Too many accidental burnings and scaldings are caused by the water being TOO HOT coming from the water heater. You just do not need SCALDING hot water in the bathroom sink or tub or in the kitchen sink. Turn the heater temperature down to save energy and prevent accidents.
After I gave her a summertime bath, I used to comb and brush my red Chow-Chow dog outside in the yard. I would then leave her dog hair in the flower beds. The birds loved to use it in their nests. It made for some pretty "red" nests in the trees.
I love to use SCOTT Towels as quick placemats when my children have outdoor playdates, soccer games and picnics. They are the perfect size and can also double as a napkin when the snacks are done!
To avoid clutter and mess, put everything away immediately after use every time. This includes the newspaper, a water glass or a book. Everything that has a special place should go back immediately after every use.
When you are ready to use onions, cut the ROOT END off first. Most times, no tears!!
This will help a lot for those who use onions in their cooking and salads. If you store onions in a plastic bag in your refrigerator for a couple of days before using them, you'll protect your eyes from onion tears and your hands from onion smell.
Purchase and use the grocery/department store CLOTH bags. Plastic bags are littering the fields, roadways, forests and waterways. Plastic bags can seriously harm and kill wildlife. They get caught in farmers' field equipment. Cloth bags are lightweight and washable, and they are much easier to carry than the plastic ones.
I helped an elderly lady find her car, just a day ago. If this happens to you, don't forget to press your "panic" button on your car key remote. Your lights will blink and the horn will blow. You'll find your vehicle!
