Where Can I Get Help to Pay My Electric Bill?
In Illinois we have an energy assistance program. I would do a search on your state energy assistance programs (Illinois Energy Assistance program etc).or call your energy company directly. Sometimes they will work with you.
Can I Put Linoleum Over Indoor-Outdoor Carpet?
Thanks to all of you who replied back to me. Unfortunately you are right. Some I had not even thought about. Guess Ill go back to my original plan for now. Ill get it cleaned professionally as best as can be since Im getting the rest of the house cleaned too...
Remedies for Poison Ivy and Poison Oak?
I cant tell you for sure but when my husband would 1st catch the poison oak or even a mosquito bite he would make a paste of soap & put it on the area. If your area is small you can try this. He said it did help with the itching. Its natural so it cant hurt...
Reuse Cardboard From Tissue Box
This is a good idea. No waste. I take last years Christmas cards & tear off the front pic. Then use it as a gift tag. If I need to have it hang from the gift I punch a hole in & use yarn (string would work, too) or just tape it to the pkg. Kids especially like...
Create a Computer Troubleshooting Binder
I havent called the pc company too many times but do have some troubleshooter techs I can email. So I have a folder saved in my mail (Outlook Express) that has my original question & their answers saved. Then if something similar happens again I can go back...
Store Sheets Inside Pillowcases
Sounds like a good idea if you want your sheets to be a matching set. I like the idea of the dryer sheet too for the scent. I sometimes spray some body spray on mine for smell too. Or have used a room freshener on the sheets too. I read long time ago that if...
Add Cinnamon to Coffee
I tried that w/ reg coffee in a reg pot but the cinnamon did not dissolve all the way. it left a big gunk at the bottom of the pot. Even after stirring it it didnt all dissolve. Ive tried it putting the cinnamon in w/ the grounds as well as adding the cinnamon...
Doorway Drapings
I like your idea. I was thinking of doing something similar as my dining room does not have a door. I want to do it simple but do not want to staple it in place. Any suggestions on what else I can use to hang them with? I was thinking of maybe a curtain rod...
Make Ice Cubes from Coffee or Tea
I have taken leftover coffee (even form the day before) & used it to make brown gravy. The gravy is so rich tasting. If its too strong you can dilate it w/ water as you go along. Just make it from your roast drippings the same way you do using water.
Hang Sticky Notes at an Angle
I have another use for sticky notes. When the weather gets real bad such as a lot of lightning etc or power outages I usually unplug my computer from the wall just so it wont get hit by lightning etc. I also do this if I am going away for a trip for a few days...
Refill Plastic Tubs for Pet Food and Litter
I use empty ice cream buckets for cat food. I have also used them for cat litter. I find that one full tub is just about the right amt of litter for the box. Then of course I use cat litter bags which I can get at Dollar General for $1.00 (10 to a box) so all...
Feed Dogs Yogurt for Allergies
I keep reading about yogurt for chronic infections etc. I am wondering it it has to be plain. I cant find a small size in the local grocery stores & I want to give it to my car but i think the lager size would spoil before using it all. I like some yogurt but...
Saving Money on Soda Pop
I drink very little soda pop anymore. I make a pot of tea in the morning & drink maybe one or two cups. Then save the rest for lunch or dinner. But every once in a while I do by soda (in the cans) on sale. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the...
Using Up Hand Lotions That Are Too Sticky
I have taken old lotion & even an old facial moisturizer that I dont want to out on my face or is too sticky for my hands & have it convenient to use as a cuticle softener. I have one right by the computer & one on the end table by my chair. Then I dont have...
Looking For Free Calendar Templates Online?
I found this site that has several different calendars in various styles & sizes. I needed one that I could put on the monitor of my pc so I could see each month. I used the yearly one then cut each moth individually to about a 3 square & have it taped to the...
Print Preview to Save Paper
I do this all the time. Especially when printing greeting cards. I use the print preview to make sure my card has what I want on it & where it belongs. If the card isnt right then you can add or make changes before printing them off.
Reuse Large Ice Cream Tubs
I too use my ice cream buckets for many things- household etc. I buy the larger bag of cat litter (20-25#) & divide it in the buckets. I then take them (maybe 3) upstairs to my bathroom closet & can stack them so I dont have to go down to the basement to get...
Uses for Binder Clips
These sound like very useful items. I havent tried it yet but I plan to try it on the cat litter box. One size bags are just too small & dont fit the box w/out tearing a little & the next size up is a little too big. These should work good to clip the bag to...
Repairing Tiles and Dry Wall on a Shower Wall?
I had a fiend from my church take all the old tile off the wall & put a tub-surround ( fiberglass type) on the wall. he was able to get me a used one which saved me a lot of money. He is just a handyman type of person who has done several repairs to his house...
Save Shoe Boxes
I have a local church that does a shoebox project every Christmas. They fill them w/ things like pencils, erasers, small toys etc & the boxes are Christmas wrapped & shipped to a place that sends them to kids in a foreign country. I think its called Shoebox...
Save Shoe Boxes
Would be a good idea to send them here too. I think it was started to help those in need in places where they dont have the resources we do like family aid etc. You could always check into it & see if maybe there is something like that for our kids.
