We had nearly 7″ inches of rain

and this was the county road

to our farm.

In less than five hours,

the water just about gone and the farm accessible.

how about this warranty

I bought a chalk string line with the a 100 year warranty.   I’m keeping the Proof of Purchase just in case I need to file a claim in 100 years.

Tips

============ ========= ========= =====
For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: Get warm water and put Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won’t
refreeze. (Wish I had known this for the last 40 years!).
============ ========= ========= =====
To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out.

============ ========= ========= =====
Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort (elbow grease that is!).
============ ========= ========= =====
Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt
BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.
============ ========= ========= =====
Whenever I purchase a box of S.O.S Pads, I immediately take a pair of scissors and cut each pad into halves. After years of having to throw
away rusted and unused and smelly pads, I finally decided that this would be much more economical. Now a box of S.O.S pads last me indefinitely! In fact, I have noticed that the scissors get ‘sharpened” this way! 
============ ========= ========= =====
Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen
peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works
every time! (Now, where to put the body???) LOL 
============ ========= ========= =====
Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.. Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don’t wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak. 
============ ========= ========= =====
Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely a light scent in each room when the light is turned on.
============ ========= ========= =====
Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.
============ ========= ========= =====
Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3
hours prior to burning.
============ ========= ========= =====
To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt
and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm!
============ ========= ========= =====
To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top. 
============ ========= ========= =====
Spray your TUPPERWARE withnonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won’t be any stains. I do this all the time and it works great!!
============ ========= ========= =====
Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
============ ========= ========= =====
When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn’s natural sweetness.
============ ========= ========= =====
Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your
forehead.. The throbbing will go away. (I prefer to soak the lime in
Gin and rub it on my tongue first) (not sure who put the statement in red here) AMEN!!!!
============ ========= ========= =====
Don’t throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future
use in casseroles and sauces…Left over wine? What’s that? 🙂
============ ========= ========= =====
To get rid of itch from mosquito bites,try applying soap on the area
and you will experience instant relief.
============ ========= ========= =====
Ants, ants, ants everywhere. Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.
============ ========= ========= =====
Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still,
leaves a lovely smell to the shine.
============ ========= ========= =====
When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to
tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and
then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily. True!
============ ========= ========= =====
Now look what you can do with Alka Seltzer…Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. 
============ ========= ========= =====
Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water, and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
============ ========= ========= =====
Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and
immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
============ ========= ========= =====
Clean a thermos bottle.. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka
Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (Or longer, if necessary).
============ ========= ========= =====
Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer
tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar.
Wait a few minutes, and then run the hot water.
============ ========= ========= =====

A LITTLE TEST FOR YOU…..Colgate has created a very ingenious advertising campaign to promote their dental floss. Look at the 3 photos below. What do you see? Now that you had time to observe the photos, what did you notice? In the first one the woman has one finger too many on her hand. In the second photo, a phantom arm is floating across the man’s shoulder. In the third photo, the man has only one ear. The advertising campaign’s purpose was to prove that when food remains on your teeth, it draws more attention than any physical defect. How did you do spotting the irregularities?

Talking Dog for Sale

A guy is driving around Lufkin, Tx when he sees a sign in front of a house:
“Talking Dog For Sale.”

He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador sitting there.

“You talk?” he asks.

“Yes,” the Lab replies.

“So, what’s the story?”

The Lab looks up and says: “Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running.” “But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn’t getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.” “I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a load of puppies, and now I’m just retired.”

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

“Ten dollars,” the man says.

“Ten dollars? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?”

“Because he’s a liar and jokester. He never did any of that.
