Three things you might not know...

[susandennis]

And one you might actually find handy...

1. Elmers glue does not keep forever. I need some for a small job and I have now found the third jar (not really a jar, more little soft plastic bottle) that has non-dried but not at all still useful.


2. I have enough extension cords to probably stretch from here to melodysk's living room (where, of course, standards will make it totally useless)... A couple of week's ago, I organized the shelves that hold stuff like that and put them all together. At that time, I learned that I have enough - of every color, length, 3 pronged, etc. My latest cleanup/organization has about doubled the stashed. So, if you need an extension cord, come on by!


3. Denture tablets are just magic. Years ago I read a tip that they were a great way to clean a thermos and I bought a box. And they are, indeed, a fabulous way to clean thermoses. Since then I always keep a box under the kitchen sink. Yesterday I found two vases that were just mucky inside. A denture tab in each with some hot water and this morning they SPARKLE! Plus, they are minty fresh.

I did clean the bathroom floor. I did not do a perfect job since there is probably a little more work to be done there. And when we are finished - just before the big Come See parties... - I'm going to find a professional to come clean every nook and cranny. But, I got the major bits swept up and sucked into the hand vac.

I did the same for the kitchen floor.

I took a huge load of trash to the dumpster and some empty plastic crates down to the storage area. I am feeling very good about the shape this place is in.

The laundry is laundrying.

A good part of today could be spent like this:

One learns the most useful trivia on LJ. Thanks for the tip about denture tabliets.

I'm ok for extension cords, but I could use a few of those thingys that you plug into the outlet and then you can plug 3 things into them. You got any of those?

BTW, I'm not sure I ever said thanks for the info about how to let my guru see my computer. We did use it, and although it ended up not helping our problem, it's still good to have. I'm on dial-up, guru says it is "excruciating" to use, but it was faster for him than driving an hour and a half to get here! And, he's already used it to fix another computer that he now lives too far away from. That computer had DSL instead of dial up, was considerably faster.

I not only have those... I have a couple of their cousins that let you plug 6 things in!

I'm so glad to hear that my tips helped. I'm so glad you asked.
