"Listen," said the shoplifter, "I know you don't want any trouble either. What do you say I just buy the watch, and we forget about this?" The manager agreed and wrote up the sales slip. The crook looked at the slip and said, "This is a little more than I intended to spend.

Phil replies, "Your Honour, my Mother told me not to interrupt when a woman is speaking." -<>- A young man in college called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the girl of his dreams. Now what should he do? His mother had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers, and on the card invite her to your apartment for a home-cooked meal?" He thought this was a great strategy, and a week later, the girl came to dinner. His mother called the next day to see how things had gone. "I was totally humiliated," he moaned. "She insisted on washing the dishes." "What's wrong with that?" asked his mother.

Last year they had such a miserable record that he couldn't give away two tickets to a game he was unable to attend. While parking at a mall, he decided to leave the tickets under his windshield wiper. "And it worked?" I asked. "Not exactly," he said. "I returned to find six more tickets to the same game. -<>- >Military Medical Clinic During a visit to a military medical clinic, I was sent to the lab to have blood drawn. The technician there was friendly and mentioned that his mood improved every day because he was due to leave the service in two months. As he applied the tourniquet on my arm, he told me that taking the blood wouldn't hurt much. Then, noticing my Air Force T-shirt, he asked me what my husband did. When I replied that he was a recruiter, the technician smiled slyly and said, "This might hurt a little more than I thought." -<>- >Echo-Cardiogram I went to the cardiologist today for an echo-cardiogram. The doctor prepared the machine and began the process of taking the reading of my heart. "Huh," he said. "That's weird." I stared at him with an expression of curiosity and growing concern. "What?" "You said you're a law student, right?" the doctor asked. "Yes," I replied, confused. The doctor exclaimed, "Well, there's actually a heart in here! Want me to take a picture for you so you can prove it to people once you're an attorney?" -<>- >Turbulence Flying through the Midwest in the summer means one thing: turbulence. I was working as a flight attendant on one particular flight when we hit a patch of very rough air just after a young teen on his first flight, had entered the bathroom. After the bumps had subsided, he exited the bathroom, a look of sheer terror etched on his face. "Are you all right?" I asked. "Don't worry, that turbulence was as bad as it gets." "So that's what it was," he said. "I thought I'd pushed the wrong button." -<>- >Comment Card I am full-figured, and when I dine in restaurants, I often find the chairs too small and uncomfortable. The last time I ate out I filled in a comment card, saying that while the food and service were wonderful, the chairs did not accommodate anyone over a size 14.

OUTHOUSE PROBLEMS When Ole accidentally lost 50 cents in the outhouse, he immediately threw in his watch and billfold. He explained, 'I'm not going down dere yust for 50 cents.' THAT'S HER! A Norwegian appeared with five other men in a rape case police line-up. As the victim entered the room, the Norwegian blurted, 'Yep, dat's her!' VE COULDN'T AFFORD MORE Two Norwegians from Minnesota went fishing in Canada and returned with only one fish. 'The way I figger it, dat fish cost us $400' said the first Norwegian. 'Vell,' said the other one, 'At dat price it's a good ting ve didn't catch any more.' THE RELATIONS Ole and Lena were getting on in years. Ole was 92 and Lena was 89. One evening they were sitting on the porch in their rockers and Ole reached over and patted Lena on her knee. 'Lena , vat ever happened tew our love relations?' He asked. 'Vell, Ole, I yust don't know,' replied Lena . 'I don't tink ve even got a card from dem last Christmas.' MUSIC SOLUTION Ole bought Lena a piano for her birthday. A few weeks later, Lars inquired how she was doing with it. 'Oh,' said Ole, 'I persvaded her to svitch to a clarinet.' 'How come?' asked Lars. 'Vell,' Ole answered, 'because vith a clarinet, she can't sing. THE PRANK CALL The phone rings in the middle of the night when Ole and Lena are in bed and Ole answers. 'Vell how da heck should I know, dats two tousand miles from here' he says and hangs up. 'Who vas dat?' asks Lena . 'I donno, some fool wanting to know if da coast vas clear.’ HONEYMOON On their honeymoon trip they were nearing Minneapolis when Ole put his hand on Lena's knee. Giggling, Lena said, 'Ole, you can go farther than that if you vant to. So Ole drove to Dulute. THE POLICE Ole was arrested one night while walking bare naked down the streets of the little town of Alexandria, Minnesota. The policeman, who was a good friend of Ole's said, 'Ole...What in the world are you doing? Where are your clothes? You're naked.' 'Yah, I know,' said Ole. 'You see, I vas over to dat 'playboy' Swen's for his birthday party. Dere vas about ten of us. Der vas boys and girls.' 'Is that right?', his policeman friend asked.

