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.

129. Family, Friends, Fireworks and Hot Dogs

Remember today to be proud of our flag and what it stands for.  Our freedoms have been hard won by brave men and women, many of whom have given the supreme sacrifice so that we can celebrate today.

Let's keep in mind that we have a responsibility to be true to what the our Independence means and never turn aside and expect someone else to defend  it.  One of  our many  freedoms is  that of
 speech, but  remember to use it in a positive way.  The proud citizens of this great nation need to band together and work for the good of all.

Enjoy family, friends, fireworks and hot dogs, but
                                                                           never forget what we are really celebrating!
