Mildew frequently pops up on your shower curtain and without the use of chemicals it can be difficult to remove. So why not prevent it from growing in the first place.<br />

Once I figure out where they are getting in there is a great all natural trick to keep them out.<br />
<br />
CLOVES<br />

<br />
Simply stick whole cloves in crevices and cracks where they are coming in and it will keep them away (from that area anyhow). The cloves will last for months, just replace them next spring and make sure they are not accessible to infants or pets.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06686941425049334325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541777480921310896.post-76930874599919428772015-11-20T06:39:00.000-08:002015-11-20T06:39:00.391-08:00Natural Fly RepellentDuring the Spring and Fall I love to leave the doors and windows open. Unfortunately the flies love it too and come evening I find a plethora of them circling my house.<br /><br />One way to keep them out of the house is to use a repellent, but if you like me you try to minimize your use of chemicals.<br />

One problem with hardwood floors is that they scratch and the scratches have a tendency to get deeper over time. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8v__HjwMuaI/Vjy3dJAhO5I/AAAAAAAAAQU/qYng6bMw_2g/s1600/wood%2Bfloor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8v__HjwMuaI/Vjy3dJAhO5I/AAAAAAAAAQU/qYng6bMw_2g/s320/wood%2Bfloor.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />I don't have a hardwood floor anymore, but I used to. I do however, still have hardwood bannisters and they have the issue...scratches.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A nice simple fix is to find a crayon in a similar color. Or you can buy one of those special wax crayons that are for this purpose...but I find a regular kids crayon works just as well.<br /><br />Soften the crayon in the microwave and use the softened crayon wax to fill the scratch. Then using a butter knife or credit card, smooth it out to level with the rest of the floor (or bannister) surface<br /><br />You might have to soften the crayon a few times to fill your scratch, but when you are done, you have filled the scratch and leveled it out.<br /><br />If you are having trouble filling the scratch then grab a hairdryer and use it to soften the crayon as your squish it into the scratch.<br />
<br />
Once you're done, simply it buff the area...and you should be good for a while.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06686941425049334325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541777480921310896.post-24078785456138802982015-10-31T15:07:00.000-07:002015-10-31T15:07:00.061-07:00Do you have a continually loose screw? I'm not talking about the one in your head, I am talking about one in a cupboard or drawer that you seem to always be tightening?<br />
<br />
If so, then you probably have a simple fix in your bathroom cupboard. A bottle of nail polish.<br />

<br />Remove the screw and then dab the inside of the hole with some nail polish, let it set for a moment so it is soft, but not runny and re-insert the screw.<br />

<br />The half dried nail polish should make the screw set in tighter, and then when it is set it should keep the screw from loosening again.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06686941425049334325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541777480921310896.post-3655641205363657492015-10-24T14:35:00.000-07:002015-10-24T14:35:00.592-07:00A Cheap and Nutritious Way to Shine Your Silver<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Did you know that banana peels are great for polishing your silver? Believe it or not they are.<br />
<br />
So next time you have a banana, don't toss the peel.<br /><br />Cut off both hard ends and toss them out, then stick the peels in the blender. Puree it and then using a soft cloth rub your silver with it. Rinse the mush off and then buff your silver to a shine.<br />
<br />
For spots of tarnish you can just use the inside of the peel.<br />

One method that I use to remove white rings that were left from condensation is:<br /><br />Mix a half teaspoon of plain white toothpaste with a half teaspoon of baking soda. Massage the mix into the stain, let sit a few minutes and wipe it away. Then buff the spot. If it seems a little dull apply polish or use the <a href="http://show-me-the-way-to.blogspot.com/2013/03/money-saving-tip-7.html">homemade polish</a> I showed earlier.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06686941425049334325noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541777480921310896.post-78843535299988329422015-09-10T20:10:00.000-07:002015-09-10T20:10:19.175-07:00Get 30 days of Free Video, Music and E-BooksAmazon Prime has a great deal that allows you to sign up for a free 30 day trial.

You only save about 2.5% on the major retailers, but that's still less than what you would have originally paid.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://refer.cardpool.com/v2/share/5937553450023296489"><img border="0" src="http://www.cardpool.com/scaled_images/common/146x48/logo_146x48.png?1382401401" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
You can get digital or regular gift cards so you can use them two ways. You can use them as gifts (and noone needs to know you got them at a discount) or you can use them as cash yourself. When you have a purchase planned go to <a href="http://refer.cardpool.com/v2/share/5937553450023296489">Cardpool</a> and buy yourself a gift card.<br />
<br />
You've already saved money on your intended purchase.<br />
<br />
My next post will show you how to combine some of these sites to increase your discount and maybe even make a little bit of a profit.<br />

