dress up your pet!
Some pets like to get dressed up. Others, want
nothing to do with it. This day is an opportunity
to really dress up your pet(s). Make something
for them to wear. Or, go to a pet store and
buy an outfit. It's winter,
nothing to do with it. This day is an opportunity

so something warm is best BUT cutesie will do.
Sorry, no ideas on how to dress up goldfish.
When resources are plentiful,
army ants capture members of
smaller ant species and keep them as pets.

SANITIZE TOOTHBRUSH WITH
LISTERINE
I keep a small spray bottle of Listerine
(the gold-colored) in the bathroom.
After I have finished rinsing my toothbrush,
I give it a few sprays with the Listerine
to kill any germs remaining on the toothbrush.

GREAT APRON SUBSTITUTE
I have purchased used uniform tops,
(the kind they wear in hospitals.)
with short and long sleeves,
to wear over my clothes while I
am cooking.
I prefer the snap or button front
rather then a pullover type.
Make sure they are a size larger
to fit over your regular clothes.
I found the best places to find the
tops is at your Good Will or Salvation
Army stores.

USE PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS
FOR HAIR DYING DAY
I tie a plastic bag around my hair instead
of using a shower cap when I dye my hair.
Since bags are free, I don't buy shower
caps anymore to let my hair set for 20
minutes when the dye is setting. Also
using the plastic grocery bags comes
in handy when you are on a trip and
forgot the shower cap.

Just put all your hair on the top of your
head, put the bag over it and tie it tight
in the bag like we used to tie a scarf
over our rollers in the old days. Be
creative and use different colors if
there is more than one person in the
home who will be using them.

When done, just pull off, tie shut with
all the dye bottles, gloves, and box
inside and throw away. No more mess
and no more bills for caps.

GROWING WHEAT GRASS
FOR YOUR PETS
For those of you that have pets that
like to graze on grass, buying it is
expensive. You can go to the
health food store and get a pound
of wheat berries for about 50 cents
and plant your own.

I like to use organic potting soil with
no fertilizers. I keep small pots on
hand, the more sparse you put
seeds in the better. Lightly cover
the seeds with soil, take a mister
and dampen. Put in a dark warm
area for 3 days, I put mine in the
oven and keep it misted
(I put a note on the oven to
remind me it's in there!)

After 3 days, place in a sunny
location and watch it grow a bit
everyday. It is so easy and so
cheap, and always fresh on hand!
And the bag of berry seeds
produces many plantings and
will last a long time. I keep it
refrigerated until needed to
plant more.

Culturally, the Choctaws have always
honored their women as the head of
every family household. They were,
and still are today, considered
the care-takers of our children, our
elders, and the home. Descendency is
counted through the female line.

Have you ever seen a baby porcupine?
Fable of the porcupine
It was the coldest winter ever.
Many animals died because of
the cold. The porcupines,
realizing the situation, decided
to group together to keep warm.
This way they covered and
protected themselves; but the
quills of each one wounded
their closest companions.

Many animals died because of

realizing the situation, decided
to group together to keep warm.
This way they covered and
protected themselves; but the
quills of each one wounded
their closest companions.
After awhile, they decided to
distance themselves one from
the other and they began to die,
alone and frozen. So they had
to make a choice: either accept
the quills of their companions
or disappear from the Earth.
Wisely, they decided to go back
to being together. They learned
to live with the little wounds
caused by the close relationship
with their companions in order to
receive the heat that came
from the others.
This way they were able to survive.

The best relationship is not the one
that brings together perfect people,
but when each individual learns to
live with the imperfections of others
and can admire the other person's good qualities
