Silly or serious?
Use ice-cubes to lift out indentations made by furniture on your carpets.
Prevent soil from escaping through the holes in the base of flowerpots by lining with large coffee filters.
To prevent your eyes from watering while chopping onions, wipe the chopping board with white vinegar (which won’t affect the taste of the onions)
Add half a teaspoon of baking soda to the water when hard-boiling eggs to make the shells incredibly easy to peel off.

Congratulations to the Crown Point Fire Rescue Department. Your search-and-rescue fire dog Jake and his handler, firefighter/paramedic Ryan Cusack, have passed their certification. They are there to make us all safer.
