BBQ Beans
The best beans are the ones my grandmother makes. She takes four cans of campbell's pork and beans, mixes in a little bit of brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, mayo and some dried onions. She puts a few slices of raw bacon on the top and then bakes them slowly at a low heat for an hour or two. Delicious! Hi Saturday, May 26, 2007 | By Tanya39 He is a puppy that needs positive praise and active redirection to learn. You have to have the time to train him. It requires watching for the signs he is going to pee and poop. Kennel with the pads is another way to do it. I had a dog and pup this is the way I did it. You may want to take him with in the kennel where ever you go. It maybe he is scared when you are away. Well good luck with your pup. Hi Saturday, May 26, 2007 | By Tanya39 Go to the library they have books on cars and repair books as well, so you can do it yourself and not have to pay a garage at the dealership and serviceman fee too dont forget. The way I look at it even if you dont have the tools a friend of yours may help you out by lending you the tools to do the job or he may have the knowledge to do it too. NC garden Monday, May 21, 2007 | By jazzbird719 Hi there from Northeastern NC! I am 49 and feel your pain. We are redoing a yard with no money LOL and have shade and sunny spots. I read in a gardening book that before you plan a forever garden that you should watch the property for a year through all the seasons to see the sun patterns on the land and how elements like heavy rain and blowing winds affect the lay of the land. Pooling of water and low spots meant we planted plants that were water tolerant rather than landscaping out the low spots through drainage, or made spots easily accessible to irrigation or hose watering. I bought all my plants at clearance prices - Lowes hardware will clearance a plant if it has some damage, at least half off. We did this for several seasons. Most just need some TLC and a little time to perk up. Sometimes we find them at least 80% off. On bulbs and perennials I plant them knowing that NEXT year they will be beautiful. I only buy perennials that will reproduce by themselves and can be divided and the new babies planted to start another area. We also get the seasonal plants like the ones Walmart has for Easter etc when they are dying down - wait for the green to leave them, then plant them as bulbs for next year. I have an area of the yard that I use as a "nursery" using recycled pots and dirt that grows the babies until they are ready to be planted for good. They are easier to water and feed this way. You can get free trees from the Arbor Day foundation and free seeds online from numerous places for the cost of a SASE. I use paper egg cartons to start the seedlings and transplant. When the flowers mature I harvest the seeds for next year and dry and save them to go in another area. I let some of them fall to the ground to reseed themselves. Also some shrubs can be rooted in water and transplanted to make new shrubs. Hostas, forsythia, irises, lillies, daffodils, daylillies, divide easily. Hummingbird vine and wild violets and wild strawberries as well as morning glory and honeysuckle are wildflowers here and make beautiful landscaping plants. And they are free!! Remember to stick a bird feeder and a birdbath in your garden. Good Luck!! Cutie patootie Friday, May 18, 2007 | By Tanya39 Nice picture of your baby. He's or she is real cute.

How exciting! Doing the happy dance? :D Have fun house-hunting! Thursday, May 10, 2007 | By Persnickety Paula
The mortgage is only the beginning! Make sure you keep in mind the utilities, city water and sewage charges, taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Sorry, but I am one of those people that the constant flow of bills coming in can really stress me out!
