When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered<br />which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you<br />know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? <br />Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different<br />color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red<br />Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would<br />want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The<br />colors go alphabetically by color Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday<br />through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I<br />looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist<br />ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You<br />learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the<br />right color on the day you are shopping.

10. Arthritis? WD-40 Spray and rub in, kill insect stings too <br /><br />(That might not be good for your liver. It absorbs into the body as a toxin and the liver eventually has to deal with it.) :eek: <br /><br />30. To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with Colgate<br />toothpaste <br /><br />(I've recently heard/read about divers and snorklers doing this. For me spit works great and it wont scratch or etch your lens/glass. Also, mobil,readly available, and no mess. ) :cool: :) <br /><br />Thanks Lady :) <br /><br />P.S- Ladyfish I really wish you would let us or Mr. Ladyfish know before you do anymore experimenting in the pantry. :rolleyes: <br /><br />I'm sure you can afford a real pedacure(sp) :D

Re: Things to Know

OddJob, your right about the WD-40. I'm sure this list is old as the hills and some of these remedies should be used with caution or not used at all.<br /><br />I'll be interesting to hear Crab Bait's take on a few of these.<br /><br />P.S. OddJob LOL, I guess now he knows why my hair is so shiney too. At least I didn't use the good beer. :p

15. Stinky feet - Jell-O!<br /><br />Wouldn't that be a little squishy between the toes. :p <br /><br />4. Mayonnaise will kill lice, will also condition your hair.<br /><br />Should the mayonnaise be disposed of after use? Don't really wanna waste any. :eek:

hi its the tanic acid in tea that treats burns, and stains the skin like a instant tan. it is available from any tea bag, or sunburn preperation. <br /><br />it ADOLPH'S NATURAL MEAT TENDERIZER that works best. not flavored. its the astringent that works. not all tenderizers work. <br /><br />an old emt.
