Ten Lessons from the Blind Side
Good for you! I work with college students with disabilities, some who were born into their conditions. Some of them could learn a lesson or two from you! Blessings to you!
Homemade Cookies Taste Salty?
Did you by any chance use self-rising flour? It has salt in it, it would have doubled the salt in the recipe. Also, if you used salted butter, that would do it. You could use unsalted butter instead, or Crisco (or no-name Crisco). Otherwise, theres nothing...
Salmon (Mackerel) Gravy
How do you make the gravy? What are the ingredients? How do you cook it? I make brown gravy with broth, chicken gravy with chicken broth, and sausage/milk gravy with milk and fat. So which one is it? If this is the recipe, then where are the ingredients and...
Macaroni and Spam
Spam is not economical at ALL, and it is full of fat and salt! Apound of ground beef or a couple nice big chicken breasts is only a few cents more than a can of spam. Why would I use processed food when I can have fresh? Im not sure how the myth that spam is...

An Animal Died In Our Camper?
Treat the area where the animal died, and several inches around, with a mix of 1 part baking soda and 3 parts activated charcoal. You can get this in the pet section of the store. Put a thick layer of it on the spot, then leave the camper closed up for 24 hours...
Remembering My Login?
My best advice is to always use the same username and password, no matter what site you are signing up for. Then you dont have to remember something different for each place, and you will always remember it. I use my screenname everywhere, or if that is taken...
Renovating the Floor of My Lanai (Covered Patio)?
You should first patch it to get it smooth again. Any good hardware store can sell you concrete patch. And because you have standing water and weathering, I would recommend floor/deck paint. It may sound expensive, but two coats and you will not have to mess...
