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.

109. Which Came First?

Every now and again you just require a really good belly laugh.  It is one of life's necessities, it should be mandatory that when you meet St. Peter at the Golden Gate he must ask you, "Have you had a really good belly laugh every day?"  If the answer is no then you should have to go back and rectify the error of your ways.

Bob's cousin Sue's daughter-in-law, Jamie sent us a wonderful   email with photos of Terry Border's  wacky wire art  work.  They are all worth a laugh but many of them will fulfill your requirement of a really good belly laugh for today.  I'm so glad that I have been able to give the artist the  credit that is  due.  So many things come on the internet without a way to credit the person responsible.  Border calls his art "Bent Objects."  Believe me, I will never look at an egg or a baked chicken the same way.  I guess we know which came first now, don't we.

Do yourself a favor and go to his blog.  Check out his videos, as well.  Click on the video page and watch...I think there are three.  You will definitely fulfill your requirement for today.

For sure, don't leave the site until you see "Marilyn," right on so many levels!  So, brush you teeth, take your multivitamin and fulfill that Belly Laugh requirement!
