    Clothespin Bag (Pix)

    It is very cute. I did something similar with a favorite flannel shirt that both of my boys wore, when the youngest outgrew it I cut off the sleeves and sewed up the holes and bottom and made it a clothes pin bag. I don't recall who gave me the idea, but it is a great way to recycle!

    Needing Ideas for making my own money

    You can get insurance to cover your home daycare. I did it for 5 years and at the time it ran me about $126 a year and I wrote that off as a business expense. I don't do daycare here because of the lady who inspects in our county. She has never had kids or been a care taker to kids and calls...

    How to get rid of ants? ~ Now tons of RED

    We are having the same irritating issue this year. So, we usually (ans we still do) put Borax on the counters and floors and it keeps them at bay, but not this year. We put boiling water on the mounds closest to the house. So, far it works for a few days, then they come back. Not sure what...

    Television

    We have a TV, but we don't watch TV on it. We used to be so addicted to the stupid thing. 2004, 3 hurricanes, 3 different times in about 2 months that we went days without electricity. We realized how addicted we were. Our kids were going nuts. They did not even seem to know what to do or...

    Dehydrating pineapples -- how long should it take?

    I have dehydrated pineapple many times, my kids love it. The thing is how high the humidity is, like any other dehydrating. I don't know if that helps.

    Do you wear gloves when working in the garden?

    Me too! I have tried to stop that, though, as I have stepped on a few stray sticks or piece of wire that go through them . .

    Adventures of OkieAnnie's "homestead"

    Thank you, HennyPenny. I will try to remember to not let them get to me. Isn't it sad that just a few cranky's can make the rest of the jolly people get cranky too? For the most part my co-workers are great.
