Tips from Terri

If you want to have fresh herbs in the winter four soups and stews? Chop fresh herbs up when they're available and put them in ice cube trays, fill the trays with water and freeze. Afterward take them out of the trays and put in zip bags to toss in your soups and stews all winter long.

Want fresh squeezed juice for sauces, homemade lemonade, orange juice, lime drinks. and such? Buy the citrus when it's on sale, squeeze them and freeze in ice cube trays. Put them in a zip bag and toss them into sauces and juices as you need to keep from watering them down.

Got gum on your carpet or your furniture? Take an ice cube and rub it over the gum until it gets hard and brittle then break it off in chunks. It should come right up.

Don't throw away those used dryer sheets. Put liquid fabric softener in a spray bottle and spray your old dryer sheets. Allow them to dry and re-use them as you would a new one. It works great!

Want some colorful icecubes for those summer drinks? Zest lemons, limes, and oranges and put the zest into ice cube trays fill with water and freeze. Use them in your drinks for a pretty addition to the glass.
Tips on using Peroxide...
Most of us have used this product for years for certain things. The health benefits of peroxide.
This was sent to me through an email, I hope it helps you in some way.
I do not guarantee anything that is said here, I just wanted to pass it on…
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold
in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe)
No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes.
Use it instead of mouthwash. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right
on the bottle)
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of
germs.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a
fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it
on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill
salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of
peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for >five to ten minutes several
times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any
medicine, but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep
it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach
or most other disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever
you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria.
Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put
a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several
times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50
solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have
the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but more natural
highlights if your hair is a light brown, faddish, or dirty blonde. It also lightens
gradually so it's not a drastic change.
11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other
skin infections.
12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in
your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the
soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water.
Repeat if necessary.
13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors, and there is no smearing which is why
I love it so much for this.

School Lunch

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:

"Take only ONE. God is watching."

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.

A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

One for the ladies

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, “What setting do I use on the washing machine?"

"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"

He yelled back, "University of Oklahoma."

And they say blondes are dumb...
A couple is lying in bed. The man says, "I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world." The woman replies, "I'll miss you."


"It's just too hot to wear clothes today," Jack says as he stepped out of the shower, "Honey, what do you think the neighbors would think if I mowed the lawn like this?"

"Probably that I married you for your money," she replied.

A man and his wife, now in their 60's, were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. On their special day a good fairy came to them and said that because they had been so good that each one of them could have one wish. The wife wished for a trip around the world with her husband.

Whoosh! Immediately she had airline/cruise tickets in her hands.

The man wished for a female companion 30 years younger...Whoosh...immediately he turned ninety!!! Gotta love that fairy!

A PRAYER....

Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods. Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I’ll beat him to death. AMEN

Should little children witness child birth?

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very, very dark, so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-year-old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her Mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.

Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Ricky was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom.Ricky began to cry.

The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.

Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place...smack his butt again!"

"Vet Call"

A distraught dog owner called a vet pleading for an immediate appointment. He explained that his dog had a large growth or swelling near the corner of its mouth, so he was told to bring the animal over.

When the man came in with his pet, the vet examined the dog as he stood by,

anxiously waiting. At last the vet turned to him and asked, "Do you have any children?"

"Oh, good grief, is it contagious?" he gasped.

"No," answered the vet, "It's bubble gum."

Terri's Tidbits

The tongue is the strongest muscle in the human body; use yours to lift someone up today.

If silence breeds misunderstanding, then communication is the birth control.

You can be your own biggest enemy or your own greatest ally.

If you let your child fail and fall, you are not being a bad parent, you are teaching them to be responsible for their actions.
