When you don't have a hammer to put the nail in the wall, just use the handle of your gun if you're a bible thumper or the handle of the broom if you're not.

Yes, but make sure the gun is loaded so that it is heavier and has more momentun. That will help you drive in the nail better.

We were looking to put up a thread that was just for fun, Petrous.

Thanks for bringing controversy to it already.

Good grief.

Goatman:

Please post that tomato soup recipe for me.

Can't wait to try it! n

tomato soup? open the can, put it into a dish - microwave for a minute and a half - goes good with grilled onions, pickles and cheese sannies!

p.s. - when re-roofing your house, be sure to use the cut-off at the other end to begin your next row. trust me on this one (for roofs with no valleys).

Homemade, Nanc...HOMEMADE!

I don't buy soup in a can anymore. Haven't for a few years.

It's so much better homemade.

Sorry, Lisa. I just wanted to help bring your topic to the back page.

Simple recipe.

Round pretzels on tray.
Put hershey kiss on top of pretzel.
Put in oven at about 100 degrees and watch melt.
Take out of oven when chocolate is soft and press M&M into center.
Let cool.

Simple, tasty treat.

For the intelligent ones - remove the hershey kiss silver wrapper first.

Also, take M&M's out of their wrapper, too.

For the kinky, mix the M&Ms with Skittles.
Have a little S&M with your chocolate pretzel.

i'm not a big tomato soup fan, but i do love tortilla soup with fresh tomatoes in it and i like to leave the chicken in it also - loads of cilantro and garlic - big chunk of queso and homemade tortilla chips - now i'm hungry!

petrous - that sounds suspiciously like my "pms potato chips" recipe...

I'm not a fan of it either Nanc. But my husband and youngest son LOVE it. So, I'll make it for them.

I never had Tortilla Soup. But it sounds good!

My favorite soup

Menudo

Ingredients

* 1 pound beef tripe, cut into small squares
* 3 fresh cloves garlic, minced
* 3 teaspoons salt
* 1/2 cup red chile powder
* 2 teaspoons oregano leaves
* 1 tablespoons coarse black pepper
* 1 teaspoons cumin powder
* 1/2 small onion chopped
* 1 small can hominy, yellow or white

Directions

Place beef tripe into a pot of boiling water, just enough to cover the tripe. Add garlic and onions and salt. Cover and cook for about 1 hour. When tripe is tender add the remaining ingredients including the hominy and cook about 15 or 20 minutes longer. Add more salt if needed. This is a spicy dish and it goes well with cilantro and a twist of lime. Corn tortillas are a good compliment.

It's ok Petrous!

OMGosh..I wish I could eat chocolate cuz that recipe sounds good!!

Dang it!

My favorite soup:

Matzo ball.

Recipe: ask Grandma to make some.

it is to die for and one of the soupy-soups my family will eat. they're more thick and cheesy, creamy type soup people. of course, those soups call for my homemade croutons.

they're more thick and cheesy

Does your family know you blog about them like that?

rasta - i love menudo, but haven't had it in about 30 years.

Menudo, a very, very, very, bad boy band!

Great, Lisa!

I'll probably have a ton of questions about "how do I do _______" and "how can I fix _______"

Thanks. Hope your thread goes up every week.

Chris:

It's not MY thread...it's OUR thread. It was a collaberation.

And I'm sure there will be many here waiting to help you with your questions.

Tip I got from Larry Mohr a couple years ago --

To get rid of ants use powdered "Borax 20 Mule Team" you can buy in the detergent section of your market.

The L.A. fires have brought a lot of ants around due to all the heat and sprinkling Borax along the entry ways to the doors has helped a lot to keep those little critters away.

#23

LOL

Stop it!!!

That's not quite homemade like Nanc was refering to.

Borax is good for roaches and scorpions too. Drys the shit out of bugs.

Cool Chris!

I don't have an ant problem here though.

However....living in a wooded area, my son and I were having lunch one day and I caught something on the stairs out of the corner of my eye....and it was moving!!

I looked up and here came a mouse, ran down our stairs, through the living room and into the kitchen.

I just jumped up on the top of my leather chair and yelled "HONEYYYYYY...HELPPPPP"!!!!

We went and got some traps but have seen nothing since.

Thank goodness!!

#25 -- Lisa -- I know it's "our" thread but thanks to you for putting the thread up and giving us a place to throw all our ideas out for everyone to see.

