d aMember
tomim tihye, your nuts!!!
d aMember“Goodnight everyone I’m going to sleep!” HIE you said something…
d aMemberGuys, I’m so sorry! I was watching something and couldnt schmooze. Maybe tomorrow night! See ya then!
d aMemberwow! 80 that was a VERY smart idea!
d aMemberHIE, you said “This isn’t for comments just say me” on the fourth post of this thread. Now look what your doing!
d aMembervery good, it sounds like a Kollel line, kollelboy!
d aMemberif you like them, i can post more but i need other people to help me out!
d aMemberMore tips to keep KIDS ROOMS clean:
Removing Stickers:
If you remove as much of the sticker as possible, you can remove the rest with a little Ben Gay ointment and a blow dryer set on the low heat setting. Also works on carpet.
Other products that have been known to remove stickers include WD-40, Oops brand latex paint remover, De-Solve, fingernail polish remover, rubbing alcohol and even peanut butter!
Cleaning Stuffed Animals:
Put kids’ stuffed animals inside a pillow case, tie a knot in it and wash them in the washing machine.
You can also freshen the animals by placing them in a paper sack with baking soda and shaking them up good.
If the animal is stuffed with natural fibers it should not be immersed in water, but can be wiped off with a soapy cloth, followed by a clean wet cloth.
Make sure the animal doesn’t have torn seams before you put it in the washing machine.
Look for plastic parts before tossing a stuffed animal in the dryer.
Make sure the animal doesn’t have a “sound box” or other mechanical parts before you put them in the washing machine and dryer.
Helping Kids Stay Uncluttered:
Put away half of your kids’ toys and switch them around every few months. They’ll have plenty to play with and their room will stay cleaner.
Label boxes, baskets, milk crates, plastic tubs – anything they might store toys in – to teach them how to sort toys and keep them off the floor. Let the kids decorate the containers they use so they will be personal and fun.
Set a short period of time each day or each week that kids have to straighten up their room. Make a game out of it with a timer and give rewards to all kids for jobs well done. It will become a good habit and they’ll have fun.
Get the kids to go through their toys periodically and pick out some things that they don’t play with anymore. Pack them up and take them somewhere where there are kids who don’t have enough toys.
Put bookshelves in every available place where the kids can stack their toys, books, etc. Anything to keep the floor clean.
Teach kids good cleaning habits by being neat and tidy yourself. Hanging up clothes and putting things away after you use them sets a good example.
Assign specific chores to kids and set a limit on when the chore has to be done.
Put hooks and pegs on the backs of room door and on the insides of closet doors for quick hangups when the kids come in.
Let the kids do some “adult” clean up jobs. Sometimes loading the dishwasher or helping mom clean up after a baking session is fun, especially for smaller children and it teaches good habits.
Let kids listen to whatever they want to while they are cleaning. A little noise will be worth a clean room!
Assign each child a towel and make sure they hang it up every day. This saves unnecessary washing.
d aMemberTo start myself off, here are some cleaning tips:
Coffee Stains:
To remove a coffee stain from fabric or a rug, try one of these methods:
Dip a white cloth into a beaten egg yolk and rub the yolk into the stain. Then rinse with clear water.
Work denatured alcohol into the stain, then rinse with water.
Apply a solution of 1/2 teaspoon mild detergent in a pint of water. Blot with a white towel. If the stain remains, apply a 50-50 solution of water and white vinegar and blot.
Cleaning Kitchen Countertops:
Use a mild dishwashing liquid for plastic lamination and rinse well afterwards to prevent residue from getting on food.
Cleaning Vinyl Floors:
Mop with a mild detergent and wait awhile to allow it to penetrate the ground-in dirt.
Cleaning Safety Tip:
Don’t mix cleaning products like ammonia and bleach. They can be toxic.
Cleaning with Automatic-Dishwasher Detergent:
Automatic-dishwasher detergent works well on refrigerators, stoves, floors, walls and glass.
