Winter tricks I didn't get to use this year

Before winter started I prepared for possible harsh weather by anticipating and preparing...but winter this year has been warm and dry so I'll have to keep these tricks in mind for next year.

Keep your headlights clear with car wax, just wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains water repellents that prevent mess and gunk from accumulating. The wax lasts about 6 months.
   
Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol! Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence & clarity.

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar! Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water & spritz it on all your windows at night. In the morning, they'll be clear of icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the freezing point of water ---preventing frost from forming!
Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray! Spray cooking oil (corn oil-based) on the rubber seals around car doors & rub it in with a paper towel. The cooking spray prevents water from freezing onto the rubber

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream! Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your windshield & wipe it off with paper towels, leaving no smears. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer! Just put some hand sanitizer gel on the key & the lock and your problem is solved!

A story to consider

With a grateful hat tip to "Old NFO"

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. 

He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

"One is Evil -  It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

"The other is Good -  It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."


Doesn't get much simpler than that...

A call for unisex soap

A while back My Lady and I stopped at a local drugstore to buy some personal care items. As we were wandering the isles I was startled to find that while the products were all in the same part of the store there were important differences in the store layout as to where various lotions and soaps can be found.

In order for us to find the product we wanted we first had to determine what part of our bodies we wanted to treat and then decide what gender we are. It is not enough to intend to purchase moisturizer or soap; you must determine if you want it for your face, body, or feet, and from there whether it’s soap or a moisturizer for a man’s parts or a woman’s.

So my question is: Is Ivory soap male or female?
