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.

105. To Arms, To Arms!

To Arms, to Arms!  This plea goes out far and wide in an attempt to stamp out a dastardly thievery!  Put out a BOLO, send extra police to the airports. This has to stop and stop NOW!  Especially at the holidays...is nothing sacred?  Please, if everyone could be on the look out for the one legged thug who keeps stealing single socks!  The sad sock left behind lays around on top of the drier pining for it's mate and I have a false sense of hope that surely it will turn up clinging to a towel or stuck inside a pillowcase, all the while deep inside knowing it has been captured and will never return.  Please, who ever you are, in the name of all that is Holy, stop the insanity, just take them both!
