Talkin'

One a these days I’m gonna do a time study
on the efficiency of takin’ the time to
carefully coil an electric cord and compare it to
just throwin’ it in a heap and
untanglin’ it when it’s needed. There
is almost always a little stretch at each end,
leavin’ a little clump a cord in the middle.
Now rope coilin’ is
prob’ly a different story. Most of the time
ya have ta pull out the full length of rope, so
tangles slow ya down some.
A water hose, of course, is
another matter all together. Some prefer not to
coil hoses at all. Just leave ‘em
layin’ on the lawn and raise the mower blade
up an extra inch or so. That way the hose is
always handy and with the grass keepin’ it
hid, you don’t have to worry ‘bout
someone takin’ it off the hook by the
faucet.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Here's A Tip
By
JoAnn Derson• "Instead of buying costly
freezer wraps for meats and chicken, I use the
cereal bag that comes in a box of cereal. I pour
the cereal into its own container, take out the
bag and open the seams, wash it under cold water
and let it drip dry. Then I store it in my
freezer to use the next time I get meat for
burgers or chicken for fajitas. ... I use the
wrap just like rolled wax paper, and it’s
great because after I take it out of the freezer,
it never sticks to the meat." — E.M. in
Pennsylvania
• "I used the mileage
counter in my car to come up with several 2-mile
routes for walking. Now, I can vary my walking
routine and be assured that I have gone 2 miles
per walk, which is my goal. I just drive from my
house until I hit a mile on the trip odometer,
and I walk to that spot and back." —

• If you live in an
income-tax-free state, be sure to check your
deduction for sales tax. New laws allow you to
write off sales tax on big-ticket items, such as
a new car or boat. Check with your tax preparer.
• To get coffee stains off
of your coffee carafe, fill it with hot water and
dissolve 2 teaspoons of dishwasher detergent in
the water. Let it set for 10 minutes, and use a
sponge to wipe the stains away.
• "I made a few small
cakes for my daughter’s birthday party, and
to send one home with a guest, I placed it on the
lid of a plastic tub. Then, I inverted the tub
and placed it on top. I hear it made it home safe
and sound!" — E.D. in Texas
• "To distinguish
between a cleaning toothbrush and one that is for
teeth, I wrap a rubber band several times around
the handle of the cleaning brush. This way, I
know it has been used for cleaning." —
