“Technology can be really helpful, especially if you have very little storage area for papers. I had a trustworthy neighborhood teenager come over and help me scan in all my important documents. I have everything on flash drives and have given copies to appropriate people. She showed me how to scan a copy of warranty receipts so I can find the information I need quickly if I have an electronic item or appliance break down.” – T.L. in Massachusetts- D.B. in Minnesota has this to share: “When you are going fishing and only bringing a couple of lures, use an old, empty pill container. Holds well and you won’t get poked!”
- Oranges are wonderful treats and full of delicious fiber and vitamin C. Save your peels and stash them in a net bag hanging from your rearview mirror for just a day or two. As they dry, they give off the best smell.
- Need to take pills daily? Set a reminder on your cellphone. Most have alarm functions, and it works!
- “This tip is from my babysitter. She gives small children two ‘get out of bed free’ tickets at bedtime. If they get out of bed, say, for one last drink of water, etc. (we parents know these are stalling tactics),they have to give her a ticket. If they still have a ticket unused when they fall asleep, she will leave a prize with their parents for the morning.” – M.J. in New Mexico
- “My friend and I found these great vintage spice bottles at a garage sale. We decided that since we got such a good deal, we would treat ourselves to a few new, interesting spices that were a little pricey – and we went in half on them.” – E.D. in Illinois
