The plastic ridge that held the handle mount in the hole is totally gone on one side. I can use a fork to put it on and off, if that is safer, but the hole is almost 2 inches in diameter, so I lose a lot of steam when cooking. I may try the super glue if it is safe, just using it ON TOP of the...

I need to put the mount for a handle back on a pan lid. I'm thinking super glue. Food safe it probably is, but when heated, does it give off fumes? Or does anyone have a better suggestion. My biggest frugality - fixing things instead of buying new. And when I buy, it's usually a garage sale...

I've been hanging my clothes dry for years. I use the dryer to fluff and remove cat/dog hair from towels, or to preshrink fabric. If I don't replace my broken washing machine I might be hand-washing - but only the light stuff. My blue jeans need a washer, I get VERY dirty at work or in the...

The thin egg shell and laying problems actually started in early summer 2011 - when we had 13 hours of daylight and very warm temps. If that helps. Temps hit 100 in June and pretty much stayed there.

Most of the hauled off stoves end up with local charities, and most homes built in the remodeling craze age group are all-electric. (which Texas then generates with dirty coal, go figure) I gave away one electric range, don't want another one. I will look around as I have time, I have put a...

I may not be providing the right visualization. It would be great if I could get an apartment sized free standing stove with range top, but the odds on that aren't good. Most homes around here are in the vicinity of 50 years old or less, and were built by developers. Which means what is likely...

They laid all last winter, our days aren't that short, but my 4 production reds (and my barred rock) are nearing 2 years old. They still lay, but with all of the oyster shell calcium in the dish, layer feed, cutting out treats, the only way to get HARD eggs seems to be feeding them yogurt or...

Thank you for all of the great tips. The importance of an oven has faded for the moment, in view of the economy, the truck situation, and the bills. (Thanksgiving being over has also made it less urgent, I baked at my daughter's.) Personally I would brick it in to make it nice. I watch way too...

Someone is taking eggs to the feed store and selling them, I got a dozen good eggs from there for $1.75 a week ago, mixed white, brown and green, and tasty. Feed store ran out Wednesday. I paid $1.99 for a dozen extra large eggs at brookshires over the weekend. If my production reds don't...

Well we have the trucking company name. I have not hired a lawyer. It was Knight Trucking. I have Allstate insurance, including uninsured motorist and medical protection. I do not have a broken rib, just pulled muscles the floating lower ribs attach to. I am a veteran of the Tilt-a-Whirl - today...

I've done medicine wheels, a healing circle using Jesus and Mary as God and Goddess for someone who could only approach via that direction, chanted with the buddhists and carry multiple initiations. I really like Shinto too. I believe the word that describes me is "eclectic". (unitarian...

Well, prior to my truck wreck tightening my already tight budget, I planned to empty one room at a time, sand down the hardwood floor in it with a power sander, and polyurethane my floors. We have mild spells when the windows could be open for 24 hours and the stove is not needed. I am NOT hand...

I hope I heal quickly and well too ! I still have my kitchen dismantled.

Great stuff on here. I don't use enough coffee to get many coffee cans anymore, but I don't throw them out. One is on my counter top holding compost to go to the compost pile, another holds my trim paint brush, cut off soda bottle of water to dip the brush, paint stirrer, and a scoop for...

Well, Another day, a little progress. My daughter brought her truck out, instead of renting a vehicle I'll put a little work in on hers, and a couple of used tires promptly. Still haven't had an x-ray on the rib, do have an appointment for in the morning. I need to know if it is broken before I...

Old truck, just a seat belt, and the soreness isn't from the seat belt, but it might be from the steering wheel as I started to spin. The direction my coffee spilled would also be the direction my body was pulled, and in a counterclockwise spin, that accounts for the soreness. Cracked rib, at...

I called 911 immediately, police officer finished filing the report from his car while I was in it, staying warm, waiting for my tow truck. I started my insurance claim along side the highway, and followed up with them this evening. Is it slander to say who it was? No plate number, but he...

Hi again everyone. All plans are slowed down a bit. A semi in a hurry knocked 6 cars around today. My small truck was one of them, I was in it. I seem to be ok, truck is totaled, and the truck driver took off, so cash for home improvements is likely to be scarce while I wait for my insurance...

Well before I go buying solar, money has to roll in the door, which it is not inclined to do at this time of year. So I am preparing to build an Earth Oven - shouldn't have to buy as much stuff for it. And at the moment, laundry is on the laundromat plan, unless I luck out and all that is wrong...

Galanie, An infusion just doesn't have the potency of an essential oil. As far as I know the leaves are used in the essential oil, which it turns out is essential to bee-charming. Gypsi