TO DR GUYS --

this isn't just a thread for women's household tips and recipies. If you have any good tips on car repairs, wood repair, painting, how to clean your gun (lol) or anything else someone might find handy, just write 'em down.

#22 | Posted by rasta - the food is delicious, but i'll continue in my evil manner, thank you.

okay, now for my special crouton recipe:

in your freezer save all your stale bread ends in a large ziploc bag until the bag is full - remove from freezer, thaw and cut into one inch cubes - return to bag and melt one cube of real butter and pour over bread cubes in bag, gently shaking so butter is evenly distributed - just start grabbing spices from the spice cupboard - garlic, italian seasonings, whatever you like and sprinkle onto the buttered bread cubes - place on lined cookie sheets and place in 175-200 degree oven for about six or seven hours - remove from oven and cool. sometimes i like to sprinkle grated parmesan on them as an added treat.

OK...here's a laundry tip:

Instead of buying Spray N Wash or any other expensive stain remover spray, buy Nels Naptha Soap.

It's so much cheaper, works so much better and lasts forever!!

Thanks for adding that for the guys, Chris.

#31 from nanc --

YUM! Thanks.

Hey thanks Nanc.

Seems very easy!

as for stains - if you spill coffee, tea or juice on your shirt - take the shirt and dip it into the container of liquid - rinse and wash - much easier than trying to remove it! HA!

i will not eat at rasta's - he wants to poison me.

OMGosh...If you like chocolate...this cake is for you!

#38

LOL

Well that is true Nanc.

But sometimes my family doesn't alert me that they spilled something on their clothes till I actually see it in the wash...after it's set!!

okay - here's one for those with smoke alarms - we've had one chirping for about a week - i go into every room to hear which one it is, to no avail - a. should i replace the batteries in every one? or b. take a hammer to each one, one at a time until i discover the culprit smoke alarm? there are seven or eight of the little noisemakers.

a little trick i learned while camping a couple of months ago - we were gathering wood for our campfire and there was plenty as we had an ice storm come through earlier in the year - i was dragging cedar limbs and ended up with pitch all over my hands and nothing to clean it off with so tried our bug repellent - just sprayed a small amount on my hands, rubbed them together and it wiped off with a paper towel - be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward - bug repellent flavored hamburger buns do not taste good.

LOL

Too funny Nanc.

I help care for the mother of my husbands best friend. She has alziemers (sp?).

One day while I was there helping with her laundry, her very, very old smoke alarm was chirping as if there was smoke.

I kid you not, I took the battery out of it and it kept on chirping! I took the thing outside and put it under a bucket...it was driving me nuts.

I have no idea why that did that. I would have thought once the battery came out, it would have stopped.

I think it was possessed!

WHY DO THEY KEEP CHIRPING EVEN AFTER THE BATTERY IS REMOVED?!? it's driving me nutzier!

Here's a couple I'm pretty sure everyone knows.

To remove ink from clothing spray with hair spray and rub.

Freeze your candles before burning them...they last much longer.

I have no idea. It's spooky to me!! lol

keep your popcorn in the freezer and it won't burn when popping.

stretch your laundry detergent:

one 64 ounce bottle of the cheapest laundry detergent you can find

add a 1/2 cup of palmolive liquid w/oxyclean

shake

use a quarter capful rather than a full cap - also makes a good stain remover.

Want to know how to remove hooker blood from a shag carpet?

Oh, this is probably the wrong thread for that.

The peroxide should kill those germs, Kan.

If not, replace carpet.

kanrei - let me go slice one of my cats open on the carpet and try to clean it up with peroxide and i'll get back to you - 'kay? >^00^< mew.

If you want to smoke pot in the dorms, simply take a Bounty dryer sheet and stick it in a toilet roll. Blow all the smoke throught the roll and it will make your room smell like you just did laundry.

so lisa

can I put my famous recipe for tuna helper here..

first of all you look for a fork somewhere around the living room by the tv where you used it the last time

then you look through the sink for a bowl that wasnt used before last week
pick out the last tuna helper still stuck to it and wipe it off

open the tuna helper part and dump it all in with one can of tuna........the opened one by the cat's liter box will do..

mix it all together and put it in microwave for 12 mins every now and then opening the door for the stuff to go back down after boiling over.

let it sit for about an hour and then pray

during the hour you are waiting the line at the sonic should be short enough

#44 | Posted by Lisa

The alarms have a capacitator that stores electricity, the capacitator will slowly discharge in time. Kind of like how you could get a nasty shock when working on old tv's even if they were unplugged.

capacitator= capacitor.

