I can just see our first tipster grabbing her ice scraper -- still dressed in her business suit and high heels -- throw- ing on a pair of goggles and getting to work! SCRAPING THE SPAGHET- TIOS. When my children were young, one of their favorite after- school snacks was SpaghettiOs cooked in the microwave. Often I came home from work to find dried-up SpaghettiOs all over the kitchen counter. I had a brainstorm and decided to use my ice scraper to chip off the mess. It worked beautifully. To this day, I keep an ice scraper in my junk drawer just for cleaning up dried-on messes. -- Bonnie, email SMOTHERING TICKS. My daughter was bitten by a tick while we were camping. Unfortunately, I didn't have anything in my medical kit that would get the tick out of her skin. But I did have my Sunbreeze balm, which I use for clearing my sinuses. I knew I could use the balm to smother the tick. (Petrole- um jelly also works.) After cover- ing the area, it only took two min- utes for the tick to die. I had my daughter rub the rest of the balm into her skin because I knew the antibacterial properties would be beneficial. -- Olivia, Kansas GARDEN LIGHTS COME INSIDE. When our power went out, we were fine during the day, but because my husband is dis- abled, it's important that we have light in the evening. Unfortunately, I was low on candles. Then I discovered a great light source in my own backyard: the sen- sor lights from our gar- den. They provided enough light for us until the power returned. -- Anne, North Carolina EGGS IN THE RICE COOKER. I use my rice cooker to cook soft- boiled eggs. I get two paper towels really wet, scrunch them up and place them in the bottom of the rice cooker. I add eggs directly from the fridge, put the lid on and switch the rice cook- er to "cook." When the bell sounds, the eggs are done. For hard-boiled eggs, I leave the lid on and wait another minute or two before removing them. -- Merryl, Aus- tralia PLASTIC FOR PICNICS. When I would make my favorite trifle dessert for a party or picnic, I used to bring it in my favorite glass bowl. I worried about it breaking, and it was a hassle for the host to have to return it. Now I buy clear plastic bowls and serving spoons at a dollar store. If it gets returned, fine, but if not, then I'm only out a buck or two. -- Cheri, New York TRANFORMING THE Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate GROUT. I had given up on my white grout ever look- ing good again. Then I stumbled upon grout paint at a home improvement store. I opted to paint my grout a chocolate brown color to complement the color of my tile. It was time-consuming and labor- intensive but well worth the effort. -- Terrie, Illinois Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
