Bugs With Split In The End?
It does sound like you have earwigs. They love moist dark areas. Check around outside if you have layers of old dead leaves they are probably breeding outside and sneaking inside to the moist areas in your house. I agree with the other poster about the danger...
Keeping Fire Ants Out of Potted Plants
I use epsom salts mixed with ground up orange peel that have been left in a jar overnight so the orange oil can soak into the epsom salts. Sprinkle it around any place you see ants and in ant mounds and they will move away quick. Here is the website I first...

White Worm on My Puppy?
If you check with your local Humane Society you can get your pup shots, dewormed and heart worm meds for much cheaper than at a regular vet. I am on disability and so cant afford a regular vet. The Humane Society uses real vets who volunteer their time and...
Suggestions For Cheap, Frozen Fish?
I love fish and dont like the fishy flavor of some fish either. Like the first poster said Tilapia is great and usually quite inexpensive. It can be pan fried with or without breading, baked and tastes great barbequed. I also love cod and flounder fillets which...
Problems with Neighbors Cats?
I left this feedback for another question but it will work for cats or other animals pooping in your planted areas anyway. Since we did this we havent had ANY animals using our garden for a latrine. We used to have problems with rabbits, coons, and armadillos...
Puppy Has Very Runny Eyes?
I am on disability so I have no choice but to live as frugal as possible. I found out about the Humane Society here where I live. They will do all the shots and check for worms and heartworm and give 6 mos of heartworm pills for under $130.00 for a small dog...
Can Diet Affect A Dog's Disposition?
First off, God Bless your daughter for giving him a home! And you for trying to find out what you all can do to help him adjust. Check the food you are feeding for corn, wheat or soy of any kind. Many dogs are allergic to these products and can act almost high...
St. Bernard With Skin Problems?
Do you have him on a monthy flea treatment? You can purchase the same ones the vets sell at most feed stores for less. I havent tried the Nu-stock but it says it works for fungal infections which I suspect your dog might have. I am not knocking vets but after...
What Breed Is My Dog? (Pit Bull Mix)
She looks pure pit to me. I dont want to rain on your parade but hopefully you know it is the law to try to look for the previous owners and are doing so. If you dont you are setting a bad example to your kids that it is okay to keep something you find. Just...
Keeping Drains Clean?
The Arm and Hammer baking soda and vinegar create carbonic acid which can eat thru most clog creating stuff like hair and food if used weekly or bi-monthly. In addition they kill the drain flies and their eggs and maggots that can come out of the drain. Drano...

Hi, your pups are so cute. I own two Chis myself and just wanted to let you know some info I have discovered about dogs in general. I found this on a website to back up what I had discovered from friends, vets and Petsmart ees. The website is: http://dog-care...
Poncho and Mija (Chihuahuas)
Sorry I forgot to mention I also feed Vida glucosamine chondritin snacks once a day. They are the healthiest brand I could find after researching all the others. I break the normal snack in half since my dogs are Chis and it really helped my female. My male...

Little Gourd Farmers
This craft project looks so cute! I want to make me a few sets to give to my friends and family before fall. I bet they would look cute as witches or ghosts for Halloween too. I wonder if I could try growing the gourds myself. Have you tried growing your own...
Toilet Paper Roll Favor Boxes
I agree with londa. ANYTHING kept in your bathroom is contaminated just by being there. (Even your toothbrushes.) Every time you flush the toilet the spray causes microscopic germs to fly up into the air and be redistributed onto anything in the vicinity of...
Keeping Flies Out Of Dog's Food?
I know this doesnt sound like it would work but we have used this method for years to keep flies away from outside barbeques and dinner parties. Hang clear plastic baggies (you can reuse the ones from your grocery produce) filled with about 1-2 cups of ordinary...

Please please dont re-use empty cans to cook or heat anything in. Cans nowadays have a toxic plastic material called Bisphenol A (BPA) inside them to keep the metal can from affecting the taste of the food. Unfortunately the BPA is the same as has been used...
Reducing Spring Weather Damage
This is such a great tip! I live in hurricane and tornado country in a small RV in Texas and you would think I would know enough to have thought of these things by now but I still havent ever done them. Thanks and God Bless!
Mother's Day Memory Jar
What a great idea! I lost my Mom at 60 from Leukemia 5 yrs ago when I was only 40 but I have so many great memories of her and things we did together to last me a lifetime. I gave her a homemade coupon book once when I was 12 for hugs, kisses, quiet time, back...
