If you have a hardware or garden store near by, scoop some of the offending creatures into a jar, seal the jar tightly, double bag them and ask one of the experts at the store to help you identify them.

Once you know what you are dealing with, they can give you the best and safest solution to get rid of them so they stop preying on your punkin girl.

Hopefully there will be a natural solution vs. a chemical one because you have a small child in the house.

Whatever the solution, be sure to keep children and pets away from the area when you are treating it and for the recommended time frames. Good luck! Let us know what you learn!

It looks like a bedbug.

I don't know what it is called, but that is special for your daughter to be born 8/8 and also turning 8! :)

All about #8

Happy Early Birthday to your granddaughter!

I never heard an official name for it...we always called them lucky birthday. Turns out there is a whole wiki on birthdays and they are also called golden, grand, star, or champagne birthdays. The wiki link is below....if you scroll about 1/3 down you will see the explanation they give with all the names.

en.wikipedia.org/.../Birthday

Surprisingly since mine was MANY years ago, I remember it quite well! I thought it was WAY COOL!!

Its called a Beddian birthday.

You might consider Tiny Tots with tagline Where kids are loved a lot or Itsy Bitsy Daycare or Itty-Bitty Daycare: A special place for your little one

I personally would avoid Teeny Weeny for a variety of reasons.

Like Judy, I like alliteration like Tots and Toddlers Daycare with a tagline Nurturing the next generation today

Wishing you all the best in your new venture!!!!

I would go with an alliterative name, like Teeny Tots. A tag line could be teeny-tots where your child is loved lots!

So cool to see a kindred soul who finds cool re-uses for those cute and sturdy little blue mushroom containers!

Last year I shared a tip on the site about using them in kitchen drawers www.thriftyfun.com/Food-Packaging-as-Drawer-Organizers...

Your post has motivated me to pull out the extras and tackle some of my other messy spaces! Thanks for sharing!

I think Genny would be great, after your name Gen. !!

Hi and congrats and blessings on your new fur baby!!! What a sweet face! I love hound mixes!! They are awesome! Wishing you a beautiful future!

I am all about human names for fur babies....first and middle names.

How about a "g" name to go with yours? Like Ginny Lou or Gina Sue or Gemma Jo or Gigi Ann or Glinda Joy or Geri Jean. Or have the initials match yours.

Think about what you want to cool at her when she is good and holler out at her when she did something not so good, but funny nonetheless!

Enjoy!!!

How about Lucky? She is lucky you picked her!

She is absolutely adorable! Lucy, Daisy and Abby are popular names for female beagles. Personally, I think the names Sassy or Sasha would be good names for this little girl. I wouldn't worry too much about her ancestry. Love her, train her well and you'll have a loving, devoted friend to share your life with.

After several years trying to grow these, I finally gave up. I could grow them, Oh Yes, but they were never as large and beautiful as yours.

You should not put anything on your face that is not meant for human skin. There are chemicals in products that could either damage your skin or even poison you. Just buy the mask.

I don't know where my old post is picturing my ice dispenser tray and how it's made of a "shiney black plastic" which I couldn't use vinegar on it, as that would dull or matt out the shine of the plastic and I couldn't use anything that's abrasive...

so what I know will work for you in removing the calcium deposit left on your water dispenser is, try this, and I believe you'll not only be amazed, but you'll like how easy this solution is, plus, it won't damage the black plastic whatsoever.

Take a couple of paper towels and soak them with only
(bottled water), then lay them on top of the calcium deposits.
Allow that to lay on the plastic for at least 30 min. Then check
to see how easy the calcium deposits wipe right off. It doesn't matter if it's caked on there either, as I know, we have hard-hard
water here in NV, and this method works just TOO easily!

Just remember, if the paper towels "dry out" it can't work, so please leave them on top the deposits for at least 30 min. If 30 min doesn't rid ALL of it, leave it on another 15 min and then check it.

If you live in a large city (such as Atlanta) you may be able to sell the complete console - working or not working but it may be difficult if you live in a small community. The reason - shipping would be very costly so this should be a pick up only item.

