Home Tips ■
CHECK IT OUT—I always carry a
blank check from my checkbook in my
wallet in case I ever go to the grocery
store and forget my checkbook or don’t
have enough cash to pay for the items I
have purchased. This has come in handy
many times.
Os course, I must remember when I
get home to be sure and record the
check in the book and to put another
blank one in my wallet.
Also, when I write checks for any
thing that is tax-deductible, such as
medical expenses or contributions, I cir
cle that check description and amount in
the checkbook ledger with a colored
highlight pen.
Then when tax time comes, I always
scan my checkbook records for any
check deductions that I may have for
gotten to include. Linda G.,

HELPING HANDS As a senior
citizen, I am constantly trying to find
better ways for these tired hands to have
help in opening, stirring and holding
onto things.
I thought some of your readers would
like to know about a stirring stick that I
use with my juices, soups, teas and in
cooking vegetables and some stir-fry
meats. *
I use chopsticks that I get when I go
to a Chinese restaurant I especially like
the thick, square-top ones. I can put
them in the dishwasher on the top shelf
and use them over and over. Ellen 1,

that is very useful is webbing that is
used to keep throw rugs from slipping. I
use it to keep things from slipping and
sliding about when the vehicle is in
motion.
I lack strength in my hands and one
day, I picked up a strip of it and wrapped
it around a tight jar lid and it turned right
away.
I keep strips here and there where I
am likely to encounter stubborn jar lids.
It saves a lot of time and straggle and is
better than rubber gloves. Deanna F.,

Q. I am wondering where I can get
some information on preserving the tops
of our aides and other furniture. After a
while, some tops don’t look nice after
polishing. Can you suggest any product
that may help?
A. It’s been known for years that
keeping wood furniture clean should
require a minimum of care. However,
oils and lacquer finishes used on furni
ture protect the wood by sealing it
Some experts also suggest that the orig

such as wax, to seal it And it has been
well known that excessive amounts of a
wax buildup can mask its grain, making
the surface gummy and sticky.
If you are experiencing the above
problems with your table tops, furniture,
etc., you probably have a large buildup
of wax. A sticky surface will be a mag
net for dust and your fingerprints will
show when touching the wood. Os
course, cleaning up this mess will
demand a lot of elbow grease. Any good
commercial furniture wax stripper
should remove the years of buildup on
the surface. Once the surface is com
pletely stripped of wax, you’ll need to
protect the finish. Generally, most furni
ture does not benefit from waxing due to
its surface being sealed at the factory.
This seal also prevents the wood from
rotting and drying out
After your furniture is clean, you can
purchase a variety of good cleaners and
polishes to protect the finish. Very few
will contain wax because they are gen
erally oil-based products.
Q. I have loathsome centipedes in my
basement that sometimes come upstairs.
I also have three drains phis a fireplace
in the basement. Is there anything I can
do to keep them from coming in the
house?
A. One safe household remedy is to
try using baking soda around the drains
in your basement and also the fireplace.
Also use a dehumidifier to keep the air
drier and make sure that the basement
walls are dry. If your pest problems
becomes more severe, contact your
local exterminator
