Sometimes the advice is specific to a region or product, but our first read- er tip offers an international solution to an international problem. Yet another remedy to remove stains! DEGREASING, ITALIAN- STYLE. Here in Italy we have a remedy to get fresh, still-wet grease stains out of clothing: Apply a bit of talcum powder to the stain. Press it under something kind of heavy, and it will absorb the grease. After a couple hours, you brush off the tal- cum and don't even have to wash the garment. It could be a problem if you're in a restaurant and you decide to take off your pants for a couple of hours, but this works great at home! Ciao. -- Allegra, Rome, Italy MOP UP BATHTUB WALLS. For anyone who has difficulty get- ting on their hands and knees or stretching to scrub the bathtub and walls around it, use your kitchen mop. You get great leverage to apply pressure, without killing your knees or straining your back. -- Christine, Pennsylvania D.I.Y. TOWELS FOR LONG HAIR. My hair is very long, and I can't find affordable towels long enough to dry it. I went to a fabric store and purchased terrycloth and zig-zagged the edges, and now I have towels that are the right size for about one-third the price of extra- long towels. -- Stacy, Kansas STIR FRYING IN BULK. I do a lot of stir frying, so the basic ingredients are always the same. I cut up large quantities of onion, gar- lic, tomatoes and pepper at one time, and then store them in a large cov- ered plastic container in the refrigerator. This makes things faster and easier all around because I can take out what I need and save the rest for later. -- C.L., email Mary Hunt LABEL BEFORE OPENING. With three teenagers, who tend to be a bit lazy at times, I couldn't fig- ure out why I was throwing away so many leftovers — food items I know they like. Then I realized they would actually have to open the containers to see what was there. I solved it by keeping labels by the fridge and labeling everything. No more waste. -- Laurie, Maine Everyday Cheapskate RUB OUT THE SCUFF MARKS. To remove scuff marks from the floor without getting down on all fours, I do what my local supermarket does and cut a small x in a tennis ball. Then I put it on the end of a broom stick to hold the ball in place. I use this end of the broom to rub over the marks to remove them eas- ily and quickly. -- Jeanette, Illinois FLOATING IN AIR. Fishing line is marvelous for hanging and holding things. Practically invisi- ble, it is also inexpensive. A reel of line will last for- ever. I use it to suspend pots from trees or wreathes in front of mirrors. They seem to be floating in air. - - Fran, Florida Would you like to send a tip to Mary?

Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 20 books, including her January 2012 release "7 Money Rules for Life." Numerous groups at California State University, Chico, are collaborating to present Love Every Body Week, March 5–8. The events and activities of the week focus on awareness about of issues surrounding body accep- tance and eating disorders. The week is part of a national campaign to help people move beyond unrealistic standards of body and beauty that contribute to self-esteem issues and eating disorders for many people, especially young women, in the U.S. "Grappling with the multiple stresses of college life can provide fertile ground for eating disorders to develop or re-emerge," said Stephanie Chervinko, a psychologist at CSU, Chico's Counseling and Well- ness Center, who is a planner of the week's events. "This is one of the reasons why events like Love Every Body Week are so important. We want students to be aware that help is available, and we want to empower those who might be concerned about a friend or fami- ly member to reach out to them." The week's events will include two presentations by Marilyn Wann. Wann is a key player in the interna- tional fat activism movement. She is the author of the book, "FAT!SO?: Because You Don't Have to Apolo- gize for Your Size." Wann celebrates weight diversity and the Health At Every Size® approach. The following events are open to the public: Monday, March 5 •Love Every Body Expo, 3–6 p.m., WREC Learn how to love your body at any size. Receive information about eating disorders and body accep- tance from several groups on campus. You can see how celebrities really look before and after airbrushing techniques.
