The actual "news" is already old, and there are plenty of online sources. I haven't gotten a Sunday paper is years, and am not likely to go back to it.The Biz of Lifehttp://thebizoflife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363346176357438290.post-24537338577025510452010-03-12T12:04:57.200-07:002010-03-12T12:04:57.200-07:00One thought we had on the dishwasher cooking: We ...One thought we had on the dishwasher cooking: We wonder how much water is used to cook a meal, and also how much extra power is used for the 'temperature-boost' feature, to get the dishwasher hotter? Just a thought. Interesting concept, though. I might see if I can find the book of dishwasher recipes at the library, just for the fun of it.Innahousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363346176357438290.post-28338633247592274222010-03-12T11:33:15.973-07:002010-03-12T11:33:15.973-07:00What will crazy old coots do without newspapers to...What will crazy old coots do without newspapers to hoard and stack all over their houses? Without newspapers, kids won't be able to make paper mache pinatas. What will we line our garage floors with when painting furniture?

I also work with the newspapers at work and gather the coupons there. <br /><br />But the few times they do bring us the paper, I've used it to clean our mirrors and windows. It's wonderful and streakless!Emhttp://unearthingem.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363346176357438290.post-18153940555192738172010-03-12T08:39:23.902-07:002010-03-12T08:39:23.902-07:00Once again, thanks for the great post!

I was getting enough coupons out of the paper to pay for it, but then I switched to a diet of more local and organic foods (costs went up...coupon opportunities from the paper went down). I do need newspapers for vermicomposting and lining Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515778267115773998noreply@blogger.com
