* Tie Dye T-shirt - mix a solution of Kool Aid in a container, tie a rubber band around a section of the t-shirt and soak

* Preserving a newspaper clipping - large bottle of club soda and 1/2 cup of milk of magnesia, soak for 20 min. and let dry, will last for many years!

* A Slinky will hold toast and CD's!

* To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate toothpaste

* Wine stains - pour on the Morton salt and watch it absorb into the salt.

* To remove wax - Take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain, it will absorb into the towel.

* Remove labels off glassware etc. rub with peanut butter!

* Baked on food -fill container with water, get a Bounce paper softener and the static from the Bounce towel will cause the baked on food to adhere to it. Soak overnight. Also, you can use 2 Efferdent tablets, soak overnight!

* Crayon on the wall - Colgate toothpaste and brush it!

* Dirty grout - Listerine

* Stains on clothes - Colgate

* Grass stains - Karo Syrup

* Grease Stains- Coca Cola, it will also remove grease stains from the driveway overnight. We know it will take corrosion from batteries!

* Fleas in your carpet? 20 Mule Team Borax- sprinkle and let stand for 24 hours. Maybe this will work if you get them back again.

* To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer - Add a little Clorox, or 2 Bayer aspirin

* When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are:

Monday - Blue

Tuesday - Green

Thursday - Red

Friday - White

Saturday - Yellow

So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie - not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the one with the plastic clips have different colors.

You learn something new everyday!!!

Heard in an email (so it must be true!) that bounce fabric softener sheets rubbed on your clothes or carried in your back pocket will keep mosquitos off of you.

Here's one I have tried: Tired of pulling like mad to get your arrows out of a foam archery target? Give a short blast of non-stick cooking spray before you start shooting. Should last through several rounds, and it's cheaper and easier to find than the fancy silicone stuff you find at archery stores.

But wait, there's more...
if you get a blemmish, put some visine on a cotton ball and hold it on the spot ... it really does "take the red out." :wink:

I tried that when I was younger. I let the kool-aid stay in for about an hour and when I went to check my hair, it was one big messy, sticky, unmanageable glob of I don't know what. :confused: That shiznit rinsed out pretty easily though. :ohwell:

I really wish hair coloring were that easy now. Instead, I spend $90 every time I go to the hairdresser. :crazy:

Keep on "highlighting." That way, you can deny ever going grey. You won't ever know anyway.
