People seem to like to use a big squirt of dish soap, even though a few drops is all you really need. What’s the fun of a few drops when you can make a big squirt? that $1.59 bottle of detergent is crippling you financially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can you tell us about food processors? I have a “blended” answer for you......I have a new Dolly Parton’s chest size food processor. That’s what happens when you add a vegetarian (and their vegetarian family) to your family. This thing dices too! How exciting is THAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 12 hours ago, Augie said: Sorry, maybe off topic a bit, but we went to Hilton Head this summer and Publix there has gotten rid of the plastic grocery bags. They have gone to paper or your reusable. Now I have to buy their poop bags for my dog!!! THAT is my hack, grocery bags for poop bags! What kind of Lysol container do you stick them in? We just shove a bunch of bags into one bag under the kitchen sink, then a working supply in chest by the front door. Try plastic bread bags or produce bags. I find the grocery bags big and bulky, and to often have little holes on the seams (yucckh). You may not collect enough bread or produce bags on your own, but if you put out the APB with the neighbors, you get extra recycling Karma Points.

It allows me to squirt without guilt. It also reduces the number of times that we might run out and not have a replacement. We aren’t organized enough to always have another bottle ready to go, and I am too lazy to be running out to the store in between major trips.

I liked the first one I went to in Athens, GA by UGA, mostly because it was new and cool to me. The food was not special in a good way. There is one about 1.5 miles from my house (I go the the adjacent Mexican joint 2-3 times/month), and I was disappointed so many times I haven’t been inside in several years. Maybe I’ll give it another try since a recent renovation. . Edited October 9, 2019 by Augie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box elder bugs? When the female box elders hoard up and head from the trees to warmth of houses for winter. Put laundry soap in hose sprayer. Wash the siding, brick... It gives them wicked "dermatitis" if not drowns them. Also: For perimeter defense, diatomaceous earth is safe, effective. They pass through and cuts their exoskeleton to ribbons.

A spray bottle of isopropyl alcohol is an excellent stain remover on carpets. A carpet cleaner guy taught me that, and gave every realtor a bottle to get started. I thanked him, because I never had to pay him anything! (I’m sure he got work from it.) Most carpet cleaners make the carpet crusty and “stuff” sticks to it eventually. .
