    Coffee Ground Uses

    I call ahead and ask if they have them in before I drive over. Sometimes they will say that they have them in a small trash bag and they just have to bag them up and to come on in, I just tell them to leave them in the trashbag and I will take it all and they are happy to not have to shovel it...

    Oh that is a bummer. Do you think there are any other coffee places that you could talk to and ask them to save you some?

    Coffee Ground Uses

    I use coffee grounds in the garden and I get them from Starbucks. Starbucks saves all their coffee grounds and puts them in foil bags, the same ones the beans came out of so they reuse them, and they seal it with a sticker that gives directions on how to use them in your garden. I got tons of it...

    RANT - My Trip To The New California Academy of Sciences

    So do you think they are just trying to pull people in with the whole green concept? Maybe like jumping on the bandwagon? I can't believe they actually print all those pictures out. I know its to get people to buy them since you are more apt to purchase a picture that is already printed versus...

    Annoying bumps

    Its worth it to get the better brand too. I know there are a couple of companies that sell fish oil and it can be a little pricy but it does last a long time and the quality is really worth a few extra dollars. A nutritionist I know recommends the nordic naturals and then there is a really good...

    See when I heard $2000.00 I didn't bat an eye because you wouldn't get to rent a house around here for any less than that. In fact the guy across the street just rented his house out for $2,400.00 per month. I was fortunate to buy my house 15 years ago but the housing is through the roof now...

    Annoying bumps

    Aside from the oils, you can try vitamin b2 (riboflavin) and cod liver oil, it also comes in capsules so that you don't have to gag it down. Both of those made a huge difference in our house. My son also had chronic chapped lips, nothing helped and once we tried the b2 that someone recommended...

    foster parenting

    I became a guardian to a child a few years ago. He came to me through my other children. He is a friend of my kids and I knew things were not right at home, he tried to hide it but too many things were apparent. He would not show up at school and the kids would call me and tell me that he isn't...

    Edible Mushrooms--Hen of the Woods

    Okay, hope you enjoyed that fine reading. You know what I think the problem with the link was that you have to have a subscription maybe. I have subscribed to these newletters and maybe it prohibits the links from working unless you are a subscriber? I don't know, but you wouldn't believe how...
