baking powder or soda for height...nm

Baking Soda-make a paste with a little water. That's all I use. (nm)

Baking soda, opened and on its side, in every corner
IMO, in the real world common sense is better to have than a high IQ. nm

Sounds like a real high IQ broad here - people like this give the industry a bad name
You can use salt in your carpets. Sprinkle it on heavy
use your broom to work it in and leave overnight and then vacuum like heck the next couple of days. My mom would put her vacuum cleaner bag in the microwave to kill the fleas cause they can get out and changing bags every time gets expensive. The salt dehydrates the fleas. You can bathe dogs in tea tree oil, though I warm you it is a strong smell for days. I read recently you could put a few days on their collar, but again this is very strong and I couldn't tolerate it. I haven't tried it, but boil 2 lemons, let cool, and then refrigerate. Use it as a spray every other day, being careful to keep out of eyes and other sensitive areas.
You should also wash all bedding in hot water if you don't ready and this will kill any fleas in the bedding, but is a good idea to do anyway.
There many options available through your vet if this doesn't work.
Fleas seem to be bad this year. We adopted kittens from the shelter and we've had a difficult time getting rid of them. We are using a pill, plus a topical; both from the vet, and still have them, just a few of them, but enough to drive the animals bonkers.
toss in olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika
Got Snakes - GET LIME!!!!! Sprinkle generously! Burns their bellys.

So does diet soda.
Just kidding
Try cutting out soda and replace with
Green tea. I don't know if it will work but I cut out all diet pop this week and have been drinking diet green tea...Arizona brand, Lipton Citrus, and I've been making my own just with tea bags. I'm also 43, lost my dad in October, really depressed here in the Wisconsin winter, and a week ago I was at my highest nonpregnant weight. Well, let's see, actually I weighed about the same as I did at the end of my pregnancy with my first child back at age 21...and I gained 50 pounds during that pregnancy! So...not so good. I can't go all the way on induction again, but I have been watching my carbs this week, although I really believe that even without that, this green tea is helping curb my appetite. I used to sit here and grab a snack and always be munching on something all day long. I haven't been as hungry and have hardly been snacking during the day. I'm also not falling asleep in my chair at 2-3 every day. It might be a little change you could try and see if it works for you. One other thing I've done...I've actually gone outside and walked. I work all the time and never make time to exercise, but I was feeling at my wits end and very depressed at getting to that weight. So, on Sunday before anyone got up, I went outside and actually walked for nearly an hour..and it was 32 degrees, although sunny. I've done that 4 more times this past week, when weather has permitted, and I mentally feel better. I've lost 8 pounds this week with these little changes, but mentally feel much better and am just taking it one day at a time to keep it up.
PA - Pittsburgh area is one locale, Philadelphia area also.
TriState area - PA, NJ, DE.
Cook it real slow at real low heat; simmer, don't boil.

DMV/Traffic Court
Out here in CA, if you have unpaid tickets, a warrant is issued. So when you show up at DMV or the court house, you most probably will have to pay right away or explain to a justice why you need an extension to pay. They probably wont want to hear the argument that it was your sister cause you dont have proof. You will be responsible and then you can kick your sisters butt or sue her. I have a friend who had outstanding speeding ticket and the cops came to her house, arrested her and she had to spend the weekend in jail till Monday when her boyfriend was able to bring the money to the court house.
Out here, we have cameras at stop lights and on different roads..So when someone is exceeding the speed limit or goes through a red light, the camera takes a picture. You never see an officer, you receive the ticket in the mail and they have the picture for proof. Good luck to you.
Baking without flour everywhere
I think the only way to be able to do it is to have plenty of time and clean up after every step for lack of anything better to do. Now the only problem is getting my big kid (DH) to keep his meat hooks out of the freezer! Discovered he had snuck all of my peanut butter blossoms out and ate them right up. Oh, well, I'll make some more. LOL I love to bake and love to eat the stuff too but unfortunately just recently was diagnosed with AODM so there goes the sugar for me.
traffic/production mgr
and an awesome hubby! 
phone and traffic
I really hope that they make it a law in all states that you cannot talk on your cell phone and drive a car at the same time. Now mind you, I work at home, so I am not out in traffic all the time, but so far, I have almost been killed by a man driving a big truck, going through a red light and almost hitting me, a girl on the phone rear end my car, and my son was sitting at a red light on a major highway, the guy behind him was on the phone doing 40 MPH, rear-ended my son's F150 truck, 1,000.00 damage to his truck, but the guy's Toyota was totalled and he got out of his car and said to my son "sorry, I wasn't paying attention, I was on the phone." Duh - get off the phone and pay attention, please, it is so dangerous. What really scares me are the young kids driving, putting eyeliner and lipstick on and on the phone, i think we used to all do that at home in our room/bathroom. Lately, i have seen a lot more people pulled oer to the side of the road and talking, but then, sometimes they are not over far enough. i think phones should just be used for emergencies, like when you break down, or are stuck in traffic, then use one, but hey that is only my opinion, but makes sense to me.
I look at traffic reports...
rising gas prices and general misery in the world. Then my crummy job doesn't seem so bad! Count your blessings!
anybody remember grape nehi soda?
They don't make grape like that anymore.
DH always asks me if I hit any traffic on the way to work
I always say, no, there was no traffic today. Oh, yeah, the dog was in my way and I tripped over him. Yep, he is just jealous. I could never deal with rush hour traffic again. I just watch for the dog.
Eeeewww - I have enough for my Christmas baking
Chilling them a bit before baking also helps
What kind of fish are you baking? (nm)

