Two great unrelated tips . . .

#1 -- Like crispy, crunchy bread crusts on your Italian and French bread? Here's the secret. Get a paper bag, wet it thoroughly on the outside and put the bread, rolls, whatever inside. Put in the oven for 10 or 12 minutes. Just like fresh made.

#2 -- I read this on Facebook. Your key fob? For those of you that have the remote door locks, etc.? Keep in handy. Especially maybe at night on your nightstand. (Check to see that it sends a signal that far.) If you think someone is messing around the house outside, or someone tries to break in? Set off your remote car alarm(s). Oh, and reach for your weapon, too, of course.

OK so reading that was a lot like dropping acid. WTF??? :lol:

Ok, I'll follow the theme of the op:

1. When using dental floss tie the two ends together snugly forming a loop. This eliminates wrapping both ends around fingers and also enables the use of the entire piece. With practice one can floss with one hand...

2. Rub a candle on the striker plate on door facings and drawer runners for 'clean' durable lubrication.

1. When using dental floss....

...use floss pics.

1. Tie a small knot at the end of your shoe/boot laces. They won't come out when to take your boots off.

2. Clip a metal binder clip to the edge of your desk to use it's little handles to hold usb ends, etc.

1. Write down all of your contacts phone numbers, etc, on a piece of paper and keep it in your wallet.

2. To many passwords to remember? Make them all the same word or phrase and add the website's initials at the end. Be sure to set up a junk e-mail to have password reminders sent to without getting put on a spam list.

1. Trouble waking up to the alarm? Sleep right throught it? Or don't want to disturb others when you have to wake up? Get a $20 flip phone, set your alarm, set it to vibrate, flip it closed onto the waist-band of your underwear when you go to bed. You will either wake up or you will have a dream worth sleeping in for.

2. Face your watch inward and people won't notice you looking at the time.

1. Self conscience about the smell after using the toilet? Do it right before you take a shower. The steem clears the air.

2. To keep the bottom of the shower curtin from constantly flowing in and trying to stick to your leg, move the curtin rod out away from the shower a few inches. The bottom of the curtin will rest on the tub. Taking a moment to sprey the curtin once your water is warm helps also.

Works on zippers too.

1. If your computer will not recegnise a piece of hardware you know for a fact was installed correctly and is working: unplug the computer and remove any battery. Hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds, plug it back in / put any battery back, and turn the computer on. The computer will now recognise that piece of hardware.

2. Do your feet hate steel toe boots? Buy a half to full size larger boot, buy insoles, cut the toes off the insoles and insert them into the boot. Fastin mole-tape to the inside of the boot where the steel-toe cup ends to remove any cutting sensation as you move throughout the day. Tie the bottom of the boot loser than the top to help circulation.
