TODAY'S TIP(s): HOUSEHOLD Department
Rubber Soles & Antacid Ants
* If you're using a ladder against the side of your house and you don't
want to scratch the paint or damage the stonework put socks over the end
of the ladder.
Tim says: even better, try an old pair of tennis shoes with rubber
soles.
* Replace your white light bulbs with yellow ones. Insects don't see
these colors as well as others so they're not as attracted to the light
as they are when white lights are used.
* Rub sandpaper on your windshield blades to keep them from making your
windshield smeary.
* Remove paint from hair or skin by dabbing a cotton ball dipped in
olive to the affected area.

Tim says: try olive oil to remove greasy stuff from your hands, too.

If you put apple cider vinegar on an ant bite immediately after you get
bit, it won't make a sore.

When you get an insect bite, rub Mylanta on it. I've tried it a dozen
times and it really works.

{{{ TODAY'S GRIPE }}}
Here's my gripe:
When I arrive at church before the Mass has started and find a pew where
someone is sitting at the end. I say "excuse me" to get into the pew.
They act like it's a big deal to move over, or they get out of the pew
and give me a look like they own the pew. Are these the same people who
will swear at other drivers when they don't get out of the parking lot
immediately?
--submitted by C. Neely
Tim says: I don't know about swearing at other drivers, but these are
the same folks who get there first and then sit in the aisle seats at
theatres. The ones who then stand up in place (as opposed to stepping
briefly out into the aisle) for us to get past them. I'm not
particularly fond of rubbing up against strangers in a dark theatre.

TODAY'S BLONDE JOKE
"You are suffering form what is technically known as an 'Electra
Complex,'" the psychiatrist says to his blonde patient. "In other words,
you are in love with your father."
The blonde breaks down into hysterical sobbing.
"Now, now," comforts the doctor. "It's not all that bad."
"Oh -- yes, YES, it is," blurts out the blonde between sobs. "I have no
chance at all. He's a married man!"