• It would be best if you know what parts are working because that will always be the first question.
• I believe you may realize more money if you break it down and especially if the Bogen stereo is working. But these still sell even if working is unknown.
• The Garrard record player is not very rare and down not usually sell for much more than $30-$40 even if working as most people want a newer record player.
• There is some value to just a console cabinet as this can be used (or made into) other things but it may take a while to sell it.
• Most of these console cabinets listed for sale will be "pick up only" as the shipping/freight will be costly for this large an item.
• Here is a listing for a cabinet that was listed by a new seller who, I'm sure, did not realize what they were showing as shipping cost and if they sell this item as listed they could be losing money - no matter where they ship it.
• www.ebay.com/.../113077474321?hash=item1a53f15411...
• Here are some listings that may give you an idea as to how to list if you decide to try and sell each piece.
• www.ebay.com/.../401553987012?_trkparms=aid%3D222007...
• www.ebay.com/.../273309670988?_trkparms=aid%3D222007...
• Here is a link that shows items that actually sold and what people paid. I am not sure about how the age and condition any of these compare with yours.
• www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_nkw=bogen+receiver&LH_Sold...
• I believe if it were me trying to sell this unit, I would clean it up, check out as much as possible for working condition, take at least 5 or 6 good pictures and post it on local Craigslist, IOffer, 4Sale, LetGo and any other local selling site for $300-$400 dollars and keep it listed for at least 4-6 weeks and reduce it if no shows an interest.
• I may finally have to take it apart, but, maybe not...

Even with a certificate of authenticity, these dolls are worth very little.

If you decide not to try to sell her, you may want to consider asking around to see if a church, Habitat for Humanity or another organization who work with families, either in or recovering from a crisis, knows of a child who would love a doll of her or his own. I am a strong believer that every child should have a special toy that is just theirs. Since most mass produced dolls have little market value, this gesture gives them huge morale and karma value. Just some food for thought! Thanks!

This, like many other collector dolls, is mass-produced and hardly worth anything.

Companies mass produce these dolls in all sizes, styles and "collections" so they have a very low value as they are so plentiful.

• If you had submitted a picture it is possible someone may have been able to pinpoint a sale of doll like yours but there are several "Maggie Collections" and also several "Forever Friends" and these are made by different companies but basically, most all of these dolls have approximately the same value.
• eBay is the main doll selling site (in the world) so this is usually where research for doll values will begin. Only the actually "sold" listings can be used as asking prices can be all over the place and dolls are very slow sellers even at very low prices.
• These dolls generally sell for $8 to $25 but sellers may have them listed for months and months (I recently saw where a Maggie Collection doll had been listed for over 3 years (listed at $14) and still not sold.
• I am going to list some links that you can check to see if any of these dolls are in the same collection as yours.
• www.shopgoodwill.com/.../52224819
• This is a similar doll from the "Forever Friends" but from the Pamela Collection - same company and about same value but listing price and not sold.
• picclick.com/Forever-Friends-Collectible-Porcelain...
• You can look for your particular doll on Google, eBay, Etsy, iOffer, Letgo, or your local Craigslist as you will recognize your doll from the listings/pictures.
• If you decide to try and sell your doll, I would suggest you try listing her on your local sites like Craigslist, LetGo, 4Sale, or any other site that has local listings.
• Dolls usually sell faster on local sites as the person can see the doll and there is no high shipping cost involved.

I think it is a rat snake

It is hard to tell from the photos. My suggestion is to contact your local vet and ask for input or a recommendation for a vet who knows reptiles.

Snakes are pets just like dogs and cats and benefit from having an established relationship with a vet who is experienced with the species. A good vet will help you with feeding needs, habitat needs, and troubleshooting any challenges.

Good luck! Blessings on your new slithering child! :)

Put a want ad on Freecycle or Craigslist

Usually the best places to seek help with items like this is to check Craigslist and Freecycle.

• Since this request is for a "specialty" item there may not be anything on either of these sites but you can place a free ad on both sites asking for help obtaining these tires.
• You should explain why you cannot afford to purchase them yourself or if you can pay a small amount.
• You can also place a request on Nextdoor as this is a site in your area and your neighbors may be able to help.
• nextdoor.com/.../
• You might also check with churches in your area as they sometimes will put notices on their bulletin boards.
• You may be able to check local tire shops to see if they have any used tires at a reduced cost but I do not believe you will find any free tires.
• I am not familiar with any charity agency that helps with this type of thing but maybe someone else will have more information for you.
• It is a good size fee to place tires on a vehicle and in Florida, most tire services will no longer put used tires on a vehicle as they have to be responsible for knowing the tires are road safe and most no longer perform this service. They will only put tires purchased at their shop on any vehicle.

