Saturday - Some Pulbic Service Information
Did you
know?
You can flip a toaster
on its side and grill cheese in it.
The color on the bread
tab indicates how fresh the bread is.
And those colors are in
alphabetical order: b, g, r, w, y.
You can divide and
store ground meat in a zip loc bag. Just break off how much you need and keep
the rest in the freezer for later. So much easier than dividing and individually
wrapping each pound or half pound.
If you place a wooden
spoon over a pot of boiling water, it won't boil over.
Marshmallows can cure a
sore throat. Perfect for kids who don't like medicine.
Stuffing a dryer sheet
in your back pocket will repel mosquitoes.
You can run a paper bag
through your printer.
You can mail anything
that will take a stamp and weighs less than 13ounces without a box?
If you break your
blender jar you can replace it with a mason jar.
I think some of these were cool. I never thought about putting in a paper bag in the printer. And about the mailing.
News for us - we are in a holding pattern until this Wednesday. Thank you!
I would be a little concerned that the cheese might drip into the toaster and be hard to clean. Another fun tip about making grilled cheese sandwiches is to wrap the sandwich in foil and iron it on both sides. Yes with a regular cloths iron.
These were some great ideas. Marshmallows to treat sore throats sounds like a good idea. And using a wooden spoon for something other than spanking the kids is a good idea too:)
Thanks for sharing that information ... some of it I'd seen before but forgot and some of it was brand new. Am I the only one who, when clicking on the source links, got this message:

At first I thought it was something from my end, but I don't get this message when clicking on links on other blogs ... just yours. Confused. ;-)
i am ROFL about the toaster, i have the picture in my mind of what will happen to that cheese toast when it is done and POPS UP only it will shoot that cheese toast out on the counter and plop the cheese side down. ha ha ho ho he he. my grandmothers toaster used to flip the bread up in the air and down on the foor, this was about 60 years ago, so that made me think about the pop out tthing.
Ooooooo, so many good ideas, Sandie. I especially like the Bounce sheets in pockets to repel mosquitoes. I'll put one in ALL my pockets! Ha! I HATE to be outside and bitten by those nasty creatures. You are all in my thoughts and prayers this weekend, my dear Sandie. Susan
I am going to try the mosquito repellent i.e. dryer sheet. I am so allergic to their bites, and I hate that stinky spray on stuff. Have a good Mother's day.
I am so glad that I started reading your blog. I have learned more new things here. I love the idea of putting a wooden spoon over a pot so it doesn't boil over. I am constantly cleaning my stove due to pots boiling over. I will try that one. I have tried the bounce in the pocket to keep mosquitoes from biting and that one did not work for us. Our mosquitoes didn't care one bit. They bit anyway. Hope your Saturday is a super one!
Never heard of the wooden spoon over the boiling water! And the bread tags are interessting...gotta check it out. Hope you are having a good day...hubby, too. I'm sure Wednesday can not get here fast enough.
These are some of the best tips EVER!!! Not the usual that just keep going around every year. I love the paper bag one, and the blender, mosquito repellant, and wooden spoon.
I got the same message as Kathy. I don't think the advice about mailing anything for that price is accurate. I have had to pay for special handling of handmade cards because they couldn't go through some machine because of a brad, three dimensional flower on a card, etc. It isn't just weight that determines the postal fee. The postal clerks have a template with a slit in it. If an envelope passes through the slit, a regular stamp will work.
I made a dozen Christmas cards a few years ago that were mailed in clear envelopes. Addresses were on a solid sheet of paper within, clearly visible. I had to pay for special handling because the plastic envelope wouldn't go through the machine.
Going to have to try the toaster thingy and dividing the turkey burgers. My bread has ties so I guess it doesn't work for them. Good ideas. Know you will be glad when Wednesday gets here.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!! I love some of those ideas, like the dryier sheet, mosquitos love my daughter and grand daughter, but I never get bit....so I will mention that one to her, I also like the marshmallow for sore throats...great idea!!! love the postage mailing option too!!! have a great day love, jamie
i just read back a few posts. i am so sorry to hear about your husband. i will remember him in my prayers! my blog got blognapped and i just started a new one http://bitsoflifeandcookiebites.blogspot.com have a happy mothers day!
Oh, I liked the hamburger separations, those are all great ideas, sure didn't know about the mailing. I know it is tough to wait, but the time will pass.
These are GREAT! And I knew about the paper bag because hubby printed some out for Christmas gifts. He made gourmet coffee to give as gifts to co-workers. Hope your Sunday is GOOD!
We're in a holding pattern here. Please keep my daughter in your prayers. They just discovered 3 spots on her lungs. she's never smoked. And a big mass on her liver. They're going to do a biopsy soon. I am praying with all my heart these things are benign. She's only 36 and has two small children. You never know what the good Lord is going to throw your way. Last week everything was in transition about something else. This week we are confronted with this. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to you. I know with your husband being sick, it'll hold even more special meaning to you. Take care.
Several things here I didn't know about. The toaster one is pretty cool and the burger one is ingenious. Also wish I would have known about the marshmallow curing a sore throat. I'm going to have to try that
Those were some great tips, Sandie! I really like the ones about the frozen beef,wooden spoon, and bound sheet! Mosquitoes love me...I'll have to try this. I hope you had a great Mother's Day!♥
I wonder if those dryer sheets will work for Black flies in Canada. I have to wear a black fly net and last night walking. It was like so hot, hot with it on.
I am allergic to the black flies. I have tried every thing on the market to be a happy camper for to enjoy Spring. So if you ever find out anything. Please add to your list here to-morrow.
These blackflies are wee small like a fruit fly around ripe bananas. Boy do they bite. They attack like 100 at a time for me.

