I feel a lot better now, knowing you’re not making that drive by yourself.
You are going to so enjoy yourselves.
Thank you, Jinxy. If I had been there more than once to our son’s home, I might have felt more comfortable about it. I was afraid I’d get lost in that huge city...and it’s such a long drive, too.
We plan on having some fun. Now that Piper isn’t “brand new” and it’s not below freezing, we can get out with her. I will probably want to buy some stuff for her. Gotta do a little spoiling, doncha know! LOL!
REMOVE WATER OR HEAT MARKS ON WOOD SURFACES (You Know, Those White Marks)
1.) Polish with pure lemon oil. Find a brand called o’cedar, we were told it’s the best brand.
2.) Use Wright’s silver polish, diluted slightly; apply gently, let stand and wipe dry.
3.) Use spirits of camphor.
4.) Mix cigar and or cigarette ashes with a couple of drops of water and make a paste. Rub lightly on the mark to remove.
5.) Try a paste of baking soda and water and use as above in number 4.
6.) Try as above using toothpaste.
7.) Again as above using mayonnaise.
GET RID OF SAND AND GRIT FROM CLAMS
Add corn meal to the soaking water. This will irritate the clams and they will expel the sand and grit while trying to get rid of the corn meal.
ADDITIONAL USES FOR BOUNCE FABRIC SOFTENER
