Eternal Question

I bet this question has perplexed man for eons.

How do you stop the bottom of the shower curtain from attacking and clinging to your ankles whilst taking a shower? One of the worst feelings in the world has to be a cold wet shower curtain clinging to your legs.

Ok maybe I am going a bit far saying eons but I know it bugs me, and that is enough.

Pennies work great too at 2-3 inch intervals. Or if you do not use AOL and recieve a lot of their disks, they work great too. :)

Now for women there's a great way to have an herbal shower - herbal baths are great, but you don't always have the time, this is a great alternative - cut six inch sqaures of lace, place your favorite herbal mix in each bag (six bags usually works very well) the warm water will release the sent and it holds down the curtain. :) Men don't always find this great, but if you use snaps to attach the bags of herbs you can unsnap them and replace them with small bags of pennies or rocks.

Aren't these magnetic liners available in your parts of the world? The ones with little magnets embedded into the bottom of the curtain so it clings to the bathtub?

Or perhaps you're all using plastic tubs?

A handy household tip that most women may overlook - let the mildew and soap scum accumulate instead of scraping it off all the time... makes a pretty decent adhesive with which you can paste the shower curtain to even a non-magnetic tub. :-)

Maybe not the same atmosphere as herbal sacs, I'll grant you...

Nah, it's those plastic 5 gallon buckets we keep hearing about. You don't use them as a tub like we do? :)

Remove dust balls under beds using these three steps:

1. Wrap duct tape, sticky side out, around small dog.
2. Roll dog's favorite ball under the bed.
3. Yell, "fetch!".

* OLD telephone directories make ideal personal address books. Simply cross out the names and address of people you don't know.

* WHEN reading a book, try tearing out the pages as you read them. This saves the expense of buying a bookmark, and the pages can later be used for shopping lists.

* FOOL other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car phone by holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and occasionally swerving across the road and mounting the curb.

* DRILL a one inch diameter hole in your refrigerator door. This will allow you to check whether the light goes off when the door is closed.

* SMELL gas? Locate the suspected leak by striking an ordinary match in every room in the house until a loud explosion reveals the source of the escaping gas.

* AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windshield wipers turned to 'fast wipe' whenever you leave your car parked illegally.

* TAKE your trash can to the supermarket with you so that you can see which items you have recently run out of.

* NO TIME for a bath? Wrap yourself in masking tape and remove the dirt by simply peeling it off.

* EXPENSIVE hair gels are a con. Marmalade is a much cheaper alternative, but beware of bees in the summer.

* AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF while clumsily slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.
