TODAY'S TIP(s): HOUSEHOLD Department
White Out (2)
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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

{{{ TODAY'S GRIPE(s) }}}
Hi Tim,
Welcome back! You've been very much missed! Hope your fingers are
doing better now and will continue to get better for you without having
to have surgery.
My Gripe is for all of those yard sale people who "forget" to remove
their garage sale signs after the sale is over. I love going to garage
sales and can be found on a Saturday/Sunday driving around town looking
for those signs advertising their garage sale. I don't know about you
but when I notice a sign I usually only have a few seconds to look since
I have to keep my eyes on the road. Most of the signs just say "Yard
Sale, Garage Sale on Saturday/Sunday" with an arrow indicating to turn
down the street. Sometimes a date will be on there but it's not always
easy to see. I can't tell you how many times I've followed signs down
many streets to not find any sale at all. Going back to look at the
sign in smaller print is the dates (sometimes) which can in some
instances be months back.
If you are going to have a garage sale please be courteous and "remove"
the signs (yes, all of them) after the event is over so people aren't
wasting their time chasing down sales that are no longer there. These
are also an eye sore and are what I consider "littering the landscape"
Perhaps some of guilty parties are lucky they didn't list their address
on the sign as they might find the sign glued to their front door as a
reminder to remove the sign after the sale is over!!!

Tim says: now THERE'S an original gripe!
- - - - -
Also, I agree with Pete in NYC who says: "I hate it when most of the
stations shrink, distort or speed up the closing credits, just so they
can do more advertising..."
I don't like this either.
I also look for who played what part and this has been completely taken
away with this method. I also like to listen to the music that's played
at the end of movies. The credits are an important part of the movie
and should be able to be viewed in it's entirety! I'm surprised the
movie companies and actors haven't complained about this practice.
--also submitted by Jackie in NJ
Tim says: which kinda-sorta brings up a recent gripe of mine: Starting
in May, Pay-for-View movie programming (on cable and satellite
providers) will henceforth automatically be permanently ERASED from your
Tivo-HD-TV recorders after being "active" for 24 hours only. Which
means, if you pay for and record a favorite movie, and don't watch it
within 24 hours, Zip-ZANG – Big Brother ERASES it. I very RARELY watch a
recorded PPV within 24 hours. In fact, the point is, to be able to watch
it WHEN I WANT to. Very nasty stuff, indeed. The HBO, ShowTime, etc.,
channels are going to LOVE this! In my opinion.
I have come up with a poem that succinctly expresses my above gripe in
as few words as possible:
Screw
Pay Per View!
Poo-Poop-Pee do!

TODAY'S JOKE
At a dinner party, one of the guests, an obnoxiously loud young man,
tried to make clever remarks about everyone and everything.
When he was served a piece of meat, he picked it up with his fork, held
it up and smirked: "Is this pig?"
Another guest, sitting opposite, asked quietly: "Which end of the fork
are you referring to?"
