Use Doctor's Office Masks With Care

By likekinds

Two girls with masks on to prevent respiratory infections.I was appalled, disgusted, almost sickened by what I witnessed in a doctor's office this morning. I came back home and could hardly wait to share what I witnesses with all of you. Be forewarned. It is unpleasant.

Cheese and Kale Frittata

By attosa

Cheese and Kale Frittata on plateThis is an excellent vegetable packed egg breakfast that's topped with cheese. You don't need an oven for this, you can do it all on the stove top as long as you have a lid for the pan!

By Deborah S.

A recycled lint roller being reused as a twine dispenser.Easy rope or twine dispenser It's so easy to make all you need is a empty lint roller, tape, scissors, a pen, and the twine to make a very easy twine or small rope dispenser. It's nice and neat and will be much easier to use after it's on your new dispenser.

How I Keep My Broccoli Fresh

By Monique

A head of broccoli in a jar of water.I have limited space in a small fridge/freezer in my teeny tiny kitchen. I need to make my food last so I am not wasting any food. To keep my broccoli nice and fresh for the whole week, I pop my broccoli 'trees' in a jam jar filled with water. I do cut off the very end so it can sup on the water.

Making a Long Arm Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder
I would like to make a long arm bird feeder hanger from PVC pipe. First off, is the pipe strong enough to hold a feeder if it's reinforced somehow? Second, how do you make one? I have a bracket from the side of the window on the house, but it doesn't go out far enough and the squirrels can still jump from a small roof to the feeder. I want it to go farther out in front of the window so it is impossible for any squirrels or other critters to get the feeder.

Lost Power After Wiring a New Ceiling Light Fixture
I was installing a new flush mount overhead light on the main floor. I removed the old light's canopy, the shallow electric box was held together mostly by electric tape. I purchased a new metal ceiling box that was deeper so the armored wires could fit in comfortably. I took apart the connected wires and used the twist on wire caps instead. Now the entire upstairs is without power.
Removing Cross Stitch Pattern Markings
I have finished a stamped cross stitch quilt, but when washed the stamped pattern under the stitches is not dissolving. Any tips please?
