This week, instead of sharing tips you've sent to me, I've decided to hog the entire column to share some of my own. Several of these are oldies but goodies, while some I have just discovered in the past few weeks. I do love tips. What I love even more is when a friend or relative looks at me in wonder and says, "How do you know all this stuff?!" That just makes me smile. you are wanting to create a specific fragrance in the house, add your choice of herbs, then leave it open while it cooks and steams away.

If you're a heavy sleeper and have trouble hearing your mobile phone's alarm, you can boost the alarm's volume by setting it in a drinking glass. This works because the sound reverberates and intensifies inside the glass. It may not be the world's most pleasant amplification technique, but it works great for an alarm. As an added ben- efit, to turn the alarm off you have to actually pull the phone out of the drinking glass. This makes it a bit tougher but a bit more likely that you'll actually get up and not roll over to fall back asleep. can fill it up with water and then set it and forget it. Filled, you should get around 30 minutes from this makeshift humidifier with no risk of a fire. NEVER LOSE THE REMOTE AGAIN. The reason most of us lose remote controls to our television and other elec- tronic devices is because they don't have a specific place to go. They might end up on a coffee table, an end table, slide behind the couch or, as I have experienced, right into a trash can to never be seen again. find to be so clever stuck his remote controls to a coffee table with Vel- cro.

I cut off the amount of prod- uct I need for the task at hand, remove the protective paper cover- ing the sticky sides and affix one side to the remote and the other to the table. When a remote- control device has a home, you're more likely to see that it ends up there. BACON SMART. Here is an easy way to separate strips of bacon stuck togeth- er in a shrink-wrapped package: simple roll the package lengthwise into a cylinder, then flatten it out again. Open the package, and remove the desired number of strips, which will now be less tightly packed and more willing to peel off neatly and easily. Would you like to send a tip to Mary?
