Yahoo's Online Calendar
I agree on the use of the Yahoo calendar. It is my right hand! Im using it more and more as time goes on.
Freeze Food Waste Until Garbage Day
This does work well. Ive used this system for quite some time but one more step is that I separate all the vegetable waste, coffee grounds, egg shells, and anything else that does not have fat or meat odor. I keep that in a tight container in the garage until...
Garden: Rose Hedge
Hi Peggy from Medina, Im Mary from Lewiston (not too far down the pike from you). The roses are truly beautiful. Do you suppose it was a result of the very wet spring we had. I know that roses love water and heat, they have had both this year. Thanks for sharing...
Raised Beds Using Cardboard Boxes
Interesting discussion here about the various materials for raised beds. In earlier years I wanted to have our small veggie garden raised as our land is so flat and stays wet too long in the spring. Gradually I just kept raising that parcel of ground with leaves...
Use a Pot as Hose Hanger
Clever use of recyclables! Recently I was looking at a lovely wrought steel hose holder and when I discovered the cost, my husband and I put on our thinking caps and he came up with a good one. He had in his stash an old steel rod handle from a auto jack. It...

Christmas "Morning" With Grandchildren
This is a clever idea and should make for happy parents as well as the children having an extra Christmas. Thanks for sharing a good idea.
Magic Eraser To Clean Grout
Thanks. Ive been looking for something to take care of our tile shower. Ive used the vinegar spray as recommended but hasnt done the job. Im ready for a real solution.
Use Less Than the Recommended Laundry Detergent
I agree with this one. For the past few years Ive been using a cup of white vinegar along with either a cup of baking soda or a handful of borax in the washer. For detergent I use just a very little in each load and my clothes do wash and rinse out much better...
What is This Plant?

Online Banking Advice?
To the person who is considering online banking with BOA, I speak from a few years of experience with same bank. I have had the best experience with them. I have no fees connected with my accounts nor with the online banking, except of course overdraft charges...
Make a Habit of Returning Cart
I have to agree that we should have the courtesy of using the cart corral and when possible just pick up a cart on the way into the store. (I do, I do) At the same time there is another side to this. In these times of economic stress I like to think that having...
Cookies are Very Thin and Hard?
Check the brand of sugar you used. Long,long ago my mother told me that there is a difference in sugars. If you have used one of the generic brands, go back and get one of the major brands of sugar and try again. There is something in the processing of the...
Reuse Wyler Bouillon Jars
I loved reading this because it reminded me of my late mother. She passed to me the interest in saving neat little containers. Mind you she wasnt a clutter-bug but she always seemed to have just the right sized little container when needed. I keep just a few...
Poll: Do you hang dry your clothing?
Ive always liked hanging clothes out to dry. In recent years weve moved our laundry upstairs so I dont have to run up and down anymore. While I would have hung laundry to dry in the basement in winter, I now hang some things on hangers on a rod over the washer...
The Dream Linen Closet
Interesting thoughts on the linen closet. Ours has been kind of a catch all over the years. A while back I came across a long set of coated wire shelves that we fastened to the inside of the linen closet door. It holds all of the first aid items that had cluttered...
