Amazing

How many of these did YOU know about? A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm...) ============================================ Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to. ================= =========================== For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)============================================ To remove old wax from a glass candle holder put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out.<> ========================================= Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!). =========================================== Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel. ======================================== Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately t ake a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. Now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this way! ========================================= Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL================================== Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry t too quickly and will probably streak. ============================================ Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on. ============================================ Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen. ============================================= Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior
to burning. ============================================= To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag an d add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm! ============================================= To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap an d enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top. ============================================== Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.============================================= Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks. ============================================= When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.============================================= Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. ============================================= Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces ........ Left over wine? What's that? :) ============================================= To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the areaand you will experience instant relief.============================================= Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.============================================ Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine. ============================================ When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and& nbsp;then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily. ===================================== Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer........ Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China. ============================================ Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets. ================== Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes. ============================================= Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary). ================================== =========== Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, and then run the hot water. ============================================= Do your friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely) information on to a friend! I just did.Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer, doesn't it?

Blogging before life, right? Well, why is it no one updates but every other week? I can say I am not addicted to blogging but I love reading others. Because at 6:00 am there is nothing to do but look at blogs from work. I am glad you all understand.

I had the best dinner of all time on Sunday. My brother and sister in law (Trent and Jackie) made this roast beef french dip kind of thing. But the sauce, I still cant get enough of it...

I have asked for the recipe, so if you read this, EMAIL it to Brit. I loved the spice. I cannot wait to make it very spicey for myself. I guess having 3 croc-pots is about to pay off. Is it crock? Crok? or Croc? Oh well, who cares. You all get the point.

I really never have anything to say on a blog. I just start typing and what ever sticks, I post. I never have an objective. I notice most people do. BAH @ YOU!

Ok, time for me to go read everyone elses blogs. UPDATE THEM. All of you. I only have like 5 I actually look at. I don't know anyone who blogs....I am a closet blogger, DONT TELL ANYONE I do this....I have a strong rep to keep, duh!


Late!

It's over, you DRESSed?

Well, the Buckeyes fell short again. It's good to say we again made a title game. Sadly, we beat ourselves. 6 personal fouls. WOW! 4 of those 6 on third down. One on a punt...not so good. So I will look forward to another year of being called over rated while making the title game. We lose 2 starting seniors. Boy, the NCAA has to love the Bucks. The largest school in the nation as well as the largest budget in the nation for athletics. Hate them, love them, they are domination at its finest. I will not admit they were beat. They were not beat, they gave that game with stupid fouls. I can say my team made the title game. Regardless of if they deserved it or not, we were there, was your team? Ahhh I cannot wait for the responses on this. I know you'll blab away about how how over rated OSU is....6 straight BCS bowls? 4 wins, a national title and EIGHT Big 10 titles in the past 10 years. Over rate that buddy.

Man it feels good to lose but know that we are having the best recruiting of the year, of any school.

Did you know Urban Meyer, Pete Carroll,Bob Stoops all coach at Ohio State? Not bad huh? GO BUCKS!

So I had a bet that if the Buckeyes lost, I would wear a dress at work. Pictures soon to come.
