| What is your favorite invention, that doesn't plug in (no cell phones), and is something you use every day, or it makes your life easier? Could be something like a Swiffer or a good pair of pruning shears for example.
Mine is the doggie door! With 7 dogs, I'd spend all my time letting dogs in and out if it weren't for the doggie door. |

Benedryl, both cream & pills.
For those of us who are allergic to a big variety of plants, animals, dust, mold, etc, both utside & inside, it's a life-saver. I wish they'd had it when I was a kid. |

| I second the doggie door. I especially like the remote control kind that only open for pets with the collar sensors. |

1.Scotch tape.
2.Duct tape
3.Hot glue & gun
4.Super Glue. Start with #1, if that won't hold it, move on the #2 and then #3 and #4. If it still won't hold it together.......there's the trash can and I promise not to tell. |

| Very good, PeaBee! I'm going to put that advice on a sticky note. If it doesn't stay up, I'll go to #1. |

| My wirebender for making hooks and plant supports, and my grape-picker snips that do far more than the maker ever intended (quick weeding, making holes in yoghurt pots, etc), and my diamond honing slip to restore the snips. |

| For the garden, without question, the long handled spading fork. I'm too tall for the short ones but any do a better job, are far quieter, and are much safer exercise than a rototiller. Cultivating peace. Digit |
