HINT & TIPS ![]( http://images111.fotki.com/v741/photos/2/292835/2051547/house-vi.gif?1178487454)
Welcome to the FReeper Canteen Hints & Tips that can be make your life easier. Or not! Hopefully, you'll find something here that will make your life easier. Or maybe someone you know could use one of these ideas. If you have a hint or tip of your own, be sure to leave it behind before you leave the Canteen. Ma can always use helpful ideas on how to keep the Canteen clean with all the youngsters running around. ![](http://images19.fotki.com/v276/photos/2/292835/2051547/cleanbucket-vi.jpg?1178487403)
Let's start with some general household hints.
![](http://images17.fotki.com/v304/photos/2/292835/2872062/barbirds2-vi.gif?1147364171)
*** Use of soap wrapper: Don't throw away the wrapper after removing a bar of soap. Place it inside your shoe cabinet or shoe box. It's a cheap way of filling the air with a nice smell. *** If your polished furniture has small scratches: Try rubbing them with a shelled walnut. You'll see the scratches just disappear! *** If you have problem with slippery shoelaces which refuse to stay tied: Rub them with a candle and make them less slippery so that knots stay put. *** To keep lint and dust off glass top tables, wash them in a solution of warm water and fabric softener. Add one tablespoon of liquid fabric softener to one quart of warm water. The fabric softener will clean the glass inexpensively and will help keep lint from gathering on the glass. Also great for computer screens and TV's *** Don't throw away odd socks or socks with holes in them, use them to make a mop. Tie several socks (10-12 works best) to a mop or broom handle and use just like you would a regular mop. White cotton socks work best for this project and by the time the "sock mop" wears out, you'll probably have plenty more socks to make a new one. ***Get rid of pet hair on upholstery effortlessly by wiping the furniture with a slightly dampened sponge. (All hints found on websites. Management makes no claims to the effectiveness of any hints) ![](http://images112.fotki.com/v591/photos/2/292835/2872062/barbirds2-vi.gif?1147364171)
Join us again next week for more hints. ![](http://images112.fotki.com/v586/photos/2/292835/2051547/CleaningLadyCharge-vi.jpg?1178487428)

That’s so nice that you help your neighbor out like that! The mower needs a bag for grass. I don’t mind mowing. It’s so thick it has to be raked up after mowing. But a good way to burn calories ;)

Well I guess it couldn’t hurt to put on a few pounds,just be careful that you don’t put on to much weight.
It’s harder to lose then to gain.;)

My lawn is over 6,000 sqft to start with and hers is around 3,000. I have a riding mower and a self propelled someone gave me when it quit and they got a new one. I had that thing running in about 30 minutes, sharpened the blade and gave it a “roadtest” on my grass.
I’d really like to get a reel type, but that is too much lawn for one of those. The Dr says I need to get more exercise and that was how I wanted to do it, but after looking at the time I would be pushing a mower, I decided against that idea.

Good Morning Canteeners!
Looks like a great day here in the Heart of Dixie!
I'll be a bit scarce for the next few weeks; it appears that in my absence last week, the "powers to be" decided to significantly expand the next phase of the project. In their infinite wisdom they added to everything BUT time, money, and the deadline.
That will teach me to get sick huh? LOL!
I'll checking in for prayer requests and stuff, but pretty much reverting to lurker until I catch back up.
Have a GRAND day everyone!
