Creamy Honey

Storing creamy honey in a cupboard above the stove is unwise, if you 1. use your stove, and 2. want your creamy, whipped honey to remain in a creamy, whipped state. 

Secondly, microwaving honey is never good for anyone. Use warm water. 


Speaking of accidents, it's important to know that when pickling cucumbers, not to let any vinegar mixed with mustard seed touch your kitchen counter. Apparently it's a permanent yellow stain. Unless it first leaks through a blue towel; then it's a permanent blue stain. 

Third, spraying spider spray along the floor where the sun constantly shines through the sliding glass window-door onto your white linoleum floor, could lead to a permanently DARK yellow stain. 

Forth, having a hand-me-down clothes dryer that can't do "low heat" (vs. high heat and no heat) can lead to permanent stains and problems with your clothes. Always check to see if your second-hand dryer is capable for functioning properly. 

Caulking the handle that's constantly falling off the toilet leads to more problems when you need to replace anything attached to that handle. 

Consider the other side of the wall before drilling a hole in your shower to fix the handles. 

These are just a few things I'm grateful to have learned before I ruined something important. (I'm not saying I learned all of these the hard way; I did not. Just the honey ones, the pickling ones, and the clothes dryer - I got lucky.)
