This was a new one for me. But what a great idea it is! Read on... MOUSE PAD FOR THE CAT. I use a glass bowl for my cat's food. It was slipping on our floor's hard surface, so I put an extra mouse pad under the dish to keep it in place. -- Kriss, Wisconsin HAIR SPRAY IN THE SHOW- ER. I hate the residue from hair spray all over the bathroom. So I stick my head in the shower stall when I spray. All that residue gets washed away daily. -- Kathy, Indi- ana NO WASTED VEGGIES. I got tired of buying vegetables and hav- ing them go to waste because I did- n't use them in time, so I invested in a food dehydrator. Now I dehydrate onions, peppers, tomatoes and cel- ery, to name a few. Once they're dried, I coarsely chop them in my food processor and store them in an airtight bag. Now I have veggie flakes to toss into soups and stews. -- Millie, Indiana EYE MAKEUP EXTENDER. Because of eye allergies, I have to buy very expensive eyeliner and mascara. When they appear to be empty, I add a few drops of water to the applicator. Doing this gives me several more weeks of product use. -- Tena, Missouri FR OZEN ORANGE ZEST. Before throwing out orange or lemon peels, I zest them onto a piece of plastic wrap. I add the sealed zest to a zip-close bag and store it in the freezer. I always have fresh lemon or orange zest for cooking and baking. -- Phyllis, Georgia frustrated with yeast that was too old to use, I now keep my yeast in my freezer. I never have old yeast that doesn't rise, and it keeps for a long time in the freezer. -- Louise, e-mail WINE FILTER. If you break the cork when open- ing a bottle of wine, filter the wine through a coffee filter. -- Linda, Michigan ALTERNATIVE BUG Mary Hunt ERASER OF DRY- ERASE STAINS. I got dry-erase marker on a shirt and tried everything but couldn't get the stain out. Figuring the stain was there to stay, I experimented and tried plain old hydrogen peroxide. I poured it on the stain and let it set. It worked great! If you try this, you may have to repeat it several times. Blot in between, and then launder as usual. -- Jane, Missouri YEAST STORAGE. After being Everyday Cheapskate SPRAY. When a bee, fly or wasp is buzzing around one of my windows, I spray it with Windex. It shocks the insect enough that it falls, and then I can swat it with the fly swatter. Then I take a paper towel and clean the window. Debbie, Virginia -- Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
