Toilet Ring Cleaning Technique
I do something similar, but use less toxic chemicals (and less steps). I simply pour plain white vinegar into my toilet. About a cup will do. I swish it around a bit with the brush and let it sit for 1/2 hour. Then all I have to do is swish it once more and...

Drape Christmas Lights Around Each Branch
Ive done this method for about 35 years. It works best with Noble Fir (my favorite) or Frasier Fir, as their branches are very sturdy and nicely spaced to accommodate lights and ornaments for displaying. Works equally well with artificial trees. Great technique...

CLR is poison. Just check the label. You have to wear gloves while using that stuff! Id go with just plain vinegar. Put it in a spray bottle, spray it on, let it soak in, spray again, wait for half an hour, then scrub with a stiff brush (plastic or natural...

Boosting My Energy Level?
Youre allowing your body to work on a sugar-rush. Leave the candies alone. Sugar is poison to a persons body. Did you know that cancer cells (which we all have, btw) thrive on sugar? I suggest you take vitamin B-12 for energy instead. If you need something...

Decorating Motorcycles for "Toys in Toyland" Christmas Parade?
The way I decorate my Harley for toy runs is really simple. I get garland (the fake green tree-type, not the shiny plastic type), and wrap it around my handlebars. If its too long, I get wire cutters and snip the excess off. Then I get a battery-operated light...

Beware of this, however: Do not use plywood sawdust. It has adhesives gluing that plywood together that should not be used for food prep! (or in animal bedding). Also: treated lumber is TOXIC. DO NOT USE any sawdust UNLESS its PURE WOOD: Oak, Pecan, Mesquite...

Other Uses for Mouthwash?
If youre using the Original Listerine (amber in color), put some in a spray bottle. Spray yourself when going outside, especially on your skin. Mosquitos will leave you alone! Again this has to be the original Listerine, not the flavored ones.

Bravo and Hoorah! Brilliant idea! Thank you!

 

Garden: Toilet Paper Seed Strips

Making Doll House Miniatures from Recycled Materials?
Most of the posts have been for FABRIC material. For wood materials (for the making of mini-furniture, go to your local cabinet maker. My boyfriend is a cabinet maker specializing in custom work, and has to throw out scraps of wood all the time. These leftovers...

Gabriella, Go out and get a bar of Cocoa Butter. Keep applying this to your scars. In time, theyll go away. I did this to a very serious burn I had on my thigh and you cant even tell anymore. Cocoa Butter is also natural, inexpensive and available in any pharmacy...

If these are the plain Cheerios (i.e., not sugar-coated, or honey-flavored), just mix the cereal along with his regular food. Easy, simple, and hell thank you! It seems this cereal is beneficial to many animals...fish included. My pond koi and goldfish love...
