Well here we go. I gonna start my own Blog. Post info or things I hope may be of interest to folks. Today I'm gonna post a few uses for WD-40. Being from the south no true "G.R.I.T.S." is every without 2 things. WD-40 and Duct Tape

WD-40 USES:
1. Protects silver from tarnishing.
2. Removes road tar and grime from cars.
3. Cleans and lubricates guitar strings.
4. Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making them slippery.
5. Keeps flies off cows. (I love this one!)
6. Restores and cleans chalkboards.
7. Removes lipstick stains.
8. Loosens stubborn zippers.
9. Untangles jewelry chains.
10. Removes stains from stainless steel sinks.

11. Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill.
12. Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing.
13. Removes tomato stains from clothing.
14. Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots.
15. Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors.
16. Keeps scissors working smoothly.
17. Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes.
18. It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.
19. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
20. Gives a children's playground gym slide a shine for a super fast slide.
21. Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers... 22. Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises.
23. Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open..
24. Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close.
25. Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers.
26. Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles.
27. Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans

28. Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling.
29. Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly.
30. Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools.
31. Removes splattered grease on stove.
32. Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging.
33. Lubricates prosthetic limbs.
34. Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell).
35. Removes all traces of duct tape.
36. Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain.
37. Florida 's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.' 38. The favorite use in the state of New York , WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.

As the New Year approaches  I started to think about my family of the past. I spent many a days with my Dad's Mom, Maw Maw Lena. I would spend hours doing her make-up,  combing and styling her hair. After I got older and she was in a nursing home I would spend a few hours everyday during the week with her and her friends. It permitted me a lot of  wonderful time with my Maw Maw. Below is a recipe she made quite often for church dinner on the grounds, reunions or holidays. Many of our family's events have been shared over a slice of pecan pie and a cup of coffee. My Mother, Stella Achord Sutcliffe took the mantel when my grandmother died and started to make this for all events. This pie became requested many times by the men in my family as their Christmas or birthday present. I hope you make this dessert and share a slice with family and friends.

3 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 c. Karo corn syrup (make sure to use a good syrup)
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tlbs. Butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. pecans
1 unbaked pie shell

`Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl combine eggs, sugar, Karo and butter; mix well. Add vanilla and pecans and blend well. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until center has semi set. If edges of crust start to brown to fast cover edges with strips of foil. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. It will be jiggly in the center when you remove it from the oven. It will congeal as it cools.

Will today we had our monthly Deuces meeting and now sitting on the couch wishing I had stayed in bed all day. If you don't know already I have become addicted to Pinterest.com. I have always loved to recycle but this has only increased that desire. I have been looking for gifts that I can make to give for presents. One of the last items I found was an item I made some 40 years ago when I was in Brownies. It is a pot holder made of bottle caps. http://whipstitchdesigns.wordpress.com/category/how-to/
I am gonna make these. If for no other reason then nostalgia reason. Me and John are looking forward to the snowfall. It seems to feels more like Christmas up here.  Click on picture below to link with the web site.