I am going to need you to take a breathalyzer test." "I can't. You see, I have very bad asthma, and blowing into that thing can set off an attack." "All right. Then you're going to have to take a blood test." "I Can’t do that either. I'm a hemophiliac. If a wound is opened I could bleed to death." "Okay. I will need a urine sample." "Sorry, I also have diabetes. That could push my sugar count really low." "Fine. So just get out of the car and walk a straight line for me." "I can't do that either." "Why in the world not??!" "Because I’m drunk!" ------- Three blondes were sitting by the side of a river holding fishing poles with the lines in the water. A game warden came up behind them, tapped one on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, ladies, I'd like to see your fishing licenses." "We don't have any." replied the first blonde. "Well, if you're going to fish, you need fishing licenses." "But officer," replied the second blonde, "we aren't fishing. We all have magnets at the end of our lines and we're collecting debris off the bottom of the river." The warden lifted up all the lines and, sure enough, there were magnets tied on the end of each line. "Well, I know of no law against it," said the warden, "take all the debris you want." And with that, he left. As soon as he was out of sight, the three blondes started laughing hysterically. "What a dumb cop," the second blonde said to the other two, "doesn't he know that there are steelhead trout in this river?!" --------- Aboard an airline flight from Israel to America, Grandma Esther was taking her very first flight. They had only been aloft a few minutes when the old lady complained to the stewardess that her ears were popping. The girl smiled and gave the older woman some chewing gum, assuring her that many people experienced the same discomfort. When they landed in New York, Grandma thanked the stewardess. "The chewing gum worked fine," she said. "Now that we've arrived, would you tell me, how do I get it out of my ears? -------- A pretty young lady was having a tooth pulled. The dentist gave her the usual "this won't hurt a bit" routine before bending over her with a drill in his hand. He immediately drew back in complete alarm. "Miss," he said in a barely audible whisper, "you have hold of my privates!" "Yes, doc, I know," she smiled, "and we aren't going to hurt each other, are we? ------- Two guys were roaring down the road on a motorbike when the driver pulled over as his leather jacket had a broken zipper. He told his friend, "can't keep driving anymore with the air hitting me in the chest like that." His friend suggests that "Just put the jacket on backwards." They continued roaring down the road but around the next bend they were going too fast, lost control and totally wiped out in the ditch. A nearby villager rushed over to the serious accident and ran to call the police. Operator asked, "Are they showing any signs of life?" "Well," the villager explained, "the driver was moving until I turned his head around the right way!" ------------ Two college roommates, a blonde and a brunette, were sitting down for breakfast one morning. The brunette noticed the blonde staring into her cereal bowl with a very perplexed look on her face. The brunette asked, "Is something the matter?" The blonde replied, "I'm trying to figure out the message in my Alphabits, but so far all I can make out is OOOOOOO!" The brunette said to her, "Ummm...maybe that's because you're eating Cheerios! --- ...LOL!

Nothing will change. These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment: 1.) We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering. 2.) Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" and PAID their money, but the second didn't. Think about it..... Last but not least: 3.) Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping payments to illegal aliens such as monthly payments for each child, money for housing, food stamps, free education including college and also in some places the right to vote? -<>- >Quotes: If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. ~Jay Leno~ The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~Henry Cate, VII~ We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. ~Aesop~ If we got one-tenth of what was promised to us in these State of the Union Speeches, there wouldn't be any inducement to go to heaven. ~Will Rogers~ When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ~Clarence Darrow~ Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, they go out and buy some more tunnel. ~John Quinton~ Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~Oscar Ameringer~ I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. ~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952~ A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. ~ Tex Guinan~ I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~Charles de Gaulle~ Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. ~Doug Larson~ There ought to be one day -- just one -- when there is open season on senators. ~Will Rogers~ -<>- >THE BEST SLAVE IS ONE WHO THINKS HE IS FREE... How to create a social state: There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a social state. The first is the most important. 1) Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people 2) Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live. 3) Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty. 4) Gun Control– Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state. 5) Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income) 6) Education – Take control of what people read and listen to – take control of what children learn in school. 7) Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools 8) Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor. Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United States? These rules merely simplified Vladimir Lenin's original scheme for world conquest by communism, under Russian rule. Stalin described his converts as "Useful Idiots." The Useful Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S. If people can read this and still say everything is just fine... they are “useful idiots.

