Helpful Household Tips 10-26-07 12:07pm CST
A friend sent me this - thought I'd pass along.

*WHO KNEW? When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest? So did you "squeeze" for softness to determine freshness? 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 colored twist tie. They are: M - Blue, Tu - Green, Th - Red, F -White, S -Yellow. So if today were Thursday, you would want red twist tie, not white which is Friday's (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White -Yellow, Monday through Saturday.

*Minor burn -- Colgate or Crest toothpaste

*Budweiser Beer will condition your hair.

*Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish.

*Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 min.

*Mayonnaise will KILL LICE. It will also condition your hair.

*Elmer's Glue -- paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off and see the dead skin and blackheads.

*Shiny Hair - rinse in brewed Lipton Tea.

*Burn your tongue? Put sugar on it!

*Arthritis? WD-40 Spray and rub in; kills insect sting pain, too.

*Paper cut -- crazy glue or Chapstick (glue is used instead of sutures at most hospitals).

*Stinky feet -- Jello!!

*Kool Aid to clean dishwasher pipes. Just put in the detergent section and run a cycle, it will also clean a toilet.

*Kool Aid in Dannon plain yogurt as a finger paint. Your kids will love it, and it won't hurt them if they eat it!

*Pam will also remove paint, and grease from your hands! Keep a can in your garage and shop.

*Peanut butter will remove ink from the face of dolls.

* To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer, add a little Clorox or 2 Bayer aspirin in the water. Or just use 7-up instead of water.
bbeasleyI love the tip about the fresh bread!! I might have to pass Tripp some Jelly for his feet when he gets home. :) 
sarahsmileI made cookies....I think people just bring snacks. But you aren't required to bring anything. I don't remember how to get there...need to call and get directions again. 
mariebcool 
ajrichThat is good to know about the bread. Thanks. 
sarahsellsshacksThat is so cool! We need to catch up soon!! 
tortillathanks! i have stinky feet right now! 
sarahsmileQuotes from the night:
"If you shaved your legs today...you can grab a present"
"Does it count if I shaved my toes?"

"Hey! I think I'm your illegitimate child!"

"I'm a pimp" 
the_girl_next_doorha! I didn't know you were on here, too! I had a great time tonight! 
travelagentwendiInteresting stuff! 
polaramyI hadn't heard you were coming - how exciting! It will be great to see you. Safe travels! (We were at Eastside in Athens. Lyndie and 2 of my cousins all worship there.)

Exercising and stuff 10-08-07 08:16pm CST
So - I went kickboxing tonight at the gym and it totally kicked my butt! I am going to be oh so sore tommorow - but man...does it feel good! What's your favorite exercise? I like tennis and aerobics because they keep me motivated since I'm such a competitive person - I'll give up at home but not in front of other people ;)
zanneI love pilates. And kickboxing. And step. I just love exercising! Unfortunately I haven't been able to do it as much as I'd like since the kids came along. 
sjbI just started a kickboxing class, too! And, yes, it kicked my tail. I was sore for four days. But, I start back tomorrow with my third class, and it is worth it. I love it!! 
gkbakerDoes surfing the net count? 
sarahsmileThank you SO much again for Saturday. Man he was right, I was much sore the next day. And now all my friends are calling me Mt. Everest and making jokes about flags.
My favorite exercise is walking...and dancing. I love love love to dance. 
bbeasleyAerobics is my favorite! I fell in love while at FC... though I didn't like the 7 am class time, I felt so good the rest of the day! I really want to get back into that. 
cdillman23We are going to join a local club where I can work out and I am so excited. My girls will take karate and I will exercise myself silly! I wish I could do some aerobics class (maybe soon). 
vavYou are invited to the FC class of 98 renunion. For more info go to www.floridacollege.edu and choose Alumni & Friends. 
sellerofpurpleI'm a eliptical kinda girl. I used to do this torture class called Body Pump. It was "fun" but like you kickboxing, it wears you out. However, that's a nice feeling after working out--makes you feel like you've accomplished something! 
sarahsmileSo are you coming for sure tomorrow night? I'm bringing some pita and hummus dip I think.

Doing Double Duty 10-01-07 08:56pm CST
So - my boss wanted us to join FaceBook on Friday - and I am LOVING IT! It is so much fun - more fun than pleonast (sorry pleonasters). So, if you are on facebook - poke me! My profile is Kristiana Burk - original, I know.
bbeasleyI'm on there too, but not very often. I haven't quite figured it all out yet, so it's not much fun for me. :) 
ukce1861So sad... I'm on there I think but I only do it to check out possible college hires... Glad you're feeling better though.

Finally Feeling Better 09-30-07 01:15pm CST
Well - haven't posted in a while because been VERY sick....but finally feeling better - GLORIOUS feeling :) Hopefully I'll get to be at services tonight - for the first time in 2 weeks!

Had to have a moment of celebration - UK won again yesterday - we are undefeated! Go WILDCATS!
gkbakerGlad you're feeling better! 
angelaHey girl! Yes, things are pretty much a go- just waiting on some final paperwork to clear.

Sorry you've been so sick! 
mbcI have been wondering where you have been! I am so sorry. You should have let us know you weren't feeling good. I thought you were out of town! Is there anything you need? 
sarahsmileI'm happy you were feeling well enough (but probably not really) to go to the CHI thing. did you take it easy this weekend?

Celebration Song?
The Song that Gets You Through the Last 5 min. of a workout?
Break-Up Song?

- I Hate Myself for Loving You
- Put Your Records On - Corrine Bailey Rae or Madeline Peyroux
- Shadow of Your Smile - Tony Bennett
- ANYTHING by George Strait

ajrichlately it has been the Crazy song by Gnarles Barkley. It gets stuck in my head and all I can do is sing it. I do like free fallin' too. no that one is stuck in my head for the rest of the day. 
larry_shannonI'm boring...I don't listen to much music and I probably couldn't tell you what the latest hits are in any genre. I'm even having trouble remembering some of my favorite oldies. :-) 
thomassivesounds good to me. 
sarahsmileHey, that sounds good...except that I'll be at the Dave Matthews concert on Sat night. :-( 
cdillman23I have a special place in my heart for Sweet Child O' Mine........

Okay, back to reality 
thomassivei'm probably still going to come on sat even though sarah can't come, save me a seat. which side of the building do you sit on? 
mbcsounds good to me, we could even do dinner? 
gkbakerHey, girl! Glad to find you on pleo. 
sarahsmileDance In Your Living Room with Lights Turned Off?- That's almost any song, but a few faves is "All in All" or whatever the name is by Air, Elevation by U2, and Pour some sugar on my by Def Leopard
