Hints From Grandpa Ned

Repurpose an old toothbrush to sweep lint off the dryer screen.  Also good for sweeping bugs into a bottle.


To disable a laptop CapsLock key, jam a bit of TP under the left end.  My problem solved!


Use a very short paring knife for most food preparation, including carving-out ice cream.


Keep a big $4 Walmart clock in its box frame to easily keep track of time in the bathroom or wherever (mobile); cover it at night to mute the tick-tock.


Choose Oreo Mini cookies to reduce sugar intake.  Same for healthy Hershey’s Miniatures - Special Dark Chocolate Assortment (recommended one a day).

(Dove dark chocolate: “Be fearlessly authentic.”)


Shop Costco at peak busy times to avoid the temptation to wait for a cheap hot dog or slice of pizza.  (Works every time for me.)  Read something inspiring while waiting for check-out.


Apartment dwellers: use Bluetooth headphone for high-volume music etc. to avoid annoying the neighbors who have sensitive hearing like mine. Save the smart speaker for the social/club room.


Slow down sometimes, read a good book, and know that God loves and guides His children. 

Be prepared.
