    Anyone have any ideas on feather dusters? Either homemade or store bought? I was tempted to buy a swiffer magnetic duster this weekend, but thought I would see if the ss folks had any better ideas. I can use a damp rag for many things, but for time saving and convenience on things like...

    Toenail Fungus Remedy

    I wanted to share a toenail fungus remedy that I have found that works. A couple of years ago, I got a toenail fungus some how, and couldn't get rid of it. I refused to take Lamisil, and none of the things advertised as a cure for it, worked. None of them. So this is what I found that works...
