A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men. The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

Hint & Tip

Tips for Keeping Your Summer Whites White

By Annie B. Bond

Now that we’re officially in summer, we can start wearing our summer white clothing again. Only trouble is, whites don’t seem to stay white very long!
Here are our best tips for keeping those whites looking as crisp and pristine as they do the first day you wear them, without resorting to harmful chlorine bleaching.
Commercial BleachesIt is best to avoid most commonly available bleach, sodium hypochlorite, a moderately toxic chlorine salt that can bond with other chemicals to form cancer-causing organochlorines in the wastewater system.
“Natural oxygen safe bleaches” are commercially available (found primarily in the health food store marketplace), and are based on hydrogen peroxide. The best choice is to buy commercial non-chlorine bleaches instead of making your own version using store-bought 3 percent hydrogen peroxide because commercial brands, such as Seventh Generations’s Non-Chlorine Bleach–Free & Clear include oxygen bleach stabilizers to help reduce the product’s reactivity in the environment.
Tip: Adding ½ cup of lemon juice to the rinse cycle of a medium load of whites will lightly bleach the clothing. This technique is especially effective on clothes that are then hung to dry on the line.
Soften Your WaterThe minerals in hard water can gray clothes. If you have very hard water, add ½ cup of vinegar to your rinse water.
Brighten WhitesTo brighten whites, and if you don’t have hard water, use the might of minerals in your wash cycle. Add ½ cup borax or washing soda (both are available in the laundry section of your supermarket) to a medium load of laundry.
About LightNote to read clothing labels, as some direct you to dry the clothes outside of direct sunlight. On the other hand, storing whites in the dark can cause yellowing. A rule of thumb is that natural fibers love the sun and hanging them outside to dry on the line is to their benefit.

Triva:
How Old is Crochet?
It seems shepherds were the first to crochet by using bits of wool shed by the sheep to make a "thread" (or yarn). Twigs and small branches were fashioned into "hooks" so they could make things to keep themselves warm while out in the fields. Could crochet be well over 2000 years old?

Creative Ideas for Making Easter Baskets
One of the most beloved of Easter traditions is that of giving the Easter basket. Typically left for children by their parents or the “Easter Bunny,” a basket may have any number of sweet candy treats or small surprises inside. However, you don’t have to have kids to enjoy this custom. Incorporate an Easter basket exchange in your women’s group, or decorate Easter baskets for charity.
This year, make your Easter basket a work of art! Go beyond the pink plastic basket filled with green cellophane grass (although I will always have fond memories of green cellophane grass…) Here are some ideas that will make your baskets unique and a delight to all who receive them.
1. Find suitable baskets at the craft store, discount store, or flea market. They do not have to be of uniform shape or size (unless you are doing this for multiple children who will argue over who has the biggest basket.)
2. Choose two different pretty grosgrain or satin ribbons in a size that will fit your basket, and weave them in a simple stripe or crisscross pattern into the outside of the basket. Finish with a bow!
3. Think of the recipient’s favorite hobby or sport and incorporate that into the design—if you wanted to go all out, you could even use acrylic craft paint to turn some wooden eggs into soccer balls, basketballs, or footballs.
4. For a more grown-up look, use specialty dried grass for “stuffing,” and make a corsage of silk flowers and ribbon to festoon the handle of the basket. Add some potpourri for a special touch, and fill the basket with gourmet treats.
5. Wrap the entire basket in pink, blue, or yellow tulle and tie with a contrasting satin bow. Tulle is an inexpensive fabric and adds an interesting texture.
6. Basket ideas for kids: A children’s book of the resurrection story, candies in unusual and interesting shapes, small plush bunnies, chicks, or ducks, inexpensive play jewelry, rubber balls, baseball cards…anything that you might put in a Christmas stocking could go in an Easter basket.
7. Basket ideas for grown-ups: fine chocolates, pretty painted eggs, golf balls, pantyhose that comes in an egg, travel games, pocket devotionals
8. Add the fun and mess of confetti eggs! In some areas, these are available in stores; however, they are easy to make at home. See my article “Easter Party Ideas For Kids” for instructions.
9. Leave a note from the Easter Bunny inviting the recipient to a special Easter egg hunt; for adults, this could be a special Easter brunch.
You see, with an open mind and creative spirit, you can make your Easter basket exchange exciting and fun for all. The one thing you shouldn’t forget, for recipients big and small: A chocolate bunny! For many, Easter morning doesn’t begin until those juicy chocolate ears have been bitten right off. Whatever your tradition, have a joyous Easter!

