NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* Thawing frozen water pipes can be very tricky. Some people use a hot pad wrapped around the pipe; others have been known to use the hair dryer method (electricity and water don’t really mix; be careful). Hopefully you learned any lessons the easy way this winter, but if you had to patch any pipes, make sure you get them repaired asap. Sometimes people forget as soon as the weather turns nice. -- A plumber in Illinois

* When drilling holes in the wall, you can tape an envelope, open side out, to the wall just under where you will be drilling. Open the envelope up a bit so that any dust will fall directly down into the open envelope. It will keep your working area nice and neat!

Strange But True

By Lucie Winborne

* To make a special quilted keepsake, sew together baby’s receiving blankets.

* Want a delicious coating for chicken? Try basting with mayonnaise and then dip in crushed crackers. The crumbs stick well to the mayo, and it’s especially delicious with crushed butter crackers, like Ritz.

* When washing stockings by hand, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the rinse water. They will keep the stretch better. Also, if you line-dry them outdoors, slip a spoon or a few coins into the toe. This will keep them from twisting up in the wind.

* If you, like me, are washing your winter sweaters to pack away, add a bit of hair conditioner to the rinse. Also, don’t try to pull them into shape when drying. Just lay flat to dry. If you have a screen, you can set it up so that the sweater dries from both sides. This is best.
