The Bathtub Test
It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself
from time to time, and
this should help get you started. During a visit
to the mental asylum,
a visitor asked the Director what the criterion
was which defined
whether or not a patient should be
institutionalized.
'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub,
then we offer a teaspoon,
a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him
or her to empty the
bathtub.'
'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor. 'A normal
person would use the bucket
because it's bigger than the spoon or the
teacup.'
'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would
pull the plug. Do you want
a bed near the window?'"

HouseHold Tips
From one of my email lists.....
1. Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent drips
2. use a baster to put pancake batter on griddle
3. Put an apple in a bag of potatoes to prevent budding ( A GREAT ONE)
4. put a pinch of salt in when boiling eggs to prevent cracking
5. Spray Tupperware with Pam before adding spaghetti sauces or tomatoes. It wont stain
6. Drop a peeled potatoe into any dish you have accidentally over salted. it will absorb
the excess salt
7. Use rubber gloves to open jars it helps make it easier
8. Heat soggy chips n pretzel in microwave for 30 seconds. let sit for 2 minutes
9. Use a crock pot to freshen chips too. 2-4 hours Uncovered...mmm warm too
10. Substitute 1/3 Cup of cocoa powder, 2 Tablespoons sugar and 2 Tablespoons
of butter or margarine FOR 3 ounces of Semi-sweet chocolate
11. Use Evaporated Milk half and half with water as you would Fresh milk in recipes
(it IS fresh milk with 60 % water removed)
when slightlly frozen, evaporated milk can be WHIPPED and used as a frugal
substitute for whipped cream after adding a little sugar
12. Cut stale bagels in half horzontially. Spread with peanut butter and dip in birdseed.
Hang in trees.........birdies love 'em
13. Mix a CUP of butter and a CUP of Flour. Spread into an ice cube container and
Freeze. Drop 1 cube into a cup of milk in a pan to make white sauce . Stirring till thick
14. Place celery sticks UNDER your chicken or turkey and it wont stick to pan.

How Much Have You Changed in 10 Years?
| You've Changed 84% in 10 Years |
 You're practically a new person these days, and no one from your past may even be around to notice. You've moved on, changed your life, and totally transformed your personality - probably all for the better! |

"In Richardson, Texas State Trooper was running
radar. He had a perfect
spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting
any. Then he discovered
the problem. A 12 year old boy was standing up
the road with a hand
painted sign which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD!'
The officer later found a young accomplice down
the road with a sign
reading, 'TIPS' and a bucket full of money.
BETTER
A motorist was mailed a picture of his car
speeding through an automated
radar post in Plano, Texas. A $40 speeding ticket
was included. Being
cute, he sent the police department a picture of
$40. The police
responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
BEST
A young woman was pulled over in Austin, Texas
for speeding. As the TX
State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping
open his ticket book,
she said, 'I bet you are going to sell me a
ticket to the Texas State
Police Ball.' He replied, 'Ma'am, Texas State
Troopers don't have
balls.' There was a moment of silence while she
smiled and he realized
what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got
back in his patrol car
and left....
She was laughing too hard to start her car."
