Use the flat thing that holds the bread wrapper closed on the end of masking tape to keep up with the end.
Zinc oxide for burns — I don’t know if it works as well on sunburn but is AMAZING on other burns. I grabbed the handle of a sautee pan I’d just removed from the oven, and practically melted my palm. :eek: I slathered zinc oxide on it, wrapped it, and in the morning no more burn. Just a dried-up crusty place. And no more pain.
Here’s one that kinda goes along with the previously mentioned olive oil getting pine sap off skin- baby oil works great on stuff like that, too. One summer I worked for the state highway department painting salt trucks and snow plows. I came home really covered in overspray- hair, face where it was not covered by the respirator, hands, and forearms. A few days I got road tar on me. Baby oil slathered on dissolved all the paint and/or tar and allowed further complete cleaning with soap, water, and a washcloth. I have found since then that it works on most anything that’s not water soluble- paints, adhesives, etc.
Oh- veggie oil’s a better choice for pet cleaning. I once had to use salad oil to clean vinyl flooring adhesive off of my (stupid) dog. Worked fine.
Which makes a lot more sense than leaving the alcohol out of the glass. Unless you’re a crooked bartender I don’t where the intended advice would be useful.
Obviously a toothbrush is the best thing. But sometimes you’re camping don’t have the opportunity to brush first thing in the morning. Or you slept on a long flight and don’t have a toothbrush. In situations like that, eating something can help clean up your mouth.
Failsafe reaheating in the oven: Use the Time Cook option on your stove (if it has one) to automatically turn the oven off after a certain time. You don’t necessarily have to let the oven preheat. Put the frozen pizza or whatever in, turn the oven on, and set the timer for a minute or two more than the recommended time. You’ll come back to a perfectly cooked meal no matter how long it’s left in.
I finally figured this out after burning umpteen pizzas because I got involved in a game or something and didn’t hear the timer go off.
These are great - this is a brilliant idea for pasta; I’m one of the few people in the world who has a tall, thin container for spaghetti, but I would use this if I didn’t.
Why would you want to do this?
I take a vitamin C pill when my legs get to jumpin’; it really seems to work for me.
You might want to check out Pinstrosity Some of those things floating around don’t work very well. For instance, nail polish can melt in a car that gets hot enough.
Actually, this is true for everyone. One of my favorite cures for insomnia.
I’ve heard this as a trick that bartenders use when they’re dealing with someone whose already had too much to drink. I suspect that if you aren’t plastered already, you’d probably notice the lack of alcohol. Not to mention the bartender wiping his finger on your [g]lass
