    41. To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox, or 2 Bayer aspirin, or just use 7-up instead of water.

    42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered
    which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday = Green, Thursday = Red
    Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color (Blue- Green - Red - White & Yellow,) Monday through Saturday. Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

    Okay, this is going to save me money. Talk about multiple uses. I don't have to feel like I'm splurging buying those Ponds or Biore strips anymore, glue is so much cheaper. LOL! I tried it and it worked .
    I didn't know about that bread twistie tie thing either, that's pretty cool. Will have to keep that in mind. Especially since I went and looked at the bread I bought yesterday and it has a GREEN tie.
