We had rats for a while when we had chickens and I searched for a solution to get rid of them. I found a product called Roban which is a bait. While it is still dangerous for most animals, if the baits are used correctly then any animal eating a dead mouse or rat will not be affected by the...

Not every bakery slices bread, and particularly sourdough breads - they apparently blunt the blades much quicker. Our local baker won't slice sourdough and a not quite so local specialty bread shop doesn't slice any of their loaves. One chain bakery has stores that will only slice sourdough to...

They're lovely - if you're slim. Wishful thinking

I have had that happen, but not always. On our Jetstar flight the front half rows were asked to board from the front and the rest from the back - that worked just fine too

Depends on your airline I guess. Just came back from the Gold Coast with Jetstar and you definitely wouldn't get away with too many bags or too heavy bags. I didn't see anyone having a problem with overhead space

Or use the little doo dad from your bread bag - that works great too

I've been using lemon in my kettle for a long time now. All I do is add a good squeeze of juice to a full kettle then bring it to the boil. I leave the lid off and let it boil for a while, then drain and rinse - good as new. Even the bottled lemon juice works.

I also agree wholeheartedly with this idea. We recently adopted a new older cat. I'm not sure what happened to her previous owner, I think she was put into a nursing home. The cat rescue organisation wanted her to go to a family with no other animals - that is not us, but we must have been...

I do remember that, but sadly it's now gone

Diluted hydrogen peroxide also works well as a mouthwash for sore gums. Only takes a couple of times for the effect to be noticeable.

How dumb is that! I would have been lost without the rails when I've been in for hip surgery - not so much for keeping me in bed, but they made it much easier to get comfortable.

I have the ICE app on my phone, and even though I haven't needed it in an emergency, it has proved very useful. I've been in hospital a couple of times and every time they ask me what medications I'm taking, and I can just show them the list in the ICE app - much easier than trying to remember...

I'm one who prefers self checkout, because I like my groceries packed the way I want them. However, the K-Mart change to their checkouts in the middle of the store makes no sense at all to me. I have often seen something on the way out I might have liked, but I'm not going to line up again...

And I wonder if they know that there is a staple remover built in to most staplers as well?

The inserts are actually a separate item that goes inside a cushion cover. And cushions are what goes on the lounge or chairs or whatever - pillows are definitely only for sleeping on. I have notice quite a few people who call cushions pillows

To me, it depends on how often I'm likely to use whatever I'm purchasing. I can't see the point in paying top dollar on something I will only use occassionally.
