DID YOU KNOW…

DID YOU KNOW…
You’ve probably heard all about the amazing uses of distilled vinegar, using olive oil to condition leather and even that nifty trick of using a potato to loosen a broken light bulb. But today, we are going to talk about some of the not-so-known uses for everyday items like coffee filters, marshmallows and dryer sheets. COFFEE FILTERS – The little paper-like liners that make your morning cup of joe possible have many more uses than just getting your morning started. Because coffee filters are lint-free and absorb oil very well, there are many, many uses for these little guys. Did you know… You can use coffee filters to clean glass, CD’s/DVD’s, computer monitors and even your iPad. DRYER SHEETS – Speaking of dryer sheets, did you know… If you plan on storing your luggage for a long period of time, stashing a dryer sheet inside each piece can help prevent musty odors.Going camping this Spring? MARSHMALLOWS - Yes, it’s true. CLEAR NAIL POLISH – Handy for more than runs in your hose.

Button Statment Rings « It’s September and that means it’s time to add another statement piece to your collection…. obviously! I heart almost every piece Nicole Richie designs for House Of Harlow 1960, especially her oversized rings. As amazing as these rings are they’re also an easy DIY. Buttons, buttons everywhere!! Materials: Buttons, Clippers, Glue, Rings With Flat Tops (available at the jewelry supply store) Use your clippers to remove the shank from the back of the button. Once you’ve made the back of the button flat, use an ample amount of glue to secure the ring to the back of the button. Here’s another hint: If you can’t find a flat ring base, Ring Pops are a fun alternative. Once the base has dried, glue on the button. I now thing I have enough new statement rings to get me through the month.

Tutorial: How to install The Sims 2 on Windows 7 « Okay, so despite what some people say there is an issue with installing Sims 2 on Windows 7. For days I was stuck with it, looking on forums for answers which no one had, so I reverted back to just fiddling with everything until I got somewhere. I might not be right on this, but I think there is only an issue on 64bit systems as I’ve heard it installs fine on some machines. The issue appears to apply only to the original 4-disc base game on 64bit W7 machines :( So anyway, this is how I got over the compatibility issue… (If you would prefer to read this on the Exchange, please click HERE.) I’m very sorry to report that I no longer reply to comments on this tutorial and have not done so for a while. This tutorial still receives between 1000 – 2000 hits a week which is really great, I’m glad it helps, but I cannot keep up with the comments and questions. UPDATE JAN 2014: Sims 2 Patches can now be found here (thank you Kim!) The properties window should open. this. 4) Start PC in Safe Mode

Moi!'s Room) - WeeMee | Avatar | Decorate your Room | Express Yourself The Anti 9-to-5 Guide » Working moms Five dirty little secrets of working from home Last week my editor at ABCNews.com asked me to write a column outing what goes on behind the closed doors of freelancers, telecommuters, and kitchen-table entrepreneurs who work from home. I had a load of fun collecting the confessions of virtual employees and self-employed folks who work from their domicile (catnap, anyone?). As you’ll see below, I’ve got a handful of confessions of my own. Feel free to chime in with yours in the comments below. Last fall my significant other and I moved in together. So I did what any disheveled freelancer would do: I got an office job — one that required me to show up at approximately the same time each day, looking fresh and professional. Three months into the gig, I began to miss my bathrobe. Now that I’m back to full-time freelancing, I’m trying to prove to myself and my new husband that working from home doesn’t necessarily mean living a life devoid of structure. April 28th, 2011 Q. A.

The Accidental Freelancer's Survival Kit In January, Daily Beast editor-in-chief Tina Brown dubbed the current rotten job market the "Gig Economy," where both high earners and low earners increasingly find themselves cobbling together paychecks from a menagerie of freelance, contract and part-time work. Suddenly media outlets from CNN to Newsweek followed suit, telling the freshly unemployed what those of us who've been freelancing and consulting for years already know: if you have skills to hawk, you can make a decent living hopping from project to project. But merely welcoming this army of accidental freelancers to the self-employment club won't groom anyone for the challenges of running their own show. Looking for career advice? If you, too, have found yourself cast in the role of accidental freelancer -- presumably because you've had better luck finding project work than a staff job -- take heart. Your Bed Is Not an Office Instead, set up a desk that's yours and yours alone and isn't visible from your bed or couch.