I gotta try that toaster one! Interesting about the bread colored tabs; all fascinating info Sandie!
I hope it is a relaxing day for you

Some wonderful tips. You have a happy Mother's Day.
I had no idea about the toaster, but I imagine the melted cheese on the elements may not be that much fun to clean off!
These were some interesting tips - the toaster was pretty smart :) Hope that you're having a good day my friend! Happy Mother's Day to you xx

That was fun and interesting.Happy Mothers day to you too.
Some wonderful tips and ideas!! Happy Mothers Day!!!
Those are some neat ideas. I like the one about flipping the toaster over on it's side.
I did a post on making your own silver bullet using a blender and a mason jar.
I almost forgot. Happy Mothers Day!!! Have a good one
I tried the wooden spoon over my pot of boiling water and you know what? it boiled over. i guess i'll have to try it again. love all of the ideas!
i just read back a few posts. i am so sorry to hear about your husband. i will remember him in my prayers! my blog got blognapped and i just started a new one http://bitsoflifeandcookiebites.blogspot.com have a happy mothers day!

Love from here.
Great tips! I love the paper bag and the wooden spoon.
Happy Mother's Day! Big hug and kiss to you!
Love,
Marie
These are GREAT! And I knew about the paper bag because hubby printed some out for Christmas gifts. He made gourmet coffee to give as gifts to co-workers. Hope your Sunday is GOOD!
Super duper tips!!!
I wondered why I never have a sore throat!!! It's because I eat a lot of marshmallows. So much so that they are coming out my thighs!
A lot of great ideas! The mason jar is a great one I will try to remember. God Bless.
Sandie, just wanted to make a quick stop to wish you a very happy mother's day tomorrow...may it be filled with lots of hugs and kisses .....
I really like the idea for freezing ground beef, I'm going to do that one. I'll also have to try the wooden spoon.
Being in a holding pattern can be frustrating but at least you know the landing time.
We're in a holding pattern here. Please keep my daughter in your prayers. They just discovered 3 spots on her lungs. she's never smoked. And a big mass on her liver. They're going to do a biopsy soon. I am praying with all my heart these things are benign. She's only 36 and has two small children. You never know what the good Lord is going to throw your way. Last week everything was in transition about something else. This week we are confronted with this. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to you.

Hi dear!
happy Mother's Day...
God bless you and your husband,

Also wish I would have known about the marshmallow curing a sore throat. I'm going to have to try that
those were such brilliant ideas.
thanks for sharing.

OK, my first thought:
Why don't they bake bread on Wednesday?
As for the whole post, it's WONDERFUL. I didn't know a single one of those. Wonder if the bounce works for gnats too? They are really bad this year!
That spoon trick is good to know!
Just back home from being on a mother visiting trip and had no internet... I'll be praying in the holding pattern... love and hugs ~ t.
Those are some great ideas! Some I had heard about before but some I hadn't. Very fun.
xo Catherine
Those were some great tips, Sandie! I really like the ones about the frozen beef,wooden spoon, and bound sheet! Mosquitoes love me...I'll have to try this.
I hope you had a great Mother's Day!♥
Love all of these interesting facts... thank you! Hoping all goes well with your hubby. :)
these are awesome ideas, some of them who would have thought. the mason jar with the blender, I just through mine in the garbage, dang... clever!
Great tips, thanks a million for posting them,
will defintely be using the woooden spoon one!

Like Katy said. I cannot open source neither. It says can cause hackers and so forth. Just on your sourses it reads. Are you aware of this?
