I'm not sure on the Cheat! issue at the moment because I feel like that's circumventing losing the card, not just being able to use it. I'm searching now to see if we have ruled that we allow that kind of action to prevent the loss of the card, but my initial feeling would be no.

Curses that that have a continuous effect, like Curse! Tiny Hands, are what we tend to call persistent Curses. They are "permanent" in the sense that they will remain on your character until you use a card that will allow you to cancel/remove a Curse. For the most part, that means a Wishing Ring, which you can use to cancel such a Curse before it takes effect, or later on to remove a persistent Curse. However, removing a persistent Curse will not magically return anything it caused you to lose while it was still affecting you, it's just that the Curse is over and you can go back to doing whatever it was the Curse wouldn't let you do in the past.
