Honey Tea Poached Pears

By attosa

Poached Pears with ice cream on plateThis fancy pear dessert is easy to make. You can use any type of tea you'd like for the infusion, but something bright and punchy is suggested. I used a blend of hibiscus, rosehips, lemongrass, peppermint, orange peel, lemon verbena, and wild cherry bark (all in one bag). This is delicious on its own, but I love a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside!

Using Paper Clips in Journals

By Robyn

Paper clips on the edge of a homemade journal.I go through a large number of paper clips while making my 'Everything Journals' or Omni Journals. Because I like to keep a lot of different items in my journals, many times I will use large paper clips. Keeping them accessible helps me in my creative process and the paper clips stay in better condition.

Tineacide Antifungal Cream for Stinky Dogs

By Otis

A large fluffy dog holding a toy in his mouth.I have had two dogs now that start to smell, if not hours after a bath, the next day. I have tried the vinegar w/mother treatment, coal tar soap, weekly baths and many other home remedies - nothing worked. I went through the medicine cabinet looking for something else to try and ran across a small bottle labeled Tineacide Antifungal Cream. It is used for athlete's foot and such.

Dear Webby's Joke of the Day
My eleven-year-old son, Lee, wanted to check his height against mine, so we stood back to back. When we turned around, he kept his hand in place and then exclaimed, "Mom, I'm up to the first line on your forehead!"

Today's Questions
Neighbour's Cat Pees on My Work Top
I have 5 cats of my own which all do their business outside, but my neighbour's cat keeps coming in and peeing in random places on my work top and sometimes on the gas hob. I keep my home very clean and do not use bleach in the kitchen only in the toilet. I can't stop him coming in as I have a cat flap for mine. Anyone have any ideas how to deter this cat from coming in?
Frigidaire Ice Maker Not Dispensing Ice
Frigidaire ice maker makes ice, but will not dispense it! The metal curly thing goes around, but pushes ice to the top and to the front, but not out when you push ice dispenser button. Is there an easy fix or not?
Preventing Fading in the Breast Area of a Blouse
I'm sure I'm not the only woman who has this problem. You buy a really nice blouse or shirt and a few months down the line you can clearly see the breast marks on the shirt due to being a bit busty. Is there anyone out there that has found a way for this not to happen? Or if it does happen, how do you fix it?
