Gratitude Not Attitude
I agree. 5 dollars is more than you had before and it used to be 5.00 was a lot of money. Society has become slightly jaded and people are just not as grateful as they used to be when I was a kid or as grateful that they should be.We cannot change them but...
Gratitude Not Attitude
I do too Marg. When ever I find money on the ground and usually it is a penny. I say Find a penny, pick it up, and all the day you will have good luck as I pick up the penny and put it in my purse. My husband was wondering why I pick up pennies on the ground...
Tobias Nadler (Chipin)
Thank you for taking that precious little guy home with you. He is a lucky puppy. You saved him and that is beautiful.
Using Bread to Pick Up Broken Glass
I am sorry if I offend anyone but I think this is one of the most irresponsible ideas I have ever seen. When I break glass I sweep it up and then vacuum it. I also recycle broken glass in the glass recycling.We have wild birds outside who love bread. They would...
Using Bread to Pick Up Broken Glass
HI again. I am just seeing this after I dont know how many years this was posted and I just wanted to add to my post and reply to your second one. When ever I break glass I vacuum it up and there are no shards or tiny pieces or whatever to step on. I have light...
Free Expired Items
Generally food is still ok after the expiration date. Several years ago I had stored some packets of albacore tuna in one of those popcorn cans and forgot about it. So when I finally came across it, it had expired 8 years ago. I was just sick about it and didnt...
Free Expired Items
Around here, charities never ever take anything that is expired. It kind of makes me mad because it is still good even though it is expired, but you wont find any expired food around here where I live.
Free Expired Items
Yes Marg. I have never seen an expired food in any stores where I live or any food pantries or charity places. They will not take them as it is illegal to sell or give away expired products
Free Expired Items
It is kind of sad to see whole loaves of bread that are perfectly fine thrown away. No mold on them or anything bad.
Argiope ~ The Writing Spider
I read your story with great interest. I have some of these spiders in my yard. They are beautiful. I always wondered why they are called writing spiders. About the older kids though, I have some cousins who used to scare me so much. First when I was 5, and...
Product Review: Shark Navigator Lift-Away
I love my Shark Navigator Lift away. I have 5 house bunnies and they run around all day and there is some poo on the rug every day. I vacuum every day and the Shark picks up the bunny poo like a champ. no problem. Then I take the canister out to the garden...
Composting Chicken Manure
I have a friend on another web site who has chickens for pets and has them in her house. She has come down with some awful allergies and headaches. She has a rabbit and the chickens and some possums too in her house. I am wondering if it could be these animals...
Wear Gardening Gloves For The Unexpected
Oh yes. If you look at each blade of pampas grass you will see that on both sides are saw tooth edges which will definitely rip your fingers open. I have some big Agaves too that not only have sharp needle points on the end but also have them up and down the...
Wear Gardening Gloves For The Unexpected
I am so glad that your finger healed up and is better now. I forgot to say about my comment that the Agave Americana or Century Plant used to be used by the American Indians as a needle and thread. The agave leaf when it is dried has the sharp needle on the...
Tote Bag Made from a Dog Food Bag
I saw someone selling these bags at the Tucson county fair, but then I got the idea of making these out of rabbit food bags which feature darling cute little bunnies on the bag. I wouldnt turn the bag inside out, I would have the cute bunny feed bunnies on...
Sandal/Flip-Flop Holder
This is a great idea. I have several pairs of flip flops and I bought a flip flop hanger at Walmart that holds 10 pairs of flipflops but I needed more. I was going to buy another one at Walmart but then discovered that they stopped selling this product, so...
Don't Take Free Items Beyond What You Need
I agree with you about the free items. I had a relative who was quite wealthy and she would take everything that was not nailed down. I mean all the sugar and jellys. That is really awful about the woman who dumped all the suckers into her purse. How tacky...
The Lessons of Less
This is a wonderful article. I have sadly come to your same conclusion after many years of thinking that acquiring lots of material stuff would make me happy. I used to clean houses many years ago. I would clean all these huge houses knowing I would never have...
Dry Laundry Soap for Twenty Dollars a Year
Is that regular baking soda in the box. I have never heard of washing soda. Also does it work with the front loader HE detergent washers?
Brown Bag Wallpaper
THis is absolutely beautiful. I remember That lady. I cannot remember her name now but she had a show on TV on HGTV a long time ago and she was a designer. Blonde hair, blue eyes. Anyway she taught how to do this and I wished that i had been able to videotape...
Organizing Magazines
THis is a great idea or ideas for magazines. I have too many and dont want to throw them away. I recycle my magazines after I take some pages out of them but I had not thought of putting the pages in some binders. But going digital is a really great idea.
Buying From A Breeder
I was just going to say. Do not buy from a breeder. There are so many dogs and cats and rabbits in the shelters and they need homes, and they are just as healthy and loving and cute as the ones from breeders.
Put Ads at the Bottom of the Garbage Can
I always use plastic bags in my garbage can and never get the paper bags. I recycle all paper and I never have a mess to clean up.
