"Gumption" Paste Cleanser for ShowerI had some very intractable marks on the window that forms part of the shower in the bathroom (it's very private here!). These seemed to be marks and residue left by water evaporating to leave the calcium and magnesium salts behind, rather than soap scum from the shower.

Kitschy Vintage DecorationsI save the tins with cute, vintage looking graphics after cleaning out my cupboards to make desk sets and refrigerator magnets! After cleaning them out, I can either add a strip of magnetic tape to the back of them to hold my roll of stamps, pens and post-it notes or just place them on my writing desk. The tins would make a cute gift too, perhaps for Mothers Day.

Remember WW Points EatenI'm a member of Weight Watcher's where we track our daily points consumed for the day. Sometimes with the best of intentions we'll eat something and it won't be a convenient time to write it down and then we'll forget and our daily point consumption won't be accurate.

Raise Head of Bed for Acid Reflux (GERD)To relieve acid reflux at night, use adjustable bed risers at head of bed only and elevate accordingly. This beats having to pay for expensive wedge pillows that do not always help many GERD sufferers who find them uncomfortable or buying that special adjustable metal bed frame and you don't have to replace the present mattress or box springs. I paid $15.00 on amazon.com for the sturdy three adjustment bed risers and when you buy $35.00 worth of items, you get free shipping. Most importantly, the bed risers really help to put the whole head of bed at same height and your spouse is benefiting from it too.

Buying Non-MSG Seasonings and Broth?Migraines are making me scared to move these days. Does anyone know where I could purchase non-MSG seasonings and broths?
