> clean.
>
> 8)Spray your Tupperware with nonstick cooking spray before pouring
> in tomato-based sauces--no more stains.

> me up."
>

>
> 15)To determine whether an egg is fresh, immerse it in a pan of cool,

> throw it away.
>
> 16)Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your
> forehead. The throbbing will go away.
>
> 17)Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for

>
> 18)If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing

>
> 20)To get rid of itch from mosquito bite: try applying soap on the

>
> 21)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.
>
> 22)Use air-freshener to clean mirrors: It does a good job and better
> still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
>
> 23)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, then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters
> painlessly and easily.
>
> 24)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 a stain 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, then run the hot water.
>
> 25)If your VCR has a year setting on it, which most do, you will not
> be able to use the programmed recording feature after 12/31/99.
> Don't throw it away. Instead, set it for the year 1972, as the days
are
> the same as the year 2000. The manufacturers won't tell you. They
want
> you to buy a new Y2,000 VCR.
