Today's tips had me slapping my forehead many times and saying, "I should have known that!" AIRLESS BROWN SUGAR. I want some. -- Nellie, email JANITOR'S SCHOOL SUP- PLY BONANZA. My father worked as a school janitor, and at the end of each school year, students threw away notebooks, I've seen a multitude of hints about what to put in with your brown sugar to keep it soft, like bread and apple slices. But I've discovered that it's not what you put IN the brown sugar, but what you take OUT that works. AIR. When I buy brown sugar, I immedi- ately pour it into a zip-type storage bag, squeeze out as much air as possible, and roll it up before sealing the bag. I have not had to throw out any petrified brown sugar since I started using this method. -- Bonnie, Wisconsin PICKLED CUCUMBERS. Some- times I get bored with eating plain cucumber slices, but I don't want to add salad dressing because it ups the calories.

I leave them in the jar and fish them out when would bring home these items for the four of us kids to use.

We also had gym clothes and shoes to outfit us for the year. Get friendly with school janitors, and enlist their help. The end of the school year is a great time to pick up tossed, useable items. -- Debora, email FROZEN BACON STOCKPILE. I paper, pens, gym clothes and shoes.

Displaying scarves so they don't get crushed is super easy. Simply take a tension rod and hang the scarves on the rod. I hang my scarves across the rod, loving the convenience of being able to see what I have and what matches different clothing combinations. -- Paula, Wisconsin D.I.Y. CHALKBOARD. The tip about chalkboard paint on plywood was a good one. I recommend getting precut pieces of MDF (medium-density fiberboard). You can get thin pieces and in various sizes. MDF is harder, smoother and cheaper than plywood. - - Ed, Florida Pesticide certified applicator training The Tehama County Department of Agriculture will be holding a continuing education training for certified applicators from 9-11 a.m. on Dec. 13.
