luck with a body polish I purchased from Avon. ... View related article.

RE: Homemade Fishing Bait Recipes
Have you heard of zote soap? if not, its a pink bar of laundry soap. I use it it make homemade laundry detergent, others swear it makes a great catfish bait. i found these directions on how to melt it down with garlic and such.

You need to either grind up the soap, or use a cheese grater to make it fairly fine. Then add water and let it soak for a while.

Put on very low heat making sure you still have some water in it. Then add your anise and garlic, or what ever you want to it.

Keep stirring till it's mixed well, then pour contents into a plastic container that will hold all of it, and let set for a day to firm back up.

Now empty contents out on to a cutting board and proceed to cut your soap into strips about 3/4 to 1" wide. Depending on how thick your soap is, will determine if you need to turn the strips over on their side and make another cut.

I like to add garlic and bacon grease to my soap. The more oily the better for leaving a film, when you use it as bait. Catfish will follow the film it puts off, to the bait. ... View related article.

RE: Help a With Lost USPS Package

Of course they didn't do anything about it since I didn't buy insurance on it, but it still ticks me off knowing they were the last ones to see it, yet won't do anything about it! ...

RE: Dachshund Has Stopped Eating
I gave my cat baby food when she got home from the vet's and wouldn't eat. I would smear it on her nose and chin and and it would make her want to lick it off. We'd go through a half a jar at a time that way. Hope you figure something out that works. ... View related article.

RE: Looking For Quick and Easy Fudge Recipe
I heard of one a few years back that had only 2 ingredients in it, baking chips and a can of frosting. Our favorites were peppermint chips and chocolate frosting or peanut butter chips and chocolate frosting. Just melt the baking chips and stir in the frosting. That's it! ... View related article.
