problem

I'm hoping somebody here here has a helpful suggestion for this. The chute where the ice cubes drop from the ice-maker, keeps getting like a soft frost build up that then turns to ice and of course keeps the ice from falling into a glass. I keep chipping it off, but it's not the solution...

I picked a huge bowl of broccoli. I washed them like normal and did a baking soda soak like I normally do. I don't know why I do the baking soda. It seems to make me think I am washing them good. Anyway, I cooked 1/2 of the broccoli since it was so much. They were delicious. Now, I forgot to...

OK Bah Humbug. I'll just get that off my chest now. I have never been a fan of the Santa lie, but as a parent there is no way around it. In my house, Santa has always brought 1 nice (relatively expensive) toy to each of the boys and the rest were from me. This year the kids are 6 & 8 and while...

My husband and I read Dave Ramsey's TMMO and we are motivated to get going on this. Problem: We are behind on payments :( Good thing: We make enough monthly to pay all of our bills including retirement and insurance and also have a little left over for savings and such. We've had some...

1.5 weeks ago I brought in a bunch of stuff to our local con. store, which I had only used once last year. She emails you that day with the listings of what things will sell for- after 60 days, if you don't pick up any unsold items, she 'donates' them, it's a written contract. Well, I waited a...

So I can't find another answer for this and I am trying like heck to avoid calling a plumber. I was an idiot and put too much food down the disposal :smhelp: the disposal clogged, started backing up into the other side of the sink and then tripped the breaker. I tried to plunger it from one...

My beans are splitting when soaked and now I am cooking them and the skins are coming off some. They are not expired. They are black beans. I used the two-day soak method I learned from youtube. Are the skins supposed to come off and will the beans split?

As some of you know, I have struggled with DH about finances. After out 3rd was born I handed everything over to him. That was 2.5yrs ago. Last Aug DH was in such a mess that he agreed to once again work on the DR plan. We have BS1 done and I listed our debts from smallest to largest. While...

My MIL can use her computer during the day with no problems. But if she uses it after dark with the dining room light on she get sick to her stomach. This is the only time she has problems.

Okay, I need some ideas. We have direct tv and we have no signal. I have been on the phone with the company and did all she suggested. Nothing. I have checked the connections, card, rebooted the system several times, etc. Been outside and looked over that. Not seeing anything out of the...

Hey everybody! I need some input please...it's a long story though. Okay...I took some things to a consignment shop here in town in May and have taken some more things since (before time to collect the first bit of money), but that was the first time. Anyway, the store changed its' policy...

I just tried to deposit 500 of my juju, but it is saying savings withdrawal. I know I did it right - now what do I do?

I wonder if this is happening to anyone else or, if not, what I might do to correct it if it's a problem on my end. Whenever I come to Frugal Village, I click on New Posts and always get a message something like: "This forum requires that you wait 5 seconds between searches." This is when I...
