RE: Getting Onion Smell Off Hands
Used coffee grounds do the trick. Works for fish, garlic and other odors. Just scoop some into your hands and rub then rinse. ... View related article.

RE: Hemming the Neck of a T-shirt
I do this to all my T's. Cut the neckline ribbing off close to the stitching. Since the fabric is very stretchy, run a line of small stitches around the neckline about 1/8 inch from the edge to stabilize. You could also overcast the edge if you deem it necessary. Last step is to turn the cut edge 1/4 - 3/8 inches to the inside and run a line of stitches around the whole neckline. This results in a nice sized neckline but can be lowered by cutting deeper in the front. Be careful, don't go too low. BTW, the sewing can be done on machine or by hand, just don't stretch! Enjoy! ... View related article.

RE: Relieving Itching From Yellow Jacket Stings
Thanks for your responses... I do not drive... A neighbor went out to get me some meat tenderizer but could not find the kind with papain in it...we are still looking... will give calamine lotion a try...
I have tried Benadryl, Bactine Anteiseptic Anesthetic, Sheffield's Ban Itch, CVS Itch Relief Gel, Cortizone Cream, cool water, ice (which hurts) and a hospital strength spray which is supposed to relieve itch... none work more than a few minutes and then the itching starts slowly and works up to a crescendo. I have these bites on my knees, arms, backs of my hands and various assorted other places. The thought of another week of this is terrible, but I guess I will survive. I just hope this will not make me more sensitive if I am bitten again. TG my face was spared.

Editor's Note: Making a paste of baking soda works, too. Be careful about putting too many different chemicals on them and make sure the stingers are out. ... View related article.
