Sherms’ Cleaning Tips

Removal for sticky residue from price tags on glassware or plastic

In a well ventilated area spray just a touch of WD40 on the sticky spot, wait a few seconds and with a cloth rub off and then wash spot with a degreaser, dish detergent (dawn, etc.), or all purpose cleaner. That’s it!!!!

Also good for rust removal on pipes or other metals.

Let me know if you have other questions on cleaning or hard to remove stains and spots and I’ll see what I can come up with.

Thought of another tip: To clean microwave and loosen the harden food. Put a boil of water in and bring to a steam and let the steam work to take it off. Continue reading “Sherms’ Cleaning Tips”

Obesity ‘engulfing the entire world’

The world is in the grip of an obesity pandemic that threatens to overwhelm every country’s health system, experts at an international conference warned on Sunday.

“Obesity is an international scourge,” Professor Paul Zimmet, the chairman of the meeting of more than 2,500 experts and health officials, told delegates in a speech opening the International Congress on Obesity. “This insidious, creeping pandemic of obesity is now engulfing the entire world.”

“It’s as big a threat as global warming and bird flu,” said Zimmet, an Australian diabetes expert.

Other experts at the conference said the cost of treating health problems related to being overweight was immeasurable on a global scale, but was estimated at billions of dollars a year in countries such as Australia, Britain and the United States.

“We are not dealing with a scientific or medical problem, we’re dealing with an eContinue reading “Obesity ‘engulfing the entire world’”

Baptists are… well obese

“Weighty matter: Is religion making us fat?”

The above is the title of a very interesting article I found. Here are some excerpts from it. Purdue socialogist, Ken Ferraro conclusion is the acceptable vice in Christian circles is eating.

“So it’s not surprising that Ferraro’s latest study found that about 27 percent of Baptists, including Southern Baptists, North American Baptists, and Fundamentalist Baptist, were obese

Ferraro’s study also found that about 20 percent of “Fundamentalist Protestants,” (Church of Christ, Pentecostal, Assemblies of God and Church of God); about 18 percent of “Pietistic Protestants,” (Methodist, Christian Church and African Methodist Episcopal), and about 17 percent of Catholics were obese.

By contrast, about 1 percent of the Jewish population and less than 1 percent of other non-Christians, including Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and others), were Continue reading “Baptists are… well obese”

“Shut Your Trap”

I have heard that derogatory command before, “shut your trap!”. It sounds irreverent or disrespecful, to say the least, and we are taken aback by the harshness of that remark. However, today in church I reached a new understanding and got to see that questionable phrase in a new, revealing light.
In Sara’s teachings, today, she admonished us to watch what we say because our WORDS are often that which cut off the blessings and negate that which we have prayed, hoped and believed for so vigorously. And then she said, “SHUT YOUR TRAP” WELL!!!! “Do you know what your “trap ” is?” she challenged. And suddenly I saw it. Of course! Your “trap” is your mouth. When you tell someone in the vernacular to “shut their trap” you mean to say.,…. “shut up or shut your mouth.” But in the Spirit it has a much greater significance and is of greatest “life or death proportions, that isContinue reading ““Shut Your Trap””

Ode to Geriatrics

We got Geriatrics in the city,
Geriatrics in our homes,
Geriatrics in the country
Geriatrics living alone.

I’ve got geriatric plants in my geriatric greenhouse
And geriatric books on my geriatric shelves.
Geriatric dust on my geriatric furniture
And geriatric money in the geriatric bank.

I’ve got a geriatric dog
Who needs a geriatric to walk him.
There’s a geriatric tape playing
In my geriatric taper player.
And a geriatric pile of bills
That long have been a’waiting.

I gave a geriatric monologue at a business meeting today;
After I spent four hours looking for an article that I had forgotten
where I stored it away.

My geriatric ‘moment’ has turned into a geriatric day.
My ‘juvenile’ aquaintances no longer ask me to play.
Now geriatric’s not a curseword if it’s used in a way that’s
kind.
It becomes one when it grows into a tree that overtakes my mind.
