I have been feeding about four Baltimore Orioles since spring and now my feeder has sat untouched for days. I was re-filling it every other day as they were literally waiting in line to feed, now it looks like they've moved on. I'm kind of disappointed as they really brightened up my backyard. Is this typical?

I have a 4 year old granddaughter that seems as sweet as pie, until she get angry.She hits, bites, and just yesterday, scratched and pinched me in the arms. When she is in a bad mood - watch out. One minute she is cute and the next minute - terrible. When I babysit for her alone she is wonderful.The minute her parents walk in, she starts acting up.

We live in an apartment, and during our intense winter the ceiling in our storage room developed a horrible leak. Mold developed only in the ceiling, not on any objects in the room (we had to dodge buckets all winter long when we went looking for anything). So everything in the room has an odor. YUK. We kept extra school supplies in storage, so I don't know if we can get the smell out of books and papers, but what I am SO SAD about is all my craft stuff was stored in that room.

Our little chihuahua contacted Parvo in a pet clothes shop. The dear Lord spared him, but now he has a lot of trouble with nausea and vomiting. Is there some way to treat this? He is not dehydrating, and seems healthy other than his wimpy stomach. I'm looking for suggestions.

These enchiladas have less than 5 ingredients. Heat red sauce in a skillet until medium warm. Grate cheese. Dip tortillas in red sauce, put cheese in middle and roll up like enchilada. Please enchilada in baking dish.

For window cleaning, use your regular window cleaner. To dry the windows, try wadded up newspaper. It is absorbent and leaves no streaks. But wear rubber gloves because the ink will blacken your hands.

I used to love fruit salad, but it's kind of soft. My mom used to put a drained can of mixed fruit cocktail and a partially drained can of both mandarin oranges and pineapple chunks in a bowel. Then, came the chunked apples and bananas, and any other fruit you like to add "more of" then what is in the cocktail.

My fiance and I are trying to plan a green, no/low-waste wedding in Sept. 2009. We are financing the wedding ourselves, and already have family and friends doing our catering, sound and other services. We're getting vases and other items from second hand stores, growing our own flowers and doing all of our invitations, etc. online.

For an interesting grainy texture, substitute 1/4 - 1/2 cup of rice flour for the wheat flour in a biscuit, scone, or cookie recipe. It is also delicious. People will wonder how you did this!

While sewing, I jammed some fine fabric in the bobbin trace. Instead of taking it apart, as I should have done, I gently pulled and pulled until it came out. However, now the bobbin thread will not be picked up by the needle and brought to the surface. Any ideas on how I can resolve this problem without taking my sewing machine to a repairman? Please help!

Cut off peel of cucumber and slice it. Bread in flour. I cut mine both ways, whatever you prefer. Heat oil, should be medium high. Fry one side, salt and pepper then turn and fry other side. Cook until nice and brown, not burned.
