The Merrill Dubrow Blog

This was sent to me from K.W. and I couldn’t wait to share it with the blog readers.

All I want you to do is look at the 7 logos for 5 seconds and then read some interesting information about it and let me know if you noticed it.

I hope you enjoyed looking at these logos.

Thanks for your comments.

1. For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won’t refreeze.
    
2. To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out. 
    
3. Crayon marks on walls? This worked wonderfully! A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort
    
4. Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on – no I haven’t done this!. 
    
5. Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning. 
    
6. Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.
    
7. When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn’s natural sweetness
    
8. Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your forehead.   The throbbing will go away.
    
9. Don’t throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice= cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. Left over wine? What’s that? 
    
10. To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief. 

Don’t laugh I only knew about number 7.

• How many did you know about?
   
• Do you know of other solutions for any of these problems?
   
• Any other "did you know" things that you would like to share?

I look forward to reading your comments.

Over the past year or so I have really come to appreciate and respect music a lot more. I am listening to the words, thinking about the meaning and have actually branched away from some of my favorites and am listening to new artists.

Please join me in a fun Friday quiz that lists musical artists and to see if you are a fan of their music or not. We have added a few more choices to make this quiz a little more fun. Enjoy! This will only take 2 minutes.

• If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.
   
• Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM and Chrysler.
   
• Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.
   
• The Mafia is laying off judges.
   
• Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.
   
• Congress says they are looking into the Bernard Madoff scandal. So that means the guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!
   
• Do you have a funny ending to this sentence: "The Economy Is So Bad That . . ."

Please let me know if you chuckled at least for a few seconds?

Also what was your favorite?

I look forward to reading your comments.

This blog was started August 2006. During the last 3 1/2 years there have been over 7500 comments from 1100 different people. I am still amazed at how much I have learned over that period of time and how much I have enjoyed sharing information, thought and ideas.

I would love to get to know you a little better and have a quick 12 question quiz that asks you to pick between two different choices and will take you less than a minute to complete.

I think everyone will enjoy reading everyone’s answers.

I look forward to reading your answers.
