Save Money By Baking Your Own Bread
The method I use for knowing when my bread dough is ready is as follows. First, knead the dough until it is no longer sticky and you dont need flour to keep it from sticking to your hands or kneading surface. Second, it should feel like a babys bottom, somewhat...
Ink Pen Melted on the Dryer?
If the ink is on the dryer, use alcohol to remove it. The stain may not be removable. I would try a Magic Eraser to remove that. If the pen itself melted, I would get the dryer checked. It is getting too hot to be safe.
Make Soda Go Twice As Far By Adding Water

Easy Teen Curfew Clock
To go one step further, I told my daughter that if she was 1 minute late without a call to me, then she would lose her car keys for one day. Each time she was late, the penalty doubled. She has been late only twice. She is now 19 and she knows what a deadline...

Treating Hyperhidrosis in Children?

Dog is Eating Cat Poop?
My dog did the same thing and I solved the problem by using a covered litter box and setting it with the opening facing the wall. The cat had enough room to get in, but the dog had no access.
