A paste of baking soda and water, gently rubbed into your wet head before shampooing, can really rejuvenate your scalp. Some recipes incorporate the baking soda in the shampoo.
Can be very drying, so don’t use often.

Yes. That’s about my speed.

I have to fix the rear roller. The bearing and bolts gave out on one side.
Figured I would use it as an exercise machine. I detest running. It won’t take the place of the yard guy who does a great job.
I used to cut my own grass but after some border disputes with V.I. Lenin next door and the hassle of keeping a mower stored in my tiny basement, I am better off paying someone.
A rider isn’t practical here for a lot of reasons. I’d love to have a 70s or early 80s era direct gear drive Cub Cadet as a light duty tractor.
Here it is in action with yours truly partly visible.
I had a 2nd gen model. Waiting for 4th gen. 2nd gen were not bad to be honest. It mowed the flat areas while I mowed the hills. I have lots of hilly area in my yard. It was fun though. people walking their dogs would stop and stare mouths agape. The mailman was afraid of it till I explained what it was doing. Not unusual in techy areas but I live amongst hilljacks. Was worth every penny in fun times since I bought it used and the previous owner had NEVER used it. Must have been a gift since it cost me 60 bucks with all the accessories. Heck if I had to buy batteries for the damned thing it would cost me 300 bucks a year.
I recently moved on not an apartment. My house needs a lot of repairs. A few weeks ago I went to the house and found the front door had mildew on the outside. I had the answer. Hydrogen peroxide. I used a sponge and wiped the door with the it. Every bit came off. It is so much better than the mold remover I had bought. It even takes stains off of carpet, clothes, etc. Another hint from many years ago. My younger daughter was a toddler. She got into my lipstick and decorated the furniture and closet door. I had to think very quickly but I saw a bottle of baby oil. It took every bit of the lipstick off without damaging the wood. : )
Try hydrogen peroxide.
Oh you want a ride on robot mower. Welllll there are ones that could hauls a small to medium, hell a large woman. See BigMow. Wish I could have one.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLRfAWnl8ss
On not should have been into an. Sometimes I have to wonder about myself.
Nice legs.
But it doesn’t look like efficient exercise. Let the lawn guy do it, and try these gizmos that I saw the other day (I’m thinking of getting them, as they look like something an old lady like me can start small with, and build up):

Too kind but thanks.
I also bought it and other antiques and oddball stuff as props for stock things like that clip to make a few bucks. The idea is to come up with things others don’t have or very different takes. A few have worked.
Still need to drop 20 or so more. Slow go.
Thank you. I will try that.
I used to do it with Comet and a toothbrush; but that’s sloppy and just isn’t getting it white again in this bathroom.

Let me know if it works on that. I can not be around anything with chemicals including scented candles. I was a very happy camper when I discovered hp.

Try Bar Keepers Friend. It instantly cleans the yellow mineral stains from hard water you see in your sink and shower. No nasty smell either plus very inexpensive. Buy online or in store at Target for $2.49 for 26oz.
Look in the laundry detergent area. Some grocery stores have it. It comes in liquid or powder and has various cleaning types. I use the Bar Keepers Friend Liquid Soft Cleaner.

fertilizes too.
Thank You! I’ve seen that, and didn’t know that one could use it for tile grout. Will Try.

Very good idea; and sweet baby.

Ok I am going to ask it. How do you get rid of the calcium ring that builds up in a toilet bowl where the water evaporates. I have a very seldom used bathroom and noticed it the other day. It is used maybe 2 or three times a year. I went in there and went, ewwww. Sprayed it with CLR after turning off the water and flushing the water away. Day later did not look any different. It is a ring of scale I would guess 1/16th to 1/8th thick. Chemicals, or am I going to have to abrade this away?
