We went over this last time, DO NOT use rain gutters on the side of your house to grow plants. It will RUIN your WALL.

On siding like shown, most def. yes. I don't see it becoming a huge problem though with stucco, block, or brick though. Spacers too.

You shouldn't be working your yarn from the outside of the skein anyway, you should start with the end that's on the inside.

12 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 0

Looked to me as if the yarn had been re-wound onto a toilet paper roll, so perhaps it was rolled correctly?

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Point is, if you work your yarn correctly, it won't get tangled. Even if it was rewound, there's an inner end that you should be working.

Ice on a burn causes more damage...

12 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 1

Luckily you aren't putting ice on your burn you are putting frozen aloe vera.

12 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 2

Not if you put a towel or a couple paper towels around it. You just can't apply ice directly to your skin.

12 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

A towel around an aloe vera cube? Doesn't help...

Yeah, that's kind of a good point. Freezing aloe vera is just stupid all-around. I guess you could put it in the fridge. That'd be better.

12 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Also, when you have a sunburn, your skin is so hot that room temperature aloe vera already feels like ice!

The air pressure would need to be quite strong. Too strong to run without a canister. Would also be disrupted by wind.

Would also drain battery life like a crazy soab. And given you're not gonna use this for a while, when you go to pull it out..disappoint.
