Product Review: The Diet Solution Program
Just because YOU dont agree with it doesnt mean its a scam or something. Whats wrong with organics anyway?
Beware Misleading Produce Packaging
Dont assume all stores will cheat you just because a walmart owned store will. By the way, cindy s. I worked in a produce dept. and, yes, we did package bulk grapes in the store. (We didnt cheat people either.)
Robin's Weekly Grocery Deals
I did my grocery shopping for the first AND last time last week. I didnt find the prices to be any lower than anywhere else and higher than Meijer.

No, check out that company on Daves garden website, garden watchdog - http://davesgarden.com/products/gwd/c/928/
Aloe Vera for Acne
If you have never used it before test it on a very small spot. Some people (like me) are highly sensitive to aloe vera and it causes an excruciating burningly painful rash.
Reducing the Cost of Feeding a Family
I love the idea of the little pizzas. Ill have to try that tonight.
Aloe Vera Gel for Minor Burns
If youve never used aloe vera before just try a tiny bit first because some people are highly sensitive to it. I cant use anything with even a little bit of aloe because it gives me a very painful and sometimes blistering rash.
Used Books Make Great Gifts
When my kids were growing up they always each got a big box of books for Christmas. I still give them at least one book for Christmas now. Btw, they all love to read and I think all those Christmas books are what did it.
Product Review: Dryer Balls
Dont they clunk around in the dryer? I cant stand even a dime banging around in there I think id go nuts having to listen to something that big.
Big Bear (Chow Lab Mix)
I thought it was a bear before I read the caption. I used to have a black lab named Little Bear.
Defrosted Carrots Are Watery?
Did you blanch them before you froze them? Freezing without blanching makes the cell walls burst and that makes them watery when they thaw.
Drinking Glass to Emboss Cookies
My mother used to do that back when I was a teenager lo these many years ago.
Substitutes for Egg in Meatloaf?
It must be a regional thing, Ive never heard of putting egg in meatloaf. Ive certainly never done it and my meatloaf always turns out fine.
Neosporin Use on a Chicken?
Id use honey. It is anti-bacterial and non-toxic. We used it on some ducks that had been attacked by a dog and they all healed and survived.
Stevia Plant Seems to Be Dying?
Stevia is a tropical or at least semi-tropical plant so it wont live outdoors in Canada all winter. Sorry I cant be of much help because I brought mine inside and it did the exact same thing yours did. I have read you can root a cutting but mine died before...
Hardy Kiwi 'Michigan State'
Unfortunately before they flower you cant tell them apart. I bought a set of a male and female about 3 years ago. We had a late spring freeze and one died back all the way and never grew more than 6 inches tall over the next 3 years. Since I couldnt remember...
Homemade Yogurt and Lactose Intolerance?
Im lactose intolerant but yogurt doesnt affect it because the the the lactose is broken down by the active yogurt cultures. Some studies have shown that the active live bacterial cultures (also known as probiotics) found in yogurt help lactose digestion.--http...
Using Green Plastic Produce Bags?
Theyre okay. They seemed to work well for soft fruits and veggies (watermelon, summer squash). I got mine because I needed to get something else for a free shipping offer on Amazon. I dont think Id bother buying them again though because they are a royal pain...
Plug Extension Cords Into Outlets Blocked By Furniture
My father was an electrician and one of the first things he taught us was NOT to leave extension cords plugged in without anything plugged in to the other end. Very dangerous.
Don't Bring Junk Mail in Your House
Our post office doesnt even have a wastebasket inside or out much less a recycle basket (Ive never heard of such a thing in a post office anywhere that Ive lived). I dont think the postmistress wants our junk mail any more than we do!
Planting a Two to Three Season Flower Garden?
Sorry, didnt mean for my email signature to be added to the post!
Planting a Two to Three Season Flower Garden?
Im not interested in flowers that re-seed. Im interested in a 3 season flower garden.
Storing Fresh Ginger?
I cut it into chunks and freeze it. I use mine in smoothies so chunks are fine.
Eating a Low-Salt Diet?
To sela gal. Yes, the problem IS with salt or rather sodium. Sea salt isnt going to help. We dont need as much salt to live as some people think. Hell get plenty. Besides I didnt ask for recipes or salt substitutes I asked for a time line to get over salt cravings...
Sell Your Old Books Online
They dont accept paperback fiction and a long list of other kinds of books. They buy mostly technical books and recent textbooks.
Substitute for Olive Oil?
Thanks, I thought maybe canola oil would be good. It is 90% of Subways olive oil blend after all. As for not noticing the price of the walnut oil, trust me, I would.
Recipe for Subway Honey Oat Bread?
The bread is cooked in a convection oven so even with the right recipe you might not get the same result. That being said the only difference between the wheat and the honey oat is that the wheat bread is coated (except for the bottom) this is from the subway...
Homemade Wall O' Water?
Thanks everybody. Ill keep these solutions in mind when the season wanes. Right now my plants are kind of tiny and the weathers been real nice. I made kind of open-topped cloches with disposable plastic drinking cups from the dollor store. Ill put a picture...
Homemade Wall O' Water?
not the best picture, but heres what Ive done so far with my little tomato plants.
My Raised Garden
Very nice looking. I was wondering how you had big plants in there already until I read where youre from. Its snowing (and sticking)here.
Freezing Limes?
I just throw mine in the freezer, usually still in the net bag if I bought them that way. Just thaw them in the microwave for 20 or 30 seconds and take it from there!
Ice Cream Recipe Without Eggs?
Thanks for the recipes. I ended up just partially thawing a bag of frozen strawberries. I put them in my vita mix (supposedly ice cream can be made in the vitamix but I dont really like the results) and dumped in a can of condensed milk and a little milk and...
Ellen's Tips for Conserving Water
how clean can you get in 5 minutes? It sure takes longer than that to wash my hair.
Ask for Double Dose Prescriptions
Some medications must be taken whole and arent to be cut or crushed. Please ask your doctor first.
Target and the Salvation Army
why should the salvation army be allowed but nobody else? I think they are being fair.
Starting a Mail Order Business?
go to http://www.topcatsgiftshop.com there is a link in the upper right hand corner income opportunities
Pet Stew and Pet Food Stretcher
wow! I didnt know that. Thanks. My little dog loves my leftover steamed veggies but from now on Ill take out the onions. However garlic has cured some sick kittens in the past.
Points Programs?
I dont trust any site that requires my credit card to send me my prizes and some things arent worth the shipping and handling added. Thats why I decided not to sign up with six questions even though it looked like fun.
Saving Lemons Before They Go Bad
All you really have to do is put them in the freezer the way they are. Thaw them 30 or 40 seconds in the microwave when you want one. I slice a chunk off to put in a smoothy and put the rest of the lemon back in the freezer.
