Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:08:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Grannymar http://www.grannymar.com/blog/2008/12/03/handy-hints-for-wednesday-4/#comment-19798 Grannymar Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:53:34 +0000 http://www.grannymar.com/blog/?p=1940#comment-19798 Suzie, Welcome to the party, and thank you for telling us about the Savoy cabbage. I do hope you have no future bruises to test the cabbage on. Suzie,

Welcome to the party, and thank you for telling us about the Savoy cabbage.

I do hope you have no future bruises to test the cabbage on.

No idea why, just one of those mysteries. Can't say if the same is true for the bruises, but I'll give it a shot next time I fall flat on my face...which shouldn't be too far from now, I'm a clumsy oaf. :) Just wanted to remark that the pregnancy-boob-fixing has to be Savoy cabbage, other types won’t have the same effect.

Girls, if you are going to try this method don't wear the new white blouse - green cabbage leaves + body heat might add pattern where you don't want it. Natural dyes are difficult to remove. Primal you are a gem!

I couldn't figure out where the faint smell of boiling cabbage was coming from. And me being me, I had to ask. Apparently cold raw cabbage leaves begin to soften and wilt (hence the smell) after 30mins or so in the warmth of the bra. I wonder is that why you find babies in cabbage patches?

The sticky tape should work on the lily pollen so long as you don't press it into the fabric. Also try Judy's tip since she is a florist and an expert! Magpie I thought you were lost in the snow!

Wonderful.....I've heard of using stock to cook rice or pastas before but that is brilliant.... Does the sticky tape work with Lily pollen....you know, that deep orange stuff? I use parcel tape (wide brown sticky) to remove cat hairs when they won't brush off. Turkey Soup Pudding! Wonderful…..I’ve heard of using stock to cook rice or pastas before but that is brilliant….
