Ladle, Heck Yeah!! Great for pouring spag sauce into canning jars, or Foodsaver bags!

Potato Masher--I use it quite a bit for, well, mashing taters! Also it's awesome for mixing ground meats together, and for whipping up a quick batch of egg salad--I use a potato masher before I use an egg slicer. Just easier that way.

Least used kitchen tool...probably my Electric knife. I don't know why I still hold onto it, but it's in the drawer. I think the last time it was used was to cut the evaporative cooler pads for our swamp cooler...in spring, 2007!

SIXTY DOLLARS to have even pieces? Here's a thought. Take some unwaxed floss, and use THAT to cut the cake slices.

Save the money and d/l the Happy birthday song from iTunes for 99 cents! TADA!

Cheep3r5 is right...soak fabric in liquid bleach, apply to wall, and let dry...kinda like a fabric wallpaper. Peel off when finished. I saw a friend do this to her military housing walls and it was gorgeous!

LOVE it!! Imagine all the various size wheels that could create the clocks! I think of the tricycle size...wheelbarrow sizes.

I have a clock that is on the wall...it is a kit I found at Hobby Lobby and I painted a black square on this wall above the entertainment center. On the border, I hot-glued a fancy gold braiding rope, then I painted the hands gold and it looks pretty darn cool!

HERE is a picture of the clock on my wall.

We installed a motion sensor lightswitch in our laundry room, which was SO helpful when we'd walk in there from the garage. The cat box was in the laundry room, but the cat never activated it. Very handy item.

We also installed one over the garage door outside, again, very helpful. I had to install "covers" on the actual switches so we wouldn't turn off the power to the motion sensor!

My vacuum cleaner beater bar would freak out, and die. NOPE, not my cuppajoe!

I have a TV that I bought in November, 1993...16 years ago! The only thing wrong with it is the 'on/off' button on the front of it is permanently broken, so we have to use a remote to turn it on and off. (oh, and ex-hubby accidentally threw away the original remote, but universal remotes work just as well.)

I bought a computer (Compaq when it was still Compaq!) in 2001. I managed to replace the fan, sound card, video card, install a network card, max the RAM, and upgraded the OS (from WinME to XP)...it's still working for my stepson. Yeah, it can have some problems, but it's working for its purpose--for him to play computer games & 'edutainment.' I was using this Compaq until last October, when a windfall came my way...and then I bought a laptop that I plan on keeping for a long while.

My stereo equipment...Let's see, All but the turntable (yeah!) are Sony Brand and I've had great luck with that brand for audio electronics. My receiver was bought in 1992, along with the 5 disk CD player, and dual cassette player. Upgraded the speakers in '95 to Bose and they still rock! (pun intended!)....

In other words, I'll keep it until it breaks! Okay, there are 2 TV's that are an exception to the rule. We just didn't need them anymore--we chose to get the TV out of the bedrooms. However, we Freecycled them and they aren't in our garage anymore!

I've been using a pair of headphones from Panasonic that are flat enough that I can sleep on my side w/o any discomfort. I use earplugs (due to hubby's snoring!) and I can hear the music well w/ the headphones & earplugs.

A couple things:

A. Got rid of the ex-husband! He was such a downer and negative thinking person. Found a new man and he is my life, my love and my world!

B. The TV in the bedroom. New Hubby suggested it, and even though I've had a TV in a bedroom for a long time, I don't really miss it. I <B>have to have a radio in the bedroom though!! Hubby just bought me a clock radio w/ an iPod dock and boy howdy I'm lovin' it!

Okay, I guessed NOW only because everything comes back in style...so maybe I'll be right after all....like a forecaster!
