Using Expired Cocoa Powder?
This is just my opinion, but I think that expiration dates are mainly for the protection of the companies that manufacture products. Its like most everything else - protection from liability. I have always smelled or tasted products that were out of date, and...
Read Ebay's Rules First
Thanks for this info. I am thinking about selling a few items on Ebay and info from an experienced seller is greatly appreciated.
Is AARP Membership Worth the Investment?
I joined AARP when I turned 50, but found that AARP and AAA discounts are almost the same and I always have AAA, so did not renew AARP.
Tire Marks on Linoleum Floor?
I have found that nail polish remover will remove black marks from many different surfaces. I dont keep track of what I use it on, just use it a lot to remove black marks. Guess you dont have anything to lose by trying it, lol. Just try a really small out-of...
How Do I Teach My Dog to Come When Called?
KansasCindy, I didnt think that you were taking credit for the concept of obedience training, so I hope I didnt upset you. You explained it very well, and it does work, but it takes time, and I agree with you that putting a 2 month time restraint is upsetting...
How Do I Teach My Dog to Come When Called?
I agree with KansasCindy about training, as I have also done obedience training with my dogs. But again, I emphasize that malamutes and huskies are running dogs, and as KansasCindy also said, until your dog is trained (if you are very dedicated and put lots...
How Do I Teach My Dog to Come When Called?
If you read about malamutes, you will find that they are a dog that is bred to run. It is in their genes to run, and I am not sure that you can train that out of them. We had a full-blooded malamute a number of years ago, and she was, as you describe yours...
Put Peg Board on Exposed Back of...
But it could be cork board as well, lol. Another good idea by accident!
Ferret Food Tips
When I got my first ferrets (4 rescues), I read that they could be very picky eaters. So I started them off on a mixture of several different ferret foods. (I read that if they only ate one kind and it became unavailable, they might literally starve themselves...
Grilled Potatoes
When I met my husband (some 35 or so years ago) he showed me how to make Pioneer Hash. It is this recipe, only you also add hamburger patties (you can make in individual wraps) and some worcestershire sauce and whatever other seasonings you like. You can also...

Cellphone Screen Blank White After Charging?
This happened to my daughters phone also. When we returned it, the cell phone people said that it was a software problem with the phone. They had to order a new phone for my daughter as there was no way to repair it. Hope this helps.

My Debit Card Was Stolen and Used Online?
The first thing I would do is change banks. This has happened to my husband and my joint account, and just recently happened to my daughter. We all bank at Charter Bank (in Ohio), (Citizens Bank in PA), and we went in to the bank and filed an afadavit, and...
Hair Coloring Reminder Date
Good idea, but I would have to remember to look in the closet at the box. I have a calendar book, and I keep track of my prescription refills, the time to color my hair, dog flea and heartworm meds, and anything else that I will inevitably forget if I dont...
Use Styrofoam Peanuts in Bottom of Hanging Baskets
This is a really good idea. The only thing to be sure of is that you dont buy the kind of peanuts that biodegrade in water. (I have ferrets, and I buy the biodegradable kind so that if they should eat any, it just dissolves. They play in them!) I guess there...
Cocker Spaniel Has Severe Allergies?
I had a cocker many years ago with the same problems. (We have had several cockers through the years, and she was the only one with this problem.) We did and tried everything, from what the vet recommended to anything else we could think of. I finally started...
Thinking of Getting a Malamute?
I have had many, many dogs in my many, many years (lol). One of them was an alaskan malamute that we rescued. We had our malamute for five years, and she was 10 years old when we got her. She was an absolutely wonderful dog, but there were a number of things...

Have You Bought a Car on eBay?
We bought a 1980 Mercedes from an individual in Los Angeles, CA. This was a toy for my husband, so my part of the deal was that I flew with a friend out to LA (I have relatives there that I visited) and then we drove the car back across the country. We had...
Buying a Bed?
I slept on a Tempurpedic for a week while on vacation, and if money was no object, that is the mattress I would go for. It was wonderful.
Beau and Molly (Bichon Frise)
I am a bit behind as it is Jan. and I am just now catching up on my internet reading. But I just had to tell you how cute your babies are. We have a bichon also, but he is just always dirty, lol. No matter what, as soon as he is clean, he gets dirty. Molly...
Opening Presents One At A Time
We have 16 year old twins. We have always opened one present at a time, as described. Similar to mawmawto4, this year I did not put names on presents because the kids have gotten to where they knew what they were getting by the box, etc. But instead of fictional...
Old Fashioned Mother and Daughter Tea
When my daughter was young (she is now 16 and has a twin brother), we would always have a tea party for Valentines Day. We invited her friends and their mothers, and all brothers were the servers. Everyone dressed in their best, and the theme was hearts and...
Good Dog Breed to be a Running Companion?
Alaskan Malamutes are wonderful dogs who love to run and run and run. However, they are not a breed of dog that just anyone can manage. They are loyal and protective, but require an owner who will leave no doubt as to who is in charge. But they will run forever...

Making Wrist Corsages?

Giving to the Goodwill
I once wondered about this exact issue, and I called and asked if certain items that I had (worn out clothing, specifically) should be thrown away. I was told by Goodwill that things are sorted, and that often, items that we would consider to be worn out are...
Do It Yourself Home Repair
Ronsan, I dont think that you can think of it as paying for his time. You were paying him for his knowledge, which was crucial in the repair. Thinking about it that way always helps me.
Gift Cards for Wedding Presents
I agree with Julia about Target. I purchased a Swiffer Wetjet and forgot to use the $5.00 coupon at purchase. I called the store when I got home, and whoever answered the call told me to bring it in the next time I came in. When I took it in, the store refused...
Changing to Diet Coke
I decided to stop drinking sodas and to only drink water about 8 months ago. Now the only thing that I can drink other than water is fresh squeezed orange juice, and I only drink that on occasion. Anything other than water tastes awful to me. Its all what you...
