Products in squeezable tube containers (makeup, moisturizers, creams, etc.) often has two or three more applications left in the tube.
You’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Products in squeezable tube containers often has two or three more applications left in the tube. Cut the tube in half when you can no longer squeeze out the rest of the product. You will find much more usable product left clinging to the inner area. Use a wooden “popsicle” stick to get it all out! -- Jeanne Parsley, Windcrest, TexasThis is an oldie you used long ago that’s worth repeating.
We grew up with lots of friends whose children were all getting married. We decided that the perfect gift was to get a toolbox and fill it full of tools that anyone, even a bride, might want to use. We would also add things that usually don’t come in a small toolbox, such as a power tool. We all pooled our resources so that the gift would be more complete.
This gift was so appreciated, and the grooms were especially thrilled. And as a little side joke, someone might put a pair of handcuffs in the toolbox for the honeymoon. -- Karen Greding, Thousand Oaks, CaliforniaI would like to remind everyone to be considerate of others when parking your car in a lot. Please park straight and keep within the lines. There’s nothing more frustrating when parking is limited and more than one space is taken for just one vehicle. Thank you! -- J.L.
I used some leftover vinyl flooring to line one shelf , as well as the spaces under my kitchen sink and bathroom sink. I sure wish I would have thought about doing this years ago. It doesn’t slide around, and everything stays put. -- R.M., in California. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. 2024 by King Features Syndicate Inc.
