I've used a few of these tidbits
Jun 17th, 2008 at 7:55pm
 
1.    Budweiser beer conditions the hair   
2.    Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish
3.    Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 minutes
4.    Mayonnaise will KILL LICE, it will also condition your hair
5.   Elmer's Glue - paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see the dead skin and blackheads if any

6.    Shiny Hair - use brewed Lipton Tea
7. Sunburn - empty a large jar of Nestea into your bath water
8.    Minor burn - Colgate or Crest toothpaste
9.    Burn your tongue? Put sugar on it!
10.  Arthritis?  WD-40 Spray and rub in, kill insect stings too

11  Bee stings - meat tenderizer
12. Chigger bite - Preparation H
13. Puffy eyes - Preparation H
14. Paper cut - crazy glue or chap stick (glue is used instead of sutures at most hospitals)
15.  Stinky feet - Jello!

16.  Athletes feet - cornstarch
17. Fungus on toenails or fingernails - Vicks vapor rub
18. Kool aid to clean dishwasher pipes. Just put in the detergent section and run a cycle, it will also clean a toilet. (Wow, and we drink this stuff)
19. Kool Aid can be used as a dye in paint also Kool Aid in Dannon plain yogurt as a finger paint, your kids will love it and it won't hurt them if they eat it!
20.  Peanut butter - will get scratches out of CD's!  Wipe off with a coffee filter paper

21.  Sticking bicycle chain - Pam no-stick cooking spray
22.  Pam will also remove paint, and grease from your hands!  Keep a can in your garage for your hubby
23.  Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls
24.  When the doll clothes are hard to put on, sprinkle with corn starch and watch them slide on
25.  Heavy dandruff - pour on the vinegar!

26.  Body paint - Crisco mixed with food coloring.  Heat the Crisco in the microwave, pour in to an empty film container and mix with the food color of your choice!
27  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
28. Preserving a newspaper clipping - large bottle of club soda and cup of milk of magnesia, soak for 20 min. and let dry, will last for many years!
29.  A Slinky will hold toast and CD's!
30.  To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate toothpaste

31.  Wine stains, pour on the Morton salt and watch it absorb into the salt.
32  To remove wax - Take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain, it will absorb into the towel.
33.  Remove labels off glassware etc. rub with Peanut butter!
34.  Baked on foo d - 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!
35.  Crayon on the wall - Colgate toothpaste and brush it!

36.  Dirty grout - Listerine
37.  Stains on clothes - Colgate
38  Grass stains - Karo Syrup
39.  Grease Stains - Coca Cola, it will also remove grease stains from the driveway overnight.  We know it will take corrosion from car batteries!
40.  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.
41.  To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox, or 2 Bayer aspirin, or just use 7-up instead of water.

42.  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 ones with the plastic clips have different colors.  You learn something new everyday!  Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

Wow...Jimmers thanks for those.  I'm printing those out.

Some of them I already knew but I had to laugh at the image of putting PrepH under my eyes cause I didn't get enough sleep.  Which was probably because I spent last night with a Bud conditioning my hair.

Good stuff!

Kids can reuse postage by covering stamps with Elmers Glue. They never spotted it and the cancellation washes off with the glue. It can be done again and again until the stamp wears thin. I knew a goofy guy that used to do this back in the 60s.... Cool

Hey Linda -- try the Prep H for those "laugh lines" -- it actually does work.... And at our age -- it's cheaper than a face lift... Wink

Why would anyone put toast in a slinky?  I have a couple things called plates/baskets.  Never heard of Karo Syrup.  But some useful tips here if you have kids like I do.

Anybody have tips on getting my wife to clean more than once in a while?  Stopping a baby from puking on me.  Convincing my son there is no such things as monsters.  And finally, I get these real bad headaches called Cluster Headaches.  Anybody know how to get rid of them?  Will Colgate up my nose while having a slinky wrapped around my head get rid of them?

Chuck...it doesn't matter what nostril.  But you can't get one of those cheap plastic slinkies.  Must be the real deal
