That frozen fish will taste fresh-caught if you defrost it in milk. You'll also cut down on the fishy odor when it's cooking. Stinky smell banished! Good taste here to stay!
Most soaps will repel deer. They are made with tallow, an animal by-product. Shave off some and sprinkle in the garden near your favorite plants. The range of protection is about a yard. You'll need to avoid cocoanut oil soap (Deer like it.) and change scents from time to time. Deer will get used to a scent and ignore it.
Even if your exposed gutters are clear, your drains down the outside of your house can still back up if they are packed with debris. Work a garden hose into the drain (from the top or the bottom) and run it on high until the water flows freely. Fall and winter storms are no longer a worry!
To vacuum delicate curtains, use a clean screen from a window. The screen allows the vacuum to pick up the dirt, but it can't suck in the fabric. Job done!
