This is my homework center, I used magnetic paint to do a chore chart. I put window brackets and a long piece of wood to hold paper work/pictures. There is also: a toothbrush holder to hold dry erase markers, an Alka Seltzer box covered with streamers holds my pencil and pens, a dry erase board for keeping track of stars, (if they earn 15 stars, they get to pick a prize out of the prize box) By Moonseekerjade from Onset Contest Contender!

This is Nino, Spanish for little boy. He is 4 years old and a Yorkie-Poodle. I got Nino when he could fit into the palm of my hand. He was just a few weeks old and the ad in the paper said I was getting a purebred poodle. Whew, were they ever wrong! No curly poodle hair or long poodle ears. What a pleasant surprise my baby turned out to be! Nino is a total lap dog. He loves to be with his mamma whether it be going for a ride in the car (of course, he has to sit on my lap the entire time), sitting and literally staring at me while we're watching a movie or tv, or refusing to leave my lap while I type on the laptop (even right now...he's helping me write this). Of course, I always fall asleep and wake up with him by my side. He's simply happiest being with his mamma! I will say that Nino is not only a healthy and loved pet, but one of the happiest dogs I've ever known! I can honestly say I've never seen a dog smile so much. He wears a constant grin and always inspires me to remember how wonderful life is, especially because he's in it :) By organicals from Phoenix, AZ Contest Contender!

