DIY Dog
Grooming
I own a small poodle that is now 14
years old, and I have
only had her professionally groomed
about six times in her
life. People have always admired the way
she is groomed, and I
learned to do it myself.
Grooming even a
small dog can be at
least $45 in our area.
I started by going to a
beauty supply warehouse and bought
the smallest “Peanut”
clipper on sale. It
was about $30. Then
I learned to trim the
feet and face. For a
scissors, I use about
a 6” shears. I bought
combs and poodle
type brushes
at a local pet supply
store.
I found many good
YouTube videos about
dog grooming. I also
found poodle
grooming books at the
library.
I have also found
using a dremel tool
frequently on dog toenails works great. I do
just a nail or two at
one time. It has saved
many vet or groomer costs for this one
thing. Our PetSmart
charges $10 just for a
toenail trim.
Anyone can do this,
and it does help to
have my therapy dog
clean and
well-groomed for visits. I have saved hundreds of dollars and
can now
afford a good cordless electric clipper.
I also attend dog
shows when possible
and watch groomers,
asking for tips when
they have free time.
Most of the time, they
are so proud of their
dogs and flattered to
be asked how they
make their dogs look
so good.
Egyptians used a form
of toothpaste over 5,000
years ago.
Human brains are 75 %
water, while bones are

We’re paying off our
debt and sometimes
it seems like it’ll take
forever! I’m not sure
I can keep this up for
years. I wanted to reward myself each time
the debt was reduced
by $1k. Since I love
good bread and jams,
each time I reach that
mark, I go to my favorite bakery and buy
a loaf of fancy bread
and some jam to go
with it. Normally I
wouldn’t spend the
money, but it’s not that
expensive and it helps
to keep me motivated.
Now I just need to find
something to keep my
husband motivated!

Rice is cheap and
should be on everyone’s grocery list. To
keep my family from
getting bored with
the same plain rice,
I spice it up. Sometimes I’ll add some
leftover soup after I’ve
cooked the rice. Other times I’ll cook the
rice using water that
I boiled vegetables in
the night before. Other times I’ll add some
of the leftover veggies
to the rice or just some
garlic. There’s no end
to the possible combinations. And leftovers
that would probably
get thrown out anyway will be used up!

Every time I turn

Are You Killing Your
Hairdryer?
After replacing several hair dryers that
just stopped working, I realized that by
cleaning the screen on
the back of the dryer with an old toothbrush, it helped the
air flow, which kept
the dryer from burning out. Now I’ve had
the same hair dryer for
years, and it’s still going strong.

Tips On Finding The
Right HVAC Contractor
(NAPSA)-A heating
and cooling system
is one of the most expensive investments a
homeowner can make.
It makes sense, then,
to carefully select a
contractor who will
help you find the right
system for your home,
install it, and provide
the technical assistance needed to keep
it running efficiently.
To help with that
selection process, here
are some tips from
the experts at the
Coleman(r) Heating
and Air Conditioning
brand of Johnson Controls:
1. Learn as much
as you can about
heating,
ventilating
and air-conditioning
(HVAC) systems. The
more you know, the
better prepared you
will be to conduct interviews with potential contractors.
2.
Ask
family,
friends, co-workers,
real estate agents and
home improvement
specialists for recommendations.
3. Visit the Better Business Bureau
website to check the
consumer ratings of
a contractor. This site
also shows the volume
of complaints lodged
against a contractor.
4. Check for membership in professional organizations. Find
out if the contractor
and the technicians
in his/her company
are certified by North
American Technician
Excellence (NATE).
5. Ask to see state
and local licenses and
certifications for refrigerant handling.
6. Verify that the
contractor is proper-

proof of liability and
workers’ compensation insurance for the
contractor, as well as
any technicians and
subcontractors
the
contractor employs.
7. Ask if the contractor performs the work
or has a subcontractor
do it.
8. Consider the
contractor’s length of
service. Does he/she
have an established
track record? Ask for
a list of references
that you can contact.
Check these references, ask about performance and whether

Tips On Being Green
At Home And Away
(NAPSI)—Today,
finding ways to be
more energy efficient
and eco friendly isn't
just good for the environment—it can be
good for your home,
your family and your
bottom line. Here are
hints on how:
• Reduce, reuse,
recycle: Take a look
around—a
simple
mental checklist of
reusable,
recyclable
items can make a
world of difference
with no more effort
than a weekly dropoff. For example, take
old books and donate
them to a school or library. If you buy eggs
in cartons, drop the
empties off at an elementary school or after-school center to be
used for art projects.

