  • Do you feel reality shows have

    • From: celia
    • Description:

      Hi Jenny,

      I haven't watched this jungle obscenity since the first series because it was so pointless, and the cruelty involved shocked me.

      I don't feel sorry for the 'celebrities' because if they didn't know what they were getting themselves into when they entered the programme, they must have been living on the moon. They are only doing it to increase their public profile and hence their income.

      The celebrities can say no before they sign a contract, and even once there. The animals ca

  • Do you feel reality shows have

    • From: Jenny
    • Description:

      My family like to watch 'I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here' - and although I don't approve of the show, I still find myself watching it. The television has a magnetic effect.

      There is a lot of cruelty to animals on the show. And the celebrities are treated very badly - almost like animals in a zoo for our entertainment. And even worse - the public seem to join in with the cruelty.

      For three evenings running Katie Price has been asked to endure horrendous tasks - she's crying, shaking, and ge

  • Ant killer for Celia

    • From: ivan
    • Description:
      Difficulty: Moderately Easy
      Instructions

      Things You'll Need:

      • Borax or boric acid
      • Glass jar with tight-fitting lid
      • Bottle caps
      • Honey
      • Sugar

        Making and Setting Borax Ant Bait Traps Indoors

      1. Step 1

        Spoon some borax into bottle caps, filling them about halfway.

      2. Step 2

        Set the baits wherever you've seen ants in your home, particularly bathrooms, the kitchen and the laundry area. Excellent locations include inside kitchen cabinets where greases or sweets are kept, under all of your sinks and appliances, by the kitchen trash receptacle, near doorways and vents leading outside, or anywhere that moisture is present or collects.

      3. Step 3

        Check the borax ant baits daily to see if they need to be refilled.

        Making Borax Bait for Killing Outdoor Ants

      4. Step 1

        Make environmentally friendly bait for killing ants outside of your home by combining ¼ cup honey with ¼ cup sugar in a heat-resistant glass jar.

      5. Step 2

        Microwave the mixture for a minute on high, then stir. Microwave again just enough to dissolve the sugar. Stir well.

      6. Step 3

        Add ¼ cup borax by spoonfuls, stirring well after each addition. Allow the bait mixture to cool to room temperature.

      7. Step 4

        Pour 1 or 2 tbsp. of the sweet bait onto the ant mound. The sugar and honey will attract the ants to the bait, and the borax will kill them. The sugar and honey form a heavy liquid that the wind can't blow away, which is critical to the success of baits placed outdoors.

      8. Step 5

        Cap the jar tightly. Store it at room temperature for to 2 to 3 weeks

  • Follow My Heart

    • From: john
    • Description:

      Why oh why, does everyone tell me to follow my heart,

      When at the end of Lifes journey, we have to part.

      I do things right, I do things wrong,

      And even sometimes, I was right all along.

       

      So I follow my heart, as best I can,

      Maybe just to prove that I am a man.

      But I do try to be fair from my heart,

      But there is always someone, who wants to tear me apart.

       

       

      Why is life so difficult and why is life so cruel,

      Just to look at life itself, it looks like a beautiful jewel.

      But inside a very different picture, can be seen,

      There are a lot of people who are nasty and mean.

       

      So now I ask you, what more can I do,

      I have have not lied or cheated this is true.

      So why does every tell me, to follow my heart,

      It is all I have done anyway, right from the start.

      vacuum

      To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum.  It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.


       

      Reducing Static Cling

      Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when  wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and.. ta da!... static is gone.


       

      cid:C98CDF981C384646900BAB2DD3750D96@VoglerPCMeasuring Cups

      Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup.

      Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

      Foggy Windshield?cid:7568133BA36E405C8B6F4E8BB752BD6A@VoglerPC

       

      Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car.

      When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!


       

      cid:829C0A3216FC47F7A56DF0276CAE8D70@VoglerPCReopening envelope

      If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.


       

      Conditionercid:483E80E7DB814C429A0AE5161798F836@VoglerPC

       

      Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth.

      It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair..


       


       

      Get Rid of Antscid:0490DC4E4CE64962A558F929262503D3@VoglerPC

       

      Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can'tdigest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

      cid:639FB6AFF4E24B2F803A3C9E50E27AD1@VoglerPCINFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS

      The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load clothes.) He told us that he wanted to show us something else; he took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material... I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like.. Well it sat on top of the mesh! It didn't go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh that's what burns out the heating unit.You can't SEE the film, but it's there. It's what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free... that nice fragrance too. You know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box .well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months.He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!

      How about that!!

      Learn something new everyday! I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that.

      So, I thought I'd share!

