TODAY'S TIP(s): HOUSEHOLD Department
White Out
Tim says: once upon a time, a long, long time ago, I asked TDJ readers
how they used "White Out" and/or "Liquid Paper" around the house. Ta dah
-- here are the responses.
I use white out to touch up paint on the corners of my wall, Just a dab
and no one notices those little nicks made when moving furniture, etc.
Also works for stove and fridge.

I use my white out pen to delete phone 's and addresses in my personal
phone book as people are forever moving, getting transferred, etc. My
book is ancient but never seem to have enough time to sit down and make
out a new one. This way I can just write over old #'s.

Before I replaced them, I had some chips in my white bathroom sinks that
were rusting. I had tried the commercial paint stuff made for that
purpose, but it was unsuccessful. I remembered how hard it was to get
White Out off my fingers, so tried it on my sinks. Worked great.

I had a round nick in my enamel bathtub, it was getting bigger as time
went on. So I took my handy dandy white out and I painted it in and
presto it looks like new. And it repaint it every few months so it
stays white.

I use white out to cover small scratches or dents on my fridge, stove or
any other white appliances. I’ve also used it on my washing machine on
the inside where some rust had come up, and then covered the white out
with clear nail polish. It’s been there for quite some time now.

I purchased a white, floor-model bathroom vanity recently, which had
scuff and other marks and chipped paint. Although few in number, and
small in size, they were noticeable especially on a “new” installment.
But the price was RIGHT. I used white-out I had on hand to restore the
vanity to its former grandeur. They are all but invisible.

I have used white out to touch up finger nails on a French manicure.

My most unique use of White-out (water based) was to dye my beard,
mustache and eye brows when I played Santa Claus.

{{{ TODAY'S GRIPE }}}
My gripe is some to the small pop-up ads that the pop-up blocker doesn't
stop. Then you go to close them you can't find the shutdown button.
And if you hit the wrong one, you immediately starting getting junk mail
from them. And junk mail opt-out link give you a message that it will
take up to 10 days for them to stop sending you emails. It only took
them 40 seconds to get you on their list!! Or some of the opt-out links
don't work. And you wind up battling junk emails for the next three
months!
--submitted by Larrie
Tim says: and a main gripe of mine are the obnoxious, animated "pop-up"
teaser-ads television networks play at the bottom of a screen while you
are watching a program. Makes me want to jump up and scream.

TODAY'S BLONDE JOKE
A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day.
The Russian said, "We were the first in SPACE!"
The American said, "We were the first on the MOON!"
"So what?" exclaimed the blonde. "We blondes are going to be the first
on the SUN!"
The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads
and started to laugh. "You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn
up!" said the Russian.
"Yeah," said the American. "You blondes are all idiots!"
"Whoo-Hoo!" shamed the blonde. "We're not STUPID, you know -- we're
going at NIGHT!"

A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her turn. She
rolled the dice and she landed on Science & Nature. Her question was,
"If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your name, can you hear it?"
She thought for a long time and then asked, "Is the vacuum on or off?"
