Use nine: Try softening brushes that are hardened with old, dried-in paint by boiling them in vinegar and let them stand for one hour. Then heat the vinegar and brushes come to a gentle boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Rinse well, working the softened paint out of the bristles. For extremely heavy paint encrustations, you may need to repeat the process...or head to the hardware store.

Use ten: A little vinegar and salt added to the water you wash leafy green vegetables will float out bugs and kill germs.

Use eleven: Soak or simmer stuck-on food in 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of vinegar. The food will soften and lift off in a few minutes.

Use twelve: Clean and freshen the garbage disposal by running a tray of ice cubes, with 1/2 cup of vinegar poured over them, through it once a week.

Use thirteen: In a pinch, you can use equal parts of lemon juice and vinegar to clean brass and copper. On difficult areas add a little salt to the mix for some abrasive action.

63. Let's Go Dancing!



 http://www.break.com/index/dancing-merengue-dog.html

I don't usually forward many things mainly because I don't want to bug or offend people.  But I have to say that if you haven't seen this precious You Tube clip it is too wonderful for you to miss.  We love our Maggie soooo much and enjoy each and every trick she has accomplished.  She is so willing and wants so much to please us, unless, of course, she gets the whiff of a deer.  Then everything else gets put on the back burner and she high tails it off and running.  However, I don't think I have ever seen a dog spend this much time on it's back legs with out a break.  She looks like she is having a blast.  I hope you enjoy it as much as Bob and I have.

Maggie passed her first meeting with the local Kennel Club for their therapy dog group.  We go to our first meeting tomorrow night.  Wish us luck.  She is so sweet and loving it would be a shame to be selfish and not share her with those unable to have their own Maggie.  Enjoy!
