I am 6 months pregnant with my third child after having had a difficult time with toxemia and pregnancy-induced high blood pressure in the past. I have been trying to keep myself of a relatively tame diet, but after my last...

eyeswideshut I have done the stir fry, but the bean stuff sounds good and cheap. I have also found that cooking them from dry instead of using canned is a huge difference in salt. Canned anything is extra salted it seems. Great ideas..thanks :)

Can anyone tell me what I can give to my 18 month old beagle that will keep him from chewing EVERYTHING that isn't nailed down? We feed him twice a day, we give him low-fat doggie treats (he LOVES baby carrots), and he gets so...

eyeswideshut Beagles are very smart but have a short attention span. Boredom makes them chew. While there isn't much you can do about the anxiety, (they are an extremely social breed)I have a few ideas that has helped mine a bit: First, a kennel. If you kennel them while...

My mother in law used to save breasd wrappers, gut them into strips and sew them end to end. She would crochet coasters and "rag" rugs out of them. I also saw a woman featured on TV who was recycling store bags by cutting them...

eyeswideshut That is an amazing idea. I am going to keep my bags and try that. We still live in an area that we can burn our trash, but soon that will be over. Have you seen Al Gore's movie The Inconvienient Truth? It's on Pay-per-view now and is rentable. It is very...

I just got a welder for Valentines day. I know, most people think I'm crazy, but its the best gift I've ever gotten! I love it and want some ideas on what would be neat to make with it. Any ideas? This is my very first project...

eyeswideshut Thank you! The mirror is a good idea. I had bought some etching acid the other day and was thinking of trying some glass etching, then I got the welder and in brainstorming had thought about a pretty frame. It's going to take some planning to figure out how...

eyeswideshut Yeah! I was totally not trying to whine and complain, which is what I get from most people when I bring up this subject. I'm trying to make people aware that it's just as demeaning to a fat person to be picked on as it is for a purple person to be picked on...

eyeswideshut I agree...and on a lighter note, I had to giggle because you used the words spandex and naughty in the same sentence and it wasn't pornographic. Yes..I know...dumb. I laugh when I hear the word fart too...cant be mature all the time.

eyeswideshut Don't be a hermit. Life is too short. There are some people I meet online I would love to hang out with. It's a shame everyone cool can't live in Wisconsin :) Find yourself a walking partner. I love to walk and chat.
