Still keeping the windows open, even at night
Here in So. Indiana, we are finally past the heat wave and really having some enjoyable weather.. but are still desperate for some rain. Won't even thinking about burning any wood in the stove until December.
Leave some open boxes of baking soda inside and maybe search for carbon filters to leave in there,

Try a little bit of baking soda on a washcloth
Just remember that the rubbing may cause a little redness, but i think it will help with the kool-aid. Been there, done that...
Sprinkle with baking soda and then vacuum
Works wonders.
Might have him shave pits completely & just use baking soda as

Rub some baking soda or corn starch into him well and brush out? nm

gotta be careful with mold/mildew.....which thankfully have never had in 30 years in s. fla....
have been for 30 years - tho do open windows
to listen to the birds before the world arises...but now we don't have to - they're chirping at 2 a.m.

45 here; heat on or windows open today? (nm)
Be sure to open a coupla windows....chili is a fart-fest...sm
They'll get to jumpin' up and yellin' at the TV/game after feeding and all of a sudden somebody will rip a ripe one! Ya may as well consider making that classic Knorr Swiss spinach dip with lots of shallots/onions as well.... Cat
Dear Scrub Tech
Please stop crashing and clanging those heavy metal dishes and instruments while the surgeon is dictating the operative report. How the heck am I supposed to understand a word he/she is saying when there is a huge crash every few minutes during critical portions of the report?
You might have to copy and paste to open this, as I tried a few times and it does not open. SM
It is worth looking at and warms your heart.
You live where it's cold or warm? Driving gloves? Some nice body scrub/shower gels? nm

I wonder if a little vinegar would remove
the smell because of its pH level? But then to get rid of the vinegar smell...HMMMM...Be safe and use the Arm and Hammer baking soda. =)
Magic of vinegar.
Everybody always tells about the magic of vinegar. I got to learn firsthand today about it. I pulled a real stu*id one this morning, left some food in the microwave too long remembered it when I smelled it burning. Pulled it out and it was black and stunk up the whole house. I opened all the windows, froze my butt off (it's cold here) and no luck. I looked on the internet and found a site that said to boil some water and vinegar on the stove and it will take the burnt odor away. I used about 3 cups of vinegar and 2 quarts of water and simmered it on the stove for 3 hours and the smell is totally gone. What a relief. Thought I was never going to get rid of that odor. Now all I smell is the roast I have in the oven. And no, it's definitely not going to get burnt! 
Oh wow! Look at the spit and vinegar!
 'Tit's okay. I'm just psyched a few people clicked on the link! Right before I went to bed last night there were only about 5 clicks to see what I wrote, and one of them was mine makin' sure the link worked!
Right after I posted, there was a woman in the stall pulling the baby (okay, foal) out of the mamma horse (mare). I still don't know if it was a boy (colt) or a girl (filly), but haven't logged on yet today to see if they put something on their website to tell one way or another. I don't see any nuggets hanging down, but I don't think the camera zooms in to check under the hood.
That website, marestare.com has oodles of live cams posted on the internet for people to watch horses (even donkeys!) give birth. My boss was on IM last night and I let her know and both she and her daughter got to watch it. I think they are hooked! Good clean entertainment...well, maybe not CLEAN...even I was ooged out at seeing what I can only imagine was the placenta hanging out of the horse until she expelled it. But still, of all the junk out there on the internet...good stuff in my opinion!
gel. soda or pop?

sea salt and diluted vinegar
It burns at first, but really dries up and heals your sinuses. You can use an eyedropper and tilt your head back if you don't have an actual nasal inhaler bottle.
Will you share your vinegar pie recipe? Would appreciate it. (nm)

