You know how some of Martha’s Good Things are really good ideas that you might not have thought of on your own? And some of them are just ideas, the kind that everyone has, and don’t really need explanation, but she posts them anyway? Well this is one of my good things that falls into the latter category:
Removing black stuff
If you have a phone card, or something else with black stuff to scratch off so that it will be useful, don’t dirty up your fingernails or a coin scratching it, creating little black stuff crumbs to clean up. Just put a piece of Scotch tape (or your preferred brand of cellophane tape) down over the black stuff, scratch so it adheres, and then peel up, leaving a nice clean surface with the numbers you need.
very martha, but i feel like she would have had some other word for the black "stuff". we'll have to think on that.