The small holes in my shirts are always in the same spot of all my tops. My exterminator has done everything possible. Even took some of the shirts to dept of agriculture. Spits wouldnt always b in same spot if caused by of the things mentioned. Its driving me crazy and costing lots money. We must find the problem

When reading your question, I could not help but smile - I was just wondering why you waited all this time for your beautiful lilac to bloom and never asked the question before? I smiled because I have been guilty of almost the same thing - only with another type of plant..

• I do know there are several reasons why your Lilac is not blooming but you will have to check each suggestion to see if any one of them fit your problem.
• Many people tend to add "more" fertilizer when a plant is not blooming and many times (I have been told) that is the reverse of what is needed.
• Lilac bushes that won't bloom could be the result of too much nitrogen. Because of this, you should not fertilize your lilacs. They do not need much in the way of nutrients, and fertilizing can cause a lilac to take up too much nitrogen, which keeps the lilac bush from blooming.
• Planted in the wrong area where the bush does not receive enough sunshine can also be a problem as well as improper pruning or pruning at the wrong time.
• Check out these sites for suggestions and maybe one "cause" will be your problem. Hope it is an easy one to fix.
• www.gardeningknowhow.com/.../lilac-bush-not-blooming.htm
• gardenersnet.com/.../lilac08.htm

Lilacs bloom on young wood. You should prune it back. It may affect blooming for a couple of years, but it will bloom again.

There does not seem to be any of this pattern currently listed for sale but that could change at any time so you may have to set up a schedule to check eBay and Etsy every 2-3 weeks just in case a roll is posted.

• The only recent listing that recently sold was an eBay seller in the UK and she does not list very much but you could try contacting her just in case she happens to find another roll.
• www.ebay.com/.../162998558912?hash=item25f378a0c0...
• Here is another shop in the UK that you might try contacting just in case they happen to have a roll.
• www.lauraashley.com/.../3519532
• it appears that more Laura Ashley wallpaper is sold in the UK than in the US.
• I usually suggest to Google Laura Ashley wallpaper stores with zip code and either call or visit these stores to see if anyone has a roll stashed in the back somewhere. If nothing local then you can Google Laura Ashley wallpaper stores without zip code and start calling any store listed. This is time consuming but if you really, really want this pattern this may be the only way to find it.

It looks like this vendor on eBay sold some recently. You could either contact the seller and see if he/she has more OR follow them as a seller and see if they list additional lots in the future:

www.ebay.com/.../162998558912?hash=item25f378a0c0...

While I don't see a currently listing for the pattern (at least by name) on Etsy, there are (today) 37 Laura Ashley patterns listed on that site!

Wishing you the best in your quest!

People have had success putting want ads on Freecycle and Craigslist. You can also put alerts on eBay and Amazon.

Oh! I forgot to mention - fresh tomatoes with scrambled eggs!!!
Just the best, especially if just picked from the garden.

Scrambled eggs with my favorite - Greek yogurt - sounds like my kind of dish.
As an aside: have you ever tried pepper vinegar with your scrambled eggs? Very different but I like it; maybe because it reminds me of "earlier" times...

It sounds like rust in your water that could be caused by well water pipes/pump, washer drum, hot water heater/pipes, or older pipes in your house.

• You do not say if this is a "new" house/apartment (to you) or how long this has been happening so solutions may be mainly guessing.
• I have seen this happen (sporadically) when a home has well water and the only solution there is either new pipes in well (and maybe a new pump) or a very good water conditioner/softener and either one is usually expensive.
• You will have to read all suggestions/solutions and maybe see if any one of them could apply to your problem.
• Suggestions for removing the rust stains from your already washed clothes (that hopefully have not been in dryer):
• If you want to try and remove rust stains from your clothes, do not dry them first. Heat stabilizes the rust stains and makes them nearly impossible to eliminate from any type of clothing.
• Try one of these steps to remove rust stains:
• Immediately rewash clothes using a heavy duty detergent in clear water.
• Use a commercial rust eliminator such as Iron-Out or Rit rust remover. These items contain hydrofluoric or oxalic acid compound that loosens rust from most fabrics.
• Make sure these clothes are thoroughly rinsed because any acid remaining will deteriorate clothes. In addition, these rust removers are only intended for colorfast material or white clothing.
• Here are links that have other suggestions for removing iron spots:
• www.clean-organized-family-home.com/rust-stains-on-clothes.html
• www.thespruce.com/how-to-remove-rust-stains-2147064
• If none of the suggestions sounds like your problem, I would suggest you capture a large jar of your water and take it to a store that sells water softeners and ask them to check it for you. Some stores will test it for free but others may try to sell you a kit.
• There are other places to have your water tested but some will be trying to sell you their system.
• www.culligan.com/
• There are also some government agencies that test water under certain conditions so check out your state.
• www.epa.gov/.../contact-information-certification...
• There is no way to stop the spotting until you find out what is causing it so check out some of the other suggestions as your water may still have more rust deposits going into your washer.

