It's a process that takes advantage of the inherent nature of wool and other animal hairs to shrink and become "matted" when stimulated by fric- tion (that agitator in your washing machine) and lubricated by mois- ture (water, especially effective if it's hot). While you may not have meant to felt that lovely sweater, don't throw it out. Today's first tipster has a great idea for how you can give it a second life. FELTED MITT. I found that felt- ed sweater scraps work wonders when cleaning even the toughest rings from my bathtub. And they make the tub sparkle, too. I made a mitt that fits over my hand, and now the dreaded job of cleaning the bathtub is fast and easy. -- Lynnea, Quebec, Canada D.I.Y. WATERING GLOBE. I use 2-liter and 24-ounce soda bot- tles to water my potted plants. These work similar to the "As Seen on TV" "globes." I drill a small hole in the lid, fill the bottle with water and place it upside down in the pot. This has been great, especially when we travel! -- Judy, email SPONGE AND CLEANER DUO. I attach a sponge to each of my cleaner bottles with a rubber band. Because the ingredients and abrasiveness of cleaners vary, it is wise to use the same sponge or rag for each cleaning job. For exam- ple, I wouldn't use the same sponge or cleaner to clean my glass stove- top that I use on my bath- room jobs. -- Tracy, Pennsylvania CAFFEINE FIX. If you make more coffee than you drink, don't let it go to waste. Let the coffee cool down, dilute it with water until you have a full carafe, and use it to water your house or garden plants. They love the extra acidic "fertilizer." In the winter, I use it to keep my herbs happy in the house. In the summer, my peppers just love it. -- Jennifer, Ohio Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate use them on anything that requires tape. For the labels on spools, I roll them out and spray in a long line. For the sheets of labels, I spread them out on newspaper and sprayed. With all that spraying, I only used half a can of spray paint, and the whole project dried quick- ly. -- Betty, Oregon DENTURE TABLET CLEANING PASTE. Denture tablets work great to clean all sorts of things. I crush a tablet and mix in a few drops of water. I apply this paste to the tray under the water and ice dispenser in our refrigerator door, allow- ing it to sit overnight. In the morning, I wipe up the paste, and the calcium buildup is gone. -- Annelies, Florida Would you like to send a tip to GOLDEN ADDRESS LABELS. After a couple of moves in the last few years, we had a huge supply of outdated return address labels. I decided to spray-paint them and use them to seal envelopes and gifts. I Mary?

Free low back and hip pain seminar The Dignity Health Hospitals of the North State are sponsoring a free Low Back and Hip Pain seminar 6- 7 p.m. on April 4 at Rolling Hills Casino in Corning. This seminar will help interested individuals to learn more about low back and hip pain and the latest in treatment options. Pre-registration is strongly rec- ommended by calling 530 24-MERCY or register online at redding.mercy.org in the classes and events section of the website. The presenters are Medical Directors for the Cen- ter for Joint and Spine Health of Mercy Medical Cen- ter Redding. D. Bradley Jones, MD, Orthopaedic Sur- geon, will discuss the causes of low back pain such as sciatica, herniated discs and osteoporosis. He will review the continuum of treatment options including physical therapy, medications and surgical options. Shawn Brubaker, DO, Orthopaedic Surgeon, will discuss the causes of hip pain and non-surgical and surgical treatment options including the anterior approach to hip replacement. This approach allows the surgeon to reach the hip joint from the front of the hip as opposed to the side or from the back. This pro- vides greater potential for less trauma to the muscles and a faster recovery time. Jones graduated from the University of Alabama School of Medicine. He completed a Spine Surgery fellowship at the Los Angeles Spine Surgery Institute under the direction of Robert Watkins, MD, who is the Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon for the USC Football team, the LA Dodgers and the LA Lakers.
