Hello, kids! Happy Saturday. I can't believe it's
the end of the week AND the end of the month!
Wow! Today's Tip is actually a double - two tips
for the price of one - AND it comes from our good
friend, AksarbeN. So scroll on down and check
out Aks' tips for the day.


AKSARBEN'S TIPS OF THE DAY

I keep forgetting to give you a tip that I’ve found works rather well. Months ago, the oil scented bottle with those wooden sticks that you place in the oil was empty. I was originally just going to throw the bottle and sticks out in the trash, but instead I put it in the cabinet under the kitchen sink, way in the back. Every time I open the door to the cabinet I continue to get a fresh scent of that oil which was empty. I don’t know how long this will last but it has to be six months or more now and it continues to give off a nice odor. I know I could buy more oil for it, but I can’t find the “same” scent so I just put it away.

Also if you want to keep the inside of the car smelling nice, leave a bar of hand soap “Irish Spring” is a good scent inside the glove box. You don’t have to unwrap it, and you’ll always have some soap when you need it in an emergency.

Thanks again, Aks!

We have these auto spray-mister things in different rooms. Wife always manages to put them face level. Not sure how i got out of mounting them ..... in the first place. Anyhow, I'll be walking down the hall or opening the bedroom door in the middle of the night. All of a sudden I hear "tuhuh" like a persons last gasp. Then this mist in the face. Eerie and creepy.... I'm glad most remnants of the incense from the past is gone. I even saw a auto air freshener thingy hanging on the door the other day. Enough already..... sheesh. I'll smell the empties as I'm tossing them. Thanks Pam and Aks!!

Our nightstands have a number of scented candles in them. Every time we open them - ahhhh!! Nice when going after medicine in the middle of the night.