I admit that you won't earn a living off of this, but you can a few dollars. I spend maybe two minutes a week on it. They send me an email that I click on, then when it takes me to their site I do a handful of searches. I only make a few cents a week, but an extra $30 in my pocket every year or two is still nice to have.<br />
<br />
I am only up to $6.92 which means I have earned less than a $1 since April, but like I said, I'm not planning to get rich from this. I just want a little bit of extra cash.<br />
<br />
If you click on one of these banners you get a $5 head start.<br />

<br />
I want to introduce you to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NelvesByJoni?filter=1">Nelves, The Nature Loving Elves</a> by my friend Joni. She started making these a short while ago as a way to try and get an income and they have taken off.<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/NelvesByJoni?ref=ts&fref=ts">Nelves</a> Nature <span class="zem_slink">Loving</span> Elves! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NelvesByJoni?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Nelves</a> help <span class="zem_slink">Mother Nature</span> look her best! Hand made and no two are exactly the same.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/NelvesByJoni?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Nelves</a> are fun<br />
They laugh, they play<br />
They take care of nature in a really great way!<br />
They talk to the <span class="zem_slink">trees</span>, the bears and the bees.<br />
They make flowers grow and help rivers flow<br />
They take care of the fish and the birds<br />
The ocean and the forest<br />
The mountains and deserts<br />
The parks and fields</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They live in the tree in the middle of a field<br />
In the coral in the ocean<br />
In the park and the city<br />
They can’t be seen but they are there<br />
Helping nature happily</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don’t think they are rude<br />
They don’t mean to intrude<br />
But they can’t help but stop in your garden<br />
To give an encouraging word to the things that you grow<br />
Just wanted you to know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are here now to ask for your help<br />
You can help in so many ways<br />
Little things really, but they pile up in a hurry.<br />
Pick up the garbage, the can and the wrapper.<br />
Throw out that garbage! Recycle that box!<br />
Reduce, reuse and recycle all that you can!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One last thing they ask and it’s not hard at all<br />
Plant a seed, <span class="zem_slink">plant a garden</span> of veggies or flowers<br />
Plant a tree for the future<br />
Help them grow<br />
The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/NelvesByJoni?ref=ts&fref=ts" target="_blank">Nelves</a> say thank you!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://writer.zerys.com/Images/logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://writer.zerys.com/Images/logo.gif" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If you want to write and make some money fairly quickly then I suggest you head over to <a href="http://zerys.com/">zerys.com</a>. You make a fortune, but, if you can write, then you can pull in some money. Don't expect to start writing instantly. You need to fill out their application and submit a writing sample.<br />
<br />
An editor at zerys will review your sample and give you a rating. This rating gives you your initial standing at zerys. Once you've been approved you log in, fill out your profile and start looking at jobs available on the board.<br />
<br />
If your initial rating is low then you will probably start out with articles that only pay .7 to 1.4 cents per word, but it's a start, and once you up your rating you can choose higher paying jobs. Your rating increases with your quality and is judged by the clients.<br />
<br />
This is a good place to get a feel for what people want written and a great place to return to when your budget is running a little short at the end of the month.<br />

There are a few sites that I participate it, I won't say that they pay great but I do get the occasional free product, or $5 cheque from them.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://npdor.com/joinnow.asp?recruit=43382194RF&l=9">NPD Online Research</a> is a site I have used for a while.You get entered in their monthly drawing for $1000 with every completed survey, plus you earn points you can enter into drawings for various prizes. Occasionally they have specialized surveys that pay you cash or send you products to test. I just finished a week long survey on food for points, sweepstakes entries and a $25 gift card.<br />
<br />
Yes, that is my referral link, but it doesn't really get me anything except an entry in a quarterly drawing. Their referral program is not much to write home about.<br />

It also means that you know how to use spell check and maybe even how to do some research to verify facts. It that is the case then one way for you to make money is by writing.<br />
<br />
Start off with a basic blog so you can build your skills and your portfolio then apply to a few writing sites like <a href="http://helium.com/">Helium.com</a> and <a href="http://zerys.com/">zerys.com</a>. These places let you write for money, frequently they are small 'fluff' type articles, but they still provide cash and cash is good. I've been writing for a few years now and have advanced beyond those sites, but I still occasionally return to them when I need to supplement my income.<br />
<br />
Once you get into it you can stick your name on the articles and you not only get paid for writing the articles, but you also get paid for traffic generated to the articles.<br />
<br />
Check out a few of my earlier articles and I will admit that they aren't spectacular, but they are decent and had earned me some money;<br />

