I see a lot of cars with a taillight or brake light out, which can create safety hazards. I have no way to contact the drivers and tell them this, and I suspect that they don’t know of it.
So, I suggest that drivers check their taillights regularly, picking dates like when the time changes or when they check their fire alarms twice a year.
Shirley, without knowing it, my taillight had gone out, but a kind lady told me about it. If she hadn’t, I could have very easily gotten a nasty fine for my negligence. -- HeloiseThe little silica packets are useful for many things. I use them in any product with a shaker to keep the product from clumping. It works great, even in products that are already clumped up! -- Priscilla W., via email
Someone needs to make something that can fit under a bathroom or kitchen sink and hold about 1 quart of water. This water would be constantly kept at room temperature, say 70 degrees Fahrenheit. This way, you can wash your hands immediately when you turn on the faucet. If you want cold water instead, you could just turn the faucet to cold. If you want hot water, turn it to hot.