Build Your Own Emergency Medical Kit It's terribly important to have a medical kit in a convenient place, and I've also found that it's important to have one that's portable, so you can grab it in an emergency. The really good prepackaged kits are often awfully expensive, and I find they may not have what I want in them anyway. The cheap-ies tend not to have much in them at all, and after years of experimenting, I have a system for building my own medical kits. First, you need a portable, durable container. My main "vet bag" for animal emergencies is a large, soft sided tool bag with wheels from Harbor Frieght. I think I paid all of $12 for it. That's going to be too big for most folks, so I would recommend checking out discount stores like Walmart, Kmart or Family Dollar in the purse section. Yes, I said purse. There's a whole bunch of large purses or small backpacks made out of canvas or nylon these days that you can catch on sale or even better, clearance!, for a few dollars. You can also, of course, check out tag sales or the thrift store, just go for clean, or reasonably clean and washable. It just makes things easier if you have to respond to an emergency out in the yard, etc., f you can grab everything and carry it conveniently, instead of raiding the medicine cabinet and distributing bandaids across the grass for half a block. Next, go to the farm and ranch or pet supply store. Yep, I'm crazy, always have been. But listen. Anyone who actually works with their hands knows you can't actually keep a bandage on. Unless of course you get one of the waterproof, will-never-come-off, will-take-off-a-layer-of-skin-when-it-goes kind. I have a better way. We do construction, and I can keep a snug, safe bandage on my husband and I both with Vetrap. It's sold also as Co-Flex, and a few other names, and it started out as a bandage for racehorses. It runs around $1.50 to $2.00 per roll, and it's a darn long roll. It's a flexible, stretchy bandage kind of like the old Ace bandages, but it sticks to itself and is somewhat waterproof. And it WON'T stick to skin or hair, and you can pull or cut it off when you are done with no collateral damage. It comes in a bunch of fun colors and I like to keep a half dozen rolls on hand at all times. It also comes in a 2 inch width (great for fingers) and a 4 inch width (bigger boo boos or to immobilize a break or sprain). I recommend having both widths around. Next item: blood stopper powder. Now, when a cut is incurred, the blood flow is designed to cleanse foreign material from the cut. However, I think in this day and age of "CSI", everyone knows what it means to "bleed out". Pressure just "upstream" of the wound is great, but if you have enough damage or enough flow to prevent clotting, it can be darn helpful to have a few other ways to get it slowed down. A good dowsing with a bloodstopper powder from the vet supply (or cornstarch in a pinch), followed by a dressing or continued pressure with a clean cloth, may buy you enough time to get to the ER. Next tip: go to the bathroom cabinet. Ladies, what product lives there that's designed to absorb (blood, naturally) and does such a magnificent job? Heck, they even come wrapped up in discreet little packages to make them portable. Yep. A bandage will only hold so much, and if you have a serious "oil leak", let me tell you, a maxi pad makes a heck of a bandage. Further, in case of a puncture wound, a tampon may plug a hole. Please use some caution and have some basic knowledge of anatomy before using this tip, long enough to save a life. Plus it has a string for easy retrieval, lol! Hey, I'd rather show up at the hospital and have to explain why I've got a Tampax as body jewelry, than never be able to explain anything again. Did I mention this was a lengthy tip? Ok, back to the farm and ranch store. I have an earscope (intended for pets) in my medical kit. It's amazing how many times I have used this little guy. I have small children, and the what-will-fit-in-my-nose-ear-other-orifice game holds just as much fascination for them as for all other kids from the dawn of time. The scope is lighted and has different tips, it's the right size to prevent it from doing damage to an ear, and is ever so much better than trying to improvise with a flashlight. I believe I paid $13.00 for it, and I've replaced the batteries once in 5 years. With regards to the farm and ranch supply thing. If you don't have one in your area, or even if you do, I recommend checking out Jeffers supply. They can be found at Jeffersequine.com or Jefferspet.com. They have three different catalogs, and you will need at least the pet and the equine to find what you want. The Vetrap is in the equine catalog, and the earscope is in the pet catalog. You can also call them at 1-800-533-3377 and request actual catalogs. I have been ordering from them for probably 15 years, and they are great. They will not charge you for shipping with a minimum order (unless you order something heavy) and their customer service is awesome. I have stores in my area, but I order wormer, collars and all kinds of other stuff from them several times a year. Next: sharp scissors. Like a pair of those devious little "nail scissors" that we've probably all accidentally amputated something with in the past. Well, if you have a horrible, ragged wound (and I'm talking a minor one here, if this is going to require surgery, then you need to leave plenty for the surgeon to work with), it can be very helpful to delicately trim ruined edges of skin that will never mend correctly, less scarring. Next pair: bandage scissors. I got mine from Jeffers for just about $3 or $4, and they are very high quality. If you need to cut off some clothes or an old bandage safely, they are angled, blunt nosed and very sturdy. I haven't tried it yet, but I bet I could get through a seat belt in a few seconds, too. Forceps. No, this isn't going to turn into something Alan Alda should have had as a prop for MASH, but forceps are like long, strong tweezers, and can be great for pulling out a foreign object like a big ol' splinter where your average tweezers are just out of their depth. Please note: I am not advocating laypersons committing major medical procedures without experience. BUT, AND THIS IS A BIG BUT, if I am hurt and there is no convenient hospital or ambulance, I personally will thank any old person with some supplies to do what they can. And I have patched up animals that otherwise wouldn't have made it at least long enough to get them to the vet. Just stopping bleeding can make the difference between life and death to someone who has the misfortune to crash in your front yard. On that note, a nice first aid course is a wonderful thing to attend, and any books or laminated information cards regarding emergency medicine should be included in your kit. Of course, the thrifty way to go here is to print them yourself off the internet on card stock and laminate them...: ) A trip to the camping/sporting goods section of a discount will net you a tin foil looking packet called a "space blanket" or emergency blanket. They are inexpensive (less than $5) and indispensible. Someone who is really chilled, or in shock, needs to retain heat in order to survive, and that little shiny blanket is remarkably effective. On the same note, throwing in some candy and/or an energy bar can be pretty helpful in giving someone enough energy to safely get them out of a bad situation and to help. Ok, we're nearing the end here, thank heavens! A nice broad collection of various bandages is good. I buy quite a lot of mine at the dollar store. I can get away with that because, as previously stated, NO bandage will stay on if you actually DO anything, so I will clean and dress a wound with triple antibiotic cream, apply the appropriate bandage, then cover with a layer of Vetrap. Bingo--nearly indestructible bandage. Further, because the Vetrap is stretchy, you can use it to apply pressure to a bleeding wound. Please use a grain of common sense and don't cut off the circulation by putting it on too tight. Triple antibiotic cream. I catch it on sale and buy the store brand by the handful. There's all kinds of stuff out there, and I will sometimes make an herbal concoction for a specific problem, but for a cheap fix that works, that does the trick. Cleanser for wounds. There's of course, the diabolical old Bactine. Fortunately now you can get things that are less painful to use, but it's pretty important to have. I like to have either some heavy duty butterfly bandages, steristrips, or good, inflexible adhesive tape in there too. You may need to pull the edges of a wound together and secure it, and boy is it ever faster and less hideous to tape it than it is to stitch it! I also like to have an empty, sterile syringe or two, no needles necessary. You can fill it with clean water or wound wash and use it to flush debris from a wound that would otherwise be terribly difficult to get to. This particularly works well if someone has had a tooth pulled and gets food stuck in the hole. Clean cloths. They don't have to be fancy, although a cheap pack of white washclothes or kitchen towel works great, and you can use old clean T-shirt scraps, whatever. Just make sure they are clean, you can boil them and dry them if you want, then package them in Ziploc bags to keep them that way. In fact, I organize my other supplies, especially the bandages, in baggies to keep them easy to access and dry. So, beyond these things that I really find necessary, you can dump in anything that suits your fancy. A flashlight is always good, I like the shakey ones or the ones you crank, because when it's been sitting around unused for a while, you never have to deal with dead batteries and of course matches can be good. Add stuff as you see fit, being aware that it's always good to know how to use it. There's a wealth of information out there in this day and age, and some of the survival sites will give good ideas for emergencies, too. But the $20 dollar kit that came with your car, etc. will probably not give you actual tools to really do anything in an emergency. When it's your loved one that's injured, that's not the time to wish you'd taken time to put together something better. Take care!