Last week I told you about using plastic bags as a <a href="http://show-me-the-way-to.blogspot.com/2013/06/re-use-old-grocery-bags-2.html">landscaping cloth. </a><br />
<br />
There is a better alternative that will save you money and in the end is better for the environment and your garden.<br />
<br />
It's commonly referred to as the lasagna method. Cover the ground with carboard, preferably the single layer stuff like a cereal box then cover the cardboard with 2 or 3 inches coarse organic <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulch" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mulch">mulch</a>
such as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodchips" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Woodchips">wood chips</a> or bark. Layers of newspaper will also work. This will last about a year. To continue,
simply add another layer of cardboard and another 2" coarse mulch. The
<a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_matter" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Organic matter">organic materials</a> will gradually <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Decomposition">decompose</a> and enrich the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Soil">soil</a> while
feeding your plants. A good mulch will let water percolate down, slowly decompose to improve the soil, and prevent weeds from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sprouting">sprouting</a>.<br />
<br />
The point of mulch is to prevent light from reaching the soil --
light activates the weed growth. That's why you lay a
solid mass of paper or cardboardover the soil. Bark and wood chips are slow to
decompose, thus lasting for about a year. Shredded dry leaves will
usually decompose in 6 to 9 months.<br />
<br />
The occasional wind-blown
seed will take root on top of the mulch but young weeds are easy to pull up.<br />
<br />

I am not a fan of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landscaping" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Landscaping">landscaping</a> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Textile">cloth</a>, but does occasionally have some uses. We have very invasive deep root weeds that like to crop up everywhere, so I use it one some of my smaller vegetable beds.<br />
<br />
Landscaping cloth is black plastic that you put underneath <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulch" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Mulch">mulch</a> and garden beds to try and keep weeds from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprouting" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Sprouting">sprouting</a> up. It typically costs about $0.50 per square foot, which can add up if doing a large bed and if you are only doing a small bed you end up buying way more fabric than what you needed.<br />
<br />
I've been making some new raised vegetable beds and instead of putting down landscaping cloth I put down plastic bags. I found some large bags from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.target.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Target Corporation">Target</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.jcpenney.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="J. C. Penney">JC Penney</a> and I slit them open then I laid them down in the bottom of the beds and put the dirt over top of them. They will serve the same purpose by effectively acting as a barrier, they will also be a lot easier to pick up in five or ten years because roots won't weave their way into them like it does with the fabric. <br />
<br />
Next week I will tell you about a more environmentally friendly option<br />

<br />
I got their automated responses on signing up, but no further emails after that and I have checked my spam folders. The only one that actually responded to me was <a href="http://blogdistributor.com/">blogdistributor.com</a> which rejected me stating that my blog was not in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="English language">English</a> and I wasn't in a country that spoke English as a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_language" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="First language">primary language</a>. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Thank you for your interest in submitting your blog to Blog Distributor.
Unfortunately, we can only accept blogs that are from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Blog">bloggers</a> that

we do this is that we have found that there are subtleties in English,

Therefore, we cannot accept any of your blogs.

I guess this means that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Spanish language">Spanish</a> is now the official language of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20(United%20States)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="United States">USA</a>? <br />

<br />
I signed up on on March 10th, and told you about it on the <a href="http://show-me-the-way-to.blogspot.com/2013/03/make-money-swagbucks.html">18th</a>.
I then did a followup post on <a href="http://show-me-the-way-to.blogspot.com/2013/04/make-money-swagbuckscom.html">April 15th</a>, well I got confirmation on Saturday and spent my new $10 <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.9065,-84.4872&spn=1.0,1.0&q=33.9065,-84.4872%20(The%20Home%20Depot)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="The Home Depot">Home Depot</a> Gift Card on the Home Depot website. I am picking up my gardening stuff today.<br />
<br />
I also had enough points to cash in for another $10 gift card yesterday. So at this rate, I would estimate $10 every two weeks, with little effort. It looks like an easy $500 a year extra just by following along with this nice little program. Not a bad deal at all.<br />
<br />
This is added to my list of definite keeps. You can make money here, with very little effort.and
I'm going to keep using them. You can either work off of their website
or use a simple toolbar (Which I chose to do) The toolbar is easy to
remove.<br />
<br />
You earn earn by watching videos, websurfing and randomly finding codes or playing games.
So far it's looking good, I will try to post an update in a month or so.
In the meantime, click one of the links to sign up.<br />

<br />
This months blog is<br />
<h1 class="title" style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://growboxhill.blogspot.com/">On Growbox Hill</a></h1>
I'm not even sure when I started reading them, or where I picked them up from, but I was surprised when I found out that I actually knew the person writing it. It's someone that I have known for years. Not a good close friend, but one of the few I would name friend. There are not many people I call friend, a friend is one who you can trust with your life and that of your family, and I am not a trusting person.<br />
<br />
Their description on their blog:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Our trials and tribulations and hopefully glories of moving from the big city to the boonies, and becoming self sufficient.
We are currently trying a lot of old world methods and new tec to do this with. Here's some wisdoms we follow...
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
Waste not, want not.
Work smarter, not harder.
Thanks for stopping by Growbox Hill and seeing what we are up to! </blockquote>
<br />
I don't think they even put down half of what they go through, and I know right now they are going nuts preparing for a wedding. I wish them the best now and in the future.<br />
<br />
Be sure to check them out. <br />
