Art collectors protect their pictures the same way that crime bosses discipline their children—by having them framed. Guard your pictures before they take a fall with today's Groupon: for $39, you get $100 worth of custom framing services at Art & Frame Studio in Vista.
Art & Frame's owner Gina Osborne and her meticulous staff take care when encasing prized heirlooms, paintings, and prints inside myriad frames. With today's deal, Groupon holders can encase artwork with sophisticated borders or frame personal photos to keep good memories fresher than a freeze-dried birthday cake. Meanwhile, acid-free mats and UV-blocking glass protect framed pieces from dirt, sunlight, and hurtful remarks. Though prices vary based on size and materials with every custom framing, an 8"x10" photo with one mat and conservation glass can be framed for about $100 and 16"x24" and 10"x16" oil-on-canvas paintings can be framed for around $99.

The Groupon Guide to: Washing Dishes
Thanks to outbreaks of contagious diseases such as lantern lung and ennui, washing your dishes properly is more important than ever. Here are some tips:
- In the Roaring Twenties, it was common to use a dish just once before donating it to an orphanage for wayward boys or grinding it up to use as pelican bait. Not anymore.
- When cleaning a dish, remember to always use soap or water.
- Soaking your dishes in a warm bath of vinegar will break the dishes' molecular bonds and cause them to reform into tiny sculptures of your own hands.
- Instead of hauling water from your local well to wash your dishes, simply drop your dishes into the well. This won't clean them, but it will anger any vagabonds living down there.
- Save time by throwing your dishes into the washing machine along with your clothes.
