Yes, the hacker came back! Apologies on his behalf for our back-up was back 6 months and have lost all your valuable posts - all the new groups on the community and all the articles for the past 6 months. We have had to take down the free classifieds and the recipe section as this was where they were getting access. It is very difficult to see what they gain. Such a shame. I do hope they can use and put the skills they have to do some good in the world. Blessings to all!

ecoman replied to the topic Re:Animal Hints in the forums.
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar is a remedy with multiple uses for dogs including alleviating allergies and arthritis, and helping to provide the correct pH balance. You can give apple cider vinegar to any animal by simply adding it to their drinking water.

If your dog has itchy skin, the beginnings of a hot spot, incessantly washes its feet, has smelly ears, or is picky about his food, an application of apple cider vinegar can help. For poor appetite, use it in the food at 1 tablespoon, two times a day for a 50 lb. dog. For itchy skin or the beginning hot spots, put apple cider vinegar into a spray bottle, part the hair and spray on.

If you have a dog that has clear, watery discharge from the eyes, a runny nose, or coughs with a liquid sound, use apple cider vinegar in his or her food. One teaspoon twice a day for a 50 lb. dog will do the job.

After grooming sessions, use a few drops in dogs' ears after cleaning them to avoid ear infections. Fleas, flies, ticks and bacteria, external parasites, ring worm, fungus, staphylococcus, streptococcus, pneumococcus, mange, etc. are unlikely to inhabit a dog whose system is acidic inside and out.

Should you ever experience any of these with your dog, bathe with a nice gentle herbal shampoo - one that you would use on your own hair - rinse thoroughly with vinegar, and then sponge on apple cider vinegar diluted with equal amounts of warm water. Allow your dog to drip dry. It is not necessary to use harsh chemicals for minor flea infestations. All fleas drown in soapy water and the apple cider vinegar rinse makes the skin too acidic for a re-infestation. If you are worried about picking up fleas when you take your dog away from home, keep some apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle, and spray your dog before you leave home and when you get back. For raw spots caused by excessive licking, use a few drops in water, and sponge the affected areas with apple cider vinegar.

Sprinkling white vinegar a top a dusting of baking soda is terrific for cleaning sinks, tubs, tile floors and other surfaces. For cleaning, it can be diluted with water as much as 50-50. For a garden herbicide, it should be used full strength.

ecoman created a new topic Stainless Steel Popsicle Mold in the forums.
A very rare find, Green Planet Parties is tickled to offer stainless steel popsicle molds. Similar to the stainless steel ice-cube tray, this product will last a life-time; made from high-end 18/8 stainless steel and is dishwasher friendly. Kids love freezing & eating healthier popsicle treats and parents will enjoy not having to worry about chemicals leaching from plastic. Each indiv. popsicle mold measures 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) long and holds 2.5 oz of liquid (1/3 cup or 90 ml). Pickup extra wooden popsicle sticks while shopping.

Re-use citrus rinds

Squeeze the juice out of 6 grapefruits / 12 lemons /limes Use the juice for drinking/cooking.

Place the leftover rinds into a glass jar. Pour white vinegar over top of the rinds until vinegar covers the rinds. Put a lid on it and let it sit for 2 weeks. Remove rinds, strain liquid through a sieve, and store in a glass jar. Use diluted 1:1 water to citrus vinegar in a spray bottle. Cleans kitchens, bathrooms, floors and more!

How about holding a Pioneer Day - designate one day per week - good family time as well. Here is how it works if you are not familiar with Unplug Days.

Disconnect (literally) from the TV, video games, etc and spend some quality time with the family as well as really reduce your energy consumption.