When the son returned, the father asked him to tell him about his trip. The son said, "Pop, I had a great time in Israel. By the way, I converted to Christianity." "Oy, vey," said the father. "Vot haf I dun?" He decided to go ask his friend Jacob what to do. Jake said, "Funny you should ask. I too sent my son to Israel, and he also came back a Christian Perhaps we should go see the rabbi and ask him what we should do." So they went to see the rabbi. The rabbi said, "Funny you should ask. I too sent my son to Israel. He also came back a Christian. What is happening to our young people? Perhaps we should go talk to God and ask him what to do." The three of them prayed and explained what had happened to their sons and asked God what to do. Suddenly a voice came loud and clear from Heaven, "Funny you should ask.

Thanks Karen! ======================================================= >-->In The Worldly News: >From BizarreNews: Police in Texas said a man accused of stealing steaks from Walmart led officers on a high-speed chase and struck a police car with meat tossed from his window. Authorities said the suspect stole an undisclosed number of steaks from the Walmart Neighborhood Market in Longview. The ensuing police chase reached speeds exceeding 100 mph and crossed two counties before the man was apprehended by Upshur County sheriff's deputies and East Mountain police. East Mountain police Sgt. Marc Nichols said the suspect attempted to get rid of some of the pilfered meats while fleeing police. "It appears that there's steaks and meats of some sort flying out the windows, and one of them bounced off my patrol car. That's not something you think of people stealing, especially running from the police in the process. Today was a new one." Nichols said the suspect surrendered after eventually stopping. Investigators said the suspect, whose name was not released, is believed to be a heroin user. -<>- There are a lot of arguments for and against the legalization of certain illicit drugs. The drug with the most traction being marijuana. With recreational marijuana use now legal in four states (and medical marijuana in a number of others) it looks like Mary-Jane is slowly winning. And while I will not make any moral judgements either way, I will say that if marijuana is still illegal in your state, you should at least avoid smoking it in public, where you might be observed, especially by police, like in a police station parking lot. This logic apparently never occurred to Elizabeth Klebba. Earlier this year the 21-year-old Chicago woman was in a car directly behind the police station in Riverside, IL. She was there waiting for a friend who was inside to recover a vehicle towed after a DUI arrest. It was at this time that young Elizabeth decided to spark one up. An officer saw the woman sitting in the driver's seat with a window down and smelled marijuana coming from inside. When he asked Klebba is she had weed in the car, she said there was. Even so, she still might have avoided the arrest if she weren't parked in a spot marked "police parking only" which is what drew the officer's attention in the first place. During the officers search of the vehicle, he found 2 containers of cannabis and a glass one hitter. A field test applied to the plant matter rendered a positive result and Elizabeth was arrested for possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and. of course, improper parking. "This was probably the easiest cannabis arrest ever made by the Riverside Police Department," Riverside Police Chief Thomas Weitzel said. *-- These Are the Voyages of Boaty McBoatface --* The Natural Environment Research Council doesn't know how the Internet works. The British Research Council that supports research, training and education in the environmental sciences went to the Internet to name their brand new polar research vessel. The idea was supposed to be a goodwill campaign to generate public interest and support of the NERC and its programs. Unfortunately for them, the name the Internet chose for the 200m Euro ship was RRS Boaty McBoatface. In fact, Boaty McBoatface received 124,109 votes, four times more than the second-placed name. However, the chief executive of the NERC, Duncan Wingham, will have the final say in the naming of the boat, so it is unlikely RRS Boaty McBoatface will ever weigh anchor. Science minister Jo Johnson said, "We want a name that lasts longer than a social media news cycle and reflects the serious nature of the science it will be doing." So much for the power of social media. *-------- Stripper Triggers Security Alert --------* MAINZ, Germany: A male stripper sparked panic in Frankfurt's red-light district after being spotted with what appeared to be an assault rifle and bullet-proof vest emblazoned with FBI. "A significant number" of police officers were deployed to the area after Saturday night's sighting, officials said. The 30-year-old Hungarian man was later found in a table- dance bar, where he revealed the suspicious items were part of the costume for his act. The weapon turned out to be a plastic replica, according to a police statement. After a delay, the stripper was permitted to perform, "but whether his act was a success, is not known," police added. *-- Leave it to the French --* A hero of Greek mythology, known for his virility and thirst for women, has been stripped of his manhood one too many times, according to a seaside town in France. A three-meter statue of Heracles, or Hercules, Greek mythology's divine hero, has stood in the Parc Mauresque in Arcachon since 1948, and the town has been powerless to stop vandals from constantly snapping off the beloved sculpture's manhood. Until now, that is. To avoid any further pain or embarras- sment to the statue, the townspeople have created a removable one for the Greek God, for use only on special occasions which warrant ceremonies in the park. Deputy Mayor Martine Phelippot said it was the best solution, 'otherwise you just end up constantly chasing after the anatomy of Heracles'. And nobody wants that. *-- New Zealand Learns a Trick from America --* A New Zealand man who set fire to his house while burning a wasp nest with a spray can and a lighter is lucky he didn't burn the building down, a firefighter says. The man tried to get rid of the nest using the makeshift blowtorch through a hole in the wall to "smoke the wasps out" on Thursday night. Instead he started a fire in the wall cavity. Three fire crews responded to the blaze. Southbridge senior firefighter Ben Wilson said his crew were in "disbelief". "It's a bit of a shock that someone might have done that. "It's a good time to remember that aerosol cans and lighters are not a safe approach to any form of blowtorch." Wilson told the man to "leave it to the professionals" next time he had a bug infestation. ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Fran :) _ _ _ {o}{o}{o} | | | \|/\|/\|/ [~~~~~~~~~] >Fired after 31 Years James "Jim" Whitey, the head gardener at the White House, was dismissed today after 31 years of loyal service to scores of US Presidents and First Ladies.