Natural Treatment for Yeast Infection in Dog's Ears I took Molly (Basset Hound) to the vet because I thought she had ear mites, and I could not get rid of them. The vet told me it was yeast. She advised me to take white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide and mix 1 to 1 and clean her ears. I did, and she has not had a problem since. I still clean her ears with the same solution to keep it from reoccurring.

If you have a stopped up bathroom or kitchen sink, try this before you buy drain opener. Use your shop vac to try to clean out the drain. Hold a rag against the overflow and, if necessary, hold one wrapped around the hose end that goes against the drain. Tuck the rag tight into the drain, the drain opening is larger than the hose and you will lose suction otherwise. Turn it on and let it go! It will also safely suck all the water out of the drain, in case you do need the chemicals after all. Source: My friend Dennis and his daughter's long hair.

Dial 99 During Recorded Telemarketing Call Do you still get calls from telemarketers even though you're on the Do Not Call List? If you get a call from a recording, dial 99 while the recording is playing and then hang up. On quite a few automated systems, 99 is the code to delete your number from their database. You may have to do this a few times because they'll have more than one system making the calls. Source: Aspiesforfreedom website By New Orleans Lady from New Orleans, LA Contest Contender!

Don't throw away those empty tissue boxes, instead, store plastic grocery bags in them; one in each bathroom, near baby changing stations, in garage. For the kitchen, I use an empty wine box, (the kind that comes in a bag in a box with a spout.) This is much neater than those fabric tubes on a string, that expand to the size of giant Kielbasa sausages. By Morenrg from Austin, Texas Contest Contender!

The best way to get out all stains out of clothes, whether it is blood, chocolate, grape juice, some unknown stain, or even baby poop, is to use Oxy powder. Wet the stain with warm water, put a little Oxy on the stain (or how ever much you need for the spot) and place in a pail to soak with warm water. Soak overnight and wash with your regular laundry loads. Presto, it comes out! Plus, the oxy will help your other clothes as well. I've even taken stains out of used clothes at garage sales, etc., that people got rid of just because of some small stain. By Morbetomommy from Topeka, Kansas Contest Contender!

City Bears and Mountain Bears, Book Title I'm looking for a book about bears. The specific story involved city bears and mountain bears and a snowstorm. The city bears learned that the mountain bears were really the ones who had it all figured out since the mountain bears had been living off natural resources and simple comforts. A great book to start teaching thrifty living concepts to little ones, but for the life of me, I can't remember the title of that book. Anyone have an idea? The book would have been published in the late 70s/early 80s, I think. Thanks. By countessj from Anchorage, Alaska Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf34775380.tip.html

Rate It: We have a 3 year old Sheltie dog named Bonnie. The problem is she has bouts of really yucky, slimy-mucusy (sorry a bit gross I know) poo. She is fed the same thing each day, no scraps from the table, no dairy, no red meat as that definitely gets "things-moving". Her diet consists of chicken, veggies, and rice with a chicken and rice based dry food mixed in. Why, when she is fed the same food does she get ichy pooh? It must "burn" a bit too, as I see her scooting around on her bottom on the lawn and sometimes on our carpet. Any help would be appreciated. By hyslop from New Zealand

Rate It: Trouble Logging into AOL.com Email Account I had an AOL email account. My profile is visible, but I can't sign in. When I requested my account password, I gave my email address and then was sent information that is incorrect. I can't update, or anything. How can I get back into my account? Thank you.

Rate It: How do I clean a half leather couch/sofa without removing any of the color? Also, should I rub it with neutral shoe polish like I would do for proper leather to maintain it? By Kezza2Dub from Dubai Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf13228207.tip.html

Rate It: Fabric Softener Dispenser Won't Drain I have a Bosch Nexxt Essence Front Loader. I have odor and mildew issues that I have "sort of" been able to control. My problem now is that, although I do not use softener in my washer, the dispenser is filled with water and I can't figure out how to drain it. I am afraid it is going to get stagnant, hence yet another avenue for odor and mildew. Anyone know how I can drain it? There is nothing about it in the manual.

Rate It: Replacement for Ironing Board Pad Does anyone know what I can use to replace the pad that's under my ironing board cover? It's gotten thin on one end where I do the majority of my ironing. The cover is still in fine shape, so I'd hate to buy an entire cover and pad. By mrstock from IA Post Feedback: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf76822363.tip.html
