Great topic for a thread @Bridge-Four - let's get this one going again!

@Spren of Kindness - I clean my glasses with dish soap too, & always shake off the rinse water, never wipe them: the key to keeping scratch-free!:)

Here's my best LPT: To always keep your keys handy and remove any risk of dropping them, put a clip like the picture below onto your keyring. The loop (on the right side of the image) goes onto your keyring, then you use the clip to secure your keys: you can hook it to your beltloop, a zipper pull, your purse or backpack or wallet, or even a wrist wrap.

This is so handy, and it's cheap and easy as well: Just buy an inexpensive keyring that has one of these clips, then transfer the clip from there to your own keyring and throw the other one away. Where I live, these are sold everywhere, like drug stores, discount stores, etc.

Hope you all find this helpful!:D

Whenever you're boiling potatoes (like to make mashed potatoes), put a bay leaf in the water while they're cooking. (You throw the bay leaf away when you dump the water out - they're big & easy to find.) I was amazed at this trick the first time I tried it - I bet you will be too. :-)

What does the bay leaf do?

It is a herb, and it adds more flavor. If you've ever had mashed potatoes at a Boston Market restaurant and wondered why they taste so good, this is why. (I never worked there, but the taste is unmistakable.) A package of bay leaves is pretty cheap - like $3? - so it's not a lot of $$ wasted if you don't like it. You can find them in the spice section of your local grocery store. Hope you give it a go! :)