As he was checking into a hotel he struck up an acquaintance with a beautiful young lady. She only spoke Italian and he only spoke English--neither understood a word the other spoke. So he took out a pencil and a notebook and drew a picture of a taxi. She smiled, nodded her head and they went for a ride in the park. Later, he drew a picture of a table in a restaurant with a question mark and she nodded. So they went to dinner. After dinner he sketched two dancers and she was delighted. They went to several nightclubs, drank champagne, danced and had a glorious evening. It had gotten quite late when she motioned for the pencil and drew a picture of a four-poster bed. He was dumbfounded. To this day he says that he's never been able to understand how she knew he was in the furniture business. -<>- A man commissioned Picasso to paint a portrait of his wife.

The younger child refused to stay in her seat and danced around our table. Her sister, tears rolling down her face, laughed loudly at the three-year-old's antics and pounded the table. Beet-red with embarrassment, my husband warned them through clenched teeth, "If you don't start behaving, you'll never eat out with us again!" The man at the next table leaned over to his wife. "Look dear," he said. "Quality time!" -<>- An American history teacher, lecturing the class on the Puritans, asked: "What sort of people were punished in the stocks?"

I started to explain the length of the flight and the pass- port information when she interrupted me with "I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massa- chusetts." Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa." Her response... click. -<>- Two fellows stopped into an English pub for a drink. They called the proprietor over and asked him to settle an argument. "Are there two pints in a quart or four?" asked one. "There be two pints in a quart," confirmed the proprietor. They moved back along the bar and soon the barmaid asked for their order. "Two pints please, miss, and the bartender offered to buy them for us." The barmaid doubted that her boss would be so generous, so one of the fellows called out to the proprietor at the other end of the bar, "You did say two pints, didn't you?" "That's right," he called back, "two pints." -<>- I was setting up a large, cast aluminum, decorative sundial in my yard that I had purchased from a garden catalog. A neighbor, an old Florida cracker, was leaning on the fence watching my progress and asked, "What the heck's that for?" I explained, "It's a sun dial, see the sun will hit that small triangular spike and cast a shadow on the face of the sundial. Then, as the sun moves across the sky, the shadow also moves across the calibrated dial, enabling a person to determine the correct time." My neighbor shook his head and muttered,. "Huh! Well what will they think of next?" ========================================================= >-->From Our Friend Bunni :) ,---,_ , _> `'-. .--'/ .--'` ._ `/ <_ >,-' ._'.. ..__ . ' '-. .-' .'` `'.

