I really don't like getting forwarded e-mail messages unless they are REALLY REALLY worth the time to read them... but usually when I see the title of the message as:

22. Pam will also remove paint, and grease from your hands!? Keep a can in your garage for all your projects
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 ! (like Director Rob Monaco says... this is just going to keep people FURTHER away from you!)
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 (and HOPE it doesn't rain...right??)

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. (Q2 Sports Richie Melby spilled an ENTIRE BURNING RED CANDLE FULL of wax on the ground at his old apartment... wonder if he used this trick!!!)
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!

36. Dirty grout - Listerine
37. Stains on clothes - Colgate
38. Grass stains - Karo Syrup
39. Grease Stains - Coca Cola , it will also remove grease stains from the driveway overnight. We know it will take corrosion from car batteries! (wonder if Diet Coke works just as well.. if so..Rob just think about what this is doing to your insides!)
40. Fleas in your carpet 20 Mule Team Borax - sprinkle and let stand for 24 hours.
41. To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox! , or 2 Bayer aspirin, or just use 7-up instead of water.
AND THIS IS ONE I THINK COULD REALLY HELP YOU OUT AT THE GROVERY STORE:
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 - yyellow , Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in t he 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! Betchya you'll try at least one of these helpful hints!
and this is no set up... While I was watching Jon fix my necklaces and taking his pictures (he really didn't like the whole picture taking/ interviewing process :) TRAFFIC REPORTER JON ARNESON asked if Don could fix his STOP WATCH!!
