Thank you, Admins!!!

An example of what I meant- a question perhaps someone might know the answer to:
Landlord went too far with pest control spray. Would anyone know a safe, effective way to remove it from dishes/pots&pans, etc.?
All I could find online was baking soda- didn't work. Web says bleach won't, either. I really don't want to throw away all these items, but don't know how to clean them so they'd be safe to use again.
 

What is the best way to control weeds in rocked areas or sidewalk cracks without using chemicals? I've used vinegar and salt, but it's a hassle, I usually end up pulling them by hand, lot of work.

I would probably soak them in water with lots of white vinegar and dish soap like Dawn. That should get off anything that's on the surface.
 
How can you get mold out from under clear silicone tub calking without removing and replacing? I would try a harsh cleaner like bleach or peroxide, but the tub is painted and the surround is a surface that bleach can't be used on.

A home-remedy I heard years ago: vodka. Spray it on the calking, let it sit 30 minutes, and wipe it off. If there's a lot of mold you might need to repeat the process.

Have you tried vinegar in a spray bottle?

Move your dinner back to your regular time and buy this (Amazon). This stuff is all natural and will knock out heartburn in a minute or less. It really,really works. I like vinegar,so don`t mind the taste.If you don`t like vinegar,it might be tough but it`s only a swig.

Is there a particular time of day that you use it? Intuitively, using it before right before bedtime seem like it might add to the problem.

I agree with Mrs. Robinson. Raw Apple Cider Vinegar was the only thing that killed my reflux. I now use it every day on a lettuce salad. Pills quit working and I was at my wits end until I tried it. Hope it works for you.

So your title says "practical" but your focus seems to be more in the spiritual area. Practical, to me, means real world. Spiritual is other worldly. Do they ever intersect? Possibly. But your spirituality and someone else's may be altogether different. I think you have an entirely different and personal agenda. But whatever. I don't trust you.

To whom are you speaking Carol? I'm confused.

My pets obviously appreciate my talking to them. They also enjoy watching tv. Believe it or not, animals do like the sound of human voices.

Every dog I have ever known was a superb conversationalist on a hike. You can tell them anything and they give you that look "No Sh_t, I did not know that. You must be a genius!"

That tends to boost a guy's ego up until he gets turned around, misses the right trail and the dog ends up leading you home while you walk behind regretting your own nonsense.

A couple of people on page 3 said you were addressing this to me? If so, hopefully there are questions (mine & other people's) on p. 3 that will clarify what I meant.
I don't know why you think MY focus is 'in the spiritual area,' as that's a topic I have no interest in. Nor do I have any 'agendas.' Geez.
MY question was: is there a safe, effective way to get pest control chemicals off household products used for cooking/eat/food-storage, etc. Someone answered. That's what I meant by Practical questions, & couldn't find an answer on the web.

No Janice we know it wasn't you. That's why I asked whom Carol was addressing. 🌹
