I didn’t like all of the ideas though. Because of this, I chose not to show some of them simply because I thought they were lame, or didn’t apply so well…creative editing license. Yeah, it’s what I do.
I left in the links to the original webpages so you could head over to them should you wish to do so.
If not, I won’t be offended. These are simply ideas…and none of them are mine.
After all, I didn’t write this post.

You know, some of these are actually brilliant!! Funny thing is I already have some of these pinned on boards over on pinterest. The problem for me is remembering any of these when/if the time comes....... Like hulling strawberries. I might forget to go and get a straw and poke a hole in it before yanking off the stem and popping it into my mouth! Especially if it is dipped in chocolate.... ;D
THese are awesome!!! Love it!!
I will have to try the rubberband on an apple and see if it really works... and I've seen the tension rod one before, but the space under my sink is far too long for one right now (bummer!) I could have certainly used the aloe hint the other day... and I will definitely start saving the bread tags because I love that one.
I don't know if you remember, but we had the cone cupcakes once when we were in elementary school and I remember as a kid thinking it was the coolest thing ever... and then forgot all about it with the progression of time.
Thanks for sharing these!
I have seen a few of these but others I had not. All are great ideas! I'm going to book mark this.
Ok, the tension rod for the spray bottles made me say "Awesome!" out loud!
Thanks for the tips. =)
also, did u know if u don't have spackle for filling in those nail holes in the wall u can use TOOTHPASTE... hair spray takes out ink on clothes...
one time a lizard got on a glue trap for mice.. well, we took vegetable oil and dribbled it on the lizard and he was able to get off the sticky death trap,.
That was the best post you didn't write! Great tips here. Now I'm off to find some bread tags and rubber bands.
I'd heard of some of these before, but the rest? Genius! Thanks. For not writing this post.
WOW! The bread tags are the perfect answer to a major headache!! Also the walnut. Can't wait to try these. I'm a seasoned ice cream cupcake maker. Love them.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing!
The strawberries, the apple and the walnut are my faves. Brilliant!
Love it. I shared it with my mom and sisters!
Someone sent me the same e-mail. I too loved them however I know myself and will not be using them. Not that they weren't great, I'm just that lazy to remember to use them when the time comes.....
Love these. So much, I forwarded them on to my mother. We both thank you!