It might be the water. Maybe try running a vinegar rinse cycle.

I did only use a small amount of garlic (tasting later) but then if who I see tomorrow is Italian? maybe the 3 cloves would not matter..

Greek yogurt is my favorite dip and I have added other stuff but never tried all of these.
I have just picked my first lime from my dwarf lime tree and was wondering how to use it - and - up pops just the thing.
Now if I can just keep from adding more calories than called for, I should be in business for snack time later today.
Work inside in heat of the day so I can make and enjoy new treats later.
thanks for photos and clear easy to follow instructions.

This sounds delish, can't wait to make this, Thanks!!!

Do you have a photo you can post?

Not seeing an example, I can share that when I had an issue with small bugs swarming in my house, it was from a bag of potatoes I forgot about that attracted a swarm of fruit flies. Once the bag was gone, the problem was gone!

This site has a lot of folks who are great at home remedies for insect removal....but we have to know what we are up against, as some solutions work better than others depending on the critter!

If you have more info or photos, please let us know!

Without a picture it is hard to say for sure but I think they are a type of gnat. Spray with insecticide

I very much urge you to try a product called Infusium. Forty years ago, I damaged my hair from a perm. I mean it killed my hair. No pick or brush would go through it. I discovered Infusium and I've used it several times through the years when my hair was damaged. You can find it at Walmart, Target, and Walgreens, almost always on the bottom shelf - it's not a well-known product. This product is made for damaged hair and I have to tell you, it's really, really good. I do so hope this helps.

Tartan Tots.....Where colorful play times develop creative children

Off to a good start with Tartan!

If it is happening at night while you are sleeping in a bed I would advise checking for "bed bugs". Do a" Google" search on how to get rid of them.

There is an interesting article about no-see ums in your area:

www.edhat.com/.../mesa-no-see-ums

I wonder if that is what you are experiencing.

You didn't mention if it was only when you were in bed or outside or in a certain room in the house, so it may not be what you are dealing with, but it was interesting.

I am always concerned for people with bites scratching and getting an infection. Be very careful to notice the area and if you get prolonged (a day or two) redness or the site is warm for a day or two, talk to a doctor immediately to make sure it is not an infection.

In this case, safety first with your health and then figure out what is causing it as you proceed! I will step off my healthy you soapbox now :)

A neighbour may have pets with fleas. They can travel over.

Cute and super thrifty!

YUM!!! Thanks for sharing! I am going to share with my hubby, who is our cook! I love all things potatoes!

This sounds like a good way to use up extra potatoes (frozen months ago) and no frying!
I may wait until my weather cools off but I'm sure that I will try this method later.
Thanks for sharing your "research" recipe.

We had the same issue when our maple was removed it's overhang left a huge bare spot in our spruce. It looked terrible.

Sadly grafting is very challenging and fraught with failure (and danger if you are up on a ladder trying to get it done). It is NOT impossible...just challenging. You may want to talk to your local garden center to get their feedback on the best methods for your climate, if you are so game.

We had someone suggest just to plant another tree next to it to cover up the bald spot...ummm...that defeated the purpose of removing the maple whose roots were causing issues...didn't want another tree...but I guess for some people if it is a cosmetic fix it might work. Someone actually did a YouTube video on it (NO, not my friend...although I wouldn't put it past him) www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5eS6Nbb8_A

In our case, we just let it go and eventually (2 full seasons) the spot filled itself in almost perfectly. Mother nature has the best solutions sometimes!

Good luck!

Try getting another branch to fill in that bare spot. Take a tie (from a bread wrapper) and cox it over to the bar spot and wait a while for it to naturally take hold itself.

This is the website that my friend who caters recommended for helping figure out how to calculate food for a big party (it wasn't a wedding, but she likes this site).
myweddingreceptionideas.com/self_catering_calculating_wedding_reception_food...

