Some helpful hints, so I'm told.....

1 Budweiser beer conditions the hair, also makes very good beer-batter for deep-fried fish.

2 Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish

3 Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 min

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 - Jell-O!!

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.

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 food -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 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 one 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.

This gets posted quite a few times a year... I posted the same thing back in 2003.

A good tip to add to this thread... If your cat pees on something, you know how bad it smells when you leave it to fester. Mix a solution of water and white vinegar, and go to work on it. The vinegar helps to neutralize the smell. DON'T USE BLEACH TO CLEAN UP THE CAT PEE.

Also, dishwashing liquid soap will work just as well as laundry soap to get stains out. I went to the bar on my 21st birthday and some drinks got spilled onto my purse...I couldn't just throw it into the washing machine. The stains came out just fine w/ dishwashing soap.

That's all amazing. I'm about to try that Elmer's glue stuff... um. I hope I don't glue my eyes shut or something.

You must know original & revival casts, soundtracks, performance runs, dates, theatres, numbers, how many Tony Awards A Chorus Line won. You must be Broadway. That's right bitches. I AM Broadway.
