I have sinus infections ALL the time. These infections would send me to bed with sever pain, my eye would swell so large that it looked as it would come out of the socket, it was flame red and it weeped constantly. Going outside into the sun was not an options---just going from the house to car...

I might get banned on this site...but I have a bit of OCD, with washing--I shower at least once a day and wash my hair. I also wash the sheets, towels, dishtowels/clothes after each use. I KNOW it's very wasteful but it really freaks me out when I don't.. I have really tried over and over not...

I read that these wool sweaters could be used as cushions for your clogs--just cut them to fit into your shoes and they are great for warmth and 'bounce'! Also, how about making mittens from them??? Place your hand on the sweater --with your wrist at the them hemmed edge and trace--leaving...

A few weeks ago, a friend who is redoing a cottage style house, asked me to go with her to see what I thought of it.. While there I commented on a beautiful pair of French doors and windows that matched. She said she was going to throw them in the dump....I grabbed them up. They are in perfect...

I would say we are #1....My dh grew up 'dirt-poor', he knows how to be frugal/tight, he's a work-aholic, he can do/build/repair- just about anything--either self taught or learned because his family had nothing extra. On top of all that he is a pack-rat. He doesn't want to give/throw or donate...

I love bread pudding but with garlic?? LOL It's really good bread, I too love tough bread but this will break a tooth I am afraid... :D I'll have to try making bread crumbs.. I'll put it in my food processor--I had not thought of that.. Italian bread crumbs!

I have a large loaf of really, really stale garlic bread. It is so hard I have a terrible time trying to cut it for toast, when it's toasted it is so tough we can't chew it.. I am determined to do SOMETHING with it..LOL. I tried soaking a few slice in some milk and it was so hard I threw it out...

Some will get a basket with my honey, plum/apple/grape/ fig jelly/jams. I have decided to make large shopping bags and put something on them about 'being green' for my dd's--if I can find some nice canvas. I am going to make calendars with pictures of the kids (now all adults) when they were...

I have three freezers and love having them. I have fruits and veggies in one, meat (we have our own beef) in another and I have baked goods, dried things,butter, flour, cornmeal, left overs, and my bee's wax in the third one. I can tell no difference in the electric bill (ours are in the...

I have some kitchen knives that were my mom's, they can be sharpened and hold an edge, from the late 40's.. Everytime my (adult) children help in the kitchen, they want my knives... I have my grandmother's sifter, works like a charm. I have old cast iron frying pans, that I would never part...

My last roll has been on the holder for three weeks and there are still a few on the roll.. I have started handing dh a cheap hand towel instead of p-towels. Two yrs. ago I purchased three dozen for two dollars at an estate sale (all but two still had the tags on them). I do love the pt under...

We haven't been to the groc store for three weeks--trying to eat from our freezers/pantry.. I scanned the paper today and bread was over $2.50 a loaf :o ! Milk is almost 5$ a gal.. I do not know how people with large families and no garden, beef or chickens will make it..

When things, that come in tubes, are down to the 'last drop' and I can't squeeze anything out.. I get a pair of scissors and cut the bottom out of the tube and squeeze it out the bottom, I use a pcs of foil over cut end.. When I can no longer squeeze it out the cut end----I slit it up the side...

The key to refilling those foam pump bottles is not to over fill the bottle. It needs air in the bottle to produce the foam... Beekissed: I used stand the :barnie over boys and fingerprints!! I thought I was through with having to wash everything --but now my dh holds our grands up to the...
