Upon being handed a journal as a gift, a nine year-old asks his mom what it was. The mom says that it was a notebook to record his thoughts and feelings, every day. The kid replies, "You mean, it is a blog...on paper." Reader's Digest, Oct 2008 issueA Few Simple Tips Around Your House
From a Pinterest posting:
1. Remove stubborn price stickers by warming the glue with your hair blowdryer on warm setting.
2. Freshen pillows by running them in a dryer on Low setting for 10 min or so.
3. Deodorize sneakers by sprinkling baking soda on the inside, and letting them sit for a day.
4. My fav: Wash windows horizontally on the inside and vertically on the outside (or vice-versa). If they streak, you will know which side to redo; Simple and elegant.
5. To reduce mirror post-shower fogging, clean mirror with shaving cream, and wipe off with a soft cloth.
6. To skip the irritating movie ads and go straight to the movie on a DVD, press STOP STOP PLAY SKIP.
