I loaned money to a family member across the state, and we would like to set up an automatic payment schedule. She gets paid weekly, so it would be easiest for her to do a weekly payment of $35 until the balance is paid off. (This was agreed upon until other high-interest debt is paid off first)

Paypal does free transfers to family members, but there is no recurring payment option.

I'm looking for solutions, and creative solutions are encouraged! Thanks.

My brother upgraded his Android phone and gave me his old one. I don't want to pay for a data plan. Can I connect to Wi-fi and get apps without activating the phone on my cell phone account?

I bought a comforter from Bed Bath and Beyond, and I hate that fact that it costs me $8 every time I need to wash it because my washer and dryer are too small to handle it. Which means that keeping it and using it will cost me $$. Therefore, I was wondering if I could pull out the quilting, and rip some of the bottom seam and make it into a duvet cover for my existing down comforter. Has anyone tried it? Any tips?

I need to make a 1/4" bead of epoxy for a project I'm working on. All I have are the two parts of epoxy to mix together. I was wondering if I could pour it into a heavy duty ziplock bag, and pipe it out of a cut corner, kind of like cake icing. This of course would be a very bad idea and very disasterous if the epoxy dissolved the plastic. I think it has the consistency of caulk, but I don't know yet, because I haven't mixed it yet.

I've been using Gladware for quite a while now, and now I'm looking for something that is glass so that it doesn't stain or take on odors. What I would really like is a set that is rectangular, so I can fit more in my tiny fridge, and nestable, so they don't take up storage room in my tiny kitchen. Plus leak-proof, so I can toss them in my lunch bag without making a mess. Plus various sizes would also be nice.

The Pampered Chef prep bowls are my inspiration. They come in a set of 6, in 1-cup sizes, they nest really well, and are leak proof. Now I would like something better for leftovers. Does anyone have any suggestions?
