laugh
My birth came as quite a
surprise. I didn’t even have a chance to
dress for it.
Twenty-two of my friends and I
went to a costume party dressed as circus clowns.
That way we could all go in one car.
Money can’t buy happiness.
It just helps you look for it in more places. -

Talkin'
Mornin',
Over the years our
household has accumulated a collection of
ladders. I suppose most homeowners are blessed
with the same joy of ownership. I’d guess as
investments ladders don’t make a lot of
sense, ya only use ‘em a few times a year
and the rest of the time they just sit around
takin’ up space. The real benefit is not
monetary, but just plain handy.As hard as they are to lose, the
question of "where’s the ladder"
seems to pop up on a regular basis, followed by
the "which one" response. The little
step, the big little step, the little big step,
the big step, Grandpa’s old one, the new
one, or the extension?
I’ve tried those,
there’s just that one spot that I can’t
quite get too. I still need one just a little
longer.
This is some fact, but mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Here's
A Tip
By JoAnn Derson• "To clean blinds -- and keep
them clean longer -- use sheets of fabric
softener made for use in the dryer. The material
is lint free, and the softener in it reduces
static cling, as in dust clinging to those
blinds. I do this a couple of times a year."
-- S.L. in Indiana
• Keep track of the
capacity and dimensions of your cookware by using
a permanent marker to notate the specifications
on the bottom of each baking container. This way,
when a recipe calls for a 13-by-9-inch baking
dish or a 2-quart casserole dish, you can easily
tell which one you need. This is especially
important if you don’t spend a lot of time
cooking.
• "I use baking soda
to scour my kitchen sink. Then I rinse it down
with a little vinegar. It cleans up really nicely
and leaves the drains fresh." -- J.C. in
California
• "To loosen grime in
the shower, run the shower on hot for a few
minutes and then use a cleaner. The heat makes it
easier to clean. Or you can clean up the shower
just before you clean yourself up." -- T.G.
in Texas
• "To make sure you
don’t get any slipped stitches when you are
interrupted while knitting or crocheting, just
clip the work at the needle with a clothespin. It
stays put, and you can pick it right back up
after you’re done taking a break." --
C.C. in Arkansas
• "My brother is
always late for lunch when we get together. I
started telling him that I would meet him at a
certain time, and then I really went to the
meeting place 20 minutes after that time. I
don’t wait as long now." -- P.L. in
Michigan
