Your favorite "Life Hacks" you can recommend.

Posted on 03/23/2019 8:49:44 AM PDT by MNDude

A "life hack" phrase that describe any hacks, tips and tricks that get things done quickly by automating, increase productivity and organizing (formerly called a "good ideas."

Examples: putting soap and water in a blender and turn it on to clean it. Heating a cup of water in the microwave to loosen the food. Using a shoe as a cupholder. (Millions of things you can do with duct tape).

I believe the older generation probably had many of these, particularly for home remedies.

Which "life hacks" can you recommend?

They still have Dominoes? I thought they went the way of BlockBuster Video and Radio Shack. Dominoe’s hit their stride in the late 80’s early 90s. Now they are forgotten.

Every time I see that I figure a tranny created it since that is the 10 perfect on the chart. Think about it

Never liked Dominos. Pizza Hut was great in the 80s with those personal pan pizza supremes. Now I only buy Italian/NY/NJ style pizza.

Use a pasta pot to make stock. When bones have cooked enough just lift the liner and you are done straining!

Domino's has been in the top three pizza delivery companies for as long as they've been around. Full disclosure: I have about 12 1/2 years with Domino's, Three stores, two states, loaned out to five other stores.

My original point stands. Ask any Domino's driver where to move or NOT to move.

If your dog digs holes in your back yard, put the dog poop in the hole and cover it over with dirt. The dog won’t dig there again.

That didn't work for us. We had to use poop from the next-door neighbor's dog in the hole, then it worked like a charm. They gave us a strange look when we asked, can't imagine why.

The hot/crazy matrix is surprislngly accurate. It applies to men as well as women.

Saw that as a news item a couple days ago, part of their (Hilton chain) going “green”. Bring your own soap, maybe sleeping bag too.

When you open a new jar of spices before you remove the inside seal, cut it in half with an exacto knife or razor blade. Peel off just half of the seal. When you measure a teaspoon or whatever amount you need, use the remaining half of the seal to level the spoon.

I saw someplace that that works really well for leftover bits of deodorant sticks, too. Just nuke ‘em and pour them into a partly used stick that has enough room and, presto, new stick. They do warn, however, not to heat them too much, no more than is necessary... Otherwise, it’ll change the chemical makeup of the little bits, the fragrance, the antiperspirant properties, etc.

A 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2. Or so Laz tells me.
