Solution: Automatic door closer

Quick Pillow Case Change
Problem: Trying to fit pillow in a tight pillow case.
Solution: Reverse peal it on.
For years I had a pillow fight of sorts each time I tried to put a new pillow case on my pillow. My mother-in-law who is a nurse showed me this trick that makes the task much easier.
-Grab the pillow case by the outside bottom with your right hand.
-Push your right hand through the inside of the pillow case (turning it inside out) but leave you hand in place.
-With your left hand place the bottom of the pillow in your pillow case covered right hand and grab onto the pillow bottom.
-While holding the pillow bottom firmly with your right hand pull the pillow case up and over the pillow and you are done.
Kind of link reverse pealing a banana.

Socks That Always Match
Problem: Trying to find a matched pair of socks.
Solution: Buy all your socks the same.
This has saved me a lot of time and headache. After doing the wash it was socks that always took the most time to sort out. One day I hit on the idea of buying 14 pairs of white socks and 14 pairs of black socks that are all the same. When the socks come out of the wash I just dump them in the drawer. Any two white or black socks I grab always match. When they start to wear out, I trash them all and start over with new socks that are all the same. I suggest that you buy more socks then you typically use between washes. That way you have a few extras to replace the ones that get "eaten by the dryer" or go to wherever it is that lost socks go.
