    So upset with the judicial system!!!! RANT

    Thank you all for your incouraging words and prayers. I try my hardest to be civil with him, sometimes I fail. I won't be able to see the girls because we live in CA and he lives in OR.

    Can you live without paper towels?

    I use waxed paper squares that I buy at sams club to cover food when nuking. They last forever and I use them for so many things. I know, it's just as bad as paper towels, but I reuse them many times also before throwing away. Reading all these posts make me wish I still had all my old diapers...

    Can you live without paper towels?

    I used to use lots of them. Every few years I get tired of wasting paper and money so I cut down. DH used to use several to dry his hands, but I did also sometimes as 1 doesn't always dry them sufficiently. Now he dries his hands on the kitchen towel. We use them for meals to wipe our mouths...

    Do you have a "can't believe I never thought of this" idea?

    Pouring boiling water into antholes kills them too! I used to do the weeds in the driveway and sidewalk.

    When my kids were little we had no money for anything, so other than any I had from my Mom, we only had homemade ornaments on the tree. People loved how it looked with only old and handmade ornaments. A couple of my favorites that I made were out of walnut shells. One I glued two halves...
