Broken glass:Use dry cotton balls to pick up little pieces of broken glass,the fibres catch ones you can't see!
If you purchase a new bike for your child,place a photograph of them inside the handlebar before puting on the handgrips.If the bike is stolen,and there is a dispute,simply remove handgrip,bingo!
Good-Bye fruit flies:To get rid of fruit flies,take a small glass,half fill it with cider vinegar,and two drops of dishwashing liquid,mix it well.You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
Bed sheets:After drying sheets,put both sheets and one pillow case in the remaing pillows case.fold neatly in a square.Next time you change sheets,just take the one pillow case,and all the rest will be inside.
Measuring cups:Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup,fill it with hot water.Dump the water out,but don't dry the cup.next add your ingredient,peanut butter,honey etc,and watch how easily it comes out.

Thanks for the hints, ganda.
The one that I like the most is the BED SHEETS/Pillow case one. That's a very good idea. Because although we try to arrange the piles by size of bed (for the twin/full size, etc.) But they get so jumbled, adn you have to search all over for matching sheets.
The fly one, I'd feel too bad to lour them over to die. I'd much rather a repellent keeping them away, and not killing them. ;o)
