What hacks do you do?

For dishes, etc. that are washed by hand rather than in the dishwasher, I dilute the dish soap.  People seem to like to use a big squirt of dish soap, even though a few drops is all you really need.  What’s the fun of a few drops when you can make a big squirt?

 

that $1.59 bottle of detergent is crippling you financially?

Two questions, if you don't mind.

 

Who's chest do you keep by the front door?

 

What can you tell us about food processors?

 

I have a “blended” answer for you......I have a new Dolly Parton’s chest size food processor. That’s what happens when you add a vegetarian (and their vegetarian family) to your family. This thing dices too! How exciting is THAT

You drank Chardonnay during BillsMafia Nashville take over.   You don’t drink something that comes in a glass with a stem on football weekend...right @Augie!? 

 

Ummmmm, a solo could would do?

It was Sauvignon Blanc.....AND I think I remember Boyst giving me some of his beer. 

I took what I could get at that crap-factory restaurant that you chose! I'd still be waiting for service had I not been vocal.

 

I was wondering what you did to offend those fine people! The rest of us had drinks. I should have offended them the way you did about half way thru so they’d have essentially cut me off!

I didn't pick that place, we just knew Augie was there.  I wanted to ride a mechanical bull somewhere but it never happened.  Maybe if the Titans with the division and our WC game is there...I can have that option again.

 

And you are welcome!

Only if it's a red solo cup.  Actually...do they come in any other color?

Sorry, maybe off topic a bit, but we went to Hilton Head this summer and Publix there has gotten rid of the plastic grocery bags. They have gone to paper or your reusable. Now I have to buy their poop bags for my dog!!!  THAT is my hack, grocery bags for poop bags! What kind of Lysol container do you stick them in? We just shove a bunch of bags into one bag under the kitchen sink, then a working supply in chest by the front door.

 

Try plastic bread bags or produce bags.  I find the grocery bags big and bulky, and to often have little holes on the seams (yucckh).  You may not collect enough bread or produce bags on your own, but if you put out the APB with the neighbors, you get extra recycling Karma Points.

Right, I use stemless wine glasses.

 

Actually (see other post) I must drink tea from now on until the Bills lose again.

I will willingly drink tea every Sunday until February if need be 'cuz I'm That Kind of Fan.

No.  It’s the principle of the thing.  It allows me to squirt without guilt. It also reduces the number of times that we might run out and not have a replacement.  We aren’t organized enough to always have another bottle ready to go, and I am too lazy to be running out to the store in between major trips.

Extend the life of your razor blades.  Keep razor dipped in mineral oil when not in use.
