I sometimes put the screw driver into the slot and give it a good whack with a hammer...works more often than not. Friends had a menagerie and parquet flooring( four cats and a St Bernard). They went on holiday and put the animals in kennels. A month later they returned home in the company of other friends. The he part of the other couple habitually wore shorts and sandals. On entering the house he was seen to magically acquire a pair of moving socks!!!! A heat gun for old screws!!!!!

I'm sure all of your readers have a soldering iron handy in their home. You never know when your going to get a stubborn screw. I don't mind sharing beer with my dog as long as he shares his Kibble and Bits with me.. Hmmmmm... I put a foam rubber sheet in my dog's bed and, you were right! The fleas jumped right off of Rover and right onto ME... I'm covered with the little pests. Speaking of fleas, did you hear about what one flea said to the other as they were going out one evening. "Shall we walk or take the dog?" Finally, Grannymar, how can I ever thank you for telling me about old staples from the dry Cleaner being inside my clothing? You have solved my skin problem. I have spent a fortune on creams and lotions and I still get these terrible long scratches every time I wear certain outfit I had dry cleaned about 5 years ago. Who knew about those staples until you told me? I'm never wearing those tight leotards again....Ouch! Great hints, GM. I’m sure all of your readers have a soldering iron handy in their home.
