Safety Tips For Women
Please take the time to read this. I know you are smart enough to know these pointers but there will be some, where you will go "hmm I must remember that"
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide to New Orleans: if a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car: Kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you but everybody else will. This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:
a. Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.
b. If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
c. Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs.(Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot).
7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN!
8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

AS EYES SEE
God is a gracious and a very loving man,
He touches everything with His almighty hand.
He makes the world beautiful with flowers and trees,
With the mountains, the valleys, the oceans and seas.
Each thing in this world is touched by the hand of God,
Every living creature that walks upon earth's sod.
He blesses us from heaven with the sun so fair,
He gives rain to help us live and makes beauty rare.
He gives rainbows after rain...for colors so grand,
So we can enjoy all the beauties on this land.
We can enjoy all these wonders that grow so free,
God has given these things to us to always see.
No tending is required…seeds are blown in the wind,
God's angels help all creatures themselves to defend.
Animals graze on this great land and freely roam,
As eyes see…hearts grasp…beauty is to each his own.
Friends are given by God to help all hurts to cure,
Our friendship and love will be unequaled for sure.
Cultivate friendships and love continue to sow,
As God loves and tends all things…let love truly grow.

AN ANGEL HAS TRULY SMILED
Children bring so much beauty into our lives...just like a pretty flower,
They grow from a babe in weakness...to a person with knowledge and power.
These beautiful flowers...our children.grow within the garden...of our God,
They keep their eyes to the sky and...they grow so tall...from the clay and the sod.
They will grow in so much beauty and sweetness...when given care,
Children are like plants that are very tender and...are so wondrously rare.
If they are neglected they become really ragged...and...they grow so wild, Remember that this sweet...wistful soul...is a truly needing and loving child.
You.as a gardner...need to give each flower...so much tender love and care,
Don't let them lack your attention...always nurture and give them all their share...
Of all the things that they need...such as tender loving care...warmth...and much light,
To help protect them each and everyday from all things and...from all the blight.
A very glad day will come when their bloom shall truly...beautifully unfold,
If they are nurtured...they'll reflect a real beauty...a rare sweetness untold.
In this wonderful...beautiful...and very sensitive soul of a child,
They will really make it seem...that...upon you...An Angel Has Truly Smiled.

AN ENDLESS LOVE
God gave the birds the power of flight,
Some fly in day and some in night.
How wonderful it surely must be,
For them to land in the tallest tree.
To soar through valleys and see below,
The summer greens and the winter snow.
They never seem to have a care...
'Cause most times their food is everywhere.
But before you wish to be a bird,
I do have some facts that should be heard.
Most birds only live such a short span,
Unlike what God has given to man.
When they die their life will surely end,
They will never be reborn again.
God has put a soul in each of us,
And He only wants our love and trust.
Then as our earthly life is through,
Our life in heaven we will ensure.
So please do not wish for wings to fly,
No bird on this earth could go that high.
As when God lifts our soul high above,
And showers us with an endless love.

LOVE
Love is complicated...it's not as simple as roses and candlelight,
It's a day-to-day living...taking time...making time...making life so bright.
Love is being there...with open arms and a giving heart with so much care,
It takes work...but love is the special life that you and I will always share.
With Lots Of Love From CUTE DREAMER at 1:18 PM
LOVE'S OUR GREATEST BLESSING
You have a loving heart...a gentle smile...and a warm tender touch,
You give so many things to me...but nothing means as much...
As when you give me true inspiration...you don't let me lose hope,
All the kind words of encouragement you give me...helps me to cope.
Three little words...I Love You...lets you know I will always be there...
To hold your hand in full support of you...you are in all my prayers.
Love is never silent...because it has so very much to say,
Love's our greatest blessing...especially when we give it away.

To use up slivers of soap, put them in a white sock, tie a knot in the sock and toss into the washing machine. This will keep your socks whiter and save money because you use less detergent.
Always measure any detergent used with appropriate scoops. This prevents using an excessive amount.
If you accidentally put too much soap in the washer, pour two tbsp. vinegar or a capful of fabric softener into the machine.
To make certain that clothes receive a thorough rinsing, add one cup white vinegar to the rinse cycle. This will help dissolve the alkaline in soaps and detergents, plus it will give you soft sweet-smelling clothes.

Use rubbing alcohol to remove ball-point pen marks on clothing and upholstery.
If your slipcovers are washable, place back on your furniture while still damp. They will fit better and won't require ironing because as they finish drying they conform to the shape of the furniture and stretch out the wrinkles.
Rubbing cornmeal into a grease stain on upholstery and vacuuming it the next day will lift out the mark.
Spruce up old stuffed nonwashable toys by placing in a bag with baking soda. Shake and brush off.
Clean white kid gloves with flour. Just rub it into the dirt and brush it away.
To clean silk flowers, put flowers in a plastic bag with a couple tablespoons of salt. Shake vigorously while holding stems and bag shut. The dust will cling to the salt and the flowers will look like new.
Dry lingerie on a clothes line or place on a clothes hanger to dry. Heat from the dryer will ruin the elastic.
Use half of a fabric-softening sheet for a regular-size load of laundry in the dryer. It is as effective as a full sheet.
Mix two cups fabric softener with two cups water and store in covered plastic container. Dip an old facecloth in the solution and use instead of fabric softener sheet.
Lint from the dryer and the washing machine, along with other garbage collected in the laundry area, can easily be placed in the empty soap box. This saves space in the garbage and also saves on garbage bags.
To remove burrs from sweaters or slacks, use disposable razors.
For best results when hand washing sweaters, put a capful of hair cream rinse in the final rinse.
Wool is weak when wet. Do not wring or rub wet wool garments. Lay the garment on a towel, roll it up and gently squeeze.
Shrunken woolens may loosen and stretch if soaked in a hair cream rinse.

