Where irony and creativity meet...

"only sharp thing in the glove box"

If you've seen this then you know from whom I so shamelessly have stolen it.  But I had to share it with those of you who read this demented blog and thus may appreciate.  

Seattle has had a cold snap.  Not bad mind you, really more annoying than anything else.  With the below freezing mornings comes the ice.  And for those of us not having garrets for our cars, carraige houses, or servants to assist us in the morning as in Downton Abbey, we scrape the ice from the window ourselves.

Not belonging to the NRA and therefore not having a 30 round metal ammo clip handy or an ice scraper, my friend used the end of her tanning lotion tube.  Creative - and ironic.  

I should have asked her permission to use this, but I did write back with some remembered 'Hints from Heloise - Seattle edition'  -  Tanning lotion is also good at removing mold.  

This is a must for Seattle-ites.  A tube of tanning lotion can last up to 15 years, which outlasts any need for it here.  (well, I suppose unless you want to rid your arms of slime and mold in the summer)


It's always something...
