Okay, if folks are going to post lengthy lists and complete lyrics to songs, then I going to post this!

THINGS  TO  KNOW

1.    Budweiser beer conditions the hair.
2.    Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish.
3.    Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 minutes.
4.    Mayonnaise will KILL LICE, it will also condition your hair.
5.    Elmer's Glue -- paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see the dead skin and blackheads if any,
6.    Shiny Hair -- use brewed Lipton Tea.
7.    Sunburn -- empty a large jar of Nestea into your bath water.
8.    Minor burn -- Colgate or Crest toothpaste.
9.    Burn your tongue? Put sugar on it!
10.  Arthritis?  WD-40 Spray and rub in, kill insect stings, too.
11.  Bee stings -- meat tenderizer.
12.  Chigger bite -- Preparation H.
13.  Puffy eyes -- Preparation H.
14.  Paper cut -- crazy glue or chap stick (glue is used instead of sutures at most hospitals).
15.  Stinky feet -- Jello!
16.  Athletes feet -- cornstarch.
17.  Fungus on toenails or fingernails -- Vicks Vapor Rub.
18.  Kool aid to clean dishwasher pipes. Just put in the detergent  section and run a cycle, it will also clean a toilet. (Wow, and we drink this stuff.)
19.  Kool Aid can be used as a dye in paint also Kool Aid in Dannon plain yogurt as a finger paint. Your kids will love it and it won't hurt them if they eat it!
20.  Peanut butter -- will get scratches out of CD's!  Wipe off with a coffee filter paper.
21.  Sticking bicycle chain -- Pam no-stick cooking spray.
22.  Pam will also remove paint, and grease from your hands! Keep a can in your garage for your hubby, butch wife or significant other.
23.  Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls.
24.  When the doll clothes are hard to put on, sprinkle with corn starch and watch them slide on. (That's "on dolls", not on yourselves and NOT your pets).
25.  Heavy dandruff -= pour on the vinegar!
26.  Body paint -- Crisco mixed with food coloring.  Heat the Crisco in the microwave, pour into an empty film container and mix with the food color of your choice! (And I'm sure a couple of you thought you had pushed the envelope on things one can do with Crisco!)
27.  Tie Dye T-shirt -- mix a solution of Kool Aid in a container, tie a rubber band around a section of the T-shirt and soak
28.  Preserving a newspaper clipping -- large bottle of club soda and cup of milk of magnesia, soak for 20 min. and let dry, will last for many years!
29.  A Slinky will hold toast and CD's!
30.  To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate tooth paste.
31.  Wine stains, pour on the Morton salt and watch it absorb into the salt.
32.  To remove wax -- Take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain, it will absorb into the towel.
33.  Remove labels off glassware etc. rub with Peanut butter!
34.  Baked on food -- fill container with water, get a Bounce paper softener  and the static from the Bounce towel will cause the baked on food to adhere to it.  Soak overnight.  Also; you can use 2 Efferdent tablets, soak overnight!
35.  Crayon on the wall -- Colgate toothpaste and brush it!
36   Dirty grout -- Listerine.
37.  Stains on clothes - Colgate.
38.  Grass stains - Karo Syrup.
39.  Grease Stains - Coca Cola, it will also remove grease stains from the driveway overnight.  We know it will take corrosion from car batteries!
40.  Fleas in your carpet?  20 Mule Team Borax -- sprinkle and let stand for 24 hours.  Maybe this will work if you get them back again.
41.  To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox, or two Bayer aspirin, or just use 7-Up instead of water.
42.  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 and yellow on 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.

While on my walk this morning, I heard a mockingbird give a warning call. This kestral was in a nearby treetop (kestrals eat other birds).

DR Ben, the jackrabbit watched me, but he was nibbling at something (a root maybe). I got somewhat close, but didn't want to scare him away. Food is hard to come by in the desert.

DR PENNYO Water Water everywhere and not a drop to drink....a reference from????


An Absolute ad?


Quote
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free ;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.
The ship hath been suddenly becalmed.
Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down,
'Twas sad as sad could be ;
And we did speak only to break
The silence of the sea !

All in a hot and copper sky,
The bloody Sun, at noon,
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the Moon.
Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion ;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

And the Albatross begins to be avenged.

Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink ;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
The very deep did rot : O Christ !
That ever this should be !

Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.
About, about, in reel and rout
The death-fires danced at night ;
The water, like a witch's oils,
Burnt green, and blue and white.

From Sam Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Soon I'll be on my way for the radio interview.  KPFK at noon.  We'll be giving away five count them five pairs of tickets to What If, so if you know anyone in the LA area who'd like to see the show gratis, have them listen in.

DR Joey has a speedier link up the  "A Tale of Two Cites" musical.

I ordered the CD, so we shall see (hear, actually).

The site has lots of lyrics and sound clips.

Sample lyric:

Quote
IF DREAMS CAME TRUE
I MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BETTER MAN.
IF DREAMS CAME TRUE
YOU MIGHT HAVE SET ME FREE.
BUT GOD IS KIND,
FOR YOU HE HAD A BETTER PLAN
AND SAVED YOU
FROM THE PAIN OF LOVING ME.

…
OLD VOICES I HAD THOUGHT LONG SINCE DEAD
WHISPER OF ANOTHER LIFE I MIGHT HAVE LED.
BUT DAYLIGHT WAKES DREAMS AWAY.
DREAMS THAT LEAVE A SLEEPER WHERE HE LAY.

I am beginning to think that peanut butter goes well with just about anything! DR George's mixing it in yogurt sounds quite good!

I would say that my odd combo of food would be peanut butter and mayo.

Or mashed potatos with buttery corn mixed in, or peas depending on which vegi you happen to have on your plate.
I love the corn in mashed potatoes combo!  I've been doing that for years.

DR George, your name mixes from last night gave me a several good laughs this morning!!
My pleasure!  I've had that on my computer at work for a couple of years and copied it to my home computer not too long ago.

I am in the midst of the Windows "Service Pack 2" update--over 7 hours' worth.  Oy.

I am also on a "listen to stuff that has been sitting on the shelf forever waiting to be listened to" kick.  So far, I've knocked off Make a Wish (great), Hazel Flagg (pretty good), La Strada (horrible), Das Barbecu (fantastic LOL funny and produced by.....someone, now who is it?? :) ), Sherry! (I was underwhelmed--sorry; I prefer my soundboard of the OBC); and currently Oh, Brother (cute).

Still to come:  I Sent a Letter to My Love, The Human Comedy (try as I may I simply cannot get past the first CD on this one), the rest of Caroline, or Change, and several others.

No time to sign petitions--too busy actually BUYING OCRs!  ;)
