Besides, no matter how often I wash them, I'm still wearing the clothes, so no matter when I wash, I will wash a lot of clothing. Where do I put the "worn once's" if not in the hamper? Where do I air them out? Wouldn't using Febreze or something be just as costly as laundry soap? Putting them back into the closet seems like I would wear clothes a whole lot or mess up the clean clothes.

A phone in a glittery case.
Watch For Faulty Surge Protector When ChargingMy phone died a slow death. The battery melted the casing, and the battery was too old to be replaced. When I replaced it, the whole phone, darn it, and charged up the new phone, I realized it was blazing hot! Even the wall adapter was hot. At first, I thought it was the wall adapter, tossed it, was too cheap. No, it was the bad surge protector. It was free to me, which probably meant it wasn't supposed to be used in the first place, oops. Well, I was penny wise and dollar foolish. Check your adapters. If they're hot, check what's causing that. I had to buy a NEW phone, gosh! Yes, I also bought a new case for it. Sue me for free, lol.

The finished personalized statue.
Personalized StatueMy grandson is involved in soccer and has a bedroom decorated with a soccer theme. I thought he would enjoy this handmade "statue" of him in his soccer uniform. This is a fun and fairly easy project if you have skills using a scroll saw. Otherwise, you might be able to use stiff cardboard and a razor blade knife to get similar results.

Sad Female Muscovy?Good morn. What can I do for my 2 year old muscovy (Milly)? Last year, Milly and Mortermer (other muscovy) both had clutches. Milly hatched 2 out then throughout the day, Mortermer stole the rest of her eggs and would not let Milly anywhere near them. I had to fence Milly with the other duck. Mortamer was getting vicious. It was very sad, you could tell which ones were Milly's. Anyhow since then, Milly has changed a lot. She seems very angry and does nothing but quack all day, wants out of the yard at the crack of dawn and waddles herself down to creek and takes everyone with her. Is there anything I can do for her? She's not my happy go lucky Milly. We did keep one of hers thinking it might help but no. It was her first clutch and Mortermer's second.

Filtering it helps but the major way to change the flavor is to find some herbs (lavender or mint), vegetable slices (celery, ginger, or cucumber), or fruit (lemon, lime, strawberries, or grapefruit). The trick is to find ones you like to fuse with water and make them taste better for your consumption. Here are some other ways to help you get the water you need each day:

Foods containing fiber.
Fiber Is The WordDoes your diet contain complex carbs, lean protein, healthy fats, and fiber? Fish, lean meats such as beef or pork, dairy products, and fruits and vegetables include these needed nutrients. The body needs certain nutrients to help it remain healthy, lose weight, maintain weight, and live longer. Instead of counting and keeping track of calories, it might be easier to keep track of fiber. In doing so, you may begin automatically to look for foods such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruit which are usually lower in calories than other foods.

Could anyone give me any advice to save this cherished item of mine? I'd greatly appreciate it!

A vintage doll.
Identifying a Vintage Doll?I found this doll at Goodwill Outlet, and it looks antique. The fabric torso seems age stained, and her clothes seem old. Her face looks hand painted. Her face, legs/feet, and arms/hands seem like porcelain or bisque. Her feet make a clinking noise when tapped together, and feel kind of sandy/gritty when rubbed together. The back of her neck has markings on it, and we believe we found the manufacturer, Alresford crafts in England. (I'm not completely sure so please correct me if I'm wrong).

A drawing of a panda bear toy.
Please Help Find Lost Childhood Plush?When I was around 6 years old, my late granddad gave me a stuffed panda. I cherished that panda and it was the only thing I had left of him. For personal reasons, this panda is no longer in my possession. For the past 5 years since I lost this plush, I have been restless. It is 4 in the morning and I haven't slept. I know this panda is irreplaceable, but nothing in the entire world could make me happier than seeing this plush just one more time, even if it's just a photo. I need closure. I remember the basic look of the panda, so I drew it digitally in the picture above. It is the most I remember of the panda and the best reference I can give. I remember it having plastic, oval shaped eyes. I also know that it is probably really old, and that it had an earth symbol in the middle. I don't know for sure if the earth was in color, but it's possible. The squiggly lines on the top and bottom of the symbol are the words that I remember being there. If only I could remember what they said, what the company was. Please, can you help find this panda? I have been searching for years but have had no luck. Maybe you will, because this is my last resort. I am hoping against hope that someone out there can help.

Adding foil to the sides of a candle.
How to Fix Candle Tunneling With FoilWhen you have wax buildup on the sides of a jar candle, it's called tunneling. If a candle was not burned for long enough the first few times it was lit, the wax that was melted will be softer, even after it hardens again. This is called the wax memory. Each time you relight your candle, this wax will be the first to melt, and then it will start melting downwards rather than outward. This video shows you a tip on how to fix this problem.

