Getting Rid of Static in the Dryer

Wad up aluminum foil (piece about 26” long) & put in the dryer with your washed clothes & you will not have static. The aluminum foil can be used approximately 4+ months.

Sophie was to have surgery Wed., 2/6, to remove fatty tumors between her front legs. She had a fever and infection so Dr. Ross gave us medicine & we picked her up and rescheduled the surgery for next Thursday 2/14. She will be 9 on 2/16. We are praying the tumors are just fatty tissue & not cancer.

Recipe Organization

Yesterday I went through a ton of written and typed recipes. Now I'm looking for a way to put them on the computer electronically so that I can pull them up anywhere and look at them and do away with all the paper items. Any suggestions?

Using Pin/broach on necklace

If you have a pin or broach you would like to wear on a necklace. Cut a drinking straw and fasten the broach to it and then run your chain through the drinking straw. I thought this was a neat idea!

Getting rid of Ants in the Kitchen

Last week while sitting in the lobby of a Dr's office I read in Birds & Bloom that you could use ground ginger sprinkled around your counter top to get rid of ants. This person said they used this hint when they had a picnic outside so she gave it a try when she got ants inside her house & it worked. Have not tried but the next time I have these visitors appear, I'm certainly going to try this hint.

Facebook - Benefits of Facebook

Two benefits I thought of concerning facebook was if you wanted to get a message to students, they would see it faster if you put in on their facebook rather than send an email.

Also I helped a guy in special collections Wednesday and he wanted to look at old yearbooks (1988-1992) to get some names of baseball players to try to get together with them next year. It made me think that if they all had facebook, he could probably get in tough with them and immediately be able to get a message to them.
