Getting Rid of Rats?
You can also get rat poison in a solid block form. I do this because I have dogs. I put it out at night with wire fencing around it. The fencing has large enough openings for the rats to get through, but not my dogs heads. ( I only do this because the dogs...
Trap Dust At Air Vents
Well, the Bounce sheets flow away from the vent, so it does not restrict the flow, but it does direct it more downward. Ive also heard from people that have had their ducts cleaned and said it wasnt worth the trouble or the money, plus the fact that Ive been...
Unplug For a While
Heck no. I havent cut back the time I spend watching FoxNews or on the internet during this precarious time in our nations history. I do not spend time tweaking and telling people I dont even know what Im having for dinner. I study. Now, more than ever, we...
Removing an Odor from an Antique Doll?

Buy some black pepper from the $1 store and spread it liberally where the dog usually enters your yard. I use it on my porch when my neighbors cats start spraying my door. It keeps them away from quite awhile. You will have to reapply it if you water, if it...
Cleaning Non-Stick Cookware?
If it is on the outside of the pot or pan, use oven cleaner. If it is on the inside, a bounce or other dryer sheet will loosen stuck on stuff. Just put it in the pan, fill with water and leave overnight.
Use Your Bicycle For Everything
Its nice to see recumbents becoming so popular. I started with the EZ1 and now ride an EZ Sports AX. My only wish is that more cities and drivers would become bicycle friendly. Attached is my bike with my best buddy, Raleigh (named after a brand of bike). Hes...
My Frugal Life: Car Free
Nice to hear from another recumbent rider! I ride as much as I can, but the drivers here have no respect for bikes and the city doesnt keep the sidewalks in decent order. Ive uploaded a photo of my bike (EX Sports AX) and my best buddy. What kind of trike do...
Dog With Loose Stool?
I belong to some dog sledding groups that swear by canned pumpkin, not the spiced kind, for both diarrhea and constipation. I have had some success with it, but I think going the Acidophilus route is good. There are combinations that have Acidophilus plus other...
Puppy Has Worms?
Get him to the vet. I once tried to save money by doing it myself with a grown dog. Sargents almost killed her. The vet was amazed that she lived. And remember, puppies are much more delicate than a grown animal. Get him to the vet.
