Lysol Wipes

2010-03-31T17:24:00.000-07:00

1) roll Bounty paper towels (these seem to hold up the best; I've also heard that Viva towels do pretty well)
(1) Rubbermaid #6 square container & lid, or other similar size (10-cup) container with tight-fitting lid
(2) cups water
(1) ounce Lysol all-purpose cleaner (according to the bottle, this 1:16 dilution will give you hospital-grade disinfecting)

You'll also need a long serated knife (like a bread knife), an electric knife, or a small hacksaw. (I use a long serated bread knife.)

Begin by cutting the roll of paper towels in half, so that you end up with two shorter rolls. (It may help if you cut down through the paper all the way around until you hit the cardboard tube in the middle, and then cut through the cardboard tube.) Brush any loose "fuzzies" off the cut ends, and trim any large clumps with scissors if desired. You'll only need one half of the roll right now; save the other half.

Add the water and Lysol in your container, and swirl to mix (do not shake - you'll make suds).

Next, turn your half roll with the cut side down and gently fold in the sides of the cardboard tube in the middle of the paper towel roll until you can pull it out of the center. It will pull up the inside end of the towel roll with it, and that's just what you want.

Place your roll cut side down in the container with your cleaner and water mixture, and close the lid. Allow the paper towel roll to soak up all the liquid (about 30-60 minutes). Then turn your container upside down for 1-2 hours so that the cleaning mixture can saturate all of the roll. Once it's done, turn it right-side up and you're ready to go - just grab the towels from the inside of the roll, tear off as many as needed, and replace the lid.

Depending on how quickly you go through these, you may need to add just a little water periodically to keep the towels moist.

You can, of course, substitute other brands of cleaners if you'd like. Just be careful that you don't mix different cleaners together. Or if you would rather stay away from the chemicals in the Lysol, you can try this recipe for the cleaning mixture:

1 tsp baking soda
2-5 drops dish soap
3 Tbsp. white vinegar
2-3 cups water

Be sure to label all containers and keep out of reach of small children.

Costco Shopping Trip

2010-02-18T06:34:00.000-08:00

From an e-mail I recieved -Candi

Yesterday I was at my local COSTCO buying a large bad of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, Biscuit, the Wonder Dog and was in the checkout line when a MAN behind me asked if I had a dog.
What did HE think I had, and elephant? So since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told HIM that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms.
I told HIM that is was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that i works is to lad you pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat on or tow every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my storey.) Horrified, HE asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told HIM no, I stepped off a cub to sniff and Irish Setter's behind and a car hit us both.
I thought the guy behind HIM was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard.
Costco won't let me shop there anymore.
Better watch what you ask retired people.
They have all the time in the world to think of crazy things to say.