A person's true character is revealed by what he does when no one is watching. Although the tongue weighs very little, very few people are able to hold it. Falling down doesn't make you a failure, but staying down does. Don't be afraid of pressure. Remember that pressure is what turns a lump of coal into a diamond. Even a woodpecker owes his success to the fact that he uses his head. The poorest of all men is not the man without a cent but the man without a dream. The only preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Temper is what gets most of us into trouble. Pride is what keeps us there. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little "extra." The heart is the happiest when it beats for others.

Salt is used commonly in the textile industry, but works at home too. If a dye isn’t colorfast, soak the garment for an hour in 1/2 gallon of water to which you’ve added 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup salt, then rinse. If rinse water has any color in it, repeat. Use only on single-colored fabric or madras. If the item is multicolored, dry-clean it to avoid running all of the colors together. SALT IN THE KITCHEN: Boiling Water – Salt added to water makes the water boil at a higher temperature, thus reducing cooking time (it does not make the water boil faster). Peeling eggs – Eggs boiled in salted water peel more easily. Poaching eggs - Poaching eggs over salted water helps set the egg whites. Prevent browning – Apples, pears and potatoes dropped in cold, lightly salted water as they are peeled will retain their color. Shelling nuts - Soak your nuts in salt brine overnight and they will crack out of their shells whole. Just tap the end of the shell with a hammer to break it open easily. Preventing sugaring – A little salt added to cake icings prevents them from sugaring. Washing spinach – If spinach is washed in salted water, repeated cleanings will not be necessary. Crisping salads – Salting salads immediately before serving will keep them crisp. Lettuce and spinach can be prepped and stored in a salt water bath in your fridge. They will remain crisp and clean. Just rinse and serve! Improving boiled potatoes – Boiled potatoes will be given a fine, mealy texture by sprinkling with salt after draining, then returning them to the pan and shaking them back and forth quickly to get rid of the excess moisture. Crispier fried potatoes – Soak potatoes in salt water for several hours before you use them. This will help to “leech out” some of their starch content. Whipping cream and beating egg whites – By adding a pinch of salt, cream will whip better and egg whites will beat faster and higher. Keeping milk fresh – Adding a pinch of salt to milk will keep it fresh longer. Setting gelatin – To set gelatin salads and desserts quickly, place over ice that has been sprinkled with salt. Also, gelatin sets more quickly when a dash of salt is added to the recipe. Prevent grease splatters and splashes - Before frying food, add a few dashes of salt to the pan before putting the food in. This helps prevent the grease from splattering and possibly burning you in the process. Extinguishing grease fires – Salt tossed on a grease fire on the stove or in the oven will smother flames. Never use water; it will only spatter the burning grease. Improving coffee and hot cocoa – A pinch of salt in coffee or cocoa will enhance the flavor and remove the bitterness of over-cooked coffee. Improving poultry – To improve the flavor of poultry, rub the fowl inside and out with salt before roasting. Fixing over-salted soups – If soup has been oversalted, cut up a raw potato or two and drop into the soup. The potato will absorb the salt. 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 __________________________________________/ ------------------------------------------| | | |~~~~~~~~~~| | | | | *| *|Bless this|* |* | | |_____|_____| ~Home~ |______|______|____| _________ _________ | `| | |] "I Hate Cleaning.

