I’m writing this from Lloyd’s iPhone so this will be short. 8 words: don’t order a one star hotel on priceline. Full story and photos when we get home on Tuesday. While you’re waiting, why not share a handy household tip?

where our wasted time becomes your wasted time
How about don’t order a one star hotel period. Sorry, Lauren & Lloyd. No fun at all.
Is your kitchen short of counter space? Use your wall space–shelves, grids, hangy things of all types can clear your counters.
You took my helpful hint! 😉
Ohhhh… I was really trying to think of something free, but unfortunately, I always turn to stores. Too lazy, I guess.
Regular Zest soap (the bar soap variety) will get grease/oil/butter stains out of clothing. Keep a bar under your kitchen sink, or next to your utility sink by the washer. It’s handy.
This sounds great because I strongly dislike grease stains on my teaching clothes. Do you just rub it on? Does it need to sit awhile?
Just rub it on. Enough to leave a layer of soap over the stain…then throw it in the washer. Or if it’s especially bad, rinse it out and put more Zest on, then wash it. Done. 😀
If you have rabbits eating your garden plants, you can easily get them out with a shovel.

FTFY
You’d think I’d have at least one ….. ???
Clean as you go.
I don’t like this one at all, even though it is probably the best one.
I am leisure-deprived!
Or don’t clean. Ever. (Like that better, Curt?)
Hey – that’s MY hint!!!
If you raise your dryer a couple feet off the floor it saves your back from bending over all the time. (We ‘Sam’ built a simple box out of plywood.)
“So you say you have a hard time cleaning your pots and pans?” Use an engine degreaser, it works wonders. If that doesn’t work, use steel wool.
Engine degreaser?
Note to self: Do not eat things cooked on the stove at Curt’s house.
How long did it take you to type that?! lol… I am no good at texting. Maybe it’s just people over 30?
household tip: to get rid of hard water stains on your kitchen taps – wrap a few old face clothes around your taps, pour over pure vinegar until soaking wet. Let sit for a few hours. Wipe down sink area with wet face clothes … Voila! Stainless steel has no more hard water stains.. and you didn’t have to use a muscle. 🙂
Hey!! What happened to my hint? Am I stuck in moderation?
Mine was – don’t clean your glasses with tissues with lotion in them, like Puffs plus, unless you like streaky lenses.
