Yellow Stains Under Arms
We have discovered the greatest thing for this bad stain. If you take 3 aspirin mix them with 1 Tbsp of cream of tartar and 1/2 glass of water, this will make kind of a paste. Rub this on the stain and let it sit for 24 hours. Then wash as normal. If you can put it in the sun for awhile it will help. Now I have tried this on my husbands white shirts. The stains are old. I have done it twice and each time they have faded a little bit more. I think by the 3rd time they will be gone, so it will depend on how long the stain has been there. If they are new one time should do it. Go ahead experiment, you will be amazed.

Unwanted Pet Hair
Put a plastic glove over your hand and rub your furniture or wherever the dog hair happens to be. Then it will not stick, you can vacuum it right off. It is amazing. No more dog hair.

Cheap Oatmeal for Breakfast Ideas
Items you will need: 3 cups oats (quick works the best), salt, sugar, 8 small zip lock bags or sandwich bags: Blend l cup of oats in a food processor or a blender on high until it is powdery. Set this aside. Then put the following into each baggie. Add 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp of the regular oatmeal, add 2 Tbsp of the flour oatmeal you have just ground. Add 1/8 tsp. salt. Add 1 Tbsp of sugar then put in your bag. When you cook it dump into a bowl and add 1/2 cup of water. Microwave for 1 minute in the microwave. Now if you like it a little more moisture in it you can add a little more water, up to 2/3 of a cup. Some fun things for you to try is as follows: Cinnamon sugar, add 1 Tbsp brown sugar and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. For raisin just add 1 Tbsp of raisin. You can add about anything that you would like wheat germ, or nuts or coffee creamer, or even dried fruit, craisins just anything you would like to add. In all of these cases just add one Tbsp of your choice. Have fun with this one. It can save yourselves a lot of money.

Sewing Threads
When sewing I find myself needing to unpick occassionally. When that happens there are always little threads that I need to clean off the fabric. I find that using a lint roller is so much easier than taking the time to pick each little thread off.

Kitchen Cabinets
I hate the dirt that seems to accumulate on Kitchen Cabinet's. So I have been trying different products to get the grim off. I finally found the answer, it is alcohol. Just take a rag and dump straight alcohol on it and rub. Be careful not to rub to hard or you may take off more than you want. But rub hard enough to get the grime off. Don't be afraid, you will find out how much to rub pretty easy.

Adding Things At The Right Time
I make a lot of soups with sour cream in them, and Parmesan cheese or other cheeses. Here is a little tid-bit where that is concerned. Make sure your soup is completely cooked before you add these ingredients. Make sure the soup or sauce is on medium and no longer needs to boil. You will not have the soup with curds in it, or little lumps. It will be perfectly smooth.

Potato's In Refrigerator
I have a problem because I often have mashed potato's left over, put them in my refrigerator and forget they are there. When I remember I find they are bad. I have found a solution to this problem if you are having the same problem. I take the potato's form them into a patty and fry them in a little butter. I put the patty in a piece of plastic wrap and wrap it up. I re-wrap it to be safe. I stick it in the freezer. When I pull it out I warm it in the microwave for about 2 minutes. The greatest potato's you will want to eat for a snack, or lunch or whatever you chose to eat it for. Great Potato's
