In lieu of anything music-related to post up with, I submit this helpful household tip I received from my mom at work re: different uses for Bounce Fabric softener sheets:
"The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow jackets away. Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. Use it working outside. It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you.
It will also:
- Chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.
- Repel mice... spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers, cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
- Take the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.
- Repel mosquitoes...tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
- Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen...since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.
- Dissolve soap scum from shower doors...clean with a sheet of Bounce.
- Freshen the air in your home...place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet or a sheet in vacuum cleaner.
- Prevent thread from tangling...run a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
- Prevent musty suitcases...place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.
- Freshen the air in your car...place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
- Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan...put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food.
- Eliminate odors in wastebaskets...place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
- Collect cat hair...rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
- Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds...wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
- Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering...a used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
- Eliminate odors in dirty laundry...place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
- Deodorize shoes or sneakers...place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight."
My sources tell me they will also lift voodoo curses, keep you from burning up upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, increase your bust size, teach you how to make millions buying and selling foreclosure properties, allow you to hear the ocean when you hold one up to your ear and give you x-ray vision if ingested properly...and that's a good thing.
