Use a Wide Toothed Comb Instead of a Brush
My hair has always been fine and a little thin. For some reason it really started to grow in my early 60s. Most every night before I go to bed, I carefully finger comb the whole thing. Parts of it are down to my waist and tangles easily because its fine. I...

Is the single serving yogurt like the tiny ones that come in pkgs of 4 or 8, or the regular size with the widest selection?
Wonder Art "Colonial" Quilt Blocks?
Amazon has it. Click on the drop down menu for Art, Crafts (and such, sewing I think). If you already checked Amazon, heres what gave you a problem. The company name is Wonderart, all one word, then Colonial Rose or just Colonial. If youre looking for it in...
Buying an iPad?
You mentioned iPad in one part of your question and iPod in another. Either way, it depends on how much you want to store with it. With Apple products, I usually go to the Apple site and check out products in their store. Theyre also very good about answering...
Clean Fine Jewelry with an Electric Toothbrush
Works fine unless youre cleaning something with pearls or soft gemstones like opals. Opals are often made into a doublet, a thin slice of opal with a clear quartz cover. A triplet also has a backing material for additional stability. A side view will show you...
Disinfecting Old Hats And Shoes
I gave up on used shoes years ago. No matter how much I tried to disinfect, ick would come up from deeper layers when I wore them. Hats dont have a thick layer of inner padding so I spray them down and Im fine. Years back, in the early 70s, I picked up a lice...

San Francisco Wedding Photos
You do have a fine eye. Im particularly fond of the shadows on the stair picture. Most wedding photos bore me senseless. These are the kind of pics that wont make their kids snicker and roll their eyes 20 years from now. Dont know what you do for a living now...
Add Googley Eyes To Brighten Your Day

Simple Green And Baking Soda For Hair Dye On Skin
Oh Roxanne, you made my day! You brought back a long buried memory. About 40 years ago, my mother went to a halloween party as the Jolly Green Giants wife. She used a food color concoction to dye her hair and skin green. Came out of her hair fine but refused...
Buy Cheap Spectacles For Out of the House
Our local Dollar General stores have just the same thing. Here, the ones with the tiny springs are called spring temple glasses, usually a high dollar feature. Lenses are also quite good with no perceptable distortion. The Dollar General versions are $5.00...
Making Cooking Oils for Gifts?
The trick with flavored oils is to make sure there isnt a trace of moisture anywhere, in the bottle or the ingredients. Adding fresh herbs or garlic is iffy. Dried herbs are much safer. Even with precautions, its still prone to mold. It can cause real health...
Lemon Essential Oil for a Room Freshener
Instead of cotton balls, I use cheap kitty litter. The no frills kind. We keep a large container of it in the garage to absorb oil spills. I dilute a few drops of essential oil in a little bit of water and sprinkle it over a handfull of litter. It soaks up...
