How to Repair Torn Pages in Your Bible (or any book) ~ Years ago my husband repaired several torn pages in my Bible for me. To do this, two pieces of waxed paper, a toothpick and Elmer's glue are needed. Lay one piece of waxed paper under the torn page. Place the torn pieces side by side, fitting them together as they should be, matching the words properly. This works even if part of a page is completely torn away, as long as you still have it, of course. Dip the toothpick into the glue and spread the glue along the torn line. Lay the second piece of waxed paper on top, close the Bible, and lay another book on top to weight it down. Allow it to dry for about 24 hours. Check to see it it is completely dry and carefully remove the waxed paper and you'll have a nicely repaired page! Much better than Scotch tape which will yellow over time. Just test out this tip!
"Free Heat" ~ We can cash in on free heat while doing certain household chores by strategically choosing specific times to get them done. Running the dishwasher, drying clothes in the dryer, baking a roast in the oven that can be spread out over several meals, cooking on the stove top, or running a water distiller for pure water during the times when you heat your home will not only do the job but provide some heat for your home. Burning candles, using candle warmers, or running a small indoor fountain also help, as well as running a dehumidifier or even simmering water on your stove or in a simmering potpourri pot. My HVAC engineering husband tells me that when the humidity in your home is higher, a lower temperature is more comfortable than when you have low humidity. That's why a built in humidifier is a money saving tip.
