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 and 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 right color on the day you are shopping.
Pass this information on to friends so they can be informed also.
Thank you Skyline for sharing!
Women Over 40!
“I love the bottom 2 lines”, said Pam and Sally--I do to. Thanks girls!
Andy Rooney on Women over 40 - from 60 minutes As I grow in age, I
value women who are over 40 most of all.
Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will not lie next to you in bed and ask, What are you
thinking? She doesn’t care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit
around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And it’s
usually something more interesting.
A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is,
what she is, and what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age
of 40 give a damn what you might think about her or what she’s doing.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with
you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of
course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you, if they
think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what
it’s like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a
woman over 40. They always know.
A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not
true of younger women or drag queens. Once you get past a wrinkle or
two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They’ll tell you right off you
are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don’t ever have to worry
where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons.
Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart,
well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in
yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.
Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk
for free?”, here’s an update for you: Nowadays, 80% of women are
against marriage; why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an
entire pig just to get a little sausage.
Jasmine And Courtney!
When Courtney was about three and Jasmine about two we had their picture taken together.
But the years pass and children grow. You stop one day, look at them and can’t believe how your Granddaughters have matured!
What a great difference 10 or 12 years can make!