It's called Internet Traffic
There is a download wait time due to being a "free user" trying to access the download. Encountering internet traffic is not unheard of. There are plenty of websites that offer their users a limited amount of bandwidth per month, this just happens to be one of them, add on the fact that this is also an internet prime time and also that these links are posted on a worldwide message board, and hey you do the math.
Leftover chili, mango soda and coffe.

Your client will not run out overnight
Palleeassee...... If the IC is repeatedly not making an effort to support the contract, then let it go. Geez............ You can't be beating yourself up about a bad IC. Just cut your losses. My goodness, I think you've been burnt too many times.
The Word board doesn't have much traffic for
many reasons. Some of us are tired after working our own shifts and don't want to feed answers to people who are equally as capable of looking them up as we are. I use entirely Internet based references. If I have that free access to references, so does everyone else on these boards. From my own experience, it's easier and faster to look my questions up myself. In addition, I learn more from doing my own research. If I can't find it, I flag it and send it to QA. That's their job, not the job of those of us here. Word board answers aren't always accurate either. Finally, people are ungrateful if nobody answers their questions quickly enough. That's why I stopped going there. Grumpy little untrained newbies giving tongue lashings because we didn't do their work for them quickly enough. Half of them can't say thanks either. It's sink or swim out there. People have to figure out how to do for themselves.
Need help quick! I am in the middle of baking cupcakes for
tomorrow and i only have 2 eggs and recipe on box calls for 3. Does anyone know what will happen if I use the 2? I live in the country and the store is way too far to get eggs. No neighbors either! :)
What would you do? Go ahead and try it or ditch it altogether? I was in the middle of mixing when I saw I needed 3 eggs!!!! Thanks so much!
1 heaping *tablespoon* of baking powder?!

Same could be said for people - do you let your kids play in traffic
Nice try though
Absolutely no alcohol. Coffee, water or diet soda.

$3.19 here too, jumped 20 cents overnight.

I knew someone that did get in debt overnight due
to illness. The bills were higher than any loan would cover and they wanted their money then. In that particular case, BK was the only answer and this person got it in about 1 week before the new law took effect. The individual will be able to purchase a home I believe within 2 years and has already received offers for credit. That was under the old law.
The new law makes you take a course I believe 6 months before you can file. I believe you have to qualify if you want all your bills discharged and they make it harder to get that done, i.e. you have to make a certain income only and anything over that, you have to pay back over time and it is still BK.
With the new law, I would weigh it carefully. Not everyone has emergent medical illness which might necessitate taking this step and it is automatically assumed they mishandled their affairs. This person raised her children alone and just did not have extra money in the bank for bills totaling over $150K. In that case, she was warranted in filing.
I let it dry overnight and plugged it in this morning
and it made crazy noises. I took what I felt comfortable apart and used a blow dryer, but none of the buttons work. It has a dial tone and the face looks normal, but no buttons at all work.
I am in Houston too.
I am so careful with that thing, but my daughter got hurt really bad when she fell on her arm. I was trying to get her to move her arm to make sure it wasn't broken and she started kicking. She hit my glass of water and some got in it before I could catch it.
Do you shut your puter down overnight?
Just curious how many shut completely down at the end of your work day or overnight? Why or why not?
overnight and watches sorry for the typos

Let's see, just got through baking cheese straws, bran muffins,
fruit cake cookies and cheese/sausage balls and DH just came home with a big bag of almond M&Ms. Probably have a Pepsi to go with it. No veggies but I think we got all the other food groups - LOL.
Mine is also 3 -1/2, still wears diaper overnight. Help too!
He is a boy. Suggestions? He does not have anything to drink 2-3 hours before bed. I don't know what else to try.
FedEx it overnight. It's insured and there when you arrive.
Coretta Scott King passed away overnight....sm
While she was in poor health since having her heart attack and stroke a few months ago it's still sad to see a legend pass away. I'm sure that her kids fighting over whether or not they should try to get the government to buy the King Center and 2 kids stealing money from the center didn't help any.
May she rest in peace.
Due to tremendous increase in traffic you may experience outage. We are upgrading presently.
Thank you for your patience during the transition.

