Finding Single Socks in the Laundry
By Ida Claire
When doing laundry I always have socks that don't come out with their match partner! Instead of just throwing the single sock into the sock drawer I propped a plastic utility basket up between the top part of the dryer and the wall. This is where I put all the single mismatched socks I find while doing laundry.

Credit Card for Loose Tape End
By Deborah S.
How many times have you put the tape dispenser down to grab something , pick the tape back up and the end had stuck to the roll ugh! Take an old credit card or hotel key, cut it 1/2 inches and use as a tongue to secure the tape from sticking to itself. You will be able to use the plastic tongue to pull the tape out easily.

"Why is that?" the mother asked.
"We ate a third of the cookies on the way home," he replied.
