Binder Clips for Calendar Pages

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

Using binder clips to hold up pages of a thin calendar.I get my calendars at the dollar stores. The variety is great, and of course the price is key. But, the paper is thin. I find that when I hang it by the center hole, the edges flop over.

Garlic Furikake Popcorn

By attosa

bowl of Garlic Furikake PopcornThis is a great twist on regular popcorn. It's laced with browned garlic oil and furikake, which is a lovely dried seaweed and toasted sesame seed topping. Furikake is most widely used as a topping on white rice in Japan, but I think it's absolutely scrumptious on popcorn. It can come in many flavours, some spicy, some sweet, and some with flaked fish. I love them all! You can find furikake in the Asian aisles of most grocery stores and on several online shops.

Dear Webby's Joke of the Day
Apparently, I tend to brag too much about my home state of Ohio. One day I told a long-suffering friend, "You know, the first man in powered flight was from Ohio. The first man to orbit the earth was from Ohio. And the first man on the moon was from Ohio."

"Sounds like a lot of people are trying to get out of Ohio," he observed.

Today's Questions
Finding a Dish Detergent That Suds
I buy staples in bulk. If I find a good bargain, I might buy a year's supply at a time. I've found that this practice can lead to some surprises. I am having trouble finding a dish detergent that will suds up, even a little. Any thoughts?
Light Sensing Exterior Fixture Only Works When Breaker Flipped
I have an outside light that's a dusk to dawn. The dusk to dawn sensor no longer worked and the light stayed on all the time. So, in the evening I would just flip the switch to turn it on. Now when I flip the switch it will not turn on. I changed the switch and that did not help. Next, with the switch on I flipped the breaker off then on, and the light came on.
Sewing Machine Not Stitching Jersey Fabric
My sewing machine is not catching the bobbin thread when I'm trying to sew stretch fabric. It works fine on regular cotton, but doesn't pick up the stitch when I put in the jersey fabric. I am using the right needle and the machine and bobbin are threaded and inserted correctly. It seems to be just a problem with the stretchy fabric.
Getting Hair Back to Natural Color After Highlighting
I have done olden brown highlighting in my hair. My original hair colour was black. I am not happy with my hair colour. How long do I have to wait to get my original colour back?
Removing a Set-in Coffee Stain from Upholstery
I have a recliner that has several set-in coffee stains. How can I remove them?
