  1. 3.79 here.. Safeway does "gas rewards" and they now work at Chevron. Since Safeway is one of only 2 grocery stores in the area I do shop there and since I shop there whether or not I get gas rewards.. it's nice.. now I get .10 off for every $100 I spend at Safeway (a large family spends many $100's) so since Chevron started taking the safeway card.. I've been getting $.70-1.00 off per gallon for a max of 25 gallons (I drive a 15 pass. so easily can get 25 gallons at a time). So at least when I spend more on food I'm spending less on gas. :girlneener:

  2. The infection may clear on it's own if it's draining.

     

    But you may need antibiotics..

     

    As far as it goes you can look into a neti pot for rinsing the sinuses. a saline nose spray can help too, though not as thorough.

     

    bromelain (pineapple enzyme) helps reduce swelling of soft tissue, including sinus tissue and can help alleviate the pressure and encourage drainage. Vitamin C helps with sinus issues. Eucalyptus essential oil can also help.

  3. the cross will only happen in the next generation.. save seeds and those will be the cross.. tomatoes actually have a low instance of cross pollination.. something like only 5%. But others are more readily crossed. If you want to save seed there's ways to do it (covering the blossoms and pollinating them by hand and marking them as the ones to save for seed) so that you don't have to protect the whole garden just a couple of blossoms from each type of plant.

  4. This is not exactly what was being looked for but it can be sorta tweaked to figure it out.

    I know it does cost per serving but once you input information.. it also tells you how many servings you get per pound. So for instance.. if you figured boneless skinless chicken breasts and whole chicken.. you could figure out the difference in servings per pound and probably work out what you want to know. Not to mention it's awful handy for it's intended purpose.. helps you figure the better deals when buying it anyway.

  5. for braiding or crocheting heavier lengths you can just hold the handles and pull the bag straight and poke a hole through the sides loop the next one through to create a chain of bags to work with. Same idea as splitting but just creating a hole to work with.

     

    I've heard of making them into a rug for stepping out of a shower. And would certainly be nice for camping or such where you might want a place to stand on that's not dirt.

  6. You might also want to consider what critters might like to hide from the heat in your garden if you let it become a wild tangle.

     

    And as far as spacing.. square foot gardening or intensive gardening will give you closer spacing than traditional methods (on the seed packets) and companion planting can help with the different "feeders".

  7. Our Safeway.. don't know about all safeways.. sometimes does a $10 off $50 coupons.. if you watch your spending and keep it close to that $50 mark.. that's 20% off your regular prices.. I bought hamburger this week with that coupon.. price of $2.99/lb then take off for the coupon and end up with about $2.40/lb. Sure it's even better if you can get stuff on sale with the coupon but at least it helps bring prices closer to reasonable.

  8. Don't forget your washing machine.. even if you just use the rinse water you can get a good bit of water that way. And keeping the dishpans in the sink means anytime someone runs water, you're saving it to go on your plants.

  9. Oh it's been a long time since I've been around any salami/summer sausage making and as I recall it was all raw meat that was cook in a very slow oven. BUT there is "head cheese" that is made from cooked meat (pork). So maybe that would give you some ideas or a different way to search?
