Cheap Date Ideas?
Well, my husband and I do a lot of free/cheap stuff. We go to the mall (only good if you have the will the resist), we usually go play at Wal-mart...sounds silly, but we bond and I learn all about car stuff and electronics (yea) and we just walk around and...
Giving Medicine to a Cat?
I agree with trying tuna. Ive never known a cat to refuse it. They usually knock down who and whatever is in the way to get to it. Good luck!

Towels Smell Like Sulfur?
Try putting in a cup of white vinegar with the wash...Weve had to bath our dogs in the same stinky sulphur stuff, and vinegar cuts the smell. (I use hot water, too.)
Dog Urinating at Friend's House?
Well, Id say that he is just trying to mark territory. My male dog would pee in his chair after my husband would sit in it. Im sure its just that he is trying to establish some kind of place at your friends house. After I first got married, my dog even peed...
Hanging Vintage Clothing on Walls?
This may sound impossible, but you can use straight pins instead of nails. Just be delicate when first hammering each in (so it doesnt bend). Ive hung many framed pictures, hats, and even wooden decorations on straight pins...as for the actual display, maybe...
Decorating a Classroom for a Surprise Party?
Id say any kind of decoration would be great...but as a teacher (and especially when I was a student teacher) the most meaningful thing to me is (was) notes from students. In all their misspellings, strange grammar, and such--their words are the most meaningful...
Indestructible Dog Bed?
My dog did the same and eats everything along the way. Id be careful about letting your pup sleep on the shreds if she might eat them. Would she tear apart sheets or a hardy blanket like an army-type one? Maybe stroll through the fabric department at Wal-Mart...

One more idea. Get a big binder to keep everything organized. Different sections can be for keeping receipts; addresses of people to invite; contact numbers of the florist, church, dress place, etc; brainstorm ideas; things you need; things you have...and so...
Dog's Medication Smells Like Sulfur?
Is it LymDip by any chance? If so, my dogs are going through the same thing. I just opened the windows to air things out. Ive also been using some kind of air freshener that kills bacteria in the air...the smell should fade in a few days regardless. Good luck...
Helping My Husband Lose Weight?
How about changing some of the snacks you keep in the house? Or changing some of the dishes you make? I buy low fat mayo for my husband even though he fusses that he likes the full-fat kind better. Im the one who makes the sandwiches, so he eats the low fat...
Bridesmaid Dress Fabric Too Shiny?
I bet someone at a fabric shop or craft store may know of something to use. If you cant spray it or something, maybe a seamstress can sew some kind of slip in...I hope it doesnt become too stressful. I got married less than a year ago, and some things that...
Kitchen With Red Sink and Floors?
Try shades of green and gold/yellow to go with red. Or, you could use a red, white, and blue motif. Once you pick something, youll be surprised on the amount of stuff that you can find in that theme.
