Myth: Pet insurance claims are too slow

Many insurers even offer options for direct payment to the vet, reducing the out-of-pocket burden. Check out Money’s Best Pet Insurance list to find options with fast and painless claims processing.

Restore cloudy silicone with 7+ easy cleaning methods that take minutes and use pantry staples. Did you know . . . silicone resists heat and water, but clings to oils, so pairing dish soap with baking soda, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide lifts that stubborn film fast.
TIP OF THE DAY
Is Your Garden Seed Stash Begging for Help?
Spread cleaned seeds on coffee filters for 7 to 10 days until they are stiff and papery. Slip them into paper envelopes, then seal the envelopes inside a glass jar with silica gel or a tablespoon of dry rice. Label variety and year. Store the jar in a cool, dark spot, like a closet or the back of the fridge. Avoid temperature swings. When you take the jar out, let it warm to room temp before opening so no condensation forms. |  |
