Cooking with Onions

This will help a lot for those who use onions in their cooking and salads. If you store onions in a plastic bag in your refrigerator for a couple of days before using them, you'll protect your eyes from onion tears and your hands from onion smell.

Too Many Plastic Sacks

Purchase and use the grocery/department store CLOTH bags. Plastic bags are littering the fields, roadways, forests and waterways. Plastic bags can seriously harm and kill wildlife. They get caught in farmers' field equipment. Cloth bags are lightweight and washable, and they are much easier to carry than the plastic ones.

Don't Lose Your Car in the Parking Lot

I helped an elderly lady find her car, just a day ago. If this happens to you, don't forget to press your "panic" button on your car key remote. Your lights will blink and the horn will blow. You'll find your vehicle!

Keep ID on You

In some locations, if you get stopped by the police, you need a picture ID at all times. A friend was a passenger in a car and didn't have ID on her, and she was taken to jail. She was told, you must have ID at all times or you can be arrested. It cost her a $100 fine.

Donate old Halloween costumes to a day-care center or family center. The kids will love playing dress-up with them.

Marriage

I came from the "Love means never having to say you're sorry" era (Love Story, the movie). So, as a young bride, my Mom told me the following: "Marriages may be made in Heaven, but they have to be maintained on Earth." I'm sure at the age of 20, I rolled my eyes at this saying of hers. Some 34 years later, I've passed this advice on to both our son and daughter as they prepared to marry and have also enclosed the sentiment in bridal shower & wedding cards.

Cold Feet

When I am sitting and find that my feet are cold, I just pop my socks in the microwave. I always make sure I monitor them so they don't get too hot or burn. About a minute later, toasty toesies! :D
