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.

124. People Can Be So Clever!

Creative juices flow in so many different ways and it never ceases to amaze me.  Our friends, Polly and Phil, sent us an email the other day and I know when it comes from them it will be worth opening.  This one was especially good, good enough that I'm compelled to share it.  The subject said
"Well, the church refused my cookies for the bake sale."
Absolutely precious!  I have to ask though, "Where are the Grannie panties?"
