Safe Cooking Oils for Frying?

I love sweet potatoes and the casseroles, but does any one have one without so much sugar?

Candle Wick Very Thin and Flame Struggling?

Excited Dog Peeing in the House?
First off, do not greet here loudly. A calm, gentle, hello and a pat on the head will let her know she is loved, but wont get her so excited, as to cause her to pee. Maybe teaching her to sit, before the greeting will help, as well. In time, she will most likely...

How about, spraying the entire area with full strength ammonia? Or detergent with a good ratio of ammonia. I once rented a house that I thought harbored a lot of critters and cleaned every surface with detergent and ammonia. The next day, there were dead bugs...
How do I get rid of the fleas?
I strongly disagree with the use of dog Advantage on cats! I have used only Cat Advantage on my dog, because of the possibility that the cats will groom him! This spring, my vet did finally tell me how to use Advantix on my dog. Put is on at bedtime so it will...
