Useful Bits of Random Information


  • A mixture of plain white vinegar and water (1:1) will help get ice off of your windshield.  If they are calling for freezing rain or ice during the night spray it on your windows before you go to bed and in the morning your windows are clean.  
  • The same 1:1 mixture used for your car windows also works wonders for cleaning windows, good by glass cleaner.
  • Run out of deodorant?  Spray your clean, dry arm pits with a spritz of body spray and it will hold you over for the day.  
  • Looking to cute a few calories from your baking, switch out 1/2 of the oil in a recipe for unsweetened apple sauce.  You can't tell the difference.
  • Save your drier lint, it makes a great fire starter for camp fires or a fire place.  And with that being said remember to clean our your drier lint once a month or so.  It's amazing what can get past that filter.
  • If you get ink or marker on your skin simply wipe it off with rubbing alcohol.  
  • Best hang over cure by far....headache medicine and sports drink.
  • If you like iced coffee, brew up a batch and freeze it in an ice cube tray...poof!.....no more watered down iced coffee.
  • When separating bulk cheese to freeze, add about 1 tbsp of flour to the bag and shake it around before you freeze.  This will help your cheese to stay clump free when you thaw it out.
  • Bloody nose?  Roll a small piece of gauze or paper towel up and place it up between your upper lip and top teeth.  It won't be the most comfortable thing in the world but it will help put pressure on the blood vessels and slow down the bleeding.
  • Cut your dryer sheets in half, they'll go twice as far and you won't notice the difference.
