Using Bird Feeders for Houseplants

By Donna

Using Bird Feeders for Houseplants I picked up two inexpensive wooden bird feeders that were actually a little broken in a local department store for $1 each. I decided to use them inside my house to hold some hanging plants. I bring in a number of herbs for the winter and so window and plant space becomes an issue for me in the winter.

Pop Your Plastic Lid

By Deborah S.

A plastic container with a rubber band sticking out, to help with opening.I have a hard time getting the lids off my Tupperware! Dollar store containers are a good buy but nearly impossible to pop the lid on. I save the rubber bands that come around broccoli and other vegetables for further use. Cut the rubber band and put it under the lid and snap the lid shut. When you want to open the container, pull the rubber band to the top and use both hands to pry the lid open.

Buy and Freeze Extra Turkey
As cheap as turkeys are now (47 cents lb), buy 2. Cook and serve one and have the butcher cut one on his saw to freeze for later in the year. Ask him to wrap halves separately. Frozen turkey is good for about a year. Of course, you do need freezer space.

This Week's Question
Toning Down Blonde Highlights
I went and got a partial highlight yesterday on my medium brown hair, which I dyed two months ago in a salon. Well, I hate the highlights, my hair looks way too blonde! I don't want my hair to get damaged, but I really don't like these highlights.
