LIGHTSIDE

I parked my car in a 7-11 store lot, rolled down the window to make sure my dog had fresh air. He was stretched flat in the back seat watching me leave and ready to follow. I had been training him to stay.

As I backed up to the curb, pointing my finger at the car and giving the command “Stay”, “Stay”, do you hear me “Stay”.

A young lady in a nearby car gave me a strange look and said,

“Why don’t you just put it in park?”

A wife was making breakfast of fried eggs for her husband, when he burst into the kitchen. “Careful”, he said. CAREFUL! Put in some more butter. Oh WHAT ARE YOU DOING! You are cooking too may at once. TOO MANY! TURN THEM DOWN NOW! Are you CRAZY? USE THE SALT!!! THE SALT!!THE SALT NOW!!

The wife stared at him. “What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don’t know how to fry a couple of eggs?”

The husband calmly replied, “I wanted to show you what it feels like when I am driving”.

Tips To Extend The Live Of Your Garments.

Rinse a stained garment as soon as possible. The toughest stains will come out if they haven’t been given time to set.

Wash your clothes inside out. Use dryer balls instead of fabric softener. It’s cheaper, reduces drying time.

Put your socks and other small items in a mess bag, less change of the dry-gremlins getting them.

CLEANING TIPS

Remove hard to clean sink stains by adding 3 tablespoons of liquid washing compound to 1-quart water. Pour on spots and let stand for a few minutes.

Remove white spots from your furniture by rubbing them with boiled linseed oil.

Iodine- soak or sponge with ammonia.

Mildew- if stain is fresh, wash with cold water and soap. If stain is old, bleach with javelle water. Wash in hot water and place in sun.

Paint or Varnish- if fresh, use cold water and soap. If dry, sponge with turpentine. Sponge delicate materials with carbon tetrachloride.
