And I'm not knocking it. But I love it when I don't have to purchase something when I already have something that will work just as well. I think you'll agree when you read our first reader tip.

My son suggested I use pliers. What a wonderful solution! Pliers are now part of my utensil drawer. -- Bev, email PLIERS BREAK THE SEAL. I D.I.Y. GARMENT BAGS. I got such a kick out of Shellie from Texas, who wrote about using aluminum foil and an iron to seal plastic bags. My mom taught me that trick when I was a kid, and I've been doing that ever since -- I'm almost 76 years old, so it's been a long time. We used the same iron and foil method to make our own garment bags, similar to the ones the cleaners used. We folded the corners on an angle and left a small opening in the middle for the hanger to slip through. -- Priscilla, email HEAT FRIES THE LICE. Reading the tip about using mayonnaise to get rid of lice brought back memories. My daughter has thick, natu- rally curly, long hair. About 10 years ago, she got lice, and I thought we would never get rid of them. In desperation, I took my Chi flat iron, turned it up to the highest temperature of 356 degrees and straightened her hair. I thought this would help with the comb- ing out. To my surprise, it killed the lice, nits and all. The heat from the flat iron melted whatever it is that holds the eggs to the hair, and they literally fell out. I was amazed and so happy. Now, when friends complain about their children and lice, I suggest the flat iron. -- Lisa, Tennessee We live in Chicago and often have strong winds. My husband has repaired our awnings several times over the years. Last year, he sewed all the seams with fishing line. This year, when the FISHING LINE FOR REPAIRS.

When- ever we order Chinese food, we get white rice even when we order fried rice, too. I put the white rice in zip-type freezer bags to use later. I have kept the rice as long as three months in the freezer, and it still heats up tasty.-- Joanna, email Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
