    Anyone make container candles?

    I saw a whole slew of interesting glassware at the Goodwill when I was there the other day looking for a mixer. They were not very expensive, but they had interesting old fashioned shapes and would make great candle holders. I was wondering how much scent is needed to add to the paraffin.

    Fels Naphtha safety

    Thank you for posting that information! I was interested to see a product called "Naptha" in the mineral spirits department of our hardware store over the weekend. It does make sense that a solvent would make for a good degreasing bar. I'm glad to hear that the unsafe ingredients have been...

    Sometimes it is good to just tell them the doctor's orders! I hope he finds something easy to deal with!

    Savingdogs-Saving the chickens

    Oh, I would love that show. I'll have to see if Hubby can download it for me. Not everything he finds is closed captioned. I felt like those books were very instructive. I haven't read the final one.....the reviews were so utterly horrible, I didn't have the heart to read more than the first...

    annaraven - more random update stuph

    My parents always used the envelope method. I've never had the self discipline, and it was hard to adapt it to the ATM world. However, the system worked extremely well for them. They had drawers for "vacation"and "new car" included and always had everything beautifully planned and paid for. Too...

    Anyone make container candles?

    I've never made them, but I would like to try. I love using scented candles, it is my favorite way to add fragrance to a room. Since I have been using the soaping fragrances, it makes me think about candles too. Those sites have so many choices and prices of stuff however, I need to know more...

    Hen23's Journal~Goodbye

    Maybe you need to use a crutch. Can't someone step in for you on the walking duties at your church? Perhaps the good Lord wants someone else to step up and perform that duty.....literally. I'm sure you will be back to your old self in no time. But for now, you can't be slipping and falling and...

    Mosquite Bite Prevention

    I eat a ton of garlic and they LOVE to bite me. They seem to prefer certain people. They never bite my husband, and I'm sure it isn't his B vitamin level, he is not one to consciously eat a healthy diet and I'm sure he must be lacking in B. They also bite only ONE of my three children, the other...

    Charity garden

    I would advertise it as a community project for the "hungry". There is a young girl who started a program like this and they donate the proceeds to soup kitchens and food banks. Once the place is established, then you can attract the poor folks by reputation, the ones who want to garden will...

    Everybody still here?

    It has been kinda quiet. Lots of summer projects probably, people have been discussing a lot of food storage this last month. A few people have been missing lately (sunsaver's computer is broken, glenolam is working alot and OFG must be busy or something). There are a few folks who used to post...

    I love this show too, I just recently watched it! (Thanks AnnaRaven!) I was going to also suggest the movies The Earthling with Ricky Schroeder and William Holden. And Jerimiah Johnson with Robert Redford.

    Savingdogs-Saving the chickens

    Sounds like you are much more attuned to your instincts than most people. I should think I would be developing a strong sense of smell with losing my hearing but so far, nada pasa. But I'm sure dogs note feelings by smelling us. Bindi Jo seems to know the scent of us "feeling bad" is what I...

    Abifae - Ciao Babies!

    You might suggest to your mom that she try that cat litter called Cat Attract. I am not sure how it is treated, but occasionally you will see a cat that improves with using it from their out of litterbox experiences. They like to use it in rescue in the multiple cat homes. My cats personally did...

    Farmfresh City Homesteader - the sound of falling oaks.

    I don't remember my dreams very much, but when I do, they are usually just weird, nothing makes sense. They are more like just a jumble of thoughts thrown together randomly.
