Problem: When I lean back in my wheeled desk chair, it badly creases and wrinkles a nice old "oriental" rug. After years of restraightening and trying to control my roll, I fixed it yesterday:
Bought a small section of quarater round at Lowes and tacked it down in front of the rug. Protects 100% I considered removing the wheels, but that would take away the fun. Please forgive the use of "oriental" as anochronistic.
Problem: Place a candle in a pumpkin carved out for Halloween and it usually falls over. You can't wax it to the bottom because the bottom is wet.
Break off a piece of toothpick and force it a half inch or so up into the candle. Then insert the other end into the soft bottom of the pumpkin. Works every time!
Sometimes I can get positively smug about these kinds of things. Another approach to making the world a little bit better every day....... or at least a small victory against the forces of entropy.