After looking this over and knowing we are "food pushers" (here--take some leftovers home for dinner...eat...eat!) when we did our big party a few years ago, we went 1 1/2 times what they recommended and for us that worked out great! There were some (but not too many) leftovers. To me always better to have more than not enough.

So if I am doing the math right...it is 12 ounces per person to be generous x 300 people = 3600 ounces or 102 kilo....sorry, I have a math injury from high school...I hope I carried my numbers correctly!

If for some reason you need a plan B or plan C or plan D, your town has other options. There is this interesting link with a lot of info about available programs:

www.atlantaga.gov/.../limited-home-repair-services

If you are a member of a church or other religious entity, talk to them to see if they have programs that may help you. Some even have discretionary funds available for emergencies or groups of skilled members who pitch right in and help do the work without charge!

Since you have a computer, if you still need financial help, you can always try a Go Fund Me account and place your story your social media and ask for assistance. The only caveat about this is depending on how much you ask for it may be counted as taxable income. Some libraries offer free tax advice...so you would want to consult with them to verify this number. You can also call the IRS directly to ask for help www.irs.com/.../contact-the-irs
(Be aware that sometimes the phone wait is long, but the people have always been very nice and quite helpful!)

A last place to turn if you encounter red tape or have issues is your local state representative (senator) and ask for help. Help from these entities is paid for by tax money so there should be no charges www.senate.ga.gov/.../FindyourLegislator.aspx

You need to follow the link and enter your zip code to find out who is your senator and where he/she is located. Ours is conveniently on a bus line. They have an amazing array of services and most even have notary services without charge. It is a very valuable resource for anyone who needs help!

Sending up prayers that you find the assistance you need!!!

Put all the information you have on a search in "Google". Also go on eBay it is possible that like chairs are listed for sale.

I would do a search on eBay, put in exactly what you are looking for. Also Craigslist put in a "wanted" and see if you get any answers.

All depends if you have relatives or close friends who would like them. You could also donate them to a thrift shop.

I would recommend ONLY feeding you Gold Fish -------fish food.

Magic Eraser is the best cleaner that I have found for anything. They are a little pricey for all of the ways that I use them, but they revolutionized cleaning bathrooms and removing stains!

It will feel weird for a day or two and then that feeling should go away. A tiny dab of a cream (moisturizer) meant for your face my help take the "edge" off of it (reduce the finger feel to it) if you really want to, but it is best just to let it go naturally. If you feel there are ingrown hairs and it is getting infected...that is a whole different issue...watch for warmth and redness and talk to your doctor if it persist. DO NOT mess with infections!! SAFETY FIRST! If you are able to, try an antibiotic cream on any sore spots to prevent infection.

It makes me crazy that society makes us gals self conscious of things like this and wish it didn't...but this "what is beautiful and what is not" is as old as the ages. Maybe it is my age (OLD), but I say embrace every unique part of you and don't try to change it!!! You are beautiful because you are YOU!!! Flaunt it!!

It's only because they have a rough edge, but it will lay down flat as it grows.

Thank you all for your responses and your help. Checked out all that you mentioned... We decided to move the freezer to the garage.

Grabbed a cooler we used before to defrost it...there was a smaller cooler inside....it was on the top shelf of the rack in the hallway with the freezer.

Opened the cooler and the stench took my breath away. There were 2 smaller coolers in there - one was open - the other was not. Pulled them out and noticed the one that was closed was heavy.

It was also the one that contained a turkey breast that never made it back into the freezer after we defrosted it....

So.... as stupid as we both felt for having missed it - we are grateful the source has been found - and grateful for all your kind assistance.

If you have a cat, is it possible the cat did pee in the area? Cats can make themselves small to get into small spaces and that pee smell can linger even after cleaning...getting worse on humid days.

If not cat, then you may want to check to see if the drainage plug at the bottom of the freezer (if your freezer is like mine) is clean...from top to end. It can cause a huge stench if gunk gets trapped there (and it can go to the run off hose also). Follow your freezer's directions to clean that out and hopefully that is the solution.

If all is clear, what is the floor made of? If it is wood, is it possible there is a dead animal under the floor boards? Mice are tricky little buggers and squeeze themselves into small spaces and get stuck.

One last thing...are you the only one who smells it? I only ask because I have had sinus infections and smelled "garbage" for days and hubby didn't. I finally figured out what was going on (I had no cold symptoms) and when the doctor put me on an antibiotic after confirming the infection the smell disappeared.

Good luck!! Smells are such a stinking (yes, pun intended) challenge.

