Oct. 13, 2007 - Bounce this Along...

A friend of mine from Georgia sent me this she says it really works.

My mail carrier told me that the US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away. I Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside.
It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you.

1. All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer! 
It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.
 
2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or
 cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle. 
 
3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that
 don't get opened too often.
 
4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a
 belt loop when outdoors during mosqui to season. 
 
5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or
 computer) screen.
 
6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling,
 wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to 
keep dust from resettling.
 
7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.
 
8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual
 sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet. 
 
9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.
 
10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle
 through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.

11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of
 Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.
 
12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
 
13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan. 
 
14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
 
15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of
 Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs. 
 
16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe
 the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.

17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used 
sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
 
18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual
 sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.

19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.
 
20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet! In their back pocket to keep the bees away.
 
21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before
 folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

Till next time,

That's a great tip about repelling insects. I'll have to try that next spring. Be careful doing all those other things with it, though. If you're going to dust or handle it, put on gloves. The chemicals in the bounce will cause havok in your body. Dryer sheets also tear up your dryer, not to mention putting all the chemicals into your clothes, which rub on your skin. I only dry with dryer sheets occasionally in the winter-and never on my sheets or towels. I'll give the insect repellent a shot, though!!
You had mentioned wanting to buy a yearbook. They are in now. I will have some today at baseball, but that's the last scheduled pick up for now. I will probably schedule another one, so watch for the dates. I may send a few to mom's night out this month, too.
