Mickhon says "Great heater" about Lasko 760000 ceramic element

This heater has helped warm up a room with a crawl space underneath. The room is always cooler than the rest of the house and the heater warms us up nicely. Does take some time as the house has an open concept so the heater has to warm over 400 square feet. Still - great investment and ideal to take the chill out of the air....

Mickhon says "Outdoor Adventures, great for getting siblings to work together." about Nintendo Wii - Outdoor Challenge

Ninentendo Wii Outdoor Adventures game has a great module for kids to work together. It was refreshing to have a game centered around teamwork instead of constant competition fights. Don't get me wrong, they can still compete in some of the modules which keeps them interested....

Mickhon says "Guinea pig mite control" about Guinea Pigs

Our guinea pigs were losing hair and had scabs on their bodies, they had mites. The area vets wants $75 per pig (we had 3) to treat, and they may require 2 treatments each. We love our little pigs but that seemed excessive.

Hours of on-line research gave may potential home remedies, the only item we could find locally was Bag Balm which can be found at Walgreens. This is like vaseline, sticks to everything, but it really worked. We covered them completely in this goop, put rubber roofing in the cage instead of bedding and let the mites suffocate. The goop rubbed off over time, the mites were gone, and the scabs healed nicely.

If they would not have gotten better, we would have taken them to the vet but it for $7.99 it was worth a try.
