Large boxes have a reason for being. It is hard to pack a blanket or comforter into a small box.

My wife and I have remodeled a couple houses. Now we’re looking for a retirement house and are finding some poor remodels. This week’s sad remodel was one where they took the door to the back yard and created a master bedroom suite. So they have nice French doors leading to steep steps down to the bedroom. The only…

H2O2 is genius for cleaning sponges.

Full strength H2O2 is used as rocket fuel.  3% is normal for around the house. 

Agree. I even use raw Vaseline in my eyes to get stubborn crap out (I work in a dusty environment).  Vision is blurry for a few minutes, but it works. 

I have an Anova Nano cooking tip for the DIY’er. Instead of wrapping the top of my bucket with plastic wrap, I found some craft foam in a drawer, cut it an inch larger than my pot, and cut a hole at the edge of the circle to fit the Anova. Here’s the template. I think the circle is 2.5 inches in diameter. The bump out …

Since the offenses seem to be directed at Asians, is anyone ready to be offended by Charlie Chan or Mr Yunioshi (Breakfast at Tiffany’s)

Although Trump is cancelling traditional Republicans, which he calls RINOs, as fast as he can identify them. 

It’s time to embrace the singular, y’all.  Just like they, y’all can be either singular or plural.  The one form that is always plural is all y’all. 

If you’re going to teach parallel parking, be absolutely certain you know what you’re doing and can describe it in straight talk. Same goes for backing in to a parking place. It’s all about lining up and the sight lines of the process. My youngest girl is in an apartment with 2 other girls. It is not unusual for them…

Have you actually tried long pressing the send button?  Because I don’t get any options for sending.  The 3-dot menu doesn’t have anything.  Long press doesn’t work as advertised.  And the + button to the left doesn’t help. 

Here’s how I completely eradicated hundreds of roaches from my new apartment in San Antonio in 1981. The day I moved in was discovery day. I came home from dinner expecting to unpack my stuff. Instead I found the kitchen absolutely swarming, swarming, with them. I beat feet to K-Mart and bought a pack of roach motels…

I am thinking that it allows the driver to better dodge low hanging trees.  Ask me why I might feel this way. 

All I see is an opportunity to remodel something.  FUN!

Seconded.  I cleaned a driveway in a less than a minute.  It was just as fast as blowing leaves. 

Hurry on over to Shawn Woods’ YouTube channel for a catalog of mouse trap ideas along with visual proof of effectiveness.

Sometimes our cat would catch two a day. She would leave us the stomachs as trophies, right outside our bedroom door.

Be extremely careful where you use blood meal.  It is a very powerful organic fertilizer and can burn your plants overnight if you put down too much. 

If you look around at different food cultures, you’ll find a taco shaped item in every one of them. Crepes. Omelets.  Gyros.  Etc.  I even fold my pizza slices together to form a taco shape. 

I don’t get why people want to hold the entire weight of a vacuum cleaner in their hand instead of letting it support itself on its wheels. If you can call this one light weight, what do you call mine that weighs zero pounds in my hand?
