Helpful Hints

My thanks to womensday.com for most of these tips:

Using hair conditioner:
Free up a shower curtain - Rub some hair conditioner on the rod to keep the curtain moving smoothly.
Stop squeaky doors - Dub hair conditioner on a towel and apply to hinges for quiet easy movement.
Remove bandage - Avoid ripping your skin by rubbing conditioner into the sticky parts of the bandage.

Quick fixes:
Remove mustiness in books - Sprinkle talcum power between pages; wrap blook in borwn paper; and store for several days.  Remove and brush out power.

Stop static cling - Massage a small amount of lotion on your hand and lightly rub over pantyhose, tights or slips.

Prevent spoon from falling into batter - Wrap a rubber band amound the top of the handle.  The spoon can rest on bowl's edge.

Hard-to-hold nails - Secure it with a small ball of putty or modeling clay.  After the nail is firmly in place, remove the putty/clay.

Smushed carpet - Put an ice cube on the area.  As the cube melts, the fibers will swell.  Blot dry, then vacuum.

Avoid wire confusion - Not sure you'll remember the arrangement of wires?  Before you move a computer or other wired device, take a digital photo to help with reconnection.  Another way is to use different color paint or nail polish on wires and outlet/port.  For each wire and its matching port, paint a little color on the sheath around the wire and on the edge of the outlet/port.