Dissolve 1/4 cup in one gallon of very hot water.
Wipe with a dry cloth afterward.
Wear rubber gloves and test first to make sure that what you’re cleaning is colorfast.
Glassware:
Use the bartender’s method for speedy stemware washing. Holding the base, pump the glass vigorously in very hot sudsy water, then quickly put it in hot clear water (cooler water may shatter it) Dry upside down on a cotton towel.
For extra-shiny, streakless glasses, add a little vinegar or borax to the final rinse water.
If glasses have hard-water stains, rub them with a scouring pad dipped in vinegar.
Never use hot water, harsh soaps, ammonia or washing soda on silver or gold-rimmed glasses.
A well-lathered shaving brush cleans deeply etched or hobnailed glass especially well.
If eggs have dried on your patterned glass tableware, rub off the residue with a slice of lemon.
Storing Leftovers:
When storing leftovers in the refrigerator, use old butter tubs and cottage cheese containers. When its time to clean out the refrigerator you can discard the entire container. You won’t have a spilled mess in the garbage can or a sink full of dirty dishes.
To remove water spots on stainless steel, rub area with a clean, soft cloth dampened with white vinegar. Then wipe dry to avoid spots.
Heel Marks:
Use a pencil eraser on black heel marks.
Dishwasher Soap Film:
Run a cup of white vinegar through the entire dishwashing cycle in an empty dishwasher to remove all soap film.
Refrigerator Odors:
A little vanilla poured on a piece of cotton and placed in the refrigerator will eliminate odors.
After cleaning the refrigerator add a dash of lemon extract to the rinse water for a fresh scent.
Stuck on Food:
For stuck on food on a casserole dish, try adding 2 tablespoons of baking soda and boiling water to cover the stuck on food. Let sit for a while. The dish will be much easier to clean.

d aMemberIf you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defence attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer’s credibility …..
Q: ‘Officer — did you see my client fleeing the scene?’
A: ‘No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.’
Q: ‘Officer — who provided this description?’
A: ‘The officer who responded to the scene.’
Q: ‘A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?’
A: ‘Yes, sir. With my life.’
Q: ‘With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?’
A: ‘Yes sir, we do!’
Q: ‘And do you have a locker in the room?’
A: ‘Yes sir, I do.’
Q: ‘And do you have a lock on your locker?’
A: ‘Yes sir.’
Q: ‘Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?’
A: ‘You see, sir — we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.’
The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called.

d aMemberA man is sitting in a bar and announces, “Who wants to hear a Polish joke?” A large crowd forms around him. Suddenly, the bar tender pushes himself through the crowd, and says to the man, “I am 6’2″ and Polish. The owner of this bar is 6’1″ and is Polish. And the bouncer is 6’5″ and also Polish. Are you sure you want to say that joke?” The man says no and sits down.
One of his friends turns to him and says, “Why didn’t you say the joke? We would all defend you!” The guy said back, “I didn’t want to have to say the joke three times!!!”
How do you get a Pollack to laugh on Purim? Tell him a joke on Ta’anis Esther!!!
d aMemberYout right. We got to keep davening, REALLY daven for moshiach.
When Reb Chaim Pinchos Scheinberg was in America a few years ago, I went to see him. We davened Mincha together and Reb Chaim was the Chazzan. The emotion that the Rav had during ???????????????? ??????? ??????????? ????????, was amazing. We all put all our emotions into the other brochos. The Rav is begging and pleading for Yerushalayim!
And chesed, keep on doing chessed, thats sure gonna speed up the geulah!
d aMemberYesterday, I was so drunk, I couldn’t talk in a straight line…
d aMemberWhen preparing your Purim costumes, don’t leave a big black garbage bag filled with costumes in middle of the dining room floor. A couple of years ago, we left our bag of costumes in middle of the dining room, and without realizing it was costumes, my father took out the garbage! Lots of good, expensive costumes were lost! And the search for new costumes a couple days before Purim began!
