BATHROOM DRAIN CLEANER

Here's a great tip that I got from one of my home hints books. You make this safe solution and you don't have to worry about smelly or unsafe chemicals. This is one of my favorites.

1 cup of salt

1 cup of baking soda

1/2 cup of white vinegar

2 qts. of boiling water

Hot tap water

Mix the soda , salt and vinegar together, and pour the mixture down the drain. Wait 15 minutes, then follow with the boiling water. Turn on the hot water tap and let it run into the drain for 1 minute. For really stubborn clogs repeat as necessary.

I still haven't been able to go visit my mother yet because this cold bacteria seems to have found a home in my body. Marcy bought me some Mucinex today so hopefully I'll have a little more relief. Our nephew, Stevie, is coming to visit us from Pittsburgh with his little girl on Saturday and I surely want to be better for that. Plus, Marcy and I are trying to get ready for our flea market venture and have to get things together for that. Plus, Jackee and Irwin want to take Bill and I to Florida with them on Thursday for the weekend. Well, we'll see how this old body handles all of this. Anyhow, now I am going to bed and rest. I have cooked dinner, cleaned the kitchen and finished my loads of wash. Marcy is cataloging and getting our inventory ready for our venture. We are really looking forward to it. Goodnight all!!!

ABOUT US

Chris and I became friends over 20 years ago when we were neighbors in the Philippines. We were living there with our families because of our husbands' jobs with Westinghouse. In fact, we were next door neighbors on the compound that we lived in. After returning Stateside, we were lucky enough to have Westinghouse assign our husbands to the same work site. Our husbands are good friends, also. We enjoy each other and feel fortunate to be blessed with such good, loving friends in our lives.

We cannot take credit for the helpful hints, tips or recipes that we put in. These are an accumulation of ones that we have collected over the years and still collect. We won't mind if someone needs a hint or recipe that we haven't posted yet and they want us to try to find it for them. In fact, we would like the challenge!

Chris and I have always loved to collect cookbooks, recipes and hints. You would not believe the number of books and newspaper and magazine clippings that we have. Plus, Dennis, Chris's husband, loves to cook and has some to add to the mix. I know there are those of you out there that have the same sort of collection. I was getting ready to get rid of some unneeded things I have around here and get ready for my huge annual Thanksgiving event. I thought I would share this with "the world" and Chris feels the same way. (Her and I are so much alike, it's scarey sometimes. To our husbands, that is!) Plus both of us are Taurus! Chris might even have some decorating tips for you because she is great at that. That is something that just doesn't come to me and I turn to her.

If you would like to comment on any of our postings, please do. We would love to know who is reading them and if they may in some way be of help. Or just entertaining to someone. We would love to know what you think of our little project.
