Girl Next Door

Now that sounds interesting! I was going to make the home-made dishwasher soap before my store bought bottle ran out, but this would be so much easier. My dishwasher soap cup has 2 sides, one that you close, and one side is open. would you put a dollop in each side? No, Ma'am. Just a dollop in the side you close works fine.

I wish I could remember who first posted this, so, I can thank them personally. I always use dishwashing detergent and a wash cloth to clean my dishes well to prepare them for the dishwasher. Lately, I have started using a dime sized dollop of that same dishwashing liquid (Dawn, Joy, Palmolive, etc). in the soap cup of the dishwasher instead of dishwasher detergent. I save $7-$8 per bottle on dishwasher detergent and no spotty dishes. I happen to use Palmolive. I am told you must not use a bleach formula detergent or use too much. A dime sized spot will do you. I did not believe it, either until I tried it.

I hear tell sometimes they can catch a turtle, tho.

Using high-tech gear like that can make just about anybody a successful hunter. But it also strips away the fun and challenge that hunters are craving in the first place. That's why, according to a Wall Street Journal report, there is a retro-chic movement among hunters to shift from space age to stone age in their approach. A growing number of hunters have started crafting their own weapons, such as spears and arrows with tips made from stones, and they have been effective enough to bag deer, coyotes, elk, wild boar and alligators. As evidence of the increasing popularity for old-school hunting, the chief executive of Primitive Archer tells the Journal that his magazine's circulation is up 25 percent in the past five years, to roughly 30,000, at a time when many print publications have struggled to retain readership. Although the low-tech approach gives the animals more of a sporting chance, it hasn't escaped criticism. The Humane Society is concerned that animals can be injured but do not die when struck with a primitive weapon. State governments are also not on board, with many banning the use of stone-tipped projectiles. Even in Montana, a state known for its rugged spirit, a state bill to legalize spear hunting died in committee. Massachusetts restricts spear hunting for eels, carp and sucker fish. In Texas, there is a campaign to legalize hand fishing, which would allow you to reach into the water and wrestle the fish out with your hands. This technique, known as noodling, grabbing or hogging, is currently illegal and classified as a class C misdemeanor, with fines of up to $500. Noodlers wade into the water, then reach into holes, hollow tree trunks and other underwater nooks to find the fish. The Journal spotlighted a 30-year-old outdoor enthusiast named Brady Knowlton, who raved about his experience of catching a 60-pound catfish by hand: Nothing beats "the heebie-jeebies you get underwater, in the dark, with this little sea monster biting you." The opposition to the proposed noodling legislation comes from traditional rod-and-reel fishermen. They cite unfairness to the fish, which doesn't have a chance to swim away because it is being ambushed in their burrows. They are also concerned that widespread noodling could deplete the fish population in smaller lakes and rivers. If the bill becomes law in Texas, it would still only be the 18th state to sanction hand fishing. Louisiana, Georgia and Oklahoma are among the states that allow it. Hand fishing enthusiasts say that their technique, which Native Americans developed and passed along to settlers, is the purest form of fishing because of direct contact between man and fish. There are subtle differences among hand fishers -- the glove vs. no-glove debate -- but one noodler tells the Journal that the key is getting a handle on the tail: "If you don't get that tail immobilized, I don't care how big or strong you are, you're not going to whip that fish."

Why nt use it to farm catfish or tilapia?

The Martian Chick, all their fish are males.

Thank you for the links. Ribbon embroidery would look lovely here.

OK, I'm ignorant. How do you felt a sweater?

Need vitamin C? http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index...20171721AAr6JQd Is it true that a jalapeno pepper contains more vitamin "c" than an orange? Best Answer - Chosen by Voters I took this out of an online encyclopedia but it differently answers your question. Peppers have tons more vitamin "c". Read on: "Moreover, peppers are high in vitamin C, which, in turn, may be effective in protecting against cancer. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, a chemical substance capable of removing the threat from free radicals, which can cause cells to mutate.... (p.141)." "By weight, green bell peppers have twice as much vitamin C as citrus fruit; red peppers have three times as much. Hot peppers contain even more vitamin C, 357 percent more than an orange. And red peppers are quite a good source of beta carotene... (p.136)." See link below to read more! Source(s): http://users.visi.net/~mandy/pepguide.ht...

I've heard of it. I tried to do it once by boiling the pine needles but, it was bitter. Maybe because I boiled it.

Yes. I highly recommend this handy tool. http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Bullet-Express...d/dp/B000AEZVRS Awesome for baby food, small amounts of grinding like for coffee, etc.

ROTFL to Jeepers and Momo! Maybe I can shed a bit of light on a couple of things.[smile] Regarding plastic bottle liners: Both my kids suffered from severe gastroesophogeal reflux. My daughter could not come home from the hospital for a week until they figured out why she turned purple every time she got fed. They also both were allergic to milk so no nursing either of them. Stinky soybean formula all around--and I mean ALL around, carpet, floors, furniture, etc. Now add a pretty impressive case of post partum depression that went undiagnosed for four years and corresponding lack of energy. Babies still have to eat, toddlers still have to eat, puke has to be washed off the floors and furniture.[groan] I bought a home steam cleaning machine and ghetto rigged a home made swiffer type device. I still use a Clorox brand swiffer or a dollar store swiifer. Why that type? Because of the way the cleaning rag I use to replace that expensive little pads that look like disposable diapers fit on top. I sweep with a swiffer and rag, change the rag, put my floor cleaning solution (soap and water) in a spray bottle, spray the floor well, "mop" with a swiffer (way lighter and easier to manipulate than a mop), "rinse" by spraying clear water, and use a dry rag to dry the floor--or sometimes I let it air dry. Toss the rags in the laundry. I think I got 12 of them for $5 at the hardware store. I DARN sure ain't gonna use a mop twice. Eyuuu! Babies have to eat so I bought baby food and frozen foods. If I had, had to cook the babies would not have eaten because I literally barely could stay awake long enough to keep them alive. I was a walking zombie. I can actually eat spaghetti-os and raviolis cold out of the can to this day. Not everyone who uses these products is lazy or stupid. [smile] Many Asian families (near east and far east serve rice at EVERY meal. They get a big rice cooker and fill it up. Wash once daily. For bubbles add a 1/4 teaspoon of glycerin to your bubble mixture. They last WAY longer. Ladies who clean houses for a living use disposable toilet brushes. One of the publications I receive is "Household and Personal Products International" HAPPI. Wipes are made because people are buying them. Working moms who feel they have to sanitize everything around them at all times and people with OCD. Also ladies who clean houses for a living. Home owners who hire cleaning help see them as more sanitary. I suspect the specialty wipe market will pare down considerably in this economy. HTH! [smile] [EDIT:] I own some plastic forms to lay pasta sheets on that you are supposed to fill, close, squeeze and make raviolis and dumplings with.
