Even after they've done their duty in the dryer, dryer sheets come out ready to go back to work. They make dandy dust cloths for TV and computer screens. They make quick work of cleaning up a yucky casserole (just fill the pot with warm water and a used sheet, and come back the next day), and, my all-time favorite, a dryer sheet makes a perfect stabiliz- ing layer inside a quilt block. Today readers share other ways they res- cue "this" and use it for "that." FREE SHIPPER. I sell books online through Half.com when I no longer need them. To keep from having to buy boxes for shipping, I carefully pull the glued side of a cereal box apart and turn the box inside out. I insert the book and use plastic bags as filler. Then I tape it shut. Besides the tape, I have creat- ed a completely free shipping box. - - Kim, Ohio SEEP STOPPER. My kitchen sink stopper doesn't hold water very well. It allows the water to seep out. I discovered that the plastic top of a yogurt container holds water way better than my sink stopper ever did. -- Jacqui F., Florida RECYCLED ART. The art teachers at our local public schools take donations, including toi- let paper rolls, paper towel rolls, coffee cans, empty plastic ice-cream buckets, milk jugs, plas- tic and glass containers, baby-food jars, and other materials. They use the donations for class art projects. It's amazing what they can create out of what you normally would throw away, and the teachers are so appre- ciative of the donations. - - Carrie, Michigan SAY CHEESE. I use Parmesan cheese containers to store baking soda, cornstarch and salt. It is much easier to measure and serve from these containers than it is from the boxes in which these products are packaged. -- Kathy B., e-mail BUCKET MANIA. We buy cat box filler by the bucket. Then we store fertilizer, ant treatment and small things, such as paintbrushes and rollers, in the containers once they are empty. I just pop the lid on and mark in big letters what's inside. In one bucket, I cut a hole in the side and put reusable store bags in it. I screwed it to the wall so it is accessible but out of the way. Nancy, Texas -- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate SWEET SWEEPING. Instead of using a Swiffer sheet to pick up hair and dust on my laundry floor, I use dryer sheets. Even though they've been through the dryer once, everything sticks to them, making it easy to swipe the floor while I am doing laundry. -- Deb, California Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Easier to be fighter than coach It's been weird having to explain to people that I've retired from fighting. Half are glad and half think I should keep going. I pondered the idea of trying sumo wrestling but looked online and had a change of heart. I watched a match that showed a girl who was around 300 pounds against a girl who was around 140 pounds. The big girl picked up the small girl by her diaper and walked her out of the ring. I'm not stupid — I know my limits. But it did look like fun. The only bonus would be all the buffets I wanted and as much junk as I could cram down my gul- let. Ah well, it is not meant to be. So, you may remember that I am coaching guys now for fighting. I had a great experience with the last fight, as my guy, Thomas Bal- lard, took the win and busted up his opponent's ribs. A prouder cage mama you could not imagine. He had anoth- er fight sched- uled. A fight that I did not want him to take. It was against a guy who had 2 wins on record — both 1st round wins. One win by KO and one by rear naked choke. He just seemed a little but too sea- soned to be fighting in the amateurs and to be Tom's second fight. I voiced my concern, but he was pretty confident — who wouldn't Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff’s Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol.

Avery Vilche Fitness Buff I went to the fight to be in his corner. He made weight, of course, as he's a serious fighter and takes his weight cutting seriously. That's when I first layed eyes on his oppo- nent. He was huge — had shoulders as wide as a refrigerator. He had done some time in prison, too, so who knows how many unsanc- tioned fights he had. Tom was still confident, and he trained hard and was ready to fight. It was the first round; they tapped gloves, and his opponent layed a mean kick right into his knee, which is illegal. Tom was shocked. •A cell phone was reported stolen Monday afternoon at Vista Middle School. •A laptop was reported stolen Monday afternoon from Aaron’s. •Solar lights were reported stolen Monday night from a back yard on Rio Street. The four, multi-colored lights were valued at $40 together. The opponent came at him and cut into him with a 4 punch combination. Tom went down. He got knocked out. I was stunned. I had to hold back the tears. I thought to myself, this is way harder than fighting. I felt helpless. I felt like I threw him to the wolves. I questioned whether I want- ed to corner anyone again. He came to, and we got him back to the locker room. He was OK. His pride was probably hurt more than anything else. We talked about it, and he agreed that he would drop down a weight class, so he wouldn't have to fight these huge guys anymore. He also agreed to heed my warnings next time. He's already training again — harder than ever. He feels he'll be ready to step back in the ring in the fall. I think that's adequate time to pre- Also stolen was a multi- colored hummingbird val- ued at $15. Violence An Evergreen Middle pare. Him being a trooper, he has agreed to do an exhibi- tion fight for the open house at the Body Projex this Fri- day at 6:30 p.m. at 1450 Schwab St. Unit A. He's going to fight another stu- dent, Nic DeFrancesco. They'll be doing an MMA fight, but there will be no head shots due to Thomas' recent KO. The open house starts at 5:30pm. Be sure to come by and check out the action. I'll be the one behind the fighters with my hands covering my eyes.
