Apartment & Car Tips: Parents, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Sons & Daughters

By Patricia Britt

21St Practicalities for Home:

Everyone should know a little something about practical matters.

The best gift you can get anyone on a budget in a new apartment are Corelle unbreakable dishes. Look on line before you select a pattern from a department store so you’ll know what you have to choose from.

They run around $40.00, and will last years without routine replacement, until you can get those designer dishes.

Tip 2: World Market has the steadiest most durable silver wear you can buy one at a time until you have a set that won’t easily tarnish that you’ll have to replace.


21St  Practicalities for Cars:

Tip 1 : On the Road : have the tech at Jiffy Lube check you round filter in the front of the car for dirt. Have the tech show you how to take it out and what to look for then you can go to automotive store, and replace it yourself next time. If Jiffy Lube will service everything (inflate the tires etc.) for $20.00 get it all done there, and be pampered. Needless to say regular oil changes will make your car last longer.

Tip 2 : On the Road : Most gas stations carry a small bottle a little smaller than a water bottle that’s essentially water. You poor it in your gas tank, and it evaporates the water from your gas tank so your car will start on the first try in the Winter months.

Some modern cars don’t need this product, and it could mess up your ignition so be sure to check at the automotive supply store first if your make, and model needs it.

Check back for the product name.

Tip 3 : Invest in locking gas cap.

Tip 4 : Put a nickel, or a quarter in the tread of your tire. If the Nickel fits in the tread, and is even with the top of the tread your tires are ok for winter snow weather. Google a Nickel, or Qaurter on Google to determine which measurement to use.

If you can see the coin sticking over the tread groove double check with a professional if you need new, or used tires to make it through the winter without skidding.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Years girls…
