I’ve never even heard of them. We do have an overstock type store but I’ve never been in it. We also have a Marshalls and I’ve never been in it either. I’m one who calls or looks online to see if a place has what I’m after before going - not super fond of shopping.
(ETA unless it’s antiques)

I have been using the label maker and making labels for all of my electronic device cords. I print out using the small font that I can get by doing a return, and then I print it twice before I cut it off. I fold it over on the end of the cord. I am also keeping cords and some devices in a bin.

Don't keep medications in your medicine cabinet!! "But isn't it a medicine cabinet?" Yes it is, but visitors will go to the bathroom and may help themselves. Where is a better place to keep medications? I am not 100% sure about this, but my aunt and uncle keep theirs in a kitchen cabinet. This kitchen has three sides and the fourth side is open into their dining room, so visitors will be on full view if they go into the kitchen, not like the bathroom where they can go, close the door, and explore the medications.

My step dad always used his pocket knife. I've gotten to where I use whatever I have available at the moment

Glasses...sunnies, reading...really have a very fine tweezer at each hinge. Take a look...you're probably wearing your tweezers!

My neighbor is an amputee. They bought their home just a month or two before I bought mine. They had an elevator installed for her to use. When they have their annual holiday party, children are thrilled to ride it up and down. Since we both bought our homes in 1990, I'd bet it would cost so much more now than when they bought it.

My son wiring a house that over 3000 square feet & three stores, they have an elevator that moves from the ground(1st) floor to 2nd floor. It is a forklift mast that moves up like a cable elevator, with a closet frame around it for a shaft.

Put a Sheet of Aluminum Foil in Boiling Water, Even Wealthy People Do This: The Reason​

"A straightforward household hack involving a sheet of aluminum foil proves to be a remarkable solution for revitalizing old cutlery. In the aftermath of a meal, the immediate washing of dishes is often preferable to avoid a daunting pile in the sink.



While dishwasher owners may escape this chore, those relying on hand washing, for various reasons, encounter the challenge of restoring old and seemingly irreversibly tarnished cutlery.

In response to this common woe, an ingenious method emerges, utilizing the transformative power of aluminum foil. The process begins by heating water in a pot, to which a spoon of sodium bicarbonate and half a spoon of sugar are added.



Once the mixture reaches a boil, a sheet of aluminum foil is cut in half, creating four equal parts. Each segment is then rolled into a ball, and these aluminum balls are introduced into the boiling pot."...

The coffee hack(2) that melts fat is a sale pitch, once they repeat there pitch more than once without giving you the hack, t s a pitch not a hack.
If three was real, lottery would be broke by now, some person wins time after time, people would stop playing & be rioting in the street.
At least 50% are sale pitch & fake.

Experiencing technical difficulties, back after a REBOOT

I kept them in a pickle jar and have lots. They are banned here now. Sometimes hoarding pays off. The paper ones are useless.

Brought to you by the same people that replaced plastic straws wrapped in paper with paper straws wrapped in plastic. We get both the twists and the clips here.

I thought about a winch system, even priced a couple. A good idea but for my application it’s impractical. Going down the ramp a winch isn’t necessary. Going up a ramp has a bunch of issues. Usually it’s only one person helping mom or dad on the ramp. The easiest way to roll a chair up a ramp is by walking backwards and pull the chair.

Steering can be a challenge when pulling or pushing a chair up the ramp. But controlling the winch system and steering at the same time? Those little wheels on the front of a wheel chair have a mind of their own, move independently of each other. It’s even worse when the person in the chair tries to help steer by braking one big wheel or the other. Also, not to forget, it’s real easy to tip a chair over backwards.

I decided a winch would just add another layer of complexity and too much cost. Have to have some kind of remote control unit… or a track system to control chair steering. It’s simpler, safer and cheaper just to pull the chair up the ramp.

If worse comes to worse I'll use the front end loader on the tractor, pick them up and set them on the porch...

If there are sides to the ramp add a rope each side so that the person in the chair can add a small amount of help to get up the slop , will also help strengthen there arms over time , which could help them with there mobility , if not rope then side rails that the person can reach , same affect as a rope , in fact could be better than a rope as there hands can slide along