drinking soda
I think that drinking soda aggravates that. Cranberry juice and herbals teas calm this sort of thing down for me.
Diet soda isn't the problem
I saw a report on that on TV several weeks ago. Evidently, the thinking is that if you're drinking diet soda you'll feel free to eat more high-caloric foods ?!?! The only thing I've heard that's concrete about diet soda is that it can cause loose bowel movements and the carbonation saps phosphorus, which could be detrimental to bones.
This is probably the lamest of all the scare tactics that the Food Police have come out with yet! I believe there are factions out there who won't be satisfied until everybody is eating nothing but veggies and drinking nothing but water.
The next lamest one I've heard is that air conditioning causes people to be overweight. Why? Because when you're hot you burn more calories!
I stopped listening to "experts" a long time ago!
Lice prevention -- distilled white vinegar (sm)
After shampooing, rinse hair with 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water, protecting eyes.
My mom used this prevention faithfully on all of us and none of us ever had lice infestation, just shiny hair.
Just had to tell you that yesterday I bought the apple cider vinegar s/m
tablets for severe unrelenting hot flashes. I felt bad all day yesterday and was hoping it was not due to the pills. I only took two because of that. Went to bed early and today I have had a total of 2 hot flashes so far and it is 12 noon. I would have literally had dozens of terrible hot flashes by now. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts about ACV and for the dear poster who told me it was available in pill form. I honestly think this may be my answer. I feel like a new person and pray this continues. I can't believe the improvement after taking 2 tablets yesterday!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Would love measurements for vinegar pie, can you use graham crust?
Still time for one more pie!
Pour 1-2 cans of 7-Up soda over the turkey sm
after it has cooked for about 1-2 hours and baste as well. I usually use more soda and inject it into the turkey with a turkey injecter as well as basting it. Then, I use the drippings with the soda and make it into a gravy. It's sweet and gives the BEST flavor I have ever tasted. My mother-in-law told me years ago to do that and I have been doing it ever since.
Not if you are planning on baking
Wax paper will melt wax into your foods if you are baking. That being said, if you are making a cake you can butter the pan, both sides of the wax paper, and place the wax paper on the bottom of the pan wax side down, putting your batter on top. You can also use wax paper to steam. If you are planning on baking using direct oven heat (where the paper will be exposed directly to the enviornment around it) I would not suggest it.
Baking Stones?
Somebody gave me a brand new baking stone from Pampered Chef. I know people love them but I have never been able to figure out what you do with them except for cooking a frozen pizza... maybe...?
Baking stones
I LOVE my baking stones and use them all the time. The best thing to cook on them at first is something really greasy, like using crescent roll dough and make something with them. They are a greasy dough, so they help season the stone. I have a recipe for veggie pizza that uses the roll mix. The more seasoned your stone is, the better your food turns out. I make pizza, cookies, french fries. ANything that can be baked on a cookie sheet (within reason) can be baked on a stone. It makes killer calzone and pasties. Experiment and have fun with your new stone.
Baking gifts
Do any of you give baked goods during the holidays? What are some of your favorites? I get tired of making the same ole bread, cookies, and chocolate covered pretzels every year.
I will say that last year I put peanut butter between 2 Ritz crackers and then covered them in baking chocolate (white and semi-sweet) and they turned out really well. I put sprinkles on the white ones (they showed up better than on the semi-sweet ones).
caffeine/chocolate/Jolt soda/RedBull/coffee
Applebee's LOL. No cooking just baking.
:)
That should be keepING
How do I get 100% on QA checks, but yet I can't type a simple post? I do the same thing with my school papers. My professor's look at me and say "YOU'RE a medical transcriptionist?"
How old are you now? Think the key is keeping yourself

lock windows
I made my fiance nail shut all the windows in the house when I moved in with him until we bought new windows because lo and behold none of his windows locked. While this was probably not smart in case of a fire I would rather be alive to throw something out the window to get out rather than have someone come through the window at night (or day) and do who knows what.
Another warning about windows being down
I had a friend whose husband had the passenger's side window down and the dog was in the front seat. He was on a leash, but he tried to get some fresh air (small dog as well), he slipped and fell out of the window and was hung by the leash when the husband (while driving) tried to "yank" him back in. He has never gotten over it. Another word to the wise - I wonder if this could be just as much of a distraction as talking on a cell phone while driving. If I had a dog, I think he/she would be in the back seat, and I would literally treat him/her more like a child and belt the animal in to be safe. Sorry to hear of the loss in your life. It must have been devastating.
keeping tabs
My daughter travels around the country for business and she is the only employee that calls her employer when she arrives on site and when she returns home. They really appreciate this.
yea - I need windows, gutters, among
other things but I decided 79.00 wasn't going to get anywhere close to what I needed for that! I might as well die if I can't have something I want every now and then.

keeping a secret
taking addiction too seriously is a mistake. Keeping it a dirty little secret is a mistake. Hiding "Pa" in the basement because he is an embarrassment is a mistake. There is NOTHING shameful about being addicted to a substance. I hardly think there is one person on this board who does not know someone on antidepressants or takes them and that is considered healthy? But medicating depression with vodka is shameful?
The best disinfectant is light.
Whatever fluids you use, keep basting during baking, then cover with foil out of the
s
Question. Which oven rack do you normally use when baking meats or what have you. Never sure if
bottom rack is best or middle rack which seems rather far away from the heat.
Baking bread from scratch is hard work, sm
especially for people like us who abuse their hands working. Kneading bread is exhausting!
I have a bread machine and love it. It allows for both bread mixes and scratch ingredients. The bread tastes delicious, too.
regarding keeping the car tuned up and possible breakdowns(sm)
It can happen to ANYONE at ANY time. I had a brand new 2003 car. Six months off the lot and I'm stranded in a mall parking lot because the ignition switch died. No warning. No symptoms. It was just DEAD! At the time (Thanksgiving) it wasn't that cold out; however, I had gone out with a light jacket and no cell phone thinking there was no possible way I was going to wind up stranded anywhere because the car was reliable. Now I don't go anywhere without the cell phone and a heavy coat when it's cold out. AND there is always a set of botts in the trunk just in case. I'm happy that you don't have to worry about blizzards and cold temperatures; however, I'd be re-thinking your preparedness attitude.
I am keeping the journal going and in addition...sm
I bought a ceramic cross yesterday with 1 Samuel 1:27 on it which says "For This Child I prayed". I wrote the baby's nickname that my husband & I called it, the EDC and "went to heaven" dates on the front of the cross and it's hanging in our living room next to our family photo.
Keeping the spark in your marriage...
For those who have been married for a number of years and are still in love with your spouse, how do you keep that "spark"?
Spare us the intimate details , but share with us how you and your spouse keep the flames of love a' burnin!
I always lock the doors/windows too, but
then today I saw this.
