Fix its...

I want to thank Wendy for sending me these quick fix it ideas... I decided to place the list here and label it "fix its", so everyone might find an idea or two.  I also want to "thank you" the person or persons involved in finding and creating the ideas and bringing them to light.

Fix its...
How many of these did YOU know about?

A sealed envelope - Put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a
Knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed. (hmmmmmm..)
============
Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them
Neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.
===========
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put
Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't
Refreeze. (wish I had known this for the last 40 years!)
==========
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for
A few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The
Wax will fall out.
===========
Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped
In baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
==========
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt
BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
============
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S. Pads, I immediately take a pair of
Scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw
Away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would
Be much more economical. Now a box of S.O.S. Pads last me indefinitely!
In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get 'sharpened'' this way!
=============
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen
Peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood.. Works
Every time! (Now, where to put the body?) LOL
==========
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal
For inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows
On a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.
============
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely
Light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
========
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell
Freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.
=========
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3
Hours prior to burning.
======
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the
Flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt
And leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
============
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap
And enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.
===========
Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring
In tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.
===========
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
=============
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the
Corn's' natural sweetness
===============
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your
Forehead. The throbbing will go away.
=============
Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future
Use in casseroles and sauces ....... Left over wine? What's that? :)
=============
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area
And you will experience instant relief.
============
Ants, ants, ants everywhere ... Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So,
Get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.
============
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still,
Leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
===========
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
Tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and
Then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.
=====
Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer........ Clean a toilet.
Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush.
The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China
========
Clean a vase.
To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water
and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
=============
Polish jewelry.
Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the
jewelry for two minutes.
==============
Clean a thermos bottle.
Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak
for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
===========
Unclog a drain.
Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the
drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar.. Wait a few minutes,
and then run the hot water.
================
Do your friends a favor. Pass this timely (and some not-so-timely)
information on to a friend! I just did.
Makes you wonder about ingesting Alka Seltzer, doesn't it?

QChord Yahoo Group members.

Please if you are a Qchord Group member PLEASE say "Hi".

I would love to hear from you. It says there are less than 2300 members. 

I know there are a few more QChords out there than that. 

So if you "OWN" a Qchord PLEASE say 'Hi".

"Susie Q" is here!

Simple and sweet my Q-Chord is here. Thank You, Lloyd... Now please excuse me I have so much to learn.

Even before I did anything but put the batteries in, I had to show David,my Brother,my Friend, My Pastor. Oh My Goodness, David  plays it like he has owned it for years. How does he do that I wished I had just a touch of his talent. I really wish he would put a CD together, you all really did to hear him play. When our Friend Shawn joins in , it is so sweet. All I could do is smile and enjoy their beautiful music. Maybe someday I will be half as good as David is. YWYH is so good to me. Bye for now got to go back and re-read all my QNotes from Lloyd and start on my McGuffey Eclectic Q chord Reader. If ya are interested in a Reader just drop me a note and I will see what I can do. After that I need to tackle Walt's lessons, remember he has 52 packed lessons to go through as well. I have posted five of them, feel free to go back and look at them and follow allow with me once I have finished my McGuffey primer. Later

UPS verses USPS

Today "UPS" made my Brown eyes Blue.... "UPS" tried to say that my address did not exist, Even though the United States Post Service office(USPS) here in Mansfield, MO, "Issued" me the address, telling me to use one over the older address. Because many computers will not accept Route and Box numbers any more. After calling "UPS", because I thought they were running late... all I had to do was give my name and they knew they was in BIG trouble... They promised that they fixed my address in their computer system and it will never happen again. Strange I already had 3 packages delivered here.  But I guess it was not by UPS, Oh well, guess this proves Uncle Sam does not know it all. Whew!

NEWS FLASH ! 

UPS just called talked to Jeff, I discovered the problem the road I live on is split between two counties.  USPS used one address and UPS uses another, the problem will be resolved once this area gets 911 coding. WOW what fun we have. So I will meet up with UPS today and pickup my package, instead of waiting for Tuesday delivery. So I meet a new friend, Tonya with UPS... later gotta run.

Rescue a Chihuahua!

Someday soon - I will save one or two! Right now, where I live, I can not. Viva the Revolution! This is my prayer everyday! Thousands of Chihuahua's are killed or die everyday. My Heart cries out for them everyday. Especially the the teacups. Puppy Mills are nothing but human greed and love of money. Rescue one today.  Chihuahua are small, eat less than a cup of food per day, but give so much love - more than a heart can hold. If you must buy a puppy PLEASE be sure it is a healthy, certified breeder and not a mass producing puppy mill. Buying a puppy at a pet store is no guarantee that they bought from a puppy mill. Remember they just want to make a profit and may not concern themselves where their product came from. If you are buying from a dog owner's home, How well was the adult dogs treated and loved. A unhealthy or abused puppy may break your heart later.

Please let me know about your Chihuahua rescue!