      Note: I went to my dryer and tested my screen by running water on it. The water ran through a little bit but mostly collected all the water in the mesh screen. I washed it with warm soapy water and a nylon brush and I had it done in 30 seconds. Then when I rinsed it. the water ran right through the screen! There wasn't any puddling at all! That repairman knew what he was talking about!


       

      PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK.

      NOT ONLY COULD IT SAVE SOMEONE'S HOME, BUT IT COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE.

      cid:4527842003284CF0A8BB95DB8A8C8542@VoglerPCReheat Pizza

      Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm.

      This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.


       

      Easy Deviled Eggscid:FDA3FD3D51864EB282D5C0D1DABE6E8A@VoglerPC

       

      Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.


       


       

      Reheating refrigerated breadcid:5DDCFD7EC6E74E43B8AC76664A55E10F@VoglerPC

       

      To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water.

      The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.


       

      cid:63364EAA9B2841D4A99C607666739C83@VoglerPCNewspaper weeds away

      Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.


       

      Broken Glass cid:097F938EC0184D6082E5660FD9F3301B@VoglerPC

       

      Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.

      Subject: Some really good tips

       

       

       

      MAKE SURE YOU READ THE LAST ONE ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS !!!! 

         

      DID YOU KNOW?


      cid:E2C9F0293BD24BF29BAA671ADD2548AF@VoglerPCPeel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to

      pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.


       

      cid:FB784D8573554B56AEBF10FBB64525AC@VoglerPCTake your bananas apart when you get home from the store.

      If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.


       


       

      cid:271A70952A104B79ABAEB1FFB52D1AC8@VoglerPC

       

      Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil.

      It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!


       

      cid:B96944F8DE194C3AA639E8B9266C14FF@VoglerPCPeppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating.

      Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.


       


       

      Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef.

      It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.


       

      To really make scrambled eggs or omelettes rich add a couple of

      spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.

  • Does anyone need any help addi

    • From: Jenny

      Does anyone need any help adding in a photograph?

      If you are having problems adding a photograph with your blog or profile, it's very easy to do.

      Firstly, go to your own profile. On the left hand side you will see a box and the words 'edit my profile' with a pencil logo. Click on this.

      This will take you to a new screen. At the top of the screen you will see a white tool bar. Choose the phrase 'edit my account'.

      Click on this and then it will ask if you would like to upload a profile photo. It can be of yourself or a picture from Google such as a flower. Now attach the photograph of your choice. Once you have attached it, press 'Update Profile' and then you are finished.

      Wait a few minutes for the picture to upload - and then you will see it in place (this can take from 5 to 10 minutes depending on the speed of your broadband).

      If this all sounds too confusing and you are still having problems then send me an email at jennyitz@hotmail.com with the photo you would like us to include for your profile - and I'm happy to do this for you.

      Good Luck

      I am very open minded on this one.

      When I was giving birth, I was 'on my own' in the delivery suite (midwives and nurses present, but my close friend who had originally agreed to be there was too ill). Towards the end, when I was screaming and screaming, a voice came into my head telling me to stop screaming and to breathe! The way the voice was bossing me, and also how it sounded made me sure it was my friend.

      Two days later I was told that my friend had died the day before the birth.

  • The Fruits of Life

    • From: john
    • Description:

      If I could turn back time, I know what I would do,

      I would spend the rest of my life, just looking for you.

      Somehow I would find and keep you by my side,

      And make you my beautiful bride.

       

      You cannot always have what you want, What more can I say,

      Life is like a forbidden fruit, it is something you want anyway.

      To look at you, as if from afar,

      It is like looking up to the sky, at a beautiful star.

       

      You are the forbidden fruit to me,

      I will do my utmost just to keep you happy.

      You are to me, the forbidden fruit of life,

      That is why I am happy, to call you my wife.

       

      As my tempting fruit of life, you are so special to me,

      All I hope in my life, to you it is plain to see.

      That my love for you will go on forever,

      And I will be there for you, and leave you never.

  • Rainbows

    • From: john
    • Description:

      Why do most of us love, to look at rainbows,

      I do not think really, anybody knows.

      Maybe it is the natural beauty, of it all,

      The colours are so lovely, even when the rain falls.

       

      Why do rainbows seem so peaceful, and serene,

      They do not look at all, cruel and mean.

      For they are one the natural things around us,

      So there is no way, we need to create a fuss.

       

      Most of us do not appreciate, the wonders of a rainbow,

      We only take it as heresay, Like I told you so.

      So why not enjoy, one of the true wonders of our time,

      For while it lasts, its beauty never seems to decline.

       

      A rainbow sadly, does eventually go away,

      Would it not be lovely, if it were here to stay.

      So we have to wait, until the next one shows its face,

      And yet once again, nothing will be out of place.