My first thought is to check to make sure the new filter is seated correctly...which is a simple test of take it out and put it back in. This is usually my issue when I change something and it causes an issue. My problem is I usually can't hear the snap or click made when something is in right and I just assume...which is bad.

That said, if it is snapped in right, you may want to use their site's troubleshooting and contact info and go right to the horse's mouth for answers (so to speak):

producthelp.whirlpool.com/.../How_to_troubleshoot_the_ice_maker

I have used their contact info for my washer and found them quite helpful! Hope you get it fixed quickly! On these hot days (at least where I am), ice is important!!

I am a "thrifter" to my core and just use a clean cotton dish rag with VERY hot tap water for every day wipe downs. I will have to get a small bottle of peroxide on sale and try it for deep cleaning days. Thanks for sharing.

Peroxide? Great idea nice idea

The picture is a little blurry for me....with that V on the back, it may be a carpet beetle (this site has a clear pix of one--forgive the ICK factor):

www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1&biw...:

Seeing one I usually don't panic. If you see more, you may want to give the house a good cleaning as they can eat carpet and other stuff around the house and you don't want that to happen.

For most cases, there is not a need for the pros to get rid of them or use any harsh chemicals. This site gives basic steps for the DIY removal:

www.getridofthings.com/.../

This can help. But I warn anyone who is afraid of spiders, it's the first thing you see.

https://www.insectidentification...

The other thing with turkey buzzards is turkey buzzard droppings (AKA poop). It is possible there is a large amount of yuck on the roof and that is what you are smelling.

Is it possible to hose down the roof with a pressure washer (a regular hose most likely won't be useful if it is baked in from sun/weather)? If not, a good rain (or a few good rains) may wash it away on its own. That would be the ideal if you can't get to the roof to clean it. SAFETY FIRST with any roof jobs!!!

Good luck! Bad smells are a stinking nightmare (sorry for the bad pun)!

There was one completed auction on eBay recently where the seller started at 100 dollars plus 71.18 plus shipping and accepted best offer. www.ebay.com/.../253459075914?hash=item3b0356934a...

Unfortunately all this tells you is it sold and that the actual selling price could have been 1 cent to 1 cent under asking price...with or without shipping.

I suggest checking back to eBay (to the SOLD auctions only) periodically to see what they fetch on average to help you decide if you want to sell yours. They are heavy and that makes them a challenge to sell/ship even with USPS media mail.

As a true thrifter...I always find ways to get some value out of the seemingly not valuable or hard to sell.

If your intent is to sell and you are at all artsy...and don't mind deconstructing books....there are folks do well making lamps out of old encyclopedias OR deconstructing them and framing and selling some of the neater or more unusual pages.

Check out these two Pinterest pages (I wish they were my creations...lately I haven't had the time...but I keep these as inspirational pins):

goo.gl/.../DAkByx

www.etsy.com/.../ruff-necked-hummingbird-jj-audubon...

There are so many neat things you can do with old books. When I was very, very young, my (now late) dad hollowed out an old book and that is where he kept his "valuables". Years later, I saw similar "safes" selling on Etsy for in the $15-20 range!

I hope this gives you some ideas for "value"!

I am not seeing any on eBay at the moment either in completed or sold. To get a national market value, I suggest checking back to the SOLD auctions periodically to see what people are actually getting for them (selling price plus shipping since buyer pays shipping).

Value is based on an apples to apples comparisons, so your 1959 may be worth X, but a 1960 may only be worth Y. Also if yours is excellent it may be worth XX, while a poor one my fetch AA.

That said, these are a challenge to sell online because they are a challenge to pack and ship.

Interestingly enough, the parts for these type of mowers are still fetching nice amounts. While this one doesn't give the year of the piece, a pulley alone fetched $30.75 (that is minus shipping and fees but still!).

I have learned from experience that in some cases, you can take an old item apart and sell the parts off for a MUCH bigger profit than if you sold it as a whole. This is because people who restore their items like the thrill of finding original parts for the fix.

It is a bit sacrilegious to do this to an item in excellent condition...but for those whose goal is to turn a profit...it can be rewarding. Yep, it is a strange world out there!

If you kept your eggs in a container as airtight and thick as the milk, they would not freeze, surely. I think it's because air gets through to the eggs because of their more flimsy packaging. There are two spots in my fridge that I've learned my eggs freeze: in the back and in the middle front. It's all about the circulation shift. Find the place where they don't get as cold, or switch their containers out.
