TRIVIA

HELPFUL HINTS

• Candy, cookies, and ice cream that claim to be lowfat or fat free have large amounts of sugar..More calories!!!!!
•   Instead of reaching for your favorite over-the-counter nasal decongestant..try one of natures remedies:  chicken soup; raw or baked garlic; spicy foods; or any food that contains ginger.
•   Potato peels make great snacks.. Mix a small amount of olive oil and flavored slat. Coat peels and bake until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
•   A lump of sugar added to water when cooking spinach, broccoli, green beans will help keep its green color.
•   Homemade deodorizer:  Place a few drops of vanilla extract on a cotton ball and place in the bottom of the garbage can or in a drawer or shelf in bathroom.  Other extracts can also be used such as coconut; lemon; cinnamon..mint..
  Also a tablespoon of vanilla extract in a can of paint will take smell of pain away from room  while painting.
•   If you get bit..try putting on some meat tenderizer..Make a paste of it with water and place on the bite or sting. Mud also works good as well as salt mixed with a little water..Even onion rubbed on will also work.
•   Use baby wipes to clean your windshield on the car.
•   Try drinking ginger ale for motion sickness..or sucking on ginger candy.

COMPUTER WOES

As if demons are chasing her, she hastily makes the sign of the cross and makes a mad dash onto the highway. A quick right turn and she is moving uphill nothing to impede her but stop signs this lap of the journey. Marietta Andretti is obsessed driving the car for the next and final five miles of trip. She changes lanes, she mutters unintelligently under her breath and she has the radio on high to spur her on even more.

She pulls into her driveway, grabs the mail, puts on a pot of coffeeand heads up the stairs. First thing she does is put the computer on. While computer is doing its thing she is kicking off her shoes, yanking ather pantyhose and depending on speed of computer is ready to check in with a pal on ICQ with a simple, “Hi mother, I am home.” She once went directly to chat but is now practicing self-discipline. Chat must wait.

She continues to peel off her clothes while checking the snail mail and e-mail and deciding which domestic chore will get her attention this night. With the speed of a bullet she has now transformed herself into a domestic goddess. The suit has been hung up and she is ready for action. Transformed into her best chat clothes, consisting of either passe' sweats or a tattered flannel nightgown with oversized fuzzy slippers she flies down the stairs to begin dinner preparations.

Coffee is nowready. She grabs cup of coffee and is back up the stairs in a flash. ThankGod! She drinks it black no time for sugar or milk. Checks puter mail again and grabs the wash and heads back downstairs to the basement. After sorting wash and putting the first load on, she heads back up the stairs. She forwards jokes received to her friends, checks to see who is on-line and sees that her niece is looking to chat.

Approximately ten minutes into the chat, she smells the food in the oven, which by now she has forgotten. With a quick brb to niece she dashes down the stairs to check oven. Just in time, the dinner is cooked. Removes from oven and places it on warming plate.

Up the stairs again apologizes to niece for interruption and settles back into dialogue. She realizes that she needs to put the wash in the dryer and says good night to niece.

By this time her son is home from school and tells her he needs a paper typed that night. She grabs the paper out of his hand and darts up the stairs breathlessly. A quick click and she is in MS Word. A subtle smile crosses her lips and she thinks, I no longer have to leave my body in stock room covered up by word. ICQ will reach me and I will save time by not having to check to see who has come on-line.

The clock is ticking away. It is now 9:45 PM and second load of wash is being folded. Jumps in the shower, returns to puter and the little flower is flashing away with messages “of where are”? Grabbing 7oz bar of Hershey, she responds and says, “heading to chat”. Time flies! Resolution of being off by 11PM has now been transgressed. “Go to bed”, flashes across the screen from well-intentioned friends.

Finally at midnight when elbows can no longer support head, she utters good night to room. She does not want to fall head face onto keyboard, as she would be embarrassed explaining to boss what the lol on her forehead meant.
