Value of Brinn Doll?
When I first retired in mid-85s, I got hooked on the doll collections sold on hsn.com. I bought several Brinn, Heritage, etc., and dont expect them to have become more valuable. So now I am taking these dolls, crocheting neat clothes for them, and hopefully...

Update on Brother Sewing Machine

I too have used a phone directory, but honestly, it becomes a pain to keep opening for the information. My opinion would be to use the password sentence alpha; type a list and attach to side of computer. I am also a loner now. Thanks for sharing all your ideas...
Keeping Track of Medications
Yes, I too mark my meds with a 1X for morning, 2X for twice a day, and B/T for bedtime. Wish I had thought of this 15 yrs ago. I do carry a list of meds, but this last doctor visit I handed him a folder with a contents page of why I was there/medications/bg...

Removing Oil Stains from Garage Floor?
From my previous experiences and suggestions, my boys say either vinegar solution or clorox should do the job. You may have to repeat a couple times. When you remove the problem, there is a neat sealer at Home Depot. My son rolled the paint and my dil spread...
