Wow, there are some great tips in there. The ones I like the most are...

Sealed envelope -
Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap.
The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm...)

I wonder if that has happened to any of MY letters?

Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen
peroxide on a cloth and
proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.Works every time!Now, where to
put the body?

Yes, I must remember that next time I have a body in the back of the car.

Candles will last a lot longer if placed in freezer at least 3 hrs
prior to burning.

Interesting

Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for
future use in casseroles and sauces.

Not that there is usually any wine left but the though is there.
