Moles in yard

For each mole hole buy some pepperment oil and soak in a cottonball and put into the hole. Moles hate the smell and it actually makes them sick then they go away.

Time Savers - Cooking

Barbequing

I barbecue for one whole day every 2 to 3 months. I barbecue all different types of meat: ribs, pork tenderloin, chicken, hamburgers, bratwurst, country ribs and pork steaks. After barbequing all the meat I put the amount needed for a supper into a zip loc freezer bags and put into the freezer. Whenever we feel like having barbeque it's already done. Just take out of the freezer and thaw. Put the meat on a cookie sheet and in the oven at 250 degrees; in 30 to 45 minutes the meat is heated through. It's really a time saver, and it's a lot nicer to have it done without having to barbeque all the time.

fruit flies

I put a small amount of vinegar, plus a touch of honey and a touch of liquid dishwashing product together and mix well with spoon and it draws the fruit flies to it and kills them. It works!

ZOO

We took our grandchildren to the zoo. Had a wonderful time and we also rode the train. The zoo is free where we live, but had to pay a little to ride the train though.

Household Uses for Scott Shop Towels

I make the best use out of the Scott® Shop Towels. For starters, they are great for draining the grease when frying foods such as bacon, hamburgers, French fries, etc.. Also they are great for cleaning windows, never leaving a streak. They are great for polishing silver, dusting and other household chores. These towels never fall apart. The strength is so great that you can re-use them over and over again. No waste. Never found a product any better than the Scott® Shop Towels.

Small Plant Protection

When transplanting small vegetable plants into the garden, I cut up my SCOTT® paper towel and toilet paper end rolls into 2 to 3 inch pieces, slip them over the plants and give a little twist into the ground. This will help defeat the cutworm and other base destroying insects. It also gives a visual marker as to where the plants are. As the plants get too big for the cutworm to chop them in half, the cardboard will recycle itself into the soil.

Neat & Clean - Laundry

Straight socks

I hang my line-to-dry socks on a multi hanger; mine will hold 8 pairs. So, I pick out 8 from the laundry basket by the cuff end and slap the bundle against my legs once or twice. This straightens out all socks and they're ready to hang. Also when dry I try to match up pairs as I remove them so they are ready to put away.

Clothesline space saver

I line dry as much as possible. I also use the hangers that will hold 16 or more items as they take up very little space. This is not only for socks but bras and panties, anything small. All will dry unwrinkled. If by chance an item on line wrinkles and needs an iron, try throwing it in the dryer for a few minutes with a slightly damp washcloth.