your home or even

just planning a few
small home improvement projects, remember that just about
everything, from old
flooring to doorknobs
and light fixtures, can
be repurposed by a
charity if not by you.
• Eat and drink
your way to a healthier planet: How (and
what) you eat can
make a big impact on
the environment and
the community. Farmers' markets are often
bursting with fresh
produce. Supporting
one helps preserve the
vitality of community
agriculture.
Buying
local means produce is
fresher—it hasn't been
shipped from hundreds of miles away.
To keep those fruits
and veggies fresher
longer, you can get

a refrigerator with
humidity-controlled
crispers. Using your
refrigerator's
water
dispense system and a
reusable bottle instead
of bottled water can
keep up to 300 plastic bottles a year from
ending up in landfills.
• Let the housework
do the saving for you:
New home appliances
are far more efficient
than older models.
New washers such as
the Energy Star-certi-
fied Amana 3.6-cu.-ft.,
high-efficiency washer use 75 percent less
water and 82 percent
less energy than those
manufactured just a
decade ago. If you've
been considering a
new washer or dryer, the good news is it
could save you money
on your utility bills.
• Learn more: You
can find additional
facts on efficient appliances at www.amana.

Important News For
Seniors With Diabetes
(NAPSA)-Recently, the approximately
10.9 million American
seniors on Medicare1
who live with diabetes
were alerted to new
changes that could
impact access to their
blood glucose testing
supplies.
Many people with diabetes use these supplies-including blood
glucose meters and
testing strips-to monitor their blood glucose
(also known as “blood
sugar”). Learning to
use and maintain a
blood glucose meter
usually requires practice, and, over time,
patients often become
very comfortable with
a particular meter.
This is important, because consistent blood
glucose monitoring is
critical to help people
with diabetes track
blood glucose levels,
identify the best approach to control their
diabetes, and avoid
the potentially serious
complications of the
disease.2
Medicare Changes
The Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
recently instituted a
new program that reduces Medicare reimbursement for certain
diabetes testing supplies, including blood
glucose test strips, for
people with diabetes.3
These changes could

limit seniors’ access
to their preferred diabetes testing supplies-those
they’re
comfortable using and
that their doctors recommend. CMS may
suggest that patients
switch to unfamiliar
products, causing confusion or frustration.
Or worse, according to
a survey by the American Association of
Diabetes Educators,4

About a year ago,
we had a problem with
a gas spill in our car.
My husband thought
his dad put the cap on
the gas can and was
driving around when
it spilled. After many
useless remedies, we
finally resorted to putting clay kitty litter
over the area of the gas
spill. After a day, we
vacuumed it and covered it with the litter
again. I think we did
this two or three times
with great results.
There was no more gas
odor. Be careful not to
allow any moisture
near the cat litter or it
could turn into “mud”
on your carpet, and
be sure to clean with
a vacuum with very
strong suction to get
all the litter out.

When The
Rubber
Hits The
Road - Or
Ice - This
Winter,
Will You
Be Ready?
(NAPSI)—In
winter, it’s not just about
the precipitation on
the road. Tires get
cold, too, and when
they’re cold, all-season
tires don’t perform to
their full potential. In
fact, in temperatures
as cool as 45 degrees
or below, the rubber in
all-season tires gradually hardens, leading to decreased road
traction and less grip,
causing difficulty with
braking and turning.
Winter tire safety experts at Discount Tire
urge drivers to consider their cold weather
climate; if it is regularly below 45 degrees,
it’s time for a set of
winter tires to keep
you and your family
safe on the roads this
year.
“Too often, motorists associate winter
tires with only snow
and ice,” said Mark
Marrufo of Discount
Tire. “At Discount
Tire, we take winter
tire safety seriously
and know it’s important for drivers to realize that all-season
tires can suffer performance issues on any
driving surface when
temperatures drop below 45 degrees, snow
or no snow.”
Winter tires use
specially engineered
tread rubber with enhanced
compound
to add the extra grip
needed in winter driving conditions that
helps keep a car safely in motion without
skidding off the road.
This added grip provides 25 to 50 percent
more traction in snow
and ice than regular
all-season tires. Tread
design in winter tires
also uses thousands
of extra traction edges
for exceptional grip in
cold weather driving
conditions where ice,
snow, slush and water may be present.
What drivers may not
realize is precipitation
can actually pack in
the larger grooves on
all-season tires, leading to dangerous skidding and impaired
braking.
Five tire and road
safety tips for winter
this year:
1. Replace your
all-season tires with
superior cold traction
winter tires if you regularly drive in temperatures of 45 degrees
or below. Make sure to
replace all four tires to
avoid an unsafe traction mismatch.

wheels when switching to winter tires.
Having a set of wheels
specifically for your
set of winter tires will
save money in the
long run. They pay
for themselves by
eliminating the cost of
changeovers at the be-
ginning and end of the
winter season, and by
saving your expensive
wheels from the wear
and tear of ice, slush,
snow and salt.
