Bargains for Petite Women?I was thinking the other day that as a petite woman, 5 feet tall and weigh 110 lbs, there are several things I do to save money due to my size. I buy little girls underwear (cheaper) as well as little boys and girls t shirts.
Freezing Pimento Cheese?I was "blessed" with a big tub of Pimento Cheese this Christmas. I need to know if this can be frozen, as we cannot eat it fast enough!
Using Pool Bleach Tablets for Laundry?I have been given a bucket of chlorine tablets for my above ground pool. I am thrilled that I don't have to purchase these this year, in fact I may have enough for a couple of years. Anyway, I was wondering, can I put one of these tablets in a bucket of water and make bleach for my laundry?
Shining Formica Counter Tops?I have formica counter tops and I was wondering if there is any way to "buff" the counter to make it shine again? It only has faint scratches so I thought that maybe if I was it and then buff it without a buffer.
Washing Transmission Going Bad In Stacked Washer/Dryer Unit?I just had a repair man come out to my house and he said that my washing machine "transmission" is going out. He said not to do anything yet as it is an "expensive" item.
Keeping a Dog out the Litter Box?We just adopted a new kitty. He is neutered and declawed so he will be an inside cat. My question is how can I keep my Yorkie out of the litter box? I know he is going to head straight to it once the kitty does his business.
Uses for Dry Cleaner Bags?I have accumulated a lot of dry cleaner plastic bags. I hate to just throw them away as I know there must be something I can do with them.
Angel Food Ministries Recipe Ideas?I am looking to start a topic for those of us that get food each month from the Angel Food Ministries. I would like to know what you have made from your Angel Food groceries.
Gas Range Pilot Lights?
I currently have a gas range. The pilot light stays lit. I bought the range thinking if the power went out I would always be able to cook, as opposed to an electric ignition range. Well now that gas prices are sky high I am wondering if I would be better off getting a range that has the electric ignition on it?
Recipes Using Avocados?I love fresh avocados and can sometimes get really good deals on them. Does anyone know of a recipe or if you can freeze them in any way?
Natural Outdoor Christmas Decorations?I am looking for some "natural" decorating ideas for the Christmas Holiday. I plan on using Magnolia leaves, pine bows and pine cones as interior decorations. What I would really like is some outside ideas that I can use. Particularly for my front door and back door as well as my mailbox.
Keeping Pond Water Clear?I have a small fish pond in my front flower bed. It is under some tress so it gets lots of shade. In the past I tried electric pumps to filter the water but they would constantly get stopped up. I finally took the pump out and now just have the pond without any filter. Is there any product that will keep the water clear? I have cleaned the pond and put fresh water in it.
Cleaning My Dog Pen?I have a dog pen that I plan on doing away with grass. Every year I have to re-seed the pen and then when it rains it is a muddy mess. I plan to cover the bare dirt, as it is now, with a weed block and put brown river rock (rather smallish) over the weed block.
Getting Better Mileage?With gas prices soaring, what are others doing to reduce the use of gas? I have cut way back on driving places.
Dogs and Tile Floors?I have a Florida room that I keep my 4 (don't ask) little dogs in at night. The floor is tile and I have to mop the floor every day. What is the best way to mop this floor that will neutralize the smell?
Capture Carpet Cleaning System?I have recently purchased the product "Capture" carpet cleaning system. I was wondering if anyone has used this before and what are you opinions of it? I have pet stains I need to remove. Any suggestions? Also, does this product clean up next to the baseboards? Steamers don't get that close so I am hoping this product will do that. Can you use it in area rugs and furniture? Thanks in advance!
What Do You Splurge On?I would like to know what others on this board do or buy that they consider to be a "splurge". My weakness is for Diet Dr. Pepper. I love this stuff and have to have it in the house or I feel "deprived". What do others treat themselves to?
Removing Paint From Electrical Outlets?I have been painting and have managed to get paint on the plug in receptacles. How can I get the dried paint off of these without shocking myself and messing up the outlets?
