      We have an older, but still in good condition handheld Shark vacuum that the paper in the permanent, cleanable filter had deteriorated in. Due to it's age, a replacement filter was not to be had at all. After thinking about it a while, I cut the deteriorated (and holey) filter material out of it framework, and a large basket filter fit over it perfectly. Just like that the vac is useable again.

      I have a very small Mr. Coffee-like machine which takes very small filters. However, having cats I purchased water fountains which need filters, which are almost impossible to find here in Israel. Solution? I cut the small filters to the size of the filter in the water fountain and insert into water fountain. Seems to work very well and I save lots of money on purchasing the filters via Amazon and import fees, which costs almost as much as the product themselves.

    Thank God for coffee filters! I rarely drink coffee but use them in other ways, for eg. as diy tea bags to make my own customized tea blends. I also add spices to them. Sometimes I don't tie the top, I just give it a good twist. You can also save the strings from tea bags and use them as ties.

    Just a health reminder: Re-using cooking oil changes the oil into a different chemical arrangement, making it a trans fat and an artery clogger. Most seed oils are genetically modified already, and have been bleached and heated, even before you use them. If you repeatedly use high heat for frying or deep frying, you are putting a substance into your body that the mitochondria cannot process, and the body will store it in your arteries. Always fry on low heat using non-seed oils like avocado, coconut olive oil or animal fat like ghee, butter or beef fat. Once heated, it should be disposed of. Rancid oils kept in the refrigerator are terrible for your health.

      @@graciaschlafly7183 I understand. But using leftover oil that has been heated already is not good for you. Seed oils like safflower, corn, soy, canola or mixtures of those are genetically modified oils and are not good for you even BEFORE heating. Oils have further been bleached. My suggestion would be to always use fresh olive or avocado oil, or ghee, a good grade of butter, beef fat from low cooking temperatures or even chicken fat. Clogged arteries can be cleared out, but it must start with diet.

      @@greenonions7978 I'm glad you are still here. But so many are not, due to clogged arteries, heart attacks and strokes due to eating oils that the body cannot handle. Re-heating oils produces similar chemical arrangement as trans fats. They were supposed to pull it off the market due to it's health-destroying properties, but didn't. We can still find many foods with "hydrogenated vegetable oils" in them. Look inside an empty pan that has deep fried foods. You often see a layer of a shiny brown film on the sides. The chemical composition is similar to shellac. And that is what it looks like. This "shellac" is what is foreign to nature. It doesn't exist in nature. Your body cannot break it down, so it stores it.

We always managed to find their owners or find them a new home after a period of time. You can't turn them over to the local so called shelter as they will put the animal down. We only adopted them out to a new family after we searched for the owners. Unfortunately a lot of those people will not answer any of the ways we try to contact them for various reasons. We have rescued several cats (ferals) that have had kittens. My nephew rescued two female kittens and had them fixed. I'm in the process of getting a male kitten 🐈 fixed. Anyways we have more than our share of cats living in our home. Just remembered that I rescued a very young German Shepherd puppy that was hit by a car 🚗. When I tried to take him to the shelter they wanted to put him down as it would have cost them to care for him until they could adopt him out. He turned out to be a pure breed German Shepherd. I ended up taking care of him myself. After a couple of months he was doing well. I ended up keeping him for 10 1/2 years before I had to put him down. That was the hardest thing I ever had done. He was my friend who watched after me. He woke me up late at night I couldn't figure out why? When I was going to the bathroom I collapsed, starting having seizures and went into a coma. I had a aneurysm that almost killed me. After a brain operation I survived thanks to my four legged friend . I owe my life to him 😭😞😭😞. I'm going to be 72 years old in about a month. So I can't get another German Shepherd as I don't know how long I have left on this planet. When I pass I want to be cremated and having my ashes spread where I spread his ashes.

    Not sure if I'd buy coffee filters for other purposes since i don't drink coffee as they aren't always inexpensive. My question is, how do you reuse a coffee filter if it was previously used for brewing coffee? I mean, you'd still have residual grounds as well as aroma from the coffee, which seems to knock out the sachet. Also, i don't believe i would that same filter for stiring seeds either.

      For some, the greasiness of McDonald's hash browns is part of their charm. It adds a certain indulgence and decadence to the breakfast experience. It's like treating yourself to a guilty pleasure once in a while. However, for others who prefer a cleaner and less greasy meal, it might be necessary to explore alternative options or modify their order to suit their preferences.
