Roasted Chayote Squash
I dont know if Ive tried them either. What are they like? Is it similar to summer squash?
Making New Candles From Used Ones
Thank you for the love and kind words! I really hope you try this. Its really fantastic how you can make a brand new candle that looks 100% store-bought just from leftovers, scraps, and string. The scented part is a lovely twist, especially for the fall. I...

Making New Candles From Used Ones
You know, every time I thought about coming back on here, I would think about your mum first, for obvious reasons. Its amazing what she created, and I love that you all have kept it going. Ill be back to my old ways in due time, surely. Thank you for the open...
Making New Candles From Used Ones
Hi Jess! My mother and I appreciate it so much. I lost the desire to be creative through all this. My father was actually one of my driving forces to be on here and to post. He loved ThriftyFun very much. It was a big part of his everyday routine to read through...
Making New Candles From Used Ones
Stella, thank you so much. I have missed being on here, but its been difficult to be social. Its nice to make the step back in and feel welcomed immediately. I missed you all very much!
What is My Dog Mixed With?
My girlfriend has a German Shep Boxer mix that looks similar. It has a few more wrinkles giving away the Boxer part, but could be.
Toning Down Hair That Is Too Pink?
Hello! I work with hair often. I have been exactly where you are with the hair that came out too pink. If youd like to tone it down just a bit and not change the wonderful quality of your current hair, get a SEMI permanent light light ash brown colour and process...
Name Ideas for an Etsy Business?
Honestly I would just keep the name you have and in your store and in your images, add some sort of tagline about what you sell. Its just such a perfect name already and it covers all the grounds.
Is My Dog a Full Blooded Pit Bull?
Although your Brownie does look full, if you need to know for sure, get an at home DNA test :) Here is a list of whats to be the best kits: https://www.thesprucepets.com/best-dog-dna-tests-4176499
Microwave Plate Repair/Replacement?
I dont think a DIY would be good here. I got mine at Goodwill for a few bucks. Sometimes theyre just sitting in the plate department.
What Breed is My Dog? (Chiweenie)
My friend had a chihuahua dachshund years ago and this looks almost exactly like him!!
Cats Pooping on the Deck?
Maybe try an ultrasonic light system that repels the cats. They auto turn on and some use solar technology, which is great. Here is an example: https://dbzon.com/products/cat-outdoor-ultrasonic-repeller?variant=31736591810662¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync...
Chocolate Cowboy Hats
Thanks, Linda! They are yummy too. I had one that kinda melted together the next day and it was terrific :D
Chocolate Cowboy Hats
Thank you so much!!! I bet your nephews would secretly still adore them-- I know this grown adult does, especially because they are yummy. hahaha! Trick or treat! x
Why Does My 5 Month Old Kitty Nurse on My Lip?
Agree with both of the above. She thinks you are the mum. Just slowly get her to only go for her own foods. This would not be a life-long thing, but the sooner you can get her on her own, the better.
Cleaning Burned Grease Off of Stove Elements?
I personally use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda with a last rinse using boiling hot water. It seems to work fine. My husband likes to use Scrubbing Bubbles as mentioned above and that works as well!
Finding a Job
You can try a site like Task Rabbit. They have plenty of different tasks to choose from to help other people out. https://www.taskrabbit.com/become-a-tasker
Battered Fish Tacos with Fresh Slaw
Thank goodness they are different! Sometimes I worry I might post something too similar after not searching enough. I try to mix it up. I do love that lime crema! :)
Value of a Webcor President Record Player?
hello! That looks like a 1964 Webcor EP-1450-1 1A record player. This is the closest I could find for you, listed at $100: https://www.shoppok.com/redding/a,49,97798,RESTORED-1964-Webcor---TUBE---suitcase-portable-RECORD-PLAYER-STEREO----100--Redding-off-Bechelli...
Finding an Inexpensive Wedding Photographer?
I would go to your Craigslist services area and post there. Since its not a ft/pt position, they wont charge you for the post. Also try your local NextDoor- a great resource to find those types of things near you.
Roasted Carrots with Carrot-Top Pesto
Ooo a great idea for Christmastime! Enjoy, Marg! Lots of love to you and England-- we are transplants living in Cali! :)
Roasted Carrots with Carrot-Top Pesto
Oh yes, let us know if you try it with sunflower seeds and whats the outcome! :D Thank you!
What is This Thing
Really hard to distinguish from this photo. Was it moving around? If so, slowly? Quickly? Did it have legs? From this, it looks like maybe a slug?
Covering Lemon in Microwave
In short, its not the best idea due to chemical releases. Try to use ceramics and glass items.
Damaged Hair from Texturizer
Wonderful suggestions above about checking in with internal health, as well. Not always will an external element or product help, BUT its good to trim your hair and condition often. You can even skip washes to help save your hair. I have been taking biotin...
Making Pastel Hair Dyes
I forgot to mention that I also like to do this in the reverse fashion: darker colours at the roots and lightest at the tips... so just reverse the conditioner addition as you go down :)
Going Back to Original Hair Color
Try something like Color Oops Extra Conditioning Hair Color Remover. It works and it does not kill your hair. You can get it on Amazon.
Etiquette Regarding Family Visits?
I think a call or a heads up would be normal before a visit. I think you can actually leverage this issue by using the pandemic as a reason why calling or texting pre-visit is a MUST. And that you must approve the visit, as well.
Identifying a Small Brown Bug?
Looks just like a bed bug https://www.pestworld.org/pest-guide/bed-bugs/bed-bugs/ You will definitely need an insecticide servicing for this

Cleaning a Rusty Knife?
Let them sit in white vinegar then clean. You can also make a paste with baking soda and water and clean.
13th Birthday Party Ideas?
You could still do this but keep it super small due to the budget and the lockdown. Stay safe and have a great birthday!
What Bug Caused This Bite?
Looks like a mosquito bite. Spider bites get a red patch. Check out mosquito bite images here: https://www.google.com/search?q=mosquito+bites&sxsrf=ALeKk01UOi8C8adtcu4C1ZOOzzjOMWjoAQ:1597857259512&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjZjeuS4qfrAhXdHzQIHbR-DZcQ_AUoAXoECA0QAw...
Comforter Falls Off When Using Satin Sheets?
I use bed sheet straps when this happens. You can get them on Amazon or Bed Bath and Beyond. Cheap and helpful.
50th Birthday Ideas?
I threw a huge Zoom bday party for my hubby this year, with distance and the pandemic factoring in. I had asked everyone to bring photos/videos of him from past events and share them on the chat- he loved it so much :)
