Too Busy or Too Lazy?

Hmmm, I haven't been posting in a while - that seems OK, not a whole lot of readers out there anyway!
I have a few tips to share with you though, tips that are like trivia - not always useless, but fun to know just the same. For instance do you know...

• to vacuum a drawer with ease, just cover your hose attachment with an old pair of pantyhose - just shove the hose through a leg- and vacuum away, the pantyhose will allow the dust to get sucked up, but won't swallow up all the small pieces.
• use Alka-Seltzer tablets to clean your drains.  Crumble up 2 tablets and then pour 1 cup of vinegar down the drain.  After 20 minutes, flush the drain with hot water.
• dip your dry markers in vinegar for 10 seconds and then let them sit for 10 minutes before using. 
• use a pencil eraser to clean your jewelry.
• use cooking oil and salt to remove water rings from wood surfaces. Use 1tsp. salt and a few drops of oil to make a paste and gently rub into the stain, wait 20 minutes and wipe away.
• wrap your cheese in foil to make it last longer.
• fix a scratched DVD by spraying furniture polish onto the mirrored side and gently wipe it off with a soft cloth (like the one used to clean your glasses).

I have tried these and they work for me but I cannot guarantee if they will for you, if you know what I mean!
