Lisa Zahn I wish I had enough hair to DO a topknot...we'll see if I can get there, and how I manage when I can try. I'm SO not good at hairdos.

I know . . . like I need another Homemade Ketchup Recipe . . . I still haven't tried the first two I pinned

Put down newspaper instead of that AWFUL black fabric stuff. The newspaper prevents weed seeds from germinating and kills any already there, but unlike fabric, it will decompose after about 18 months. It’s green, it’s cheap, and when you decide to redesign the bed later on, you will not have the headache you would with fabric.

Lisa Zahn and yes, my son was injured by the DPT vaccine in 1997 and now has mild autism. His doctors at the time admitted that the pertussis vax was likely the cause, and that was why the vax was being changed to the DPaT. It is not cut and dried.

Kathleen Quiring Thanks, Lisa! My daughter IS actually vaccinated against pertussis, but I still have doubts and questions . . . I appreciate any and all information from both sides.

Profile picture of Lisa Zahn

Lisa Zahn You are welcome. After my son's reaction at two months, we stopped vaccinating but did then vaccinate both kids to enter kindergarten at age 5. Now that they are teens, we work with our understanding doctor to pick and choose which shots to get.

You can store onions for the winter (up to 8 months) in pantyhose! Tie a knot between onions and you can then clip the knot as you need an onion. Brilliant!

raw brownie recipe

From original pinner: "Unbelievable bread made from only four ingredients and almost no work. You dump in the first three ingredients, add water, mix a bit, let sit overnight, then the next morning, you pretty much toss it in an oven-safe pot and bake. Voila." (I just need one of those fancy pots)

How to do beachy waves in less than 5 minutes: 1. Divide your hair into two parts. 2. Twist each section and tie with a hair tie. 3. Run your straighter/flat iron over both of the twist a few times. 4. Untie twists, and you're done.

Mandee Pantier Where I live it's rainy 3/4 of the year so going barefoot results in a whole lot of mud. I wear vibram five fingers. It's the closest to barefoot I've found from a shoe, but they are unbelievably expensive.

Patchwork without the patchwork. It doesn't get any simpler than this!
