Ladies of days gone by: If a lady accidentally over-salts a dish while it's
still cooking, she drops in a peeled potato and it absorbs the excess salt
for an instant "fix-me-up."

Women of today: If you over-salt a dish while you are cooking,
that's too damn bad. Please recite with me, The Real Women's motto:
"I made it and you will eat it and I don't care how bad it tastes."

Ladies of days gone by: Cure for headaches: Take a
lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will
go away.

Ladies of today: Take a lime, mix it with tequila,
chill and drink. You might still have the headache,
but who cares?

Ladies of days gone by: Stuff a miniature marshmallow
in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream
drips.

Women of today: Just suck the ice cream out of the
bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake. You are probably
lying on the couch, with your feet up, eating it
anyway.

Ladies of days gone by: If you have a problem opening
jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a
non slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

Women of today: Go ask the very cute neighbor guy to
do it.

And finally the most important tip....
And my personal favorite--

Ladies of days gone by: Don't throw out all that
leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles
and sauces.

Women of today: Leftover wine??

A good friend will come and bail you out of
jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying,
"Damn...that was fun!"
