Bounce Sheet,
Fold up a fresh bounce sheet and stick it in your pocket when you go outside in the evening.

it helps to repel mosquitos without smelling like bug spray.

This is a great thread. Lots of good ideas.

Can get that jar open??? Turn it upside down and firmly hit the lid flat on the counter or floor three times. It works! Really.

LOL! That brings back memories. I heard it worked, and well it did..sorta. I hit it on the floor too hard and ended up with spaghetti sauce all over the place! Since then I have learned to hit it on the palm of my hand.

something that works just as well is to hold the jar upside down and smack
the bottom with the palm of your had three or four times, then open it.

works like a charm!

LOL Jenny, I've always wondered about that.

I have done that to ketchup bottles and had the top shatter and fly off. Messy!

Use newspaper when cleaning windows. Streak and lint free.

oh that reminds me:

when trying to pour katchup, hold the bottle with the right hand, nearly horizontal,
and tap the neck with the left hand a few times. this brings the katchup right out.
