Use the Company Customer Service Number

By Judy

A preowned Keurig coffee maker in a kitchen.I saw a non-working Keurig on Freecycle. I knew about descaling it from an article written by Mary Hunt on the Debt Proof Living website, so I decided to take a chance. However, the descaling and cleaning did not work, so I called their toll-free number, and within 10 minutes the screen error the previous owner experienced was fixed and I have a great machine. I got the manual online and downloaded it.

Use Elastic Bands in the Freezer

By ShirleyE

A box of frozen food held closed with an elastic band.Open boxes of partly used frozen foods can be a bit of a nuisance in the freezer. They become a difficult shape for storage as one end becomes flattened. Also food can fall out. Taking just one minute to fetch an elastic band and wrap it around the box to keep everything properly in place will save time and frustration later

Today's Questions
My Daughter Missed Mass on Holy Thursday
As you know, this week is holy week. Does anyone know if my daughter should go to confession if she missed mass on Holy Thursday? I told her it would be longer than usual (as Holy Thursday masses are an hour longer) and she had refused to go. She claimed the reason was "I'm tired" which is not a good reason to miss mass.
Name Ideas for a Childcare Business
I need help with finding a name for my child care center. I would like for it to be very unique, not the basic names people use for their centers! I want something where parents become interested just from hearing the name alone!

Removing Ammonia in the Dishwasher
So my wife accidentally put ammonia instead of rinse aid in the dishwasher (the bottles look pretty similar) and I can't seem to get all of it out. Is it safe to eat off/drink from the dishes? I am fully aware to keep bleach away from it.
Repairing a Maytag Atlantis Washing Machine
My Maytag Atlantis machine started leaking water in front. There was a loud squeaking noise followed by smoking and the smell of burning rubber.

16th Birthday Party Ideas
It's been a while since I last posted a question, and a lot has changed. I've moved schools, and made amazing new friends. I'm turning 16 in exactly 29 days, and I have the basic idea of what my party will be, "friends" themed!
