I know that feeling all too well. And I, like our first reader today, know how to cre- ate that good feeling in more constructive ways, like saving and not spending. NIP SELF-PITY IN THE BUD. I have cut down on my spending and have eliminated impulse buying. I am making inroads, but I get depressed about my finances since I don't seem to be pulling out of debt as fast as I would like. To help combat these feelings, I decided that every time I got depressed about indebtedness, I would go online and transfer $10 into my online sav- ings account. Doing something posi- tive cheers me up, and it kicks my depression out the door. -- Delores, California GREETING CARDS' ADDED BENEFIT. The Gideons International -- yes, the organization that places Bibles in hotel rooms -- also sells all- occasion greeting cards on their web- site at Gideons.org. For $3, you receive your card and a tax-deductible receipt (for more than half of the cost of the card). With the purchase of each card, two New Testament Bibles are placed somewhere in the world, in more than 193 countries. -- Judy, California CLOSET NAIL FILE. Take a large emery board, and punch a hole in it with a hole-puncher or an ice pick. Then, thread a long string through it, and tie it to the rod in your clos- et. If you feel a snag on your fingernail while get- ting dressed (which is when you catch your clothes on the snag), you can quickly and easi- ly file your nail and get rid of the snag. -- Caroline, Texas PAINT REMOVER. I have had luck rubbing Murphy's Oil Soap at full strength directly on the paint stain on my jeans. The stain comes out even when my jeans have already gone through the washer and dryer. -- Jan, Massachusetts SEASONAL SHOWER locations all over the world), and check out gift cards for local restaurants and attractions.

For bridal shower and wedding gifts, I like to give the new couple hand towels or placemats and napkins with holiday themes. Many new couples can't afford to dec- orate their bathroom or kitchen for the holidays, and this gift is always a hit. - - Sue, California SAVE MONEY ON VACATION.

My 94-year- old mother uses the plastic (sometimes they are wax paper) bags from her breakfast cere- al boxes on which to knead and roll out dough. I think she is absolutely brilliant.
