GREAT TIPS:
1. Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a non stick skillet on top of the
stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust
crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel
and it really works.
2. Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are
all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it
up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into
egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
3. Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip
it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size.
You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also
eat less sugar and calories per serving.
4. Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated,
place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture
will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
5. Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil.
Wet newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as you go
cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some
gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
6. Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of
glass you can't see easily.
7. No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes
away.
8. Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants
with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and
the squirrels won't come near it.
9. Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add
an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum.
It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
10. Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not
have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that
cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- ta
da! -- static is gone.
11. Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill
with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next,
add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes
right out.
12. Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard
eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows
fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!
13. Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals
easily

14. Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies , take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider
Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid , mix well. You will find those
flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
15. Get Rid of Ants
15. Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see
ants. They eat it, take it "home", and can't digest it so it kills
them.It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it
works & you don't have the worry about pets or small
children being harmed!
16. INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS
The heating unit went out on my dryer!
The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us
that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and
pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint
from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted
to show us something; he took the filter over to the sink, ran hot
water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material -
I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like.
WELL...the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go
through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over
that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit. You can't SEE the
film , but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your
clothes soft and static free - that nice fragrance too, you know how
they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box, well this
stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen This is also
what causes dryer units to catch fire and potentially burn your
house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working
for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to
take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old
toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that
makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!

Well little Missy, how handy are you? I'm trying to decide what to go do first:)
Love those tips...can't wait to try the "sticky substance" tip...peanut butter is the worst!
Just tried the pizza trick last night....worked like a charm.
