Saving money with Chemistry

Make aftershave starting with cologne. Use 1/3 cologne, 1/3 aloe Vera juice or 1/3 witch hazel, 1/6 isopropyl alcohol or glycerol, 1/6 water.

You have deep rocks in your ear but no Debrox. Use 1/3 hydrogen peroxide, 1/3 isopropyl alcohol, and 1/3 water. Add a few drops to ear canal but be sure to let it drain within several minutes.  I have not used this in quite a while.  It appears one to two drops of oil, either olive oil or caster oil, in the ear canal every week or two is the recommended home remedy.

Apparel

Game I created a driving-safety game combining both board game token movement and a kind of Trivial Pursuit card quiz idea. Spoiler alert: The game really needs to be redesigned due to the game creation predating cell phone dangers of texting, calling, etc.
