It makes me laugh because, well, I do know a lot about how to save time and money every day. And I've learned most of it from my very clever readers, who over a period of 20 years, have taught me the most amazing things. Still, I don't know it all. I mean, really, who would have thought to outfit a baby with an alarm clock?! That's coming -- but, first, here's a great tip for chop- ping vegetables. CHOP 'N' FREEZE. I enjoy hav- ing celery on hand, but I could never seem to use it all before it spoiled. Now I wash it, chop it for cooking and then freeze it in small portions. I'm never without celery for a spur-of-the moment dish, or just when I need that special little taste we enjoy so much. This tip works for bell peppers, too. -- Glen- da, Oregon TODDLER ALARM CLOCK. My son and daughter-in-law were struggling with their 2-year-old get- ting out of his "big boy" bed before they were up in the morning. They purchased a kid's alarm clock and set it for the time he can get out of Caltrans Tuesday announced it has launched Caltrans QuickMap, an online service that provides California motorists with real-time traffic and travel information that will allow them to make better decisions about how to reach their destination more rapid- ly. bed. They use a baby monitor to make sure he is OK, but now when he wakes up he stays in bed and sings or plays until the alarm goes off. -- Colleen, Califor- nia "CLOTH." We are re- roofing our house, and we didn't want to pay the cost of hauling away the old shingles. We have an area in our yard that we are landscaping with decorative white rocks, so we placed the old shingles under the rocks to prevent weeds from growing up through them. -- Bonnie, Louisiana INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH WEED CREATIVE TOOL CARRIER. When shopping for a lightweight shop-vac, I liked the tool carrier accessory for the vacuum, but it was not included in the price. I bought it without the carri- er and now use an old fanny pack to carry the tools. It's lightweight and works great. -- Ginny, email Mary Hunt MINTY FRESH WITHOUT THE ANTS. I get rid of the pesky ants that dare to come into my home with fresh mint. I pick a few sprigs from my herb garden and place them where the ants congregate. By morning, those little pests are gone. This is safe for pets, too. Since I already have the mint growing in my yard, it can't get any cheaper than free! -- Linda, Wyoming To access Caltrans QuickMap, visit the Cal- trans site at quickmap.dot.ca.gov.
