| | Relationship Tip of the Month:
Playing to lose is sometimes good strategy
It's dumb to whip your boss in golf or tennis all the time - goodbye promotions! Make sure your spouse wins her share of arguments, too.
See more Relationship Tips here. _____________ Cleaning Quickie of the Month:
Instant loofa in a pinch Keep a small sponge in your soap dish, under the soap, to eliminate soap scum running down the shower wall. If it's a ScotchBrite sponge you can use the scrubby side as a loofah that's already infused with soap. Works great!

Do Not Blot!!!
|
The first rule on stains, "treat them as soon as possible," has one exception: when it bears a striking resemblance to the BVM. It happened to C.L.A.M. author Tom McNulty last Sunday morning with black coffee. Rather than grabbing a bottle of Resolve and some rags, as he'd usually do, he called a local TV station, then his priest.
If this happens to you, DON'T try to blot the stain up. You might have a real nice religious miracle on your hands, and people will probably travel from afar to pay $5 or $10 to see the stain, plus more for souvenirs.
