Lifehacks/DIY ideas

The pocket method allows you to enjoy a nice pb&j without the mess....

 

seems like it would still drip out the front once you eat up to the jelly.

plus, once you get to the other end, all the jelly's gone and you're stuck finishing off with just a peanut butter sandwich.

 

Hold it pointing up. Fuck plates

I like I that way. Sometimes I'll eat in a circular pattern though to avoid it.

 

that's how i eat all my sandwiches, since there's always more meat/filling/whatever in the middle. people act like i'm weird.

but then, doesn't that negate the purpose of the peanut butter ring?

 

Yes it does. It's kind of like calling an audible right before the play starts. I change my mind a lot.

 

I just wrapped a jar of hot tea in a cold wet paper towel and put it in the freezer.

Been about 15 minutes and its already cold.

so, the cold wet paper towel trick works.

 

A 2-liter soda bottle is perfect for making 2 quarts of Kool-Aid. Just funnel in two packages, 2 cups of sugar, fill to about an inch and a half from the top with water, screw on the cap, and shake the hell out of it. And Kool-Aid packets are always better than the stuff with the sugar already added because you know you're getting real sugar...and you also get an opportunity to see just how bad it is for you.

 

I like this one.



This one, too.

 

To remove ink from clothing use non-aerosol hair spray. Saturate the spot and rinse water through the fabric, repeat until it has totally lifted and then launder as usual.

 

Double-sided velcro strips (loops on one side, hooks on the other). Good for bundling items such as power cords.

 

Kitty litter for cleaning up oil spills (cooking oil, motor oil).

 

Break the clips off the ends of plastic store pant and skirt hangers - use them for chip clips.




Save the plastic clips from bread and carrot bags to fix flip flops.

 

Gum on clothing or furniture? Rub ice on it and it comes off easily.

 

that pb and j sandwich looked awful....do people really put that much pb on a sandwich...ewwww


running out of cat food?.....let whats left sit in a bowl of water for 20 minutes and it will grow to twice or 3 times the size so you can placate kitty until you get a chance to buy more

 

Fresh pillowcase all the time, without having an army of pillowcases:

Clean T-shirt.

Helps keep acne down.

 

Cool thread.

Car won't start because your battery terminals are corroded? Pour coke on them (the drink), and rinse with water.

If you have a diesel, mix used automatic transmission fluid with the diesel fuel to save $.

Cheap way to clean your shower and kill mildew. A small amount of bleach and filled the rest with water in a spray bottle.

 

^^^ Vinegar will kill mildew also... It's also good for cleaning counter tops and cutting boards in the kitchen without the bleach "toxicity".

 

Tea Tree Oil mixed with water is the greatest mold and mildew killer there is. No particular brand - just showing what the little bottle look like.

 

Yes. Because that's how I roll. Crunchier the better.

And when your terminals are worn to the point that they won't hold a solid connection, you can run a screw in between the terminal and your battery post. It holds it good and tight till you can replace the terminals. This has saved my ass more than once.

I've also been able patch a tire by running a screw into the hole. It's obviously not a permanent patch, but it can get you a few miles down the road.

 

Both very good things to know in a pinch.
