    My great uncle died st 105 and was the inventor of and had patented (in the US) the valve that makes hot and cold water come out of the same faucet. I lived in Victorian buildings in San Francisco and often had the two faucet system; it was awful. Thank goodness for Uncle Dickel ❤

    When I was younger, I remember adults using the expression, "mind your P's and Q's. It seemed like a more polite way of saying 'mind your own business', or 'behave yourself'. But I never really knew. 40 years later at a party I heard someone telling the story. The expression was started and used by British bartender's, someone drinking beer and getting a little loud or out of hand were told to "Mind their Pints and Quarts", the 2 sizes of containers beer was served in. Who knew!! LOL

      by British (bartender's) = bartender is? The plural for bartender is bartenders. Also it was not so much about those getting loud or out of hand, it was primarily in reference to those who were running a tab to 'mind their P's & Q's' they are going to have to account for and pay in full, which they can easily lose track of when the drinks are flowing freely.

      I was taught it was derived from the typesetting industry. Typesetters put little metal letters (called “sorts”) in a frame to make the words that get printed so you can then read books, magazines and newspapers. They have to do it backwards, though, so it will appear the proper way when printed. When setting these sorts backwards, “p” looks like “q” and “q” looks like “p” and it’s easy to make mistakes. Ergo “mind your Ps and Qs”. Also- the typesetter had to hope he didn’t run out of the most common letters (e, l, t, n etc.) before he reached the end of the page. If he did, you can be sure he felt “out of sorts”. I dunno, but it seems to me to be less far fetched and make more sense than “pints and quarts”.

    I noticed two small spots of fresh blood on a new white cotton bed quilt. My arm was bleeding where something had bitten me. I put peroxide on cotton balls and dabbed them on the blood on the quilt. I did this several times and the blood began to disappear. Then I put a clean wash rag into cold water and rung it out and dabbed the cold cloth on the spots. Soon all the blood stain was totally gone and you couldn’t even see where it had been.

    As someone who grew up on an island, spent extensive time on ships of all kinds and sizes, and raised rodents as a kid there is no way in hell that rat guard things work. They would slow them down but they would never keep them out. I've never seen them on any boats here, ever. Rats can jump at least as high as your head and they can squeeze down into spaces so small you'd never believe it.

    While hiking on the Appalachian trail I got a couple of small cuts on my legs. I only had 3 band -aids which didn't last long. Found a tube of medicated lip balm and when the band-aids ran out I rubbed the cuts with the balm.
    Not only did it help keep dirt out but I noticed the cuts started healing faster than using antibiotic cream.
    Now I keep a tube with me most of the time.

    One of my favorite hidden features on cars is an arrow indicating the side with the gas cap. Look at your gas gauge, right there next to the E is an arrow indicating which side of the car the gas cap is located. It doesn't really matter on your own car because you probably know which side the gas cap is on, but it is very handy if you ever rent a car.

    POOL NOODLES are also perfect for protecting tree trunks on new tiny trees - just cut to length and cut a slit up the side to slide it on; protects it from nibbling deer, and often you won't have to stake the tree or, if you do, protects the cord from cutting into the bark. Besides, the bright colors will hopefully keep idiots from driving/mowing/weed eating it down. ALSO... cut lengths of pool noodles as boot trees to keep them from wrinkling, sagging or flopping over.

    Frenches mustard is good for burns. Years ago, when I worked at Walmart I was heating up a cup of water in the Micro wave oven for my instant coffee. As I reached in and was pulling it towards me it caught on the rim of the turn table and tipped, boiling water splashed onto my midriff right through my clothes. The boiling water had melted my skin away on that spot and the pain was excruciating. One of my coworkers ran and bought a bottle of Frenches mustard
    smeared it all over my burned skin. The mustard soothed the injury and days later there was absolutely no scar, just pink skin.

    That "command sign" is used in the Nordic countries for a cultural/historical important site. A museum, a castle, an old viking grave. Something worth visiting. We call it "kulturkringla", means cultural doodle. When traveling we try to put in some "kulturkringlor" in the schedule. Quite often rest sites along the country roads are placed at a historical site. If you take a break noth of Stockholm, by the highway, you are at the site where the midieval kings were sworn in, Mora stenar. Marked by that sign and an information board.

    As told to me by a bartender; "No nick" glasses are also called this due to each bar/pub stocking a slightly different version bulbous drinkwear. Prior to their introduction, patrons would steal or "nick" these cups for their personal home use, eventually compiling a full matching set for themselves. When the "no nick" pints were introduced, this problem became less and less prevalent, as the would-be thieves did not want set of glasses that did not match each other. Also, as each bar/pub had unique cups, the fact that they were stolen and where they were stolen from would be apparent to their guests. Not sure if this factoid is 100% accurate, but it is definitely an interesting take on the subject.

    Another mustard tip: If you get a leg cramp (charley horse) that wakes you up during the night, start flexing your foot back and forth if the cramp is in your calf muscle. But if that doesn't work, hobble out to the kitchen and squirt some mustard into your mouth. It stops leg cramps immediately! I assume it has something to do with your taste buds shocking the brain, which then asks, "WTF was that?" However it works, it works. But if you do it too often, it stops working. You can then start taking a big swig of pickle juice. It does the same thing, stops the muscle cramp immediately. Or try anything with a strong flavor. Horseradish, maybe? But in the meantime, start taking a magnesium supplement in the evening to help prevent the leg cramps.

    Edit-And you won't have to clean cheese off of your bank card which would really grate on you!!.. 😉✌
    Edit 2-The smaller the teeth the finer the cheese comes off. For example I use a steak knife which has smaller teeth which is brilliant for pasta!...

    I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.

    In the past, I repaired microwaves. Keeping them clean is the most important thing you can do. Over time and repeated heating, left-over dirty food and stains can cause the paint inside the microwave to burn, leading to the arcing, burning, and even melting of dirty plastic parts. The touch-up paint we used to use to repair this never really worked as well as it should have, and sometimes the touch-up paint did not perform as well as the manufacturers’ paint jobs did. At times, it didn't work effectively.

    The deco lug doesn't seem to be for registering the bottle position, because what difference does it make whether the printing starts and ends in any particular place?

    This with the microwave is no secret, it is taught in school. In fact, the grid has a certain size of holes. The reason is that if the holes are smaller than the wavelength of the microwaves they cannot pass through, but at the same time you can see inside because visible light is of a shorter wavelength and passes through. Something like trying to sift through a flour sieve, for example, peas. It can't go through because its grains are much bigger than the holes, but the flour goes through without a problem.

      If you've already got some odour on your feet or in your armpits that no amount of washing and scrubbing seems to work on, then you can try rubbing some stainless steel on it.
      The stink is caused by sulfur compounds. When you rub stainless steel on it, you're basically swapping out the sulfur with the iron in the steel. That's because sulfur and iron are very similar sizes and have the same valence charge, which allows them to substitute for each other in many compounds. There are stainless steel bars that are molded to look like bars of soap, or you can look for anything around that has rounded edges that's made of stainless steel. A simple tablespoon will get the job done. Rub the steel on the malodorous part of your body thoroughly, and then remember to wash the spoon before using it on food if you try that.
      Edit: Do the stain-less steel rubbing when you're washing up, after you've already given yourself a good wash.
