Just a week ago or so, I spilled something greasy on my mom's microfiber chair. I immediately ran and got a hot soapy cup towel and using Dawn soap on it scrubbed it and it came right out. I used just a hot wet towel to get the soap afterwards. When it dried you couldn't see a thing. I don't know if it would work on a dried stain but it's worth a try. Dawn is good at breaking up grease (as the ads say) so I use it on anything that has oil or grease on it and shouldn't have, even clothes. Hope this helps! ... View related article.
When my son first started going to day care, he went to one called "Little Acorns", their motto was "from little acorns grow strong oaks". It's long gone but I always thought that was a neat name & motto. ... View related article.
We are in the final stages of buying a home north of Houston. Here are some things that I would suggest. Get pre approved for the loan. That way you know the max amount you can afford. Shop for a home much less than that and work your way up to your max amount if necessary.
When you're pre approved, send them anything you think may be needed such as tax returns, bank statements, DL, divorce decrees, etc. They will want to know everything about you except what color socks you wear on thursday.
When you're looking at homes be opened minded. I watched a lot of home improvement/remodeling shows to open my mind to homes with potential.
We looked at about a dozen homes that I said "I love it, but " when you find a home you can say that about without the "but..." that's the home for you. We found a home that I absolutely love with no "but..." about it! Good luck ... View related article.
I know they use to sell something that you put on their thumbs that tasted awful. You may be able to ask the pharmacy if they have something like that. Try showing her pictures of very bucked tooth people and explain to her that this is what her teeth will look like if she continues, since thumb sucking is the cause of this. Good luck. ...

it's hard to say, looks like a ground rattler maybe. Careful though it appears to have a diamond shaped head which is a good indicator of poison ... View related article.
I have my tomatoes in large containers. If you put it in a garden, make the hole deep enough to bury the root ball and stem about 3-4" from the fruit. If it did not have fruit, you would want to bury 75% of the stem leaving only 25% above ground. The stem will generate roots, the more roots the more tomatoes. Since the plant is well established with fruit I wouldn't lay it on it's side but you could. If you choose to put it in a container, make sure the container is HUGE. Roots need lots of room.
I wouldn't pick the green tomatoes if I were you, but if you choose to, slice them about 1/4" thick, scramble an egg with a fork, and put some seasoned bread crumbs on a plate. Season your tomatoes with S&P, dip both sides in the eggs then in bread crumbs. Put immediately in a hot pan with hot oil (just enough to cover the bottom of the pan) and fry till brown on both sides. Serve immediately. We like ours with a little ketchup. Enjoy!
One more thing, people will tell you you can pick a green tomato and ripen it in a window or paper bag. Don't do this! That makes a red tomato, but not a ripe tomato. A tomato turns red when it can no longer grow. If it turns red on the vine it has grown as much as it can and then uses the energy to make sugars. This is what makes the tomato sweet.
Tomatoes you get in the grocery are red tomatoes not ripe tomatoes because they are picked green and can't grow anymore so they turn red. Have you ever bought a tomato that, when you cut it, it has a grainy texture to it? That's because it's not ripe it's just red. That grainy stuff is what turns into sugar as the tomato ripens on the vine. Good luck with yours!
Oh and make sure your tomato gets full sun and lots and lots of water! Here's a pic of my 1st tomato this season! ... View related article.
