Here is one I'm not sure many know
When you are sick to you stomach drink Gatorade I'm not sure whats in it but it tend to make you feel better quick. And for kids Gatorade pretty much works in place of Pidilite (my children Dr told us about that years ago) |

I keep a spray bottle of white vinegar in my kitchen. Among its many uses:
- Non-toxic cleaner for small spills, - Quick de-glazer for cooking, - Fire extinguisher, - Cat control (usually needed just once in a lifetime per cat), - Spray a little on leftovers prior to refrigeration to retard spoilage. |

You can shoot corrosive ammo without any worry whatsoever if you take a bottle of Windex to the range. After shooting, just spray down the inside of the barrel really good with the windex, run a patch through it, spray again (spray VERY heavily) and take the rifle home. The ammonia neutralizes the corrosive salts and makes cleaning much easier.
To really clean rifles after corrosive ammo, one of the cheapest effective methods is a bucket of hot soapy water...as hot as it comes out of the tap. Put the muzzle down into the bucket, and flush the hot soapy water through the bore. Hoppes was designed to help neutralize corrosive ammo and it works great, but hot water is far cheaper...finish up with the hoppes. |

Dude, you can't say that anymore. It's to handicap spoilage. |

For a good once I get home from the range: 1 part Balistol to ten parts very warm water is best then a good wipe down and a heavy blast of WD (water displacement) 40. Regular BP cleaning and lube from there. I keep a bottle of Windex with Vinegar with my black powder stuff as opposed to the ammonia based windex for a quick pre-clean and wipe down at the range. It's more so the water content in windex that cleans away the salts, the vinegar helps neutralize them but ammonia doesn't do much. It's not so much as "corrosive" as you would think but rather the salts will pull moisture from the air and that's what does the damage. |

If you got a flashlight or a radio, etc. with dead alkaline batteries, you can take them out and smash them on concrete or pavement, without deforming them. Put them back into the device. This will give you another 5 minutes of runtime. This means alkaline aa, c, d size. The electrolyte inside gets going and a few minutes can be critical.
If you got a flashlight that uses those fancy 123 cells, or even cr2, lithiums, if you need a source of fire to light a campfire and you are low on matches or cigarette lighters, put a depleted 123 cell on a hard surface and smash it with a rock a few times. It will burn a spectacular fire for a few minutes you can feed wood to build a bigger fire. The smoke is absolutely toxic, you dont want to breathe in hydrochloric acid but the flame has a beautiful tint to it. |

I used to scrub out my SKS with Dawn dishwashing liquid, rinse the action in the shower, pat dry, followed by WD-40 then CLP. It's still spotless. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

It's also good for getting stubborn odors out of athletic clothing (nylon/spandex/polyester type stuff. It retains bacteria even after normal washing cycles) |
| Best little trick I learned years ago from an old man. You know those storm doors that you can't get the hold open mechanism to hold and it just slides back closed? Stick a penny between the cylinder and the little metal sliding piece. Works 90% of the time. Being a carpet cleaner this trick has helped me 100's of times. Especially since almost no big heavy security storm doors will stay open without doing this. |

Stainless steel, a little bit of soap, and water will remove the smell of garlic from your hands.
Use a steel spoon or dull knife, rub your hands of them with a bit of soap under running water and the stink is gone. It has something to do with magnets, science, or aliens. Whatever. It works. |

Works for fish smell also. They actually sell what is basically a stainless steel bar of soap. |

Yo, so check out my new move. I call it "the Stranger." What I do is, I sit on my hand for, like, 15, 20 minutes, until it goes numb. No feeling at all. And then I rub one out. Chop a ghost pepper first If you want to spice up your marriage and can stand the heat, this is guaranteed to get a reaction. |

When assembling drum brakes and your trying to get return spring back in its home use a ratchet strap. Loop it around the brake shoes and squeeze those bastards together and you can get the springs in with minimal fighting. I don't know if this is common knowledge but when I figured it out on my own I felt like a genius.
If you break a qtip head of in your gas key like a dumb boot get a screw with a smaller diameter than the hole in the gas key. Using gentle pressure thread it into the cotton of the qtip until it gets a grip and pull it out. If your wife likes to shop at IKEA get bunch of the big blue tarp material bags. I leave a couple in my truck for getting groceries which allow me to carry $150 worth of groceries in one trip. |

quick easy stuff
empty your wallet contents onto your xerox machine, copy on 12 x 18 paper, put paper in safe - if wallet is ever lost you know exactly what your missing and can cancel everything quickly. alarm system motion detectors and big dogs, mount them in rooms you can close the doors on (gun room) - an alarm system should have at least a couple motion sensors but many people with big dogs go without. Old cell phone - still use the alarm clock as a back up to the main alarm clock blueberries - dogs frickin love them, they are also easy to stick a small pill into like benedryl for dogs with allergies old t shirts - cut down into custom bore diameter pieces to clean your guns shut the water off to your house before going on vacation rubbing alcohol to clean hard to reach places in your gun - it dissipates quickly hanging a picture with no nail use VHB tape add shot of silicone if going for permanent roll up some masking tape / or small piece of vhb tape and place on back of frame of picture that won't stay straight. to even the score with your wife, wait until the last five minutes of her hallmark movie and ask her a question or tell her what you had for lunch. get audio books of the new testament narrated by James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman, learning about God through the voice of Darth Vader or Red will keep you listening. |

Dont flush tampons, even if you are on the pill. The plumber he said, yesterday afternoon.... NEVER flush a tam-poon. OK really. If you have to jump a truck, or anything with a metal bumper, but only have one cable (I don't know, maybe stripped out of a crack-house or something), make contact between BOTH cars' bumpers for the ground, then connect the one positive cable you got. Thank me later. |

For the OP, "sick to stomach" the treatment is Ginger-ale. Oddly enough, warm and flat.
Cool and fizzy WILL work, just not as good. My daughter called me with a complaint of upset stomach, I told her Ginger-ale. And pop-corn with nothing on it. NOTHING ON IT. I had to say it twice, no butter, cheese, garlic, salt, oil (air popped if you can), nothing. |

Pressing your finger straight into your face right above your upper lip also will help leg cramps. Push hard enough that it is almost uncomfortable for 30 seconds or so.
When you're sleepy, tickling the roof of your mouth with your tongue will temporarily revive you. Ronsonol/Zippo fluid will remove almost any grease stain from almost any article of clothing. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Wet the stain down with it, then dab until dry. Lids from cans of mixed nuts fit tightly on top of McDonald's (and others') large foam cups in place of the flimsy original lids. Cut an X in the top with a knife to insert a straw and you have a very effective semi-permanent container that will keep icy drinks cold for hours but can be disposed of when you're finished with it. I keep ice water on the nightstand in one and it stays cold all night long. Roll cold bottles or cans of water or other beverages up in an ordinary bath towel. Tuck the ends in as you roll. They will stay cold for hours without a cooler. |
