* To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox, or 2 Bayer aspirin, or
just use 7-up instead of water.
* When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered
which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness. Did you
know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color
Twist tie. They are:
Monday - Blue
Tuesday - Green
Thursday - Red
Friday - White
Saturday - Yellow
So if today was Thursday, you would ! want red twist tie - not white which
is Fridays (almost a week old)!
The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow,
Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was intere!
sting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have
different twist ties, and even the one with the plastic clips have
different colors. You learn something new everyday!!! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy
bread with the right color on the day you are shopping

I just tried the Listerine on the grout. Maybe you have to let it sit overnight too. I tried scrubing with a bruch when I put it on but it didn't change any.

I did try the Listerine on the grout. Let it sit overnight. Great job!!! I couldn't believe how clean it was. I'm sold. I'll use that all the time instead of paying big $$$ for other things.

No jewelry cleaner around? Try some Efferdent (or similar denture cleaner); drop one tablet in warm water (1 cup), add jewelry, wait 15 minutes, and rinse, then dry with a soft cotton cloth. Wear sunglasses...you'll NEED them!

For polishing metals that are too big for that, try Crest...millions of soldiers and sailors can't be wrong! (I use this on some of my knives, particularly those with brass bolsters, pins and guards.)
