CerebroJD , your tip is excellent. Thank you, thank you!
I had thought of this thread last night and I am glad I did, it is really coming in handy. Funny though, it can take a bit for me to go through because I have to try everything out.
No Weaksid, although your tip is great I have not gotten around to trying it out yet.

It's not a good idea to use that toilet roll to keep folded power cables neat...if the cables are in use and are 'folded' they pose a fire hazard due to overheating...and the roll is cardboard as well....

"caffeine helps pain medication (especially for headaches)"
Sounds like something JavaBrain would have said in the old days.

tablet form denture cleaners , (like efferdent)when dropped in your porcelain toilet will get rid of hard water "rings" and rust stains.
They also work great on old tupperware to get stains out and remove the buildup of oil residue(you know those really old bowls that have a nasty sticky feeling?)
Biz bleach when mixed with equal parts white vinegar and as warm water as your colors can stand will take out sports stains,(like grass, mud etc.) formula stains (including soy based),and babyfood stains(like carrots,squash etc.)
teething gums are soothed with unopened icepops(you know the kind that you buy unfrozen sealed in plastic like "otter pops")and until the teeth pop through, you can just keep washing the outside and refreezing them.
rubbing alcohol works to keep your glasses from fogging up when you come inside from cold weather.
white toothpaste works well when polishing silver. and an old toothbrush makes a perfect scrub brush for corners and small items.(just label it so no one ever uses it again !)
a dab of colored toothpaste applied to the hanger on the back of a picture will help to mark where you should place the nail on the wall. Just place the picture where you want it and press lightly against the wall.(once the nail is in place, wipe away the toothpaste.)
if you have loose batteries in a drawer, put tape over the ends to prevent them from rubbing the positive/negative against each other or other metal objects. this can prolong the life of the battery.

*NOTE* "until the teeth pop through....".. meaning you can refreeze the icepop!... once the kids teeth surface, they tend to puncture the icepop. Thankfully the icepop is edible so no calls to poison control!

bar soap, when rubbed on a sewing needle helps it to slide through fabric easier.
bar soap also helps ease a zipper up or down on the teeth of a metal zipper
Kid got gum in hair? peanut butter helps to loosen it grip.
have an old shirt that won't make it to salvation army? save the buttons off it for emergency repairs of other clothing.
Can't sew? and can't afford new drapes? buy two nice flat sheets , run a curtain rod through the wide space at the top. Tie off with a grossgrain ribbon.
cat like to stretch on the arms of your couch? put double sided tape there. cats hate the feeling and will stop.
Bitter apple spray when applied to any surface will keep puppies from chewing there.
cloves of garlic strewn about the garden will discourage cats from using it as a litter pan
when planting roses or acid loving plants, put a piece of dead fish under the root ball.(preferably a piece with bones.)
when washing baby socks and small items of clothing, put them in a mesh bag (like the kind you get oranges in) it'll keep them from geting caught in the drain tube.

Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.