I just had fries for lunch.

LMBO

You are soooo dorky!!!

The sad part about your post BL2...is that, that is exactly what you do!!!

LOL

I keep telling you to get a house cleaner, number one! I keep telling you a box of Tuna Helper does not constitute you "cooking", like you like to believe it is!!

Call me when you really make a meal...like a meat, vegetable and salad or something.

BTW...Sonic stinks!!!! YUCK!!

Stop using my lines!

Lol

I save toilet paper rolls and use them as bio degradable pots when I start seeds.

Vermiculture/Vermicompost

Need:

- 2 18 Gallon Plastic Containers - $5/ea
- Shredded paper (regular paper, not glossy) news paper is fine since most printers use soy based inks.
- Cardboard box, flattened. (don't use coated cardboard)
- Other organic waste (vegetable peelings, apple cores, egg shells, tea bags, coffee grounds)
- Red wigglers are the "best" worm to use, but really any earth worm will work.

What to do:

Soak cardboard and shredded paper and wring out excess. Should be like a damp, wrung out sponge.

Drill holes in the bottom, sides and top of one of the containers (this is the main compartment). put a couple bricks, old coffee mugs, whatever in the bottom of the other container to elevate the main compartment.

Layer the cardboard and shredded paper in the main compartment then dump in your worms. Don't let them sit out in direct sunlight, but put them under a bright enough light that they'll burrow into the bedding. Peel back some of the bedding and put in their food (other organic waste). Cover the food, put the lid on the container.

Feed and water them occasionally. If they're trying to escape they've either run out of food, their bedding is used up or it's too hot/dry or wet. The bottom container will catch "worm tea". Mix this stuff with water and use as a root drench for plants.

What a great idea, Axiom!!!

I am definately doing this!

Thanks!

I do this in my kitchen. It doesn't smell foul. You can harvest the worm castings once they've started getting busy in there. The castings can be used as a side dress for vegetables or plants or as a potting soil or seed starting medium.

There's a few dozen models of "worm condo's" on the market that go from 80 to 200 bucks. Far too expensive for something that can be done on the cheap.

I purchased my 2lbs of worms from this guy...

I can't take credit for this idea, by the way. I was researching composting and came across various methods of vermicomposting.

Seems to make more sense to do it this way since I can extend the use of the compost by brewing a tea and using it as a foliar spray or a root drench. I'll substitute with compost from my hot pile when necessary.

For whatever reason you decide to do it, just remember there's a list of things that are okay in a compost/vermicompost set up. I haven't had to go to the county dump in a couple of weeks. I haven't totally stopped putting trash in the landfill, but I put a lot less in now because I just compost it all minus the plastic and animal flesh.

I'm copying all this Axiom so I will remember it all...thanks again!

Okay, I'm not reading this thread now, but it's a very cool idea. DR community in action! I hope it becomes regular.

Now maybe Jon and I should start a regular education thread. (grin)

By the by, I must be one of those lazy teachers, but I can't figure out this back page business. I'm gonna blame it on my browser. Yeaaah, that's it; it's the browser.

Of course, maybe I shouldn't figure it out. I spend enough time here...

Oh, wait. RE back page, I really am dumb. (Shit, there's some bait for you.) Just scroll down, Teacher Man.

Are you Blonde, Prag?

LMAO. I'm a natural blonde--well, ash blonde they call it. It's really light brown. (Which means I'm full of...) Well, gray now.

(Nice how I set myself up, eh?)

Make some dough and flatten it really well so it is very thin.

Create pinholes throughout the dough.

Wrap it around a column of ice and form the dough around the shape. Be careful not to close the pinholes. If you do, you'll need to create more.

Make sure to keep one end of the ice is uncovered.

Bake until the dough hardens. The ice will melt, allowing the shape to be intact.

Dip in chocolate.

Enjoy as you like.

Out of rubbers? Use a sheet of Bounce as a condom substitute! The anti-static agent will attract and isolate all those spermatozoid mofos.

Got a bleeding wound? A sheet of Bounce will stop the blood and provide antiseptic treatment.

Bounce works well and provides a nice fresh smell when cleaning your weapons.

Kitchen sink water filter blocked up? Just take it off and use Bounce for filtration instead.