Cleaning wicker – To prevent yellowing, scrub wicker furniture with a stiff brush moistened with warm saltwater and allow to dry in the sun. Cleaning grease spots on rugs – Some grease spots can be removed with a solution of one part salt and four parts alcohol and rubbing hard but carefully to avoid damage to the nap. Cleaning greasy pans – The greasiest iron pan will wash easily if you use a little salt in it and wipe with paper. Cleaning ovens – Salt and cinnamon take the “burned food” odor away from ovens and stove burners. Sprinkle spills while oven and burners are still hot; when dry, remove the salted spots with a stiff brush or cloth. Cleaning stained cups – Rubbing with salt will remove stubborn tea or coffee stains from cups. Cleaning refrigerators – Use salt and soda water to clean and sweeten the inside of your refrigerator. It won’t scratch enamel either. Cleaning tarnished silverware – Rub tarnish with salt before washing. Cleaning copper pans – Remove stains on copper pans by salting area and scouring with a cloth soaked in vinegar. Cleaning coffee pots – Remove bitterness from percolators and other coffee pots by filling with water, adding four tablespoons of salt and percolating or boiling as usual. Remove lipstick marks from glassware – Lipstick smudges on glassware can be hard to remove, even in the dishwasher. That’s because the emollients designed to help lipstick stay on your lips do a good job sticking to glassware too. Before washing your stemware, rocks glasses, or water tumblers, rub the edges with salt to erase lipstick stains. Removing onion odors from hands – Rub fingers with salt moistened with vinegar. “Sweetening” containers – Salt can “sweeten” and deodorize thermos bottles and jugs, decanters and other closed containers. Cleaning sink drains – Pour a strong salt brine down the kitchen sink drain regularly to eliminate odors and keep grease from building up. Preventing mold – To prevent mold on cheese, wrap it in a cloth dampened with saltwater before refrigerating. Brightening cutting boards – After washing them with soap and water, rub cutting boards with a damp cloth dipped in salt; the boards will be lighter and brighter. Clean dough off countertops - After rolling dough out on countertops, sprinkle salt on the countertop, and you will be able to wipe up the dough residue easily, without it forming sticky lumps. Burned-on Stains - Soak enamel pans in salt water overnight and boil salt water in them next day to remove burned-on stains. Cleaning dried-on egg – Sprinkle salt on dishes right after breakfast; it makes them a whiz to clean when you have time. Pre-treatment for stains on clothing - Eating out and dropped sauce or dressing on your clothing? Quickly sprinkle a little salt on the still damp sauce or dressing to absorb it. When you arrive home, wash as normal. Removing wine stains – If wine is spilled on a tablecloth or rug, blot up as much as possible and immediately cover the wine with salt, which will absorb the remaining wine. Later rinse the tablecloth with cold water; scrape up the salt from the rug and then vacuum the spot. Removing rings from tables – White rings left on tables from wet or hot dishes or glasses can be removed by rubbing a thin paste of salad oil and salt on the spot with your fingers, letting it stand an hour or two, then wiping it off. Piano Keys – Use a mixture of salt and lemon juice to clean piano keys. Muddy footprints on carpet – Sprinkle salt on carpets to dry out muddy footprints before vacuuming. Stainless steel – Rub with a gritty paste of two tablespoons of salt mixed with lemon juice. Rinse well and pat dry with a soft cloth. Preventing food from sticking – Rub a pancake griddle with a small bag of salt to prevent sticking and smoking. Sprinkle a little salt in the skillet before frying fish to prevent the fish from sticking. Sprinkle salt on washed skillets, waffle iron plates or griddles, heat in a warm oven, dust off salt; when they are next used, foods will not stick. Extending broom life – New brooms will wear longer if soaked in hot saltwater before they are first used. Restoring sponges – Give sponges new life by soaking them in cold saltwater after they are washed. Settling suds – If a washing machine bubbles over from too many suds, sprinkle salt on the suds to reduce them. Keep clothes from freezing on the line - Add a little salt to the rinse water when washing a load of laundry to keep the clothes from freezing stiff on the clothesline. Soaking the clothesline in salt water will also prevent clothes from sticking to it in cold weather. Brightening yellowed cottons or linens – Boil the yellowed items for one hour in a salt and baking soda solution Removing mildew or rust stains – Moisten stained spots with a mixture of lemon juice and salt, then spread the item in the sun for bleaching; and finally, rinse and dry. Fix a sticking iron – Sprinkle a little salt on a piece of paper and run the hot iron over it to remove rough, sticky spots. Color-matching nylons – Good nylons that don’t have a match can be made the same color by boiling them a few minutes in a pan of lightly salted water. Cleaning fish tanks – Rub the inside of fish tanks with salt to remove hard water deposits, then rinse well before returning the fish to the tank. Use only plain, not iodized, salt. HEALTH & BEAUTY Relief for canker sores, sore throats - A saltwater gargle will take the bite out of a toothache and ease the pain of canker sores and sore throats. Dissolve two teaspoons of salt in 1/4 cup of warm water and swish it around in your mouth for at least 20 seconds, gargling if you have a sore throat. Extend toothbrush life - Soak toothbrushes in salt water before your first use; they’ll last longer. Clean teeth - Use one part fine salt to two parts baking soda — dip your toothbrush in the mix and brush as usual. You can also use the same mix dissolved in water for orthodontic appliances.

