 Some interesting tips...thought of sharing with you all...

 How  many of these did YOU know about? 

A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
knife under the flap. The envelope  can then be  resealed.   (hmmmmmm..) 
============
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them 
neat  and  you can  write on the roll what appliance it belongs  to.
========== 
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures:  get  warm water and put 
Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all  over the steps. They won't
 refreeze. (wish I had known  this for the last 40 years!) 
========== 
To remove old wax from a glass candle  holder, put it in the freezer for 
a few hours. Then  take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The 
wax   will  fall out.
=========== 
Crayon marks on walls? This worked  wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped 
in baking  soda. Comes off  with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
==========
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops  (like store receipt
BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper  towel.
============ 
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S  Pads, I immediately take a pair of
scissors and cut each  pad into halves. After years of having to throw
away rusted  and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this  would 
be  much  more economical. Now a box of S.OS   pads last me indefinitely! 
In fact, I  have noticed  that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this way!
============ = 
Blood stains on clothes?  Not  to worry!  Just pour a little hydrogen  
peroxide on  a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.    Works 
every time!  (Now, where to put the body?)     LOL 
========== 
Use vertical strokes when washing windows  outside and horizontal 
for  inside   windows. This way you can tell which side has the  streaks. 
Straight vinegar  will get outside windows really  clean.  Don't wash
windows 
on a sunny day.  They will  dry too quickly and will probably streak.   
============ 
Spray a bit of perfume on the light  bulb in any room to create a lovely 
light scent in  each room when the light  is turned  on. 
======== 
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser  drawers and your clothes will smell
 freshly washed  for weeks20to come. You can also do this with towels and
linen. 
========= 
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in  the freezer for at least  3
hours prior to burning  .
====== 
To clean artificial flowers, pour  some salt into a paper bag and add the
flowers. Shake vigorously as  the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt
and leave your artificial  flowers looking like new! Works like a  charm! 
============ 
To easily remove burnt on food from your  skillet, simply add a drop or two
of dish  soap 
and enough  water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to  a boil on stove
top.

===========
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick  cooking spray before pouring 
in  tomato based  sauces and there won't be any stains.
===========
Wrap  celery in aluminum foil when putting  in the refrigerator and it will
keep for  weeks.
============ = 
When boiling corn on the cob, add a  pinch of sugar to help bring out the
corn's natural  sweetness
============ ===
Cure for headaches: Take a lime,  cut it in half, and rub it on your 
forehead.   The  throbbing will go away.
============ = 

Don't throw out  all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for   future
use  in casseroles and sauces ........  Left  over wine? What's that? :)
============ =
To get rid of  itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area  
and  you will experience instant  relief.
============
Ants, ants, ants everywhere ...  Well, they are  said to never cross a chalk
line. So, 
get your chalk  out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to
march. See for  yourself. 
============ 
Use  air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a  good job and better still, 
leaves a lovely smell to the  shine.
===========
When you get a  splinter,  reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
tweezers or a needle.  Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and
then  pull it  off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and
easily. 
===== 
Now look what  you can do with Alka Seltzer..... ...  Clean a  toilet.
Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush  and flush. 
The citric acid and effervescent action clean  vitreous China  .
========
Clean a  vase.
To remove a20stain from the bottom of a glass vase or  cruet, fill with
water 
and drop in two Alka Seltzer  tablets.
============ = 
Polish  jewelry.
Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of  water and immerse the 
jewelry  for two  minutes.
============ == 
Clean a thermos  bottle.
Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak 
for an hour (or longer, if  necessary).
=========== 
Unclog a drain.
Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the 
drain followed by a cup of  Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few  minutes, 
and then run the hot water.
============  ==== 
Do your  friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some  not-so-timely)
information on to a friend!  I just did.  
Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer,  doesn't it?
