CLR didn't even touch the water stains. Nothing did except citric acid.
Tips of all kinds!

Vinegar will work as well as citric acid. Vinegar is a good all purpose glass and counter cleaner as well as getting "pet smell" out of fabrics..
Vinegar did nothing to remove the stain.
I tried everything that was suppose to work and citric acid was the only thing that did the job.
My bet it was the 3M pad in conjunction with the citric acid.

putting a pan of water on your wood stove or kerosene and some gas heaters help the comfort level in a room, throw in tea and you got...
well, you got tea. what did you expect?
Cheap $ store coffee filters make great tea bags if you staple them into a "D" after filling.

I currently have a spider bite on my arm. It started looking worse a few days ago, I have been putting Walmart brand mouthwash on it, via cotton ball! Looks a lot better already!! We had a holistic neighbor when I was little, she always used mouthwash on bites and stings!

Some spider bites can be really bad. I've seen scars on people from spider bites.
I ordered something for insect bites because I am always on the go and spend a lot of time outdoors. I had to order three. I keep one in my zipper pouch in my daily bag. One day I read the active ingredient. It is the same thing as baking soda. Live and learn. Maybe it would be good to keep some baking soda in my first aid kit, too, just for bites.
Vinegar and tea work great also! I know I've posted this before, but I was bitten by a Black Widow about 12 years ago. I have emotional scars from that one!!
WOW, really bad!!

For mosquito bites I use some good thick toothpaste. put a dab on the bite and the itch goes away.
I don't have many mosquitoes here in montana except in the watered garden at about dusk then they sneak up on you before you know it. (our season is short, it's snowing again today).
I have used the toothpaste trick when traveling up north. Even wearing a mosquito head net and staying covered I still would get bites so while traveling I would dab the toothpast on my face and hands. After traveling down the dusty roads I didn't realize how bad I looked to other people when I stopped for gas.....

Never saw that before. Need to do a little more research into this.

I think Leah at 5 acres and a dream has done some research and experimenting with them if I recall correctly.
Thank you
How can one not LOVE this place!?!?
I used to make mini quiches I muffin tins for parties. I've found that freezing them and pulling out a few for a quick breakfast. You can us a pie crust to line the cups or not. Both taste good to me and eliminating the crust saves a bit of time.
I make up 10 pounds of meatloaf mix.
To bake in medium muffin tins for several dozen is great.
Also use miniature loaf pans for more than 1 servings.
Meatloaf burgers with wax paper between them, frozen.
Also use 3 in pie pans to make miniature shepard's pie to fill the freezers.

I did that when I was working. Easy to get ready in the morning.
If you're worried about spacing in the garden, use the bottom of a muffin tin.
Perfect spacing pretty much every time.
Unless you're 5 years old and can barely see over raised bed rims.
Then it might be wocky.

Ever find keys or something that someone might probably want back? Some people pick them up and take them, but if we can help the person find their lost item, it will serve them better than it does us.
