Got any to share?

For instance, I recently discovered that contact solution doubles nicely as eyemakeup remover. It takes mascara right off and won't sting your eyes.

I guess we shouldn't be listening to you, then. :-P Give the midgets the jumpsuits! Don't discriminate against a little person's right to wear clothing that nobody should wear.

If you have curly hair, never drive in a convertible with the top down while it's still wet. You'll get a huge afro... I know from experience lol.

I had an ostrich for a roommate. Great for dusting high shelves, but NEVER EVER did her own dishes. That was a long 5 years, let me tell ya.

Mint anything gets rid of nasuea.

Also if you feel ill if you drink Classic Coca Cola and eat french fries that's supposed to help as well. It has something to do with the syrup in the soda and the oil on the fries that help coat your stomach and make you feel better.

Instead of buying your cat lots of cat toys that cost lots of money (like I did!), try throwing one of the twist ties, from a loaf of bread, on the floor. My cat plays for hours with them, or until she bats it under the refrigerator.

Oh, how true, Rath!
The last cat I had, may he rest in peace, used to pull the straw OUT of any cup you left it in, and start batting it around. HIlarious!
