42. When you go to buy bread in thegrocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you 'squeeze' for freshness or softness?Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue Tuesday = Green Thursday = Red Friday = White Saturday = Yellow. So, if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)!The colors go alphabetically by colour Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember.I thought this was interesting.I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors.You learn something new everyday!Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.
Don't forget Gatorade for Migraine Headaches.PowerAde won't work.Thanks Mom for sending this. Think I'll try the Slinky idea! =0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0
recycle bleach water 5 times ! :
from 1) Laundry soak to 2) quick wipe down of any bleach safe surface area 3) floor mopping to 4) freshen drains & 5) clean toilet
Take the clothes from your soaking pail (or other) & wring them out & toss in the washer THEN grab your sponge or cloth & saturate it in the laundry soak water & wipe down any number of bleach safe places or items THEN grab your mop & do the floor real quick THEN pour a little of it down your drains to freshen them THEN tump the bleach water into the toilet & either allow it to sit a little while & swish or swish it right then (depending how busy your bathrooms are)
Yes.By the time the bleach water ends up in the toddy it is dirty but still bleachy & the floor dirt that's in it will be flushed down instead of poured down a sink to not serve any real purpose.
Home made floral preservative
1-2 drops bleach 1 tsp sugar a squeeze of lemon juice or couple drops of vinegar
