The first time I used the thing, I input my home address and saved it to that feature. I use it often, and not because I don't know where I live. It's just comforting to know that wher- ever I am, hitting "Home" will get me there in the most expedi- tious way. But I have removed my home address. Instead, I pro- grammed my "Home" address to be my local supermarket's address. You'll know why when you read on. GPS SAFETY NET. Never put your home address in your GPS system. Use a local business's address instead, for example, the corner gas station. Identify it as "Home." You know your way around your own town, and just in case your GPS is stolen, directions to your home won't be stolen, too. - - Karen, e-mail SALES ADS FOR CAT LIT- TER. Junk mail sent to my house goes into the crosscut shredder and then gets mixed in with the cat lit- ter. It's an appropriate use for these sales pitches, and it saves money on cat litter, too! -- Lou, e-mail BODY WASH SUBSTI- TUTE. I ran out of body wash one morning, but I had a refill bottle of antibacterial hand soap. I decided to try it, and it worked great. For the cost of the body wash, I got 2 1/2 times as much antibacte- rial soap. No more body wash for me. -- Sharon, e-mail PROTECT THE CAST IRON. Place a coffee filter in your cast- iron skillet while it is not in use to absorb moisture and prevent rust. -- Linda, Michigan RATION THE Mary Hunt BACON. My young son likes bacon but doesn't eat much at one time. I cut the slices in half and then roll them up and flash freeze them on a cutting board. Once they're frozen, I pop them into a zip-close freezer bag. When he wants bacon, I make two or three pieces, which is really 1 1/2 slices' worth. That way, I don't make too much and end up eating it myself. The freezer extends the life of our bacon and helps my waist- line at the same time! -- Marla, e-mail FORK OVER THE ICE CREAM. Depending on the brand of ice cream I buy or the mood of my freezer, my ice cream is sometimes hard as a rock. When I have difficulty get- ting a scoop out with my ice-cream scooper, I use a dinner fork, and it slides right through. -- LGS, e- mail Everyday Cheapskate COMPARTMENTAL- IZED JEWELRY. I use the plastic trays from boxes of candy for jewelry storage. Earrings fit nicely in the little plastic trays that come inside boxes of candy. I store the trays in the top of my dresser drawer, and when I open the draw- er, all of my earrings are neatly arranged in their little plastic com- partments. -- Betty, South Carolina Spring hikes at Dye Creek and Vina Plains The Nature Conservan- cy will host a series of free public hikes on two breathtaking preserves in the area. The 37,540-acre Dye Creek Preserve, located near Los Molinos, and the Vina Plains Preserve, 12 miles north of Chico. Because the preserves are working cattle ranches, the Conservancy’s semi- annual tours provide the public with an opportunity to view some of the region’s most spectacular landscapes with knowl- edgeable and entertaining guides, providing insight on many cultural, geologi- cal and biological points of interest. All events are held rain or shine, with the excep- tion of a serious down- pour. Sturdy footwear or hiking boots are a require- ment. The weather may be hot, or humid and wet, so wear layered clothing, and bring waterproof clothing and a hat. Carry plenty of drinking water, and bring a lunch. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Space is limited to 25 persons, so visitors are advised to book early.
