Also, to get gum out of a rug - freeze it; put an ice cube on it and when the gum hardens sufficiently, you should be able to remove it from the rug without leaving a mess. If you want to get candle wax out of your carpet place a white towel over the wax and go back and forth over the towel a couple times with a hot iron the wax come right out of the carpet and onto the towel. How do you then get the wax out of the towel?

[quote=Sicilian Babe]Since you never know when you're going to touch your privates, I'd go with Geoff's advice! Very true, because it's an almost constant thing! More so for men. God, how sexist! When will we men ever be able to cast off the cloak of second class citizenship and be respected for our minds? [/quote] Actually, I was referring to the standing/urinating thing. But, sure, go ahead with your dirty mind.

So you don't worry about ruining a towel, a brown paper bag works very well, too. I spilled candle wax on my mother's brand new carpet when I was a kid, and this does work very well. I didn't know that a brown bag will work also. I just use a old towel that was gonna get thrown out anyways.

Yes, but be careful, LN. My boss did that on a business trip once. He hung his suit on the shower rod and then turned on the shower and closed the door. While he was in the bedroom, his wool pants slipped off the hanger and fell into the tub, and consequently shrunk, shrunk, shrunk. He had to run out and buy a new suit before his meeting!

Don't have an iron or you're lazy and have wrinkly clothes? Hang them up in the bathroom and take a shower.
Yeah, but then your skin comes out wrinkly.

My dad's worked for Butternut for awhile, and he taught me how to tell which bread is more fresh. There's a color code subtly incorporated through the bread tie. The color of the tie represents the day on which the bread was baked:
Monday - blue
Tuesday - green
Thursday - red
Friday - white
Saturday - yellow
Wonderbread has the same code, but I think other companies are probably different.
This should be the same for most bread at the supermarket. And to help you remember, the colors are in alphabetical order. BGRWY for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Anyone know if this is true?

What color is Wednesday?  That's interesting. I haven't heard of it before. I'll keep a look out. I do like to have fresh bread if possible.  TIS They don't bake bread on Wednesday... I guess, it is against their religion 
 He - (Simón BolÃvar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

For Students:
About making your papers longer: Use Courier New or some other mono spaced font (as opposed to a variable width font). You're getting cheated out of precious paper space with every letter except "W".
Also, Make your periods and commas a size 14 font while the text is size 12.
For Wannabe Cheaters: MS Word and probably every other word processing software can tell anyone how many words are in a paper. If you or your teacher are concerned only about how many words are in a paper, neither should be in education. Using a monospaced font like Courier makes papers more difficult on the eyes which doesn't make a good impression on whomever is grading it, it also fools no one, and it actually uses up more paper in the long run, therefore killing more trees. Instead of making your papers appear longer, make them more intelligent. 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

I agree papers should be intelligent instead of based on a length of pages or words, but tell that to my professors. TIP: Want to shave after you've just taken a shower now that your pores are all nice and expanded? Wait! The mirror is fogged up! Put some shaving cream on the mirror and then wipe it off with a towel. Clears it up and it stays clear! I just did this (typing NAKED right now!) and I was surprised at how well it worked, it seems to clean the mirror too.

Treat everybody nice as you go up the ladder in life. That way if you ever come back down the ladder,people will remember you were nice and not gloat over your demise. I don't know if this works because i am still at the bottom of the damn ladder but i'm still always nice I have always found that those at the top of the ladder have greased the rungs below them. So that's the secret eh? Greasy buggers!!! 
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!
