By Deborah S.

Laundry detergent and fabric softener dispensers with lids attached.I store my large laundry detergent dispenser and my fabric softener dispenser in a cabinet over my washing machine. No matter how careful I am, the spout drips inside my cabinet and makes an awful mess. The blue fabric softener is even worse.

One of my favorite things to incorporate in every area, is the shamrock or clover! You can use pre-cut shapes or make your own out of green foam sheets. I chose shamrocks for this DIY project.

By 15mhhm15

A three piece toddler's outfit with the price marked down.Do you verify the tags of items you are purchasing? You should! Because, sometimes you can come across an outfit you like but a belt is missing, or the top, bottom. If you do come across anything "missing" in your outfit or quantity of some product, chances are you will get a further discount!

Today's Questions
My John Deere Riding Mower Won't Stay Running
My John Deere z425 runs good without the blades engaged, but when I engage the blades it chokes down like it is starving for gas. I can turn the blades off and it runs fine. Any idea what could be causing this problem?
Tiny Non-biting Black Bugs
We have tiny black bugs that look like no-see-ums. They're extremely difficult to kill. Even after trapping them with Scotch tape, they hop away. They don't sting or bite, but they do seem to burrow into the skin. Once burrowed, we've worked them out with a needle. They still are able to hop away. While being dug out, they seem to change into a shape more like a tiny worm.

I did not like my sideburns at all. Then one day it occurred to me to shave them off. And I have an event in month and 10 days. Can I grow them back in time? Will it look natural when I grow it out until that time? Please any tips you can give me to grow it back? Can I grow my sideburns like they were before in a month and 10 days?
