    Use Kool aid to clean dishwasher pipes. Just put in the detergent section and run a cycle, it  will also clean a toilet. (Wow, and we drink this stuff) 
    19.

    20. 
    Peanut butter - will get scratches out of CD's! Wipe off with a coffee filter paper 

    21. Sticking bicycle chain -

    23. 
    Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls 
    24. When the doll clothes are hard to put on, sprinkle with 
    corn starch and watch them slide on 
    25. Heavy dandruff - pour on the 
    vinegar ! 

    26. Body paint - 
    Crisco mixed with food coloring. Heat the Crisco in the microwave, pour in to an empty film container and mix with the food color of your choice! 
    27 Tie Dye T-shirt - mix a solution of 
    Kool Aid in a container, tie a rubber band around a section of the T-shirt and soak 
    28. Preserving a newspaper clipping - large bottle of 
    club soda and cup of milk of magnesia , soak for 20 min. And let dry, will last for many years! 
    29.. A Slinky will hold toast and CD's! 
    30. To keep goggles and glasses from fogging, coat with 
    Colgate toothpaste 

    31. Wine stains, pour on the 
    Morton salt and watch it absorb into the salt. 
    32. To remove wax - Take a paper towel and iron it over the wax stain, it will absorb into the towel. 
    33. Remove labels off glassware etc. Rub with 
    Peanut butter! 
    34. Baked on food - fill container with water, get a 
    Bounce paper softener and the static from the Bounce towel will cause the baked on food to adhere to it. Soak overnight.           Also; you can use 2 Efferdent tablets , soak overnight!

    40. Fleas in your carpet? 
    20 Mule Team Borax- sprinkle and let stand for 24 hours. Maybe this will work if you get them back again. 
    41. To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little 
    Clorox , or 2 Bayer aspirin , or just use 7-up instead of water. 

    42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Each day has a different color twist tie. 
                They are:

                Monday = Blue, 
                Tuesday = Green, 
                Thursday = Red 
                Friday = White 
                Saturday = Yellow. 
    So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue-Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the rigt color on the day you are shopping. 

    Don't forget " Gatorade " for 
    Migraine Headaches & Hang-overs. PowerAde won't work.

    You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.’--Nikita Khrushchev