Turn acrylic sweaters inside out when washing them to avoid getting fuzz balls on them.
To avoid ironing clothes, take them out of the dryer as soon as it stops and fold them.
If you can't iron damp clothes right away, put them in a plastic bag and place in the freezer. They will be easier to iron and there's no danger of mildew.
To keep delicate fabrics from becoming shiny when ironing, cover the material with a sheet of tissue paper. Make certain the iron isn't too hot.
An iron heats faster than it cools. Therefore, iron fabrics which need a cool temperature setting first, then iron fabrics which require higher temperatures.
Pressing pleats in a skirt will take less time if bobby pins are used to hold them in place. They may be left in position while pressing all but the hem and then removed to complete the job.
Place a sheet of aluminum foil under your ironing board cover. It will hold the heat longer.
Scorch marks may be removed by using a cloth dampened with vinegar. Place it over the scorched area and apply a warm iron.

Clean a dirty iron bottom with a dampened SOS pad. Then, warm the iron and run over a piece of wax paper to restore the shiny finish.
Before you wear a new garment (or even on old ones) touch the center of each button, front and back, with clear nail polish. This will seal the threads and the buttons will stay on much longer.
Find buttons easily. Sort them by size or color in the compartments of an egg carton.
When sewing on a button, especially a large one, place a pin under the thread at the back of the button. When finished pull out the pin. The button has room to move and will last longer.
Sew buttons on children's clothing with dental floss - its much stronger than thread.
When removing buttons from a discarded item, sew them together before storing with your spares. It will save you the time of having to match buttons later.
Button popped off? For a quick fix, reattach it with the wire from a twist tie.
Stop tangled thread. For a single thread, knot and cut from spool last; and for double thread, knot each end separately.
Wet your finger before slipping on your sewing thimble. The suction will keep the thimble from slipping off.
Always place a used desk blotter under your sewing machine needle when oiling the machine to keep from soiling thread and material.
To sharpen your sewing machine needle, stitch through a piece of fine sandpaper.
When elastic that is sewed on a garment becomes worn or stretched, just baste cord elastic through the worn elastic. Pull it up and knot.
When patching the knees of your gardening jeans, leave the top of each patch open like a pocket so that you can slip in pieces of foam rubber or knee pads. They will make kneeling more comfortable.
Save old drapery draw cord and use the good portions for replacement drawstrings in rugby pants and pajamas. Just thread through the waistband, using a large safety pin, and make a knot in each end to hold.
Discarded neckties make interesting women's belts when three are braided together. Single ties may be opened to serve as a neck kerchief on a dress or sweater.
Men's cotton-blend shirts make good coveralls or aprons. Just cut away the collar, shorten the sleeves (if long sleeved) and finish the neckline with bias tape.
When the feet on men's socks wear out, cut them off at the ankle. Stitch along the bottom and use as children's socks.
Using your old quilted housecoat for the inside of a baby quilt makes use of a useless housecoat and is an inexpensive light filling for the quilt.
To recycle wrinkled ribbon, run through a warm curling iron.
To wear sheets evenly, place a safety pin in the bottom end of your sheet. After every wash, place the safety pin to the other end of the sheet and make your bed with that end to the bottom.
When a bed sheet begins to show wear, cut the sheet in half across, bring the unhemmed top and bottom ends together and sew them together. Hem the center ends with one narrow hem and one wider hem. The worn ends will be on the top and bottom of the sheet, making the sheet last a few years longer.
Recycle old bed sheets by cutting them into pillowcases.
Cotton sheets can be recycled into pillowcases.
Old flannel sheets can be used to make a child's nightgown or pajamas.
Trim old tablecloths into a number of napkins.
Turn two old bath towels into a duvet cover for your cat's bed. Simply sew together on three sides like a pillow slip and slide a scrap piece of fiberglass insulation batting, wrapped in a plastic drycleaner's bag. The cover is easy to slide off for laundering.
Baby's receiving blankets can be sewn together to make a special quilt.
Key chains sewed into the collars of children's coats and jackets provide strong hangers.
When small children have difficulty zipping their jackets, make it easier for them by attaching a key ring to the zipper pull.
To make a child's emergency throwaway apron, take a plastic shopping bag with hand holes at the top and cut down one side and across the bottom. Open and use as an apron by pinning at the back.
To remove scuff marks from white shoes, rub with dressmaker's chalk and polish.
Give suede shoes a new look by wiping with a sponge moistened in cool black coffee.
A cloth dampened with vinegar will remove grease stains on suede shoes.
Add extra shine to your shoes by putting a couple drops of lemon juice on them when polishing.
Furniture polish is an excellent substitute for shoe polish. Spray an even coat on the shoes, wipe dry and buff to a shine.
Polish your shoes well once, then when they look dull wipe them with a soft cloth dampened with baby oil.
Paint heels of shoes with clear nail polish to prevent scuffing the finish.
Spray the insides of new running shoes with spray starch and let dry overnight. The starch will keep the insides clean and keep the runners fresher for longer.
After washing running shoes, spray with spray starch. This will help resist soil.
To dry the inside of children's winter boots or summer rubbers quickly, put the hose of the vacuum cleaner into the boot and turn on the blower.
To make children's shoelaces last longer, stitch up and down new laces with the sewing machine before putting in shoes.
If your shoelaces are always coming undone, dampen with a spray of water before tying.
To renew shoelaces which have lost their plastic tips, dip the ends in the nail polish.
If sandals pinch, dab the inside with rubbing alcohol and wear them immediately. The leather strap will ease a bit over the tight spot.

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.
