It's Roadside Litter Cleaning Time
By littergitter
It's spring and people are getting in the cleaning mood. We want our houses and yards to look nice. But have you ever considered helping to keep our roads clean? I'm an old littergitter and I look at it as great exercise that produces quick results.
Repotting Plants Inside your House
By 15mhhm15
Do you come home from work late and it's too dark out, but you need to repot some plants?

Toilet paper can easily go to waste, especially if you're using multiple-ply styles, and have people in the house who love to just pull and pull at the roll. We have young ones in the family who love to use our homemade indicator, which shows them where to stop pulling. You can use a simple piece of tape, or get creative with a design.

A good friend's Keurig caught fire, causing major damage to her home. Fortunately, she was out of the house at the time. This is not an isolated incident with coffee makers, not just Keurigs. Be safe and unplug after each use. I am also unplugging my toaster oven.
