"It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some household helps from the past:

If the inside of your linen closet is painted a deep blue, there will be no danger of your linens turning yellow. It will eliminate the annoyance of having to wrap those you do not use too often in blue paper.

If there is but a small amount of paint left in a can to be stored, pour paraffin over it before putting it away and it will not dry out but can be used to the last bit.

To paint flower pots easily, knot a rope and run it through the hole in the pot, leaving the knot inside, then suspend the pot upside down and paint. Allow the paint to dry in this manner.

Some Genealogy humor....

I'd rather be looking for dead people than have them looking for me!

I'm searching for myself; Have you seen me?

If only people came with pull-down menus and on-line help ...

A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away.

I researched my family tree ... and apparently I don't exist!

I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble.  ~Rudyard Kipling

REMEMBER WHEN

A computer was something on TV
from a science fiction show of note
a window was something you hated to clean...
And ram was the cousin of a goat...
