"Mock" Soap on a Rope

Space Bags Reviews?
My opinion of space bags is that they were a good idea that didnt quite work. They tear easily and they get brittle and crack very quickly. The closures were flimsy and came off or broke very quickly. Glenda

Book Review - 101 Things to Do with a Cake Mix

Keeping Your Sanity With Chiggers
As far as using Rid, it is after you are bitten. At first I would rub it on and leave 10 minutes like the directions said, and then wash off, but got to the point where I just put it on the bites and left it. Must point out that it will stain clothes. As to...

Cake Mix Peach Cobbler
Thanks for the recipe! Sounds a lot like something I used to make called dump cake. But I think this recipe may be more economical, and I like the fact that it has oatmeal in it.

Storing Clothes?
I have used both vacuum bags and totes. The trouble with the bags was that it was very easy to make holes in them and after a while, they became brittle and cracked and developed holes anyway. To be fair, mine were exposed to high temperatures in our utility...