Chantel (Grey Tabby)We lost our dear cat Patton a few days before Christmas 2020 to renal failure, leaving us petless for the first time in over 20 years. The local Humane Society was by appointment only so my husband and I decided to check out Petsmart to see if they had any cats for adoption. We found this little charmer who was about 15 weeks old. She was all alone, as her brother had been adopted out the day before and there were no other cats at the time. She was allowed to climb on the tops of the cages and explore the back room so she didn't get bored. She was defintely in need of someone to play with her. So we adopted her on December 23rd.

The clipboard gallery wall.
Clipboard Gallery WallIf your kid is anything like mine, there is a slew of artwork being made each day. I wanted a way to display my child's art in a way that could be easily changed. This is the solution I came up with. I wanted to be able to have both verticle and horizontal pieces of art, so I got two sizes of clipboards so that art would be contained within the parameters of the clipboard. I added some patterned contact paper to some of the clipboards to add interest and also painted the clips black to match. In retrospect, I don't think the contact paper was needed, as I am sure these will always be full.

Stop Dog from Eating PoopMy dog has always found feces to be a delicacy and I have been unable to stop her from doing this. You can buy supplements in pet stores that supposedly address this issue, but I've never tried them. I started giving my dog turmeric powder as an anti-inflammatory for her joint issues, and discovered after a week or two on this, she wasn't interested in the poop. I don't know if this is just a coincidence or not, but it's worth a try. Turmeric powder can be purchased at grocery stores, health food stores, but the cheapest place to buy it is in an ethnic grocery store (Indian, Asian, etc). Check with your vet or sitstay.com for dosage amounts based on body weight.

My grandmother emigrated from the UK using this trunk, via ship in the '40s after meeting and marrying my grandfather during WW2.

Recently someone pointed out the swastika imprinted on the top of the trunk which I had never seen before and no one left in the family to ask about it - any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

DIY Oil Slick NailsOil slick nails are super cute, but the price you pay to get them done at the salon is insane. You can do them yourself at home for a mere fraction of the price. Plus, you get enough chrome powder to do them many, many times over.

The turkey with a stuffing package inside.
How to Easily Stuff and Unstuff a TurkeyOne member of my family insists on stuffing cooked in the turkey at Thanksgiving. I do that, as well as a separate casserole of stuffing. I noticed that much of the stuffing that goes into the bird gets stuck in the nooks and crannies. And it's kind of a pain to stuff the bird and have to find a way to keep it from spilling out.

I would like to restore it as much as possible but I don't know what colors it was.

It has 4 little rollers on the bottom and is missing the lock.

Zebra Finch Newborns Left Alone?I just added two pair of Zebra Finches to my Quail aviary about three months ago. Provided nests, nesting material and food conducive to breeding. One pair started building a nest within a week. About three weeks in, I noticed one finch was ALWAYS in the nest so I assumed they are sitting on eggs. Based on the date, I figured the babies should hatch about the 20th of November. There was always one or the other finch in the nest at all times. I noticed on the 20th, both were out and every time I came out for the next two days they were always out of the nest. I finally decided to look inside but it was a straw nest with very small opening (not a wood nest box with lifting lid) so I couldn't see anything. On the 23rd, I decided to put my finger in and I felt flesh with no movement or sounds. I assumed the babies hatched and then died as a result of being abandoned. I brought the nest into the house and snipped the top half open to see what I could see. There were at least three maybe four babies that appeared dead. When i went to pick one up it moved slightly and made a small sound. I immediately closed the nest back up, tied it closed and put it back in the aviary in hopes that the parents would go back to the nest. Is it possible or did the parent abandon them and it is just taking a while for them to die?

I got her at a thrift store and wanted to know more about her. She didn't come with a name, but it said exclusively designed, hand painted and created. So I don't know if that means she's a one of a kind or if there are dolls like her. On her neck, it says 85 Leonardo, and I found she was sold in Kmart. I've seen other dolls like her (face, eyes, hair color and style) but I don't know if it's the same because blue eyes and blond hair are common. Searched the heck outta her brand, (Collectible Memories exclusive) and didn't find much. Again, I'm no expert so the stuff I might know can be completely wrong.

Dog Peeing On Everything?My dog is 14. Five years ago, she tore both her hocks one at a time. She is now peeing on everything in the house, even herself when she is laying down. She does it inside and out. She also has a very hard time getting up. I brought her to the vet and all she did is give me Gabapentin. She said it's for her arthritis. She is also now having bowel movements in the house. All she does is sleep 90% of the time or just stares into space. She always faces away from me. (My husband passed in March and she always clung to him). I am wondering if she is in pain? Is it time for her to go? I asked the vet and no response. She used to play with the other dog even if it was just a couple of minutes but hasn't done that in a while. Any ideas would help.

