What to do About Armpit Odor?
Vinegar, alcohol or hand sanitizer for temporary relief, but you MUST wash/shower DAILY. Bacteria causes the odor; may be hormonal, but it grows in warm, dark, moist areas so is hard to treat. Sometimes, directly out of the shower I would STILL have an odor...

Using Hygienic Stick Flossers
Whos going to go that trouble? These are a convenience item, portable and handy. I use these while driving, in bed at night, etc., NOT while standing over a sink. If theres plaque on one tooth, its going to get to the other teeth anyway.

Erasing Personal Information from a Shared Computer?

Scratched Mirror?
Im new here & dont know if we can just throw out ideas without knowing for sure whether they work, but long ago I heard of something for glass scratches, like car wax maybe? It was something that would fill in & dry to a sort of a neutral color to make it blend...

Recycle Powdered Makeup
I had no idea about this & LOVE this tip! Thanks! And 20ml is quite a bit, isnt it? Like a small size of roll-on perfume oil, so I assume in order for it to be fatal, it would have to be absorbed all at once...(?)

Mapping My Garage Sale Route?
Youve already gotten the best answers, but what I did was circle them in the classified ads with a big marker then just put numbers, 1 - 15 beside them in the order I wanted. (I live in a small town, so I didnt really need a map, per se), just an efficient...
