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
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 interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones 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 use regular Crest toothpaste and coffee filters. Works WONDERS.

Wow...Jimmers thanks for those.  I'm printing those out.

Some of them I already knew but I had to laugh at the image of putting PrepH under my eyes cause I didn't get enough sleep.  Which was probably because I spent last night with a Bud conditioning my hair.

Good stuff!

Kids can reuse postage by covering stamps with Elmers Glue. They never spotted it and the cancellation washes off with the glue. It can be done again and again until the stamp wears thin. I knew a goofy guy that used to do this back in the 60s.... 8-)

Oh, and I almost forgot:

1. NEVER fry bacon in the nude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

and if you do Jimmers...we do not want to hear about where you are hurtin.

:D :o

Hey Linda -- try the Prep H for those "laugh lines" -- it actually does work.... And at our age -- it's cheaper than a face lift... ;)

I wonder what it is doing to my insides????  [smiley=bigcry.gif]

Why would anyone put toast in a slinky?  I have a couple things called plates/baskets.  Never heard of Karo Syrup.  But some useful tips here if you have kids like I do.

Anybody have tips on getting my wife to clean more than once in a while?  Stopping a baby from puking on me.  Convincing my son there is no such things as monsters.  And finally, I get these real bad headaches called Cluster Headaches.  Anybody know how to get rid of them?  Will Colgate up my nose while having a slinky wrapped around my head get rid of them?

(Jumping up and down, cuz I FINALLY heard of a sure fire cure!)

Chuck...it doesn't matter what nostril.  But you can't get one of those cheap plastic slinkies.  Must be the real deal
