As for the pill law, bet you guys never traveled to St. Thomas, VI or out of the country. They DO inspect all pills at customs and will detain you or impound your meds that aren't in bottles, even aspirin, tylenol and vitamins. Play it safe when traveling in the US. What if you need a refill or you lose your pill case? Pack your bottles (I have 15) in a cardboard or plastic shoebox. Then if you run out, you can always go to the chain drug store and get them. I once ran out when on vacation with that weekly pill holder and didn't think to take all my bottles with me. I had to call my pharmacy in GA and tell them to transfer a scrip to CA. It was a hassle. Had I had my bottle with me, I could have taken that in and had no long distance calls with no waiting.

LadyDragon, you're joking right? Everyone in your family touches the paper cardboard roll with their dirty hands? My family only touches the toilet paper they use. Nothing else is touched until the roll is used up and then whoever replaces the roll touches the end and deposits it in the recycle can after they washed their hands. Don't they wash their hands before disposing of the roll first?  Use a paper towel roll instead and cut that in half. It's a darling way to keep their ties.

The plastic bottles for the ice is an excellent idea. I wash all my plastics anyway for the recycle bin, so I might as well start saving them for the freezer too. I'm always needing ice to go on day trips for water, etc. Might as well make something useful out of them.

I really liked many of the tips in this article.  There is only one that I thought was truly dangerous.  The year round use for an easter egg is not a good one.  My son managed to lodge 1/2 of one of these eggs in the back of his mouth, upside down when he was 2 1/2.  I had never thought of these things as dangerous until that moment.  Luckily I was able to dislodge the egg, but if he hadn't thought to grab my leg and shake me to get my attention I wouldn't have realized he was choking since he couldn't make a sound.  I was standing right next to him when it happened and talking with a friend while he played at my feet as we were making dinner.  If I hadn't been right next to him, who knows what would have happened.

Yeah, not a real good tip. You'll never get all the ketchup taste out of the bottle. Try using a measuring cup for making uniform pancakes and/or crepes etc. Overall a really good story. Couldn't care less about "social" reasons to use tips but some are just plain helpful!
