I have never used a bleach pen and am wondering if this could be a fun/safe project for kids. I was thinking of using colored t-shirts and having kids "draw" with the bleach pen. What do you think?

Their explanation of the name: "The name "Jig-A-Loo" can be traced all the way back to 1958, when the product inventor finally came up with the right formula and exclaimed, "Ti-gi-dou!...

upon further research I should say that my experience has everything to do with my gardening zone. Apparently, Caladiums in the NE need much more tender care. Bummer. Guess TX does have something g...

Great pictures but have to disagree with your description of Caladium, or elephant ears. At least in Texas, these plants can just be planted and left alone. Not only will they grow wi...

Yep, I grew up around dowel-window-holder-openers and still have all 10 fingers :)

hmmm, the sight seems to be down at the moment. Specifically, it says, "We've reached our Google Maps API limit and are in touch with Google to get the site back up. Add to Favo...

I can't remember the last time I used bar soap. And I know I am not the only one who, upon seeing these soap dishes, immediately thought of the gunk factor. In fact, isn't this the type of post tha...

If it makes you happy then go for it. However, everyday I drive by a house that has fake flowers in their "garden" and it bugs me. I'm sure it's a lovely house, but I only see it as t...

germaphobes do touch things in the real world - they just try to avoid the nastiest things. Nothing is nastier than the first place people touch after wiping their pee or poo. For man...

RS, I thought the exact same thing. The comment was: "Speaking of new products, I just picked up a box of Kleenex Expressions, the new, hip oval box with modish patterns. I love them! ...

Please don't be fooled by mattresses wrapped in plastic. That is absolutely no guarantee of anything because some disreputable mattress sellers just seal used mattresses in new plastic. It's not th...

Check out "Kirk's Amazing Memory," the Smallest Coolest Apt. just a couple of posts above this one. The first picture of his might give you some ideas.

paint a regular fridge.

shoot, people should do it if only because it's easier to carry 2 canvas bags than 12 plastic bags. And is it just me or are those plastic bags getting smaller and smaller such that they only put l...
