Removing Wax From Hardwood Floors?
First magazine suggests that, since scraping can possibly damage the finish, you should melt the wax with a hair dryer set on low, then wipe it up with a paper towel. Then apply 1 tsp vinegar to a damp sponge and wipe the area. The heat softens the wax so it...
Pam Residue on a Cookie Sheet?
SOS pad would definitely do it. Some metals will rust if you scratch them with metal (as used in SOS pads). If youre worried about scratching the pan, try one of the ScotchBrite sponges with the plastic scrubber side. Or try some baking soda with a cloth or...
Burnt Oil In a Pan?
My first question was the same as the editors. If its non-stick, you may actually be trying to remove burnt teflon. If its actually oil/food, the dishwasher detergent could actually eat thru the teflon if left overnite. (hope it didnt) Id like to know if the...

I dont know if there is one serving your area, but Yahoo has groups called Freecycle. You can post requests for the items your looking for, and people post offers of things they just want to get rid of. Of course, everything is FREE. Might be worth a shot, esp...

The main character in the episode After Hours was an adult woman. Im pretty sure the one were looking for is Living Doll. The dolls name was Talky Tina. -- Believe it or not, it also starred Telly Savalas! http://www.scifilm.org/tv/tz/twilightzone5-6.html
Uses for an Old Crib?
This suggestion depends on whether or not you are willing to modify the crib. If you do a lot of crafts and/or gift wrapping, you could add a hinged lid to the top to use as a work-table while storing your craft/gift-wrap supplies inside. Since its on wheels...
Chiggers Love Me?
I was reading some posts on Alternative Uses for Dryer Sheets (I LOVE this website!)...there were several mentions of dryer sheets repelling mosquitos & ants...maybe they work for chiggers too! ANYTHING is worth a shot to prevent a chigger attack! AND, if they...
