You can divide and store ground meat in a zip loc bag. Just break off how much you need and keep the rest in the freezer for later. So much easier than dividing and individually wrapping each pound or half pound. -

If you place a wooden spoon over a pot of boiling water, it won't boil over. -

If a paint can is only part used, inflate a baloon, and put it in the can with the paint, to help keep it from drying out. OR, for those who have a propane torch handy, run the torch unlit into the paint can for a few seconds. This displaces the oxygen, and prevents the paint from drying out. I havent tried this myself, but have a few friends that swear this works.

Knowing my luck I would forget I loaded the paint can with propane and the next time I used it I would be smoking, thereby painting myself and everything in the general area all at once.:rofl:

Here's a tip for the arachnophobes. You dont need a special bug killer for spiders. Use Hornet or Wasp killer. That way, you can remain a safe distance away. :) For those NOT afraid of spiders, but want to give them a "taste of their own medicine" (the spiders, not the arachnophobes), Use a quality spray adhesive, for example 3M Super 90, and spray the little bastards with that, and enjoy knowing they will be forever glued to their webs, and serve as the "Head on a Stick" for future 8 legged terrorists.

Hair spray, perfume, also works. (happened to be the only thing in my hand at the time)

I only kill black widows. I'm pretty ok with the rest.

Jeez. No I did not, but wow!

Here's one. Prevent your bathroom mirror steaming up for weeks at a time by rubbing fairy liquid (hand dish-washing detergent) "into" it until it becomes clear and smudge free.
