glass
You can find them alot of places. Crafts stores carry them, Wal-Mart, and any store that pretty much has a craft section. Check them out.
For me, there is nothing like a glass
or two of merlot after a hard day at work to relax!
Trying to buy stained glass
I am trying to find an hanging stained glass octagon shaped item for my daughter. Anyone bought some before and if so, where from? Thanks.
Painting on glass surfaces
Ok, here is my problem. I bought a beautiful set of China in a magnolia pattern, stunning, for little of nothing. I then was able to get some platters, 4 bowls, salt and pepper and the like from a replacement China company but no where can I find a gravy boat. I have been looking for about 2 months. This is what I had thought of and perhaps someone out there has done this. I have a white gravy boat that I had thought of buying paint to decorate the outside some to make it blend in with my set that I will be using Christmas. Has anyone done any China painting like this or just painting on dishes and what kind of paint would I get. I do not want to have to finish with processing it afterwards, just a 1 stop painting and drying deal. Thanks.
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?
Water  or Coke?
Could  not believe this.....  Very interesting


WATER

#1.  75%  of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
(Likely  applies to half the world population.)


#2.  In  37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak
that it is  mistaken for hunger.


#3.  Even  MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.


#4.  One  glass of water will shut down midnight  hunger pangs
for  almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of
Washington  study.


#5.  Lack  of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.


#6.   Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of
water  a day could significantly ease back and joint pain
for up to  80% of sufferers.


#7.  A  mere 2% drop in body  water can trigger fuzzy short-term
memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on
the computer screen or on a printed page.


#8.   Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of
colon cancer by 45%,  plus it can slash the risk of breast
cancer
by 79%., and one is  50% less likely to develop
bladder cancer. Are you drinking the  amount of water
you should drink every day?



COKE

#1.    In  many states the highway patrol carries
two  gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from
the highway  after a car accident.


#2.  You  can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke
and it will be gone  in two days.

#3.   To  clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the
toilet  bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour,
then  flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes
stains from  vitreous china.


#4.  To  remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub  the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds
Wrap aluminum foil dipped in  Coca-Cola.


#5.  To  clean corrosion from car  battery terminals: Pour
a can  of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
away the corrosion.


#6.  To  loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola
to the  rusted bolt for several minutes.


#7.  To  bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into
the  baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake.
Thirty  minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the
drippings to mix
with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.


#8...  To  remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke
into  the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
through a  regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen
grease stains.  It will also clean road haze from your
windshield.


FOR  YOUR INFORMATION:

#1.  the  active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve  a nail in about four days. Phosphoric
acid
also leaches calcium  from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase  of osteoporosis.

#2.  To  carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the
commercial trucks  must use a hazardous  Material place
cards reserved for highly corrosive  materials.

#3.     The  distributors of Coke have been using it to clean
engines of  the trucks for about 20 years!

Now  the question is, would you like a glass of water?

With those big leaded-glass windows the builders put
in, it's kind of hard to hide when the lights are on inside and you are in the LR. If I'm in my office and DH isn't in the LR either, I just peak out to see who it is. I may have to replace that dumb front door, but the window in the door is the only window in the living room. Stoopid builders.
How do you get stuff off glass stove tops? SM

I have tried the white creamy stuff from Sears, where I purchased stove. That doesn't get everything off.  One site suggested a straight razor, but since I type for a living, I am reluctant to use one (except when shaving legs!). 


Any tips? Please? Thank you.


Oh, Miss Perfect, people in glass houses
It sounds to me like her daughter turned out just fine. I'm sure there are a lot of skeletons in your Christian closet so should keep hypocritical mouth shut, I'd say.
I love my electric ceramic/glass cook top, but
you have to clean the darn thing and keep it clean!!! Its not as hard as taking the electric coils out of the old one and cleaning it. You can turn it off for the last 5-10 minutes of your cooking and it will still be hot just as hot and cut electricity that way!!! DO A LOT OF COOKING IN A SLOW COOKER.... you can even bake in a slow cooker. it costs 2 cents an hour!!!! The oven can cost up to $5 depending on what kind you have!!!
Split up what you have and stagger the pieces, play with it, add some glass, and/or start

Awww...scoop it up with a glass and a piece of paper and place
