HINT & TIPS

Welcome to another installment of the FReeper Canteen Hints & Tips. Hopefully, you’ll find something here that you’ve never heard before. If you have tried one of these hints, please share your thoughts on it.

Tonight, we’ll do some general household hints.

*** Metal cookie cutters double up nicely as unique napkin holders for special dinners. If you want, spray paint them to match the decor.

*** Remove adhesive from stickers on glass by rubbing vegetable oil with a soft cloth or paper towel, then wash.

*** Pan size is measured from the top, not the bottom.

*** Put used steel wool scrubbing pads in a plastic bag and store in the freezer to help prevent rust.

*** Trouble putting the lid on a plastic container? Run the lid under hot water for 20-30 seconds and it will close easily.

*** Glass tabletops will sparkle if you rub gently with lemon juice or with vinegar, then dry with paper towels and polished with newspapers.

(All hints found on websites. Management makes no claims to the effectiveness of any hints)

Join us again next week for more hints.

Works great on windows, too. (or did someone else already point this out?) LOL!

Cool woohoo Tann!

Good evening, Mayor

[beachn4fun]

There you are.

I’m just on my way to bed. Don’t have time for popcorn.

I think Tanniker needs competition for the 50s.

(((HUGS)))

[luvie]

Never squat with your spurs on! :D

[Tanniker Smith]

Thanks. I think I made it in Windows Paint. Just played with the fonts, the color and size, and saved the image.

I was sorta shamed into making one by Luv or beach or someone when I woohoo'ed without a picture and everyone else had a picture....

So I made a picture.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hiya, Lucky.

[beachn4fun]

Nope, no one did.

But, it’s good to have positive feedback on hints.

see just WHAT those 11 herbs and spices really ARE!"

[luvie]

I’m on it!

Wouldn’t want him to get lonely! LOL!

[AZamericonnie]

Sounds delish Conor...I don’t know anything about scotch though.

[beachn4fun]

Well, I don’t know. It really looks like something you might want to hold on to....just in case.

(wink)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, AZ....thanks for the red, white, and blue tribute.