Just a hint, if you run out of toilet paper use a sheet of Bounce instead, can rinse and repeat.

pot brownies

1 oz shitty pot that wont get you high in the traditional way

1 stick butter

saute pot in butter until it almost ignites--the whole trailer will smell like shitty weed.

add to one box jiffy shitty brownie mix and bake per shitty directions.

these will taste like shit but you will not care. keep 'em away from shorties and pets--don't drive into town for a six-pack

#91 | Posted by badgerwest

Yep, butter is mandatory, otherwise you won't absorb it.

Advice for sufferers of various types of pain.

Toothaches-find the closest section of the Interstate near you where semis run, and pull off the road, get out of your car-and see how many semis you can chew the lugnuts off of.

For Migraines-instead of chewing off their lugnuts-try kissing their headlights as they pass.

If neither procedure works-you should probably have someone take you to the nearest Emergency room(because of the Massive Trauma)...

To get rid of ants use powdered "Borax 20 Mule Team" you can buy in the detergent section of your market.

I like to use a BIC lighter and army men.

More fun.

rwd

Talking about Borax,this stuff is mined in Boron Ca. in the Mohave Desert on the other side of Bakersfield off 58 on the way to Barstow.
I was told at the time under no circumstance to go up there because the people were crazy.
120F+ during the day,we stopped at this road side bar no bigger then a shack.
Ice cold Coors and some of the best chili I had in awhile.The shack was air conditioned to blizzard conditions and the prettiest girl I've ever seen tended bar.
We almost passed out when we left when that Mohave heat hit us like a sucker punch.

LOL

BTW...nope. He's got dark hair.

He has gotten to the point where nothing I do or say suprises him....that's why the stare.

WE have loads of stupid Lisa stories!!

LOL

I discovered how to peel a kiwi fruit without wasting so much like when you try to hold it in your hand. Cut it in slices with a sharp knife and then lay the slices on a plate. Use a table knife to cut the skin off the slices going in a circle around each slice.

OK--here's my favorite tip. My husband is a cook so all of his work clothes end up smelling like the deep fryer and the broiler and,eventually, so does anything you wash with them. If you soak greasy clothes in a 5 gallon bucket full of water with a cup of laundry detergent and a cup of Castrol Superclean Engine degreaser overnight, the grease comes out and the clothes smell normal again. This also works on engine grease, although motor oil stains ate a bit tougher to actually get out than vegetable oil.

Anyone know how to loosen up a slow mainline drain? My washing machine is backing up into the floor drain in the basement if I wash big loads of clothes.

"Anyone know how to loosen up a slow mainline drain?"

Three words: Plumber; Snake; Money.

I was afraid of that.

"I was afraid of that."

Hire a real plumber and pay list price.
That is the easiest way out.
Life is like that.

#102

That IS a good tip. Thanks.

The woman I care for has two washers in her basement...or cellar as she calls it.

One is an automatic, the other is an old fashioned wringer washer. I take the wash water from the automatic (if it's not too dirty) and drain it into the wringer. do the same with the rinse water. The thing works like a charm!

I save on laundry detergent and water.

And I love that old fashion stuff..

sigh....

Is Your drain hose in the drainpipe properly?? If You can get to the drainpipe for Your washing machine I would run a bottle of draino in it. It can't hurt. I suspect You have some lint clogging things up.

Larry

I could have easily been Joan Clever!!!

#107 | Posted by Lisa

Reminded me of the dirtiest line ever from the show..June says to her husband, "You were a little too rough on the Beaver last night, Ward!"

We've dumped probably 3 gallons of drain cleaner down it. The biggest problem, i think, is that the drain hose from the washer drains into a utility sink instead of directly into the drain, so it cuts the pressure enough that it won't blow the clog out on it's own. We had a plummer out last time and he told us that drain goes straight into the mainline, so I'm betting the clog is probably where they connect because all of my other drains are fine. My kitchen sink goes in right there too, but seems to be ok. it's just the washer and that damn utility sink that back up in the floor drain. It cost $200 bucks the last time he came out. Guess I'll call him Tuesday...

#113

Do you have a lint trap attatched to the drain hose on your washer to prevent future clogs after this one gets fixed?

I always just cut the foot part of an old pair of pantyhose and used a clamp to keep it on.

Good luck! I hope it's cheaper than $200 to fix for you.

LOL

That's an OOOOLD one American!!

The biggest problem, i think, is that the drain hose from the washer drains into a utility sink instead of directly into the drain

Crystal ball says your water trap is clogged.

Disconnect it and look.

Where would it be?

I have my little kids convinced he is really in there cleaning the screen. It keeps them from sneaking on the computer to play spongebob games the minute I get up!
