Vinegar For Scars And Age Spots

Natural Remedy for Anxiety?
I know each person reacts differently to medications, but I must say Zoloft worked for me. I had a problem with anxiety, mood, etc., when my husband died. I was very hesitant and told the doctor that I didnt like the idea of taking a drug for the problem. However...

Removing Viruses from a Computer (System Tool 2011)
I had that awful thing on my computer just about a week ago. It was horrible. It wouldnt even allow me to pull up my McAfee. Googled ways to get rid of it, but couldnt understand any of them. Finally, saw where someone said they used the restore point to get...

Spray Inside of Tin Foil When Baking
I use the non-stick foil and love it. Much prefer it to using a spray. For those who dont mind the sprays, your idea is a good one.
Increasing Frequency of Traffic Tickets
People who speed, run stop signs/lights, fail to use turn signals, etc., deserve the tickets they get. The concern should be safety and obeying the laws. Its pathetic to be more concerned with the financial aspect than the safety aspect.
Easy Pot Roast And Gravy
This works great in the crock pot, too. I just use a very lean roast and both soups. Meat just falls apart when done.
Pastel Jello Salads for Easter
I make Jell-O according to package instructions, and after its thickened, but before its fully jelled, I mix in some Cool Whip. I dont like mayonnaise, so this works for me, and my friends and relatives seem to really like it.

Icy Hot Adhesive Pads for Arthritis Pain?

Mention Disappointments When Eating Out
Frankly, I think most of the things you mentioned were pretty petty. Waiting five minutes for a table? No big deal. Maybe Im just not as critical. Five minutes for a coffee cup? Getting sugar from a nearby table? Not significant enough to warrant a complaint...

Ive been making this for years. In fact, just made it a week ago for a bridal shower. I do add the water chestnuts and a couple of diced green onions. I always buy a couple of loaves of unsliced French bread, cut them into bite-size chunks, and thats what we...
Your Own Single Serve Crystal Light
I agree with Donna about using the Walmart brand. Its about $2.00 for a 10-pack box. Ive been using them for a couple of years now. They are just as good as Crystal Light, and I like the convenience of the individual packs.
