I'm trying.

I've tried making my own seltzer - and it just isn't happening. So which is the least bad environmental choice, drinking it from 1 L bottles or aluminum cans?

Nuts! I've got a squirrel!

A squirrel has built a nest on my fire escape. What's up with all that? If I just leave it there, will it go away come springtime? Or will I be facing a summer of squirrels trying to get into my window?

Plum Plum Fizz Fizz

Anyone got a recipe for a dry seltzer, like these? Something that doesn't involve a syrupy or juicy base? Corollary question: Is it possible to make a potable seltzer using a tablet, rather than cartridge, technique? I'm thinking Alka-seltzer, without the Alka.

The princess and the p-o'ed!

WTF is up with these stupid ass pillowtop mattresses?! How can I get over the fact I'm stuck with one now that I have it?!

Who wrote that poem?

It's just so ear-rational!

Why do babies pull their ears when they are tired?

sometimes you feel like a nut

How can I make boiled peanuts using my rice cooker? And other unusual things not indicated in the operators' manual?

Looking for that blank canvas feel

How to recycle old paint canvases? I'd like to do some sort of photo transfer onto them, but how?

Organic Shmanic

I'm introducing my baby to solid foods (making most myself). Where will I get the most "bang for my buck" in terms of organic produce?

Go North, Young Woman

I want to buy 20 acres in Canada so that I have a refuge and a windfall when the coming global apocolypse comes down, I'm ready. Where can I buy now that would be the best investment, esp. for not much money?

Udderly Ridiculous!

Is it possible to over-breastfeed a baby? She's 6 weeks old and nurses, oh, like 10-12 hours a day at least. I think she's at the breast more than she's asleep.

Avoiding Disaster Plaster?

I'd like to do a body cast, but I don't want to "break" the bank. Is there really a difference between regular old plaster of paris and cheesecloth and medical plaster strips?

Squeezing out.... some answers!

Now that I'm managing my pregnancy-induced-hypertension with Labetalol why are both my OBs so gung-ho about preparing me for an early induced-labor?

My cat has had a little bald patch on his belly...

My cat has had a little bald patch on his belly all his life. Gradually, over the last two years, he has started chewing at it with increasing vigor; now the bald patch extends over most of his belly, and occasionally he breaks his own skin. The vet has ruled out mites, fleas, and disease, and concluded that my cat is anxious or depressed and needs medication to control his behavior. Googling confirms that this is not as weird it seemed to me, but it seems pretty drastic. Any thoughts, or ideas for alternative treatments?