I want my bread crumbs white so I let them dry up in the open overnight (winter brings low humidity)
a very good way not to waste stale bread (aside from pudding).
Between cruise lines dumping, increased boat traffic dumping, and runoff from
the water supply --- that's my personal opinion on why there is such a growing red tide.
They try to say it's just an algae bloom, but the toxin that makes up what is known as red tide is actually lots and lots of different toxins generically called "red tide."
The "red tide" in Massachusets for example is not the "red tide" that affects the southern coastal states and shellfish.
We sit here and watch
cruise ships go by,
barge traffic,
luxury yachts,
many more people living on sail boats,
house boats (there is no more property to buy at a reasonable price so they are living on boats and probably dumping effluent in the water).
"Red tide" comes not only from marine water, it comes from resevoirs, your reclaimed water you spray your lawns with, you get it off the grass or bushes as you pass them, it is aerosolized as you water your lawn or go by an area where lawns are being watered. There is a plethora of ways we are getting "red tide"
But nobody talks about how we are getting it.
Look out there people, it is a toxic dump along the coast lines. I stand on the pier and see household trash floating by all day long. Plastic Wal-Mart bags and floating juice bottles, Frito Lay potato chip bags --- and you know some boater has thrown the trash overboard on the way to the dock.
We have people living on boats all over the place in the bayous. ICK. You know what's happening there.
The beautiful lawns 100 yards from where people are swimming and oh my gosh catching fish and getting mollusk clams and taking them home and eating them --- the chemicals in the run-off from manicured lawns and the animal excrement where hundreds of people walk their dogs is just right there! right there in the water those people are going to swim in, put their babies in, eat the shellfish out of. But nobody is warning them. TheY think it's OCEAN WATER AND IT'S SO HEALTHY. It is not healthy.
Yesterday as I was saying the red tide was so awful at the beach-----------An interesting observation:
NO BIRDS! There was not a sand piper, sea gull, or pelican in sight. NOT ONE.
Vacuum the house a lot, garlic powder and brewer's yeast (not baking yeast) sm,,,
in all the dogs' food, and definitely give the little one a bath. You'll need to comb the fleas and their dander and eggs out wtih a flea comb. My dogs used to love this. During flea season, I'd get on the floor and comb them after dinner every night. Have a bowl of soapy water handy (with the flea soap if possible) and dip the comb in the bowl when you start and especially after you find the fleas (and ticks!) on the comb to drown them. Residual soap will help keep them off the pooch. Fleas congregate at the base of the tail and in the groin area. Get puppy used to combing and he/she will come to love it as part of normal grooming. An herbal flea collar might help, too. The other dogs will need to be watched for fleas, too. Good luck!
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.
We met in high school. My high school sweetheart
introduced us in a discussion over Ford versus Chevy versus Dodge. I used to race my Dodge Coronet with oldstyle 318 V-8 engine against the guys on the back roads and old highways. High school boyfriend had a Chevy truck. DH had a Ford Fairlane and later an AMC Javelin that just made me swoon. We didn't actually start dating until three years later, and my old high school boyfriend was a bit surprised at that since he introduced us.
Is DSL not available in your area?
It's worth it to have it. It's tax deductible as a business/work expense. It's only about $35 a month here total, compared to $20 a month for dial-up. It's so much faster, more reliable and easier to use than dial-up. It also doesn't tie up your phone line like dial-up does, so no need for a second phone line and no getting bounced off the Internet when someone calls while you're trying to work. I'd still have it even if I couldn't write it off on my taxes.
I'm in the D/FW area and we have taken in several ...
and Dallas is making sure the children are in school, there are special job fairs to make sure the adults get jobs, even though our economy was terrible to start with, companies are making jobs for them, and every one that is interviewed says they are never going home and making their home here in Dallas/Fort Worth. I know they need places to say, what happened to them is terrible, but this area really did not need the strain of all the added people. Several of the people have been offered new housing back in their state or such, but they say they do not want to move again. I just think everyone needs to be looking at the big picture as to what is going to happen in the long run, as New Orleans is going to need some of their residents to come back and help rebuild. I have a son that has been looking for a job for over a year in the field he went to school for and has had no luck and now he has to compete against 1000s more people. I just don't get it.
