Finish Your ATM Transaction
At most ATMs,when the card is pulled out, the person has to put in their PIN number. When that happens, if they want another transaction, they have to put their card back in or resubmit their PIN number. Most thieves and people behind the person that doesnt...
Symptoms of Nicotine Withdrawal?
I quit smoking in February. I didnt think I would make the first week. I got so sick. The fever, chills, and achiness all over is from your body releasing the poisons you have been ingesting for however long you have smoked. The migraine as well, but that is...
Budget with Envelope System
Try the old standby, the envelope system, for the things you can pay cash for. Gas station maybe not, but the grocery store, eating out (ridiculously overpriced and bad for you), coffee drinks, entertainment, etc. Why would you say this about the gas station...
Start By Sorting Books Alphabetically
I think you miswrote number 4. You wrote The books you are not going to sell or swap, put in an easily carried fiber grocery bag and carry out to your car when you leave the house to go to town, so they do not sit and stare at your for weeks on end. When I...
Painting a Bench After Cleaning With Bleach?
Well, I was going to answer you, but Lilac beat me to it. :) Use the distilled vinegar to get a good neutralization. Or stick the bench in direct sunlight for an afternoon.
How Much to Pay a House Sitter?
I dont know why Lorelei says it will cost more for a live-in situation as when you invite someone to live in your home for a month at a time in this type of situation, you are essentially inviting them to stay at your home rent free for one month. That is how...
Biz Powdered Detergent?
http://www.bizstainfighter.com/ I havent seen biz on the shelves at WalMart in years. I dont have a local Wegmans or Tops. Those two stores seem to be only on the east coast.
Create A Coupon Book For Shopping
I love the idea of a three ring binder. Wonder why I never thought of it? I have been coupon saving on and off for thirty years and never tried the binder - I will be getting started on that today. I have one store here though that has on their front door that...
Using File Cards For Organizing Addresses
Of course the old fashioned way is the better way, but I dont say that to anger the techno generation, its just that sometimes the power goes off, or the computer crashes, or the cell doesnt have service and a person needs to have connection to someone not...
Dorm Room Necessities
In the first aid section, you forgot something. It is so easy to forget, and I have also forgotten to get one. Your college student will need a thermometer (either digital or oral). Most doctors, if they dont know you well, will ask what your temperature was...
Storing Christmas Ornaments In Luggage
Using the plastic totes to keep mice out is not a great idea. The mice tend to chew threw the plastic. The luggage idea sounds workable.
Extra Storage With Tote Bags
I would like to see a picture of what you have since I am unsure of what you are talking about. I cannot think that hanging bags is a pretty solution, especially in an organizational solution.
Remembering Birthdays
I use my Google calendar to keep up with birthdays. That way, I only put them down once and they are forever in my account. I get pop up reminders a week before the birthday so I can remember to send out cards or gifts.
Circle Numbers in the Phone Book
Thing is, if a person used a highlighter when circling phone numbers, the the numbers on top and bottom of the one circled wont be crossed off. The companies that make highlighters make them in various colors, so if you are looking through the yellow pages...
Frugal Uses for Packaging Materials: Bubble Wrap and Foam Peanuts?
I make door and window doggies that block out the wind (and dirt) when the wind blows here. Just make a fabric tube with one end and side sewn shut, fill with packing peanuts and sew other end shut with hand stitching. Makes the furnace and the a/c work for...
