Tips

Bed Sheets

After drying my sheets, put both sheets and one pillowcase in the other pillow case. Fold neatly in a square. Next time you change sheets, you just take the one pillow case and all the sheets and pillow case are inside. No need to look for matches.

Clean your glass shower

To clean the glass in your shower easily, apply lemon juice to the glass with a sponge. Then, take newspaper and wipe the lemon juice off the glass. It will be clean and sparkle with no scrubbing!

Reheat Pizza

Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Easy Deviled Eggs

Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

Expanding Frosting

When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar/calories per serving.

Reheating refrigerated bread

To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Newspaper Weeds-Away

Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go, cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic, they will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken Glass

Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass - the fibers catch ones you can't see!

No More Mosquitoes

Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

Squirrel Away!

To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

Easier thank you's

When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and have everyone put their address on one. When the bride/new mother sends the thank you's, they're all addressed!

MINE!!!!!

If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike.

Flexible vacuum

To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling

Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and -- voila -- static is gone.

Measuring Cups

Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?

Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope

If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner

Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair...

Good-bye Fruit Flies

To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2" with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants

Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it "home," & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

Take baby powder to the beach

Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When you're ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide right off your skin .

Dobson endorsed sermon blaming "lesbian sex" for God's "abandonment" of America



This is a switch. Usually it's more the buggery that bugs these guys. Dobson is so 1994 at this point. That stroke he had in 1998 destroyed all the "mercy" cells in his brain and he has nothing left but (bad) "judgment" ones.

I am thinking nowadays that one of the reasons China is doing so well and will soon exceed the U.S. economically is that it does not have any religious fanatics. Any that do surface there are rightly shunned.

And why DOES God allow China to prosper when hardly any of the Chinese BELIEVE??!! Maybe God is a bit more complicated than the Southern Baptist explanation of Him/Her/It.

Ron Paul on Tucker Carlson



Tucker treated Dr. Paul a bit too much as he ought to be treated, i.e., as a statesman. So I predict Tucker's days are numbered.

Wonderful World Tomorrow

http://www.wonderfulworldtomorrow.org/moral_compass.html

I found this site through a Google ad on my email. It appears to be an offshoot of the Worldwide Church of God.

Another reason I found it helpful for my mental and spiritual health to stop going to the local Southern Baptist church, aside from its constant advocacy for the extermination through "Christian preemptive warfare" of 1.3 billion Muslims, is because of the logical nonsense that permeates so much of organized religion.

For instance, "unbridled personal freedom that permeates everything we do, and even allows us to throw away our children by means of abortion" is followed in the next graf by the writer lamenting "Population explosions, problems like global warming, huge economic downturns -- all fueled by our need for unbridled personal freedom -- these all hold us hostage."

How did we get a "population explosion" after "throwing away our children by means of abortion"?

Passages like this just make one's head hurt.

Miss Universe Drops Her Clothes

Miss Universe Drops Her Clothes

Posted Sep 09, 2004

Jennifer Hawkins, the Aussie wearing the crown for 2004, loses part of her outfit during a fashion show.

This brings new meaning to the term "Australian Outback."


Jennifer looks better without clothes anyhow. This is not true of most, though. Thank God for clothes in general.

Ron Paul on The Daily Show

Bush: Russia "is not the enemy"



That's right, Chimp. YOU are the enemy. Everyone knows it but the Southern Baptists of America. Go ahead and claim I am persecuting you, Baptists. I am merely pointing out your absymal arrogance and stupidity, for which prayer does not seem to be a remedy. Perhaps you are praying to the wrong god — the god of this world who comes to kill, steal and destroy.

Doesn't that perfectly describe the results to date of the SBC-blessed "deployment" to Iraq?
