Some Fun Facts To Hold In Reserve

< Prev Tip | Next Tip >

Here are some hot-tips that you will find useful (one day). You will probably have to be patient before you can test these out. Don't worry -- when the time is right -- you'll be prepared!

A safety tip out of the Health Gazette Newsletter. If you're out in the open during a thunderstorm and your hair begins standing on end or your skin starts tingling, you could be in danger of being struck by lightening within a second or two. Strikes usually seek metal objects and go for the tallest object on the horizon (think "lightning rod"), so drop any metal objects such as umbrellas, golf clubs, etc., and lower your profile - stoop down, staying on the balls of your feet, and lower your head.

Great! A way to get rid of the fruit flies on the plants! When potted plants come indoors, they may bring unwanted visitors - those irritating little flies that nest in the soil the plants grow in! The solution? Soak a generous pinch of tobacco in a gallon of water overnight. Strain off the tobacco and use the resulting liquid to water every plant in the house. Within two days - presto! No more little flies. (Don't let anyone drink the infusion, of course, and promptly pour out any leftovers. The stuff kills the flies because it's toxic.)

Need to send someone a slightly elevated e-note? Here's a good source for classy online greeting cards: It's the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. BUT, before you leave us, make sure to bookmark this page, so you can skip back here quickly when you're done!)

It's a matter of time. Eventually, we need to say thank you for the baby gift. But if you're really grateful, you can also warm the giver's heart by including a snapshot of the baby wearing, using, or playing with the gift, whichever is appropriate.

When buying a new car battery, choose one that's been on the shelf less than six months, because idle batteries deteriorate over time. Unfortunately the dates are in code and are located in a variety of places - stamped on the case, on the wrapping or carton, or on a sticker on the battery itself. A common code uses a letter to identify the month when the battery was produced ("A" for January, "B" for February, etc.). K-9 would stand for November '99, for example.

Your car's radiator cap is designed to keep the cooling system operating at exactly the right pressure. So if the cap needs replacing, check the specifications of both cap and car to make sure you buy the right one. Otherwise, you could be opening the door to car problems. (And who whats that?)

Patience. I guarentee you'll eventually be needing the tips above. But for right now, that's it for me.

Unless of course you want some MORE HOT TIPS!