Anyways what's been going on is that my Bratz dolls keep getting this weird dark color on them. I will admit I play with them every day and sometimes I even wash them up from time to time. I thought that my natural oils from my fingertips ( from touching them every day) might be the problem...or the clothes that they are wearing. Because the dolls that don't get played with (which is on display ) aren't as dirty as these you see in the picture. The ones in the picture get played with VERY frequently.

Repairing Childhood Blanket?My childhood blanket was used recently (well, a few months ago) as a kennel cover for a friend's puppy and my husband has left it outside in the rain since then. My grandmother made it to be able to fold into a pillow as well (hence the extra fabric piece at the bottom). There is also places missing that were there before he left it outside. Is there a way to salvage it and remove the mold without further damage? (P.s. he's already upset with himself about it)

What Is This Desk?I bought this desk from someone who didn't know anything about it. It is in reasonably good shape with all drawers in good condition. Some areas of the veneer have bubbled up on the back, but none of it has peeled off. I am just trying to understand what it is (style) and how old it might be or where it might have been made. It is very heavy.

I found it under the window, not sure if that helps or not. Can anyone tell me what it is? It appears to have wings. And it's so small, I'm not even sure how I saw it in the first place. I put it in tape so I could look at it, so don't mind that bit. I'm in the Midwest US.

A small scrape on an arm.
Ease Itchy Rashes or ScrapesI once discovered a small rash on my arm; then a scrape on my elbow. I've also had cuts and splinters, etc. For me, cuts and scrapes hurt the most so I subconsciously lightly rubbed the rash, scrape, scratch, etc. and felt it become less itchy almost immediately. You may want to ask a doctor, but using this trick has always helped relieve my itchy sores, such as those listed above. I'd advise others to ask a professional before using my tip, but who knows? If it's safe and as it works for me, maybe it can work for you. Good luck!

Repairing A Glider Chair?The screws in my 30+ year-old glider (used daily) are getting loose again. I have tightened/replaced them several times over the years, so now the wood has been reamed by the screws. I thought I'd drill holes all the way through and fasten with nuts and bolts. I bought wing nuts and lock washers to use with the bolts, figuring it would be easier to get my small hands in the tight spaces than to use conventional nuts and a wrench. Has anyone tried replacing screws with nuts/bolts?

An inflamed tongue piercing.
Is My Tongue Piercing Infected?I've had my tongue piercing in for over 10 years, and recently I took it out due to an operation. After a month of it out, I've decided to put it back in. However once in, my tongue instantly swelled up and a massive hard lump formed around the hole. One big lump, from top of the piercing to the bottom of it, and due to the pain, I had to take it out again. It feels like scar tissue has been agitated and it hurts a lot. So not sure if it could be an abscess or just an irritation and it will go away, or I actually need to seek help? Shall I put it back in and see if it goes down or leave it out?

A dog in a living room.
Princess (Shih Tzu)About 3 years ago I rescued her from an abusive owner. The original owner kept her in a very small cage with only minimal light and refused to let her out. It took almost 3 weeks for her to stop shaking and start eating and being a loved puppy. Now she's a happy and healthy dog.

Sewing Machine Stitches Too Short?I have a Brother CS6000i. It's about one year old. The stitches are 1/2 mm too short. It was working just fine and then when I went to do a zigzag stitch, I noticed it wasn't right. I took the machine apart, cleaned it VERY WELL, which it wasn't bad to begin with, but a good cleaning always helps, except in this case.

Walk Safely on Slippery AreasWhen dealing with ice or any type of slippery areas, just remember rubber bands. Take some rubber bands and place them around your shoes from the toes to the heels. Just make sure they're snug but not cutting off circulation. When you walk, the rubber bands will give you extra traction on any surface. I personally keep some wide rubber bands around when ice forms on my driveway or sidewalk.

A Christmas tree with some of the lights out.
Half Section of Pre-lit Tree Lights Out?The bottom part of the top piece of my pre-lit tree went out. These lights are wired in parallel, so if one goes out, the others stay lit. The whole top section is on the same strand and I've checked every single bulb in the bottom part that is out and they are all securely in the socket. I've even checked the fuses, although the top of the strand is still lit. If I remove one bulb, the whole strand goes out. If I replace a bulb in the section that is out with one I've already tested, the section still stays dark. It doesn't make sense. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

Identifying a Stuffed Bear?I've had this stuffed animal since the late 80s or early 90s and am wondering where it came from and if I can buy a second one for my kids. It's about the size of a 6 month old human baby. I thought it might be Gund, but I can't find anything similar in their archives. It has no tag. Any tips appreciated. Google image search has not worked for me.

A plate of herbs and spices.
Using Herbs And SeasoningsDon't overdo seasonings. Pick a theme. For instance, you aren't going to need bell peppers, onions, garlic, lemon, chili, basil and oregano in the same dish. The flavors will compete and you'll be wasting. As a general rule, pick three seasonings and taste it.