You’ll find you’ve worked out the dry, flaky skin and are ready for a shampoo. ||__|| |__||| ..______________________________________||__||___________ . | [Home sweet Home] |__||| .____. . | .________. ||__|| |/\ *| . | wwwwwwwww | .'| |__||| |____| . | |)__|__(| (Moo) | .' | __||__||__. . /| | |\ | /| \\|(__)| | /__|__||/_/| . /%| | '=======' |(oo)| | |_._____._|| . |@/ | | \/ |o | |_|/^^^\|_|| . |/ |_____________________|____| ,|____|_|*****|_|/________ . . | , ____________ . . ._. . __________. |. =/ o o /= . / /| . /_/-----/_/| __ =/ X . /= | / /|| .

Drip-proofing candles – Soak new candles in a strong salt solution for a few hours, then dry them well. When burned they will not drip. Removing soot – Occasionally throw a handful of salt on the flames in your fireplace; it will help loosen soot from the chimney and salt makes a bright yellow flame. Cleaning flower vases – To remove deposits caused by flowers and water, rub with salt; if you cannot reach the deposits to rub them, put a strong salt solution in the vase and shake, then wash the vase with soap and water. Keeping cut flowers fresh - Mix a tablespoon of salt into the water of a vase of cut flowers to keep them fresh longer. Holding artificial flowers – Artificial flowers can be held in an artistic arrangement by pouring salt into the container, adding a little cold water and then arranging the flowers. The salt will solidify as it dries and hold the flowers in place. It’s cheaper than filling the vases with marbles or other small items. Salt is better than sand, too, because it provides a pure white color. Art Project – Paint with watercolor then sprinkle with salt. When it dries, brush the salt off to reveal a beautiful stippled effect. Clothespins – Boil clothespins in salt water before using them and they will last longer. _,--._.-, _,--._.-, /\_r-,\_ ) /\_r-,\_ ) .-.) _;='_/ (.; .-.) _;='_/ (.; \ \' \/S ) \ \' \/S ) L.'-. _.'|-' L.'-. _.'|-' <_`-'\'_.'/ <_`-'\'_.'/ `'-._( \ `'-._( \ \\ ___ ___ \\, ___ \\ .-'_. / \ .'-. \\ .-'_. / \\ /.-'_.'

Then just remove the lid to freshen the air. Keeping patios weed-free – If weeds or unwanted grass come up between patio bricks or blocks, carefully spread salt between the bricks and blocks, then sprinkle with water or wait for rain to wet it down. Deodorize your sneakers - Sneakers and other canvas shoes can get pretty smelly, especially if you wear them without socks in the summertime. Sprinkling a little salt in canvas shoes occasionally will absorb the moisture and help remove odors Keeping windows frost-free – Rub the inside of windows with a sponge dipped in a saltwater solution and rub dry; the windows will not frost up in sub-freezing weather. Rubbing a small cloth bag containing salt that has been moistened on your car’s windshield will keep snow and ice from collecting. Killing poison ivy – Mix three pounds of salt with a gallon of soapy water and apply to leaves and stems with a sprayer. Goodbye to fleas - If your dogs have fleas, simply wash their doghouse and blankets in salt water. If you’re worried your dogs may have brought fleas into your house, sprinkle your carpets lightly with salt and then brush it in. Leave it for 12 hours and vacuum thoroughly. Keep radishes safe in the garden – Salt worms (cutworms) will be repelled if you sprinkle seeds with table salt, then cover with dirt.

Knead the dough with your hands until it reaches a good dough consistency. Deter ants - Sprinkle salt in doorways, on window sills and anywhere else ants use to sneak into your house. It’s a sure way to keep them out! Easy fireplace cleanup - When you’re ready to turn in for the night but the fire is still glowing in the hearth, douse the flames with salt. The fire will burn out more quickly, so you’ll wind up with less soot than if you let it smolder. Cleanup is easier, too, because the salt helps the ashes and residue gather into easy sweepings. Repair walls - To fill nail holes, fix chips or other small dings in white sheet-rock or plaster walls, mix 2 tablespoons salt and 2 tablespoons cornstarch, then add enough water (about 5 teaspoons) to make a thick paste. Use the paste to fill the holes. Removing rust – Use salt and a damp rag to remove rust from auto bumpers, bike handles and metals; rinse thoroughly. --- ...Wowsers! Thanks Bunni!
