HINT & TIPS

Welcome to the FReeper Canteen Hints & Tips that can be make your life easier. Or not! Hopefully, you'll find something here that will make your life easier. Or maybe someone you know could use one of these ideas. If you have a hint or tip of your own, be sure to leave it behind before you leave the Canteen.

Ma can always use helpful ideas on how to keep the Canteen clean with all the youngsters running around.

Let's start with some general household hints.

*** Use of soap wrapper: Don't throw away the wrapper after removing a bar of soap. Place it inside your shoe cabinet or shoe box. It's a cheap way of filling the air with a nice smell.

*** If your polished furniture has small scratches: Try rubbing them with a shelled walnut. You'll see the scratches just disappear!

*** If you have problem with slippery shoelaces which refuse to stay tied: Rub them with a candle and make them less slippery so that knots stay put.

*** To keep lint and dust off glass top tables, wash them in a solution of warm water and fabric softener. Add one tablespoon of liquid fabric softener to one quart of warm water. The fabric softener will clean the glass inexpensively and will help keep lint from gathering on the glass. Also great for computer screens and TV's

*** Don't throw away odd socks or socks with holes in them, use them to make a mop. Tie several socks (10-12 works best) to a mop or broom handle and use just like you would a regular mop. White cotton socks work best for this project and by the time the "sock mop" wears out, you'll probably have plenty more socks to make a new one.

***Get rid of pet hair on upholstery effortlessly by wiping the furniture with a slightly dampened sponge.

(All hints found on websites. Management makes no claims to the effectiveness of any hints)

Good afternoon, dear

It rained pretty darn good on my side. Wasn’t long after I got home that the storm rolled in. Lots of rain and wind, some thunder & lightning, but I didn’t see any trees or limbs down. Mostly just leaves.

Never accidentally close your cat into the refrigerator.

Good morning, Gypsy....this is important if you have a curious cat. Thanks.

Yeah, a cat enclosed in a refrigerator would come out fat and sassy to say nothing of emptying your refrigerator. :-)

Oops! You bought a loaf of french bread, or for that matter, any dough-based pastry and forgot about it. Now it is so rock-hard that it could be used to drive nails or be put into the nose cone of an ICBM.

Not to worry. Dampen it under the kitchen faucet. Alternately, you could coat it with butter or margarine. I use the butter method.

Heat in oven. It comes out like fresh-baked.

I’ve done it and people swear I baked my own bread.

[EsmeraldaA]

Heartfelt prayers are still up.

[EsmeraldaA]

OMG!! It’s Thursday!

Thank you for reminding me beachy. LOL!
