A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm...)
===========================================
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them
neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
================================================
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn
dishwashing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't
refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)
================================================
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for
a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down.
The wax will fall out.
================================================
Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in
baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
================================================
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!)
rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
================================================
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of
scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw
away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this
would be much more economical. And now a box of S.O.S pads last me
indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get sharpened
this way!
================================================
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen
peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works
every time! Now, where to put the body? LOL
================================================
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for
inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash
windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably
streak.
================================================
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely
light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
================================================
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will
Smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with
towels and linen.
===============================================
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3
hours prior to burning.
===============================================
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add
the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and
dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a
charm!
================================================
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or
two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to
a boil on stovetop.
===============================================
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in
tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.
===============================================
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it
will keep for weeks.
===============================================
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out
the corn's natural sweetness.
===============================================
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your
forehead. The throbbing will go away.
===============================================
Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for
future use in casseroles and sauces. Left over wine? What's that?!
===============================================
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the
area and you will experience instant relief.
===============================================
Ants, ants, ants everywhere .. Well, they are said to never cross a
chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or
wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.
===============================================
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better
still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
===============================================
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter,
then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and
easily.
==============================================

Play gin-rummy tournaments online
At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
