Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week?
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.
I thought this was interesting. 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.

Pass this information onto friends so they can be informed also.

I can verify the bit about a doll's clothes...mostly for shoes. I remember in the Barbie doll instructions (of course, now I'm thinking "Why did she have instructions?") they said something about using cornstarch or baby powder in her boots if they were hard to put on. And it worked.

I'm not sure I'd use toothpaste on a burn. Seems to me the minty-ness would sting.

Meat tenderizer is good for bee stings as well as sea urchin and jellyfish. (Or urine)

I don't think I'd want to walk around with Colgate on my glasses.

Lipton(or any kind of dark tea) is good if you have sweaty feet also. Soak feet in freshly brewed tea (of course, pitch it afterwards because nobody will want to drink it!). The tannic acid alters the pH of the skin and makes it sweat less.
