    We bought a house! (Long post, with pics!)

    Baking soda!  Put baking soda all over the floor, under the floor moulding, etc in the pee room.  Let it sit!   I mean cover the floor. Dry broom it up and follow up with a damp mop.  Redo as needed.  It will make all of the difference.        You can also do the carpet in the other rooms. Use...

    I lost my cell phone--for good

    I have found 3 phones over time. I ALWAYS find who they belong to. I just scroll through the contacts until I find "mom's" number  LOL most people have it listed as mom! I have found two wallets as well.  I always call the police and turn it into them. I was told to NEVER turn it in at the...

    Could I have been terminated on my first day?

    I would go down to the store to talk to the manager in person. That will show her that you do want the job and care. Time and effort=caring It is not unusual for a store to over hire because they KNOW that only about 1/4 of the people will work out for one reason or another. Good luck! Kim

    Oh my!

    Air it out good! Treat it like you would pee/poo/vomit.  Use a good enzyme cleaner and a wet/dry vac that will suck up all of the liquid. After you have cleaned it as good as you can use a fan to dry it out good.  We have a small fan as we have a convertible  that every once in a while gets...

    About once a month I will tell my husband------------I am going in the laundry room and the computer desk. He KNOWS what the means.

    I need to vent.

    I would pick up everything and put it in one pile (neat pile) on a chair or  counter.  Better that than put it in the wrong place.  Hugs to you!  That is a job I could not do. Kim

    SWEET!    Now do NOT take anything over there until you see that they have all of their stuff out.  You do not want them to grab your stuff thinking it is theirs. Please add change the locks to your list of things to do ASAP! HUGS! Kim

    Starting kitchen reno's........

    Get some of the polish/wax to put on it.  Make a habit of putting it on at least once a month. It will make clean up easier.  When I do have a mess to clean up I spray my bleach cleaner on it and let it sit for a little while. I than use my straight razor I bought just for the stove on it.  It...

    Homeless people question

    I do not :(    There is help out there for them IF they could follow the "rules".    For quite a few of them it is a chose to stand on the corner instead of getting a real job. In fact they can make more standing than they could working a real job. Of course there are some that it is not a...

    Does anyone know where I can buy some sisal material?!!!!!

    I got some of the rope from Walmart.  It was NOT oiled or treated in any kind of way.  I had seen the oiled/treated rope at Lowes so knew what it would smell and feel like.  The rope from Walmart was even lighter in color due to it being "natural". Good luck with your search. Kim

    What Do You Do With Gifts That You Don't Like or Don't Want.

    I am a Kindergarten teacher.  I get quite a few gifts from the kids. I put the gift up in the classroom for all to see. Once it has been up for two weeks I take it home. Once it is home I put it in the dog rescue bag. They have a resell shop to help fund the dogs. If it is from a family member...

    Childless by choice/Childfree

    My third date question was always "When you grow up do you want to have kids?" No matter what they answered we would have a good talk about it. IF they were firm on the wanting kids I did not continue the relationship unless it was just as friends.  My now husbands answer was "I am never growing...

    I'm back on my budget (with a twist)

    I do not do it with money. Instead I do it with computer time.  I will do one big thing then allow myself 15 mins. or so of computer time. It works for me. As for money I almost always buy myself something on payday. It might be something like a new toy for the dogs or cats or it might be new...

    Insurance Companies (Long)

    Where my husband works tried to do something like that. They had to do an on-line Health Risk Assessment (HRA). Of course NONE of them told how much beer they drank and made up all kinds of numbers for the "important" questions. BUT what the company did NOT tell them was that they had to wait 5...

    can i take my cat to petco?

    Why would you want to take a cat out like a dog? Just because you can do something does not mean you should. There are VERY few cats that would be able to handle something like that. Of all of the cats I have and have had there is only one that we would even think of doing something like that...
