By the end of the week, we have many Charlotte Observer bags, so we take the four or five bags that we have collected and fill each one with air, leaving enough room to tie the ends of each bag together. Once the air-filled bags are connected, we can use these to ship materials that need securing in boxes. Ann Ittoop, The Lyerly Agency, Belmont

Our bathroom door was squeaking loudly and I realized we were out of WD-40. No problem. I used lemon-scented dusting spray. It worked great, and smells nice too! Judy Turner, Charlotte