Hints & Tips

Quick and Easy Spring Cleaning

Spring cleaning is a "must", so it is always nice to have afew short cuts to get the cleaning done a little faster inorder to get back to the sewing room!Take an old terrycloth towel that is no longer being used andcut a strip the length of the towel and 2 1/2 inches wide.Sew the strip with 1/4" seams and turn right side out. Thisstrip easily slides onto a yardstick, which can be used toslide under the refrigerator, washer and dryer for quickcleaning. The strip can then be thrown into the washer toclean and save for the next time.
That same old towel can be cut into the shape of your dustmop, then add about 4 inches all around. Turn under a hemand run elastic through it. Slip the terry cloth "cover"over the dust mop and use that for getting the spider websfrom the corners in the garage, or reaching areas that arehard to get to. And, as before, when finished, throw thecover into the washer to clean for the next time.
When doing a thorough house cleaning, it is easier to do onejob throughout the house, such as cleaning the fans in everyroom at the same time. Next you might dust and polish thefurniture throughout the house, etc. By taking care of thecleaning "item by item", the only cleaning supplies neededare those for that particular job, rather than loadingyourself down with all the cleaning supplies in the houseand dragging them from room to room.

Trivia


The Twelve Days of Christmas Song, No one seems to know who wrote what seems to be a nonsensical song, but legend has it as being written during the period of time when Roman Catholics in England were not allowed to practice their faith without punishment (which would explain why no one credits themselves for penning it), the song was to help children to remember the tenets of their faith. Many consider this another urban legend though, mainly because everything in the song goes along with both the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church doctrine. And that it seems to have a French origin, not English.The true love was God Himself.The me was any baptized person.The partridge in a pear tree was Christ and may of referred to Matt. 23:37 and Luke 13:34.The 2 turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments.3 French hens stood for faith, hope and love. (1 Cor. 13) The Theological Virtues The 4 calling birds were the 4 gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Four Evangelists The 5 golden rings recalled the Torah or law; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. The Law or Pentateuch.The 6 geese a laying were the 6 days of creation.The 7 swans a swimming were the 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 7:30) The 7 Sacraments.The 8 maids a milking were the eight Beatitudes. (Matt. 5-6).The 9 ladies dancing were the 9 truths of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5).The 10 Lords a leaping were the 10 Commandments.The 11 pipers piping were the 11 faithful apostles.The 12 drummers drumming symbolized the 12 points of belief in the Apostle Creed.Note: In the original version the first 5 gifts were all birds, 1st day = Partridge, 2ND day = 2 Turtle Doves, 3rd day = 3 French Hens, 4Th day = 4 Colly Birds (Blackbirds) not Calling birds, and on the 5Th day = 5 Golden Rings (referred to ring-necked pheasants) not jewelry.

Reindeer's Story at Christmas
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December.
Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to EVERY historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, had to be a girl.
We should have known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost.

Nasty Bug Going Around Joke
Last week, I was watching a show on TV about invading space aliens - it was pretty creepy. Then, the doorbell rang so I went to answer it. Standing there was a 6 foot tall mosquito! He grabbed me by the neck, threw me across the room, and then left.The next night, I was playing a video game and the doorbell rang. I answered it and that same six-foot mosquito was there. He punched me in the stomach and then thumped me on the head and left.The third night, the doorbell rang. I slowly opened the door and that mosquito pushed the door open, hit me in both eyes, kicked me in the shin, and body slammed me to the ground then left.The next day, I went to see my doctor and explained everything that had happened. I asked him what I should do.The doctor replied, "Not much you can do. There's just a nasty bug going around."
