Heater Not Working in 1996 Ford Ranger?
Sorry I cant help, all I can do is sympathize. I have a 2004 Ford Explorer and the heater quit working. 3 repair shops all said it will cost $1,000 to fix it because it is so inaccessible. Something about a blend door. I am so mad at Ford I will never buy another...

Getting Seeds from a Pine Cone?
It depends on the species of pine tree. Some have very small seeds, and if you are looking for the edible variety of pine nuts, I was told they only produce them every 7 years and from my experience in living among the trees, that is true. Better luck next...

Kahlua (Afghan Hound)
What a beautiful dog. You are both very blessed to have found each other. How cute about the squeeky toys, my pointer is the same way. A couple of the toys never even made it home from the store! Plush squeeky toys are best, not plastic.

Turning Water into Wine
I cant believe some of these comments. What sounds poisonous about boiled water with yeast in it? Thats how wine is made. My husband has been making wine for years, from 5 - 20 gallons at a time in plastic containers. When you go to a wine making supply shop...
Painting on Wine Glasses?
If you have more people, use assorted glasses. They dont have to match. I think similar sizes would be more important than matching paint.

Try hairspray. I dont know about a dolls face but it works on fabric.

Yes, one of my favorite crafts projects was to get different colored styrofoam trays and get a paper punch that punches holes in paper and punch as many holes in the styrofoam as you can. Then get a needle and thread or clear fishing line and thread the little...

I also have the problem of removing excess adhesive from my gums. I have to use a lot of adhesive to make up for my poor fitting dentures and cant afford new ones. First, I wipe as much as I can off with a cheap paper towel, the rougher the better. Then I suck...

Attach Solar Lights to Your Fence
For those with vinyl and metal fences, yes you can do this. Use the L bracket like Jennifer used but use the appropriate screws for metal or vinyl. Ask the guy at Home Depot or Lowes to show you which to use. For metal you may have to pre-drill a small pilot...

Cute idea! Id like to share what I did for my dog one Christmas. I cut thin strips of fleece material about a foot long, then tied the strips in a knot around her collar so it looks fluffy. Strips can be cut shorter after tying.
