Tell Retailers You Saw It Cheaper to Get a Discount
My son works for a major home improvement store in the large appliances dept. They will match or better other stores prices if you bring in proof of your quote or a sales ad. But not just by saying that you saw it cheaper somewhere else.
Use a Reflective Collar for Pets
Thanks so much for that great idea. This would also be great for my Jack Russell who evey now and then will accidently get out. We have 5 acres for her to run but unfortunatly shes a runner and goes way beyond her boundries. Shes not very good at coming when...
Turn A Photo Into A Window Outside
What an awesome idea! Those of us who arent good at woodworking could probably use a shadowbox frame and stain it. I think you can get them at Michaels or other craft stores. I just love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
Lace Hearts
These are very cute. Maybe you could change the heart to something Christmasy and use them for tree ornaments. This would be a great craft for children or grandchildren. With help from adults with the sewing of course.
Condo Manager Evicting My Dog?
Your dog is very cute. Im not really sure but it looks like he might have some bulldog in him. They get a bad rap sometimes. And many insurance companies will not insure you if you have a bulldog on the property. This may be the case with the landlords insurance...
Lavender and Mt. Hood
An absolutely beautiful picture! Ive never been to Oregon but my Mother has and she said it was a beautiful state. I love the chair addition to your picture.
Gold and White Winter Wreath
Your wreath is beautiful. And it sounds like something I can do. These would make great Christmas presents. Thanks for sharing and the directions sound easy to follow:)
Lhasa Apso That Bites?
The water bottle is a great tool. It really gets the dogs attention and they will always relate it to what they were doing when they got squirted. Dont use a regular squirt bottle though. I bought mine at Target in the garden department. It has a rather hard...
Black Stain on a Smooth Surface Stove?
I dont have one of these stoves but someone I work with told me just yesterday that he came home and saw his wife cleaning the top of her flat top stove with a sugar cube. He said it did a good job and did not damage the stove. Just a thought.
Picking a Pineapple?
I too have had the same problem. I grew two pineapples and both were also eaten by critters before I had a chance to pick them. But I too will keep trying. I still enjoy watching them grow.
Hiring Someone to Train My Dog?
I would suggest taking a dog obedience class together. Its really alot of fun for you and your dog. The cost for the one that we took was $75.00 for one night a week for 7 weeks. That was the basic course. You can keep going into other levels after that. Lulu...
Fruit Fly Trap
Im a little confused. I can understand the concept but why do the fruit flies keep coming in your house. Could it be that the formula is attracting them? Just curious.
My Froggy Crossing Pond
I think it looks very professional. And I love frogs too!!!! Now would you like to do one at my house? LOL!! Great job!
Phone Tree Cheats
This is a real timesaver. Its unbelievable how much time you spend trying to get to a customer service rep without having to listen to all that garbage first. Thank you!!!
Recipes Using Gaspar's Linguica Sausage?
Hi Bev, My Portuguese family made a very simple spaghetti sauce using either Linguica or Chourico. Both made by Gaspars. I prefer the Chourico because it is a little spicer and has more flavor. But here it is. 1 pkg Linguica or Chourico 2 8oz cans tomato paste...

Skippy (Jack Russell Terrier)
Skippy is precious. We have a 3 yr old long hair JRT named Lulu. She look alot like your Skippy except Lulu has some black on her head. I wish we could let her run loose like Skippy but my Lulu is a runner, like some Jacks are. But we love her all the same...
Moving Cats to a New Home?
We moved about 25 miles from our previous home. I too used the butter on my cats paws. But it was my understanding that after you butter the paws you must dip the paw in a little soil at your new home. The cat will then lick off the soiled butter and he will...
Jupiter's Beard in the Path Garden
Hi...I love this plant. They remind me alot of pentas. I live in Florida and our climates are somewhat the same as yours, except for humidity, so I went to Swallowtail Garden Seeds website and ordered some seeds. They were only $2.00 a pack for 50 seeds. I...
Suma - Grey Cat
Wow, what a picture. Suma looks very sophistocated. You are a great photographer. But you also have a great subject. Loved it!

Freezing a Crab Spread?
I would worry more about the sour cream than the mayo. I have frozen sour cream in the past and when defrosted its nothing but water. So its possible your dip might be a bit watery after defrosting.
Easter Egg Mosaic
These are adorable and sounds like fun to make. How do all you crafty people come up with such great ideas!
Custom Printable Greeting Cards
Thanks for sharing this sight. I just looked throught it and I love it. I have 4 young grandchildren that will benefit from this sight. It has such a great variety of characters. And I can save money on buying cards too. Every little bit helps.
Breed Information: Chow Chow
Your descripiton of temperament of a chow chow was right on the mark. My ex-husband had a one and it was loyal only to him and his wife. When my children went to visit he had to put the dog in the backyard for the entire visit. He was vicious. And I know that...
Clothes Wrinkled After Washing and Line Drying?
Maybe you could try using the slowest spin speed on your washer. This way it doesnt press the clothes too tightly together when spinning. It may take a little longer to dry them but I dont think they will be as wrinkled. Also, Im sure you probably do this but...
Transplanting a Surinam Cherry Tree?
Thank you for your response. I never knew the formula for judging root ball size. That is a great thing to know. As far as the Cherry Tree goes, I think I will try to move it to a location that gets 3-4 hours a day of sun and see how it does. The blooms that...
Transplanting a Surinam Cherry Tree?
Kaneohe Man, Thank you for all the great info. My tree is still sitting in the same spot and getting very big. But I am very optomistic now and have the courage to move it. We dont have alot of sunny locations on our 5 acre property. We have lots of trees. But...
Oso Getting in the Picture with Cookie

She is a real doll. I have never heard of a puggle but she is adorable. And her outfit really becomes her!
Gifts for My 80 Year Old Mom?
Hello Sara! My Mom just turned 80 this month. We had a nice birthday party for her. What I did was make her a no sew fleece blanket. Everyone likes something to throw over them when just sitting around. It was the easiest thing to make and fun. If your interested...
Mold on Bathroom Walls?
Clorox Cleanup is a great product. But it also depends on how moldy the walls are. If it doesnt do the job, there is a product call Kilns. Its a paint that you can buy at any major home improvement store including Walmart. The Kilns will cover anything left...
Organizing Packets in the Kitchen
Now why didnt I think of that! Great idea. And I have the perfect spot for them too. These forums are fantastic. Thanks for submitting your idea.
Use Molding To Frame Pictures On Large Walls
Absolutely beautiful. I wish I had a creative imagination like that. Love it!
