The winner: Put a list of your medications and dosages on your computer. When you have a doctor’s appointment or are going to a new doctor, just print the list and take it with you. You can easily adjust your list as medications changes. You could also make a list of surgeries (with dates) you’ve had. If you’ve been ill and are juggling a lot of information, this can be handy.

Protect floor with dry cleaner bags

Take the plastic wrap from your dry cleaning and lay it down in the back of your car or floorboard when transporting plants, mulch, pots, firewood or anything that may soil or damage the carpeted areas. Elizabeth J. Ziegler, Charlotte

Better way to clean shower doors

Both our baths have fiberglass units. I found the most effective method to keep them in top shape: use fiberglass boat cleaner and wax. Easy, no spotting and it lasts.
