Overcoming Red Wine Spills

Red wine spills can be a disaster whether they occur in your home or onboard your $43 million executive jet as members of our corporate flight attendant web community are quick to point out. Taking care of a spill is another thing, but we have discovered two “tried and true” solutions to the problem. Please read on to find out what we discovered:

1. If you have just spilled red wine, immediately pour white wine over a red wine stain. The white wine [white grape juice is fine too] dilutes the pigmentation from the red grape.

2. You can also put salt on the stained area, wait a few minutes and rinse with running water. If you have an old stain, try soaking the stain with a lemon-water or vinegar-water solution, then wash it with your other laundry items. Of course, we’re talking about treating clothing not carpeting or furniture fabric.

The more expensive the item affected, the more likely you will seek professional cleaning care to resolve the problem even if you do emergency management. Not everyone feels comfortable with treating red wine spills, but doing nothing can cause the stain to set making it virtually impossible to get rid of later.

Congratulate To Spread Joy

Congratulating everyone for any achievement has become a norm. You pass graduation congratulations will pour in. Get a new child, same story repeated. Get engaged, get married, get a job, a new house, promotion, what ever, congratulations will come in avalanche if you have a big circle of friends and family.

What is the effect of such a message on the sender and the recipient? Let us consider.
In our life, whenever we achieve anything, we need acknowledgement. If no body acknowledges our achievements, we feel useless. For example, consider that you are the only person left on the earth and you get a very large diamond. There is no body else to congratulate you. What will you do with the diamond?

We need acknowledgment. We want to share our joy. We want people to celebrate with us. Without that all is useless. That is why people who have a very small circle of friends and family feel lonely. Similarly those who congratulate feel good. They are sharing some body else’s joy. That is a selfless act. Such acts always give us joy. Whenever you send a congratulatory message, examine your feelings carefully. You will find that you feel good.

Sharing others joy and grief, both connect us. We are all social animals and our satisfaction comes out of that connection. Please send as many Congratulation ecards as you can to make the recipients happy.

How to cope with sending your child to Preschool

Well parents, it is that time of year again. The time of year when your child will be heading off to preschool or kindergarten. This can be a trying experience for both you and your child. I remember the first time I sent my daughter off to preschool. As the day came closer and closer, the tears started to form and each time I looked at her, I knew pretty soon she would be going off to start her wonderful career in academia. On the first morning of school, I woke up pretty early and cooked her her favorite breakfast. I tried to stay as calm as possible, but I knew in a few short hours she would be out the door and on her way to school. I was so scared! Did I prepare her enough? Did I teach her all the right things? Like don’t talk to strangers, don’t eat off the floor? Wash your hands when you are done using the bathroom and make sure you wipe yourself? Listen to your teacher, and try your best.... (read the full article at the link below)

Different Uses for Plungers

The first thing that most likely comes to your mind when you hear the word plunger is toilet clog. That is because that is what the number one use of the plunger is. But did you know that unclogging the toiler isn’t the only use for a plunger?

Have you ever had a sink, either the kitchen or the bathroom sink or tub clog up on you and you have no Liquid Plumber in the house or any Drano?

Next time that happens simply take your plunger and go to the sink and plunge. Depending on the toughness of the clog will depend on how many times you have to pump the plunger. A simple clog can go on one or two. But the clog does not unclog itself within 5 minutes of plunging then you may need to use the liquid or powdered clog cleaner.

Then, if that still doesn’t work then you have to call a plumber. The moral of the story is to try to exhaust all possibilities before you spend money when the answer may be right in front of you for free. You should always keep a plunger on hand for clogged toilets but now you have a second reason to keep one handy. They are cheap and you could save you a lot of money in the long run.
