Silly little things I've learned along the way....

3. Never label a videotape "private". (HAHA..I didn't have to learn that one myself, I learned it from a friend of mine)

4. To the females...on the days you just want to make a "quick trip" to the grocery store with sweats on, no make-up, and a pony-tail--be advised that it's as good as advertising for an impromptu class reunion. You WILL see people you haven't seen in years.

5. Steer INTO the skid, people. Steer INTO it.

Underwire bras are one of the greatest inventions ever. However, each and every under wire decides the time and the place when it will escape from your bra (and it's usually the most inconvenient time possible for the bra-wearer). At that point, the bra turns into an instrument of torture.

When you're mowing, bees have no way of knowing that you aren't the enemy. They seemingly become convinced that you're trying to destroy their habitat and that you must be destroyed instead.

When you decide to work for your parents, make sure they supply workman's comp....in case you get attacked by a swarm of bees or something.

The good news...I got off work early today!

Trust,

The same goes for using Joy in a dishwasher - I know!

If you run out of laundry soap, and are forced to use a very, very small amount of Joy in your clothes washer....

Do not wait until your child comes in proclaiming that it's "SNOWING IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM!" to check to see how your washer handles a very, very small amount of Joy.

I needed to mop anyway, but COME ON.

My mom has done that before, actually and that's why I knew to use a very, very small amount (not that it helped!)

That's an easy (but time-consuming) "fix".

I'll give it out in case anyone else ever has that experience.

Get a bucket and remove ALL the standing water in the bottom of your dishwasher. Dry off the bottom with a towel and make sure there isn't any remaining soap in the soap dispenser part.

Pour in a cup of white vinegar and about 3 TBSP of oil (I believe we used olive oil).

Then coat the entire bottom of the dishwasher with table salt (a thin layer).

Run the machine for 1 minute and if excess bubbles (there will be SOME) are still forming, you have to repeat the process (I didn't have to do it more than once).

Voila! Vinegar and oil kill bubbles and the salt takes the oil you used out of your machine.

I've never had a bumper sticker. Never will.

When I reunited with my husband after 19 years, he had one that said "Come the rapture, we'll have the earth to ourselves!" Wiccans love that one.

I don't think I have ever seen that one. If they only knew the truth.
