Removing Grain Dust Residue on Car?I work at a feed mill and almost every day I come out I have grain dust on my car. Now it seems like it is embedded into the glass and paint. When I wash my car either by hand or by machine it looks clean unless you look at it side ways then you can still see the film. Any suggestions on a car wash?

Recipes

A side dish of carrots in a shallow bowl.

Cracker Barrel CarrotsWhen we eat out at Cracker Barrel, I get carrots. They are so good and I wanted to know how to prepare them. I found a recipe and tried it. It calls for 2 pounds of baby carrots but I cut the recipe in half and only prepare 1 pound when I cook them. This is not Cracker Barrel's recipe but it sure does taste pretty close and it's good.

A grey cat with blue eyes.

Sapphire (Balinese Mix)We had seen her lingering around our house before, but this time was different. She was skin and bones, lying in a ditch near the end of our driveway, pitifully wailing. My sister cried and begged to feed her, so we put some food in a bowl, which she proceeded to devour. Over the course of a few months, she began to fatten up.

Birdseed inside a bin, keeping it out of the snow.

Keeping Snowfall Off Bird SeedI was tired of the birdseed getting buried under the snow. I put a green recycle bin on its side (our city no longer uses these bins). I put in the bowl of birdseed and then put an unused shovel over the birdseed like an "umbrella" by putting the shovel handle through the railing. It has worked great, it has snowed several days and the seed never got buried.

A card showing when to change your HVAC filter.

I attach it to the wall with two hook and latch dots. I also attach a pen this way, so its always at the ready!

A chest of drawers with the top drawer painted partly white.

Style and Value of Chest of Drawers?I am debating whether to try and get the thin layer of paint off before selling this, but am not sure if that's possible without a lot of trouble. I was listing this for $125, but had a few people wanting it that I know are dealers so now I'm wondering if this is worth more than I think. There are some label/markings on the back in another language.
