Starting Tomatoes in Coffee Cans

By Nicole B.

Starting Tomatoes in Coffee CansWhen starting tomato plants, I cut the bottom off of an empty Folger's coffee can. Then I poke some drain holes in the lid, put the lid on, and turn the can upside down. I fill the new pot with soil and plant my tomatoes. When they are ready to go into the garden I just take the lid off the bottom and the plant slides right out.

Making a Cupcake Liner Spider - finished spiders with legs and web drawn on for finishing touchesSpiders may be creepy, but here is one that will not do any harm. This spider craft is made with simple supplies - cupcake liners, goggly eyes, a Sharpie marker, dot paint, and glue. My daughter loves this craft so much (and any with spiders lately).

Ketchup to Remove Green Tones From Hair

By attosa

Blonde hair after using ketchup to remove green tones.You can indeed remove green tones from your hair by squirting ketchup onto your clean and dry strands. Leave it in for about 20 minutes then wash out. The tomatoes and vinegar in ketchup contain acids that even out the green colour in hair. If your hair is ultra green, do this process twice. It works!

Dear Webby's Joke of the Day
One day a mother took her 6-year-old son with her to visit a friend at work. Everyone there knew her, and she was offered a cup of coffee. That day, as one of the employees went to make more coffee, her son followed her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm making your mom's favorite drink," she answered.

Imagine the woman's shock when she heard her son say, "Wow! You know how to make beer?"
