Oh, I love my dehydrator! You should make some beef jerky or sun dried tomatos! I grow spices in the summer and dry them in it as well! Alot cheaper than buying them and they're better tasting too!

Hey Brook, if its like the one I used to have you can also make little omelette type thingy's in it, just pour the egg in and add you fillings and close the lid.

I think the best one so far has to be california casey's light for cat urine lol

I'm sure its a hassle for her trying to locate it as she said, I'm just trying to picture how the thing looks like....

It's just this little laser light, that when shone on cat urine the urine should "glow" purplish...but I don't think it works....

Okay, I admit it is the LAMEST gadet!!! That damn cat peed on some towel once too and I kept smelling that urine but I couldn't find out where it was coming from! That's why I bought the stupid light!!!

(but it still didn't work....oh well!!!)

Breadmaker, registered for it when we got married. Only used it twice maybe. The bread is good but lately...well...you know the issue.

You know what Jim, John loves fresh bread from the bread maker~! I grabbed a couple of boxes of the mix for him the other weekend when I was at the store, and didn't even notice until I got home that one of them was "low carb"! Nice surprise, but I havent' tried it yet.

Casey, one of my "special" cats has the habit of peeing where she shouldn't. (she's in remission from a supposedly fatal disease, I won't bore you with details) An animal behaviorist once gave me the tip of using a black light to find cat pee. Is that what you have, or is what you have something else??
Anyway, cat pee glows under a black light.

When I smell cat pee, I wait until it's dark and get out my black light, a long extension cord and a stick of chalk. I find the spots, then circle it with chalk so I can find it again in the light. THEN...in a squirt bottle mix up a solution of 1/3 vinegar, 1/3 ammonia and 1/3 water. Liberally spray, then wipe off and clean as you usually would. The concoction stinks....but the smell dissapates quickly, and it really does get rid of the cat pee smell!!!

Re: What gadget do you have in your house, that is completely useless??

Thank you soft'n red, yes I think it is some sort of black light, but maybe the beam just isn't wide enough. The chalk (or tape) good idea.

I do have a long tube black light, maybe I'll try that one.

Do you use Nature's Miracle? Is doesn't seem to work as great as everyone says....It's almost impossible to get that icky stink out of everything

I don't know if dog pee is anything like cat pee, but when we first got our dog from a rescue group, he had some issues, and he peed on my couch (it took everything I had in me not to beat the dog). My friend suggested a pet stain remover from Mohawk. Call around to a few carpet stores, and ask them if they carry, or if they will order the Mohawk pet stain remover in the orange bottle. This stuff works like a charm. It removes every trace of urine, and didn't destroy my upholstery. My couch looks like the day I bought it. I tried calling several upholstery/carpet cleaners, and no one would touch it. Thank god for this stuff from Mohawk.

MOG, we think whoever had Pedro before we got him abused him. We got him from a rescue group.
