Bounce This Along!

The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away.

Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works. The insects just veer around you.

All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!

1. It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.
2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.
4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.
6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.
7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.
8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.
9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.
10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.
12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan.
14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the lose hairs.
16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.
20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.
21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.
22. Wet a Bounce sheet, hose down your car, and wipe lovebugs off easily with the wet Bounce.

Hi Mommas! I just started my own internet business. I hand make custom behavior charts for children geared towared ages 2.5 - 6. Please visit my website at www.disciplinemommy.com. These charts really WORK because they focus on 1 day at a time and children can "see" there behavior and understand where there behavior is at. Other charts focus on several days and its confusing to the child. They are fun and non threatening. This has worked for my 3 and 5 year old, and we are all ALOT happier. SUPER CHEAP and FREE SHIPPING. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a great day!

Please hold your laughter - but, it's my Mother In Law that really rocks. At the ripe old age of 83 she can beat the house in blackjack, has a biting/sarcastic wit and is a pleasure to be around. My mom passed away over 20 years ago, and my mother in law has been my "stand in mom" ever since. Oh & she's NEVER owned a cell phone - we NEED to get her out of the stone-age and into the modern-age.

This would be the perfect gift, mom's not all that hi-tech knowledgeable but wouldn't be too afraid of this phone since it doesn't have a long contract attached with it.

My mom is a wonderful loving person. She is my best friend and has always been there for me and my siblings. She is always helping others and always sewing something together to give away. She is constantly in pain but doesn't let it stop her. She has been wanting a new phone for a long time and this would make her day. Thanks for the chance to win.

My Mother is the best around. We are late stage parents (in our 40's). We have four girls to tend to, and both of us being on call nurses for ER & OR. My Mom volunteers to watch any and all, reguardless of the hour. I would like her to have this phone as a THANK YOU for all you do for us MOM!
