Yes, WD-40 - I thought that you might like to know more about this  well-known product.

When you read the "shower door" part, try it.  It's the first thing  that has cleaned that spotty shower door.  If yours is plastic, it works  just as well as glass.  It's a miracle!  Then try it on your stovetop...
Viola!
It's now shinier than it's ever been.  You'll be amazed.

The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes  from the project that was to find a "water displacement"  compound. They  were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40.

The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their Atlas missile parts. The workers were so pleased with the product they began  smuggling (also known as "shrinkage" or "stealing") it out to use at home.

The executives decided there might be a consumer market for it and put  it in aerosol cans. The rest is history.

It is a carefully guarded recipe known only to four people. One of them  is the "brewmaster." There are about 2.5 million gallons of the stuff manufactured each year. It gets its distinctive smell from a fragrance that is added to the brew.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you.

Here are some of the uses:

~Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots
~Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors
~Keeps scissors working smoothly
~Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes
~Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide
~Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on  riding   mowers

~I have even heard of folks spraying it on their arms, hands, and knees  to   relieve arthritis pain.
~Florida's favorite use was "cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers
~The favorite use in the state of New York -- WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
~WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time.

It's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just
that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or
lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.

~Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately, and stops the itch.
~WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
~Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and  dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick  spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
~If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the  moisture and allow the car to start.
~WD-40, long known for its ability to remove leftover tape mung (sticky label tape), is also a lovely perfume and air freshener! Sprayed liberally on every hinge in the house, it leaves that distinctive clean fresh scent for up to two days!

~Seriously though, it removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor!  Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't  seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.

~Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly!
Use  WD-40!

I hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!

OK!!  Happy Birthday Reba....... But I have bigger fish to fry!!   Especially after a few of the reactions!!  So I'm falling back on Sawyer Brown!!   Well wait!!  Not physically!!  LOL!!  Darn!!  But this is a great song!  Sorry Reba!!

(Do you have any idea how excited I get when a download works here??)  LOL!  I'm such a geek!!

This guy has so much energy on stage!!!!!  Love this band!!   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Now, I assume (HOPE!!!) that you all have a Firewall installed on your computer.  VERY important!  Keeps out Hackers, scans for viruses, and most guard against Malware and Adware.  I use ZoneAlarm which is a really good one, as is Norton.  But they cost around $40 a year.  But PC Magazine and PC World have recently written that 'Comodo Pro 3.0' is the best FREE firewall available!!  Better than 'Blue Ice'!  You can register, download and install it at www.comodo.com.  They claim that they will NEVER charge for it or for the updates, EVER!!  So if you don't have a firewall or can't afford one, check this site out!!  And if you want to read a review, go to www.go.pcmag.com/comodopro3.  Like I said, if you don't have one, PLEASE get one!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kevin Love and the UCLA basketball team, already honoring the school's 100 NCAA championships with that unsightly yellow C (Roman numeral for 100) on their jerseys, might soon have another century mark to celebrate. . . .

Running the table to their 12th national title would give the Bruins 100 NCAA tournament victories, matching Kentucky's record. . . .

Nearly half of UCLA's 96 victories came under the direction of JohnWooden, whose 47 wins rank the former coach third on the all-time list, tied with Roy Williams and trailing only Dean Smith and all-time leader Mike Krzyzewski. . . .

It has been 54 years since USC made its only appearance in the Final Four and, one demoralizing drought paralleling another, the same number of years since UCLA won its only national championship in football. . . .

After Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim said the play of its guards would be Stanford's undoing against Marquette on Saturday, junior Mitch Johnson played more like MagicJohnson and had nine points, a career-high 16 assists and only one turnover in the Cardinal's second-round victory. . . .

Magic Johnson's career high at Michigan State was 14 assists. . . .

The NCAA tournament record is 18, set by former Wilmington Banning High jitterbug Mark Wade of Nevada Las Vegas against Indiana in 1987. . . .

Wade, known as "The Disher" when he played for Jerry Tarkanian, unfortunately was in the news again this month after pleading guilty to embezzling more than $15,000 in his former job as an assistant coach at UC Riverside. . . .

Manny Ramirez pocketed 1 million yen ($10,000) after slamming two two-run doubles and being selected hero of the game Tuesday in the Boston Red Sox's season-opening victory over the Oakland Athletics at Tokyo. . . .

Said the slugger, hinting that perhaps even multimillionaires are feeling the sting of inflation, "That's going to be some gas money. I love it." . . .

If Kobe Bryant had opted for surgery on his right pinkie last month, he would still be a few days away from returning to the lineup after sitting out for nearly six weeks, and the Lakers probably would be out of the playoff picture. . . .

With him, they might wind up seeded No. 1 in the West. . . .

Wilt Chamberlain's image deserves depiction on a commemorative U.S. postage stamp, an honor that would put the late Lakers center in the company of other sports luminaries such as Jesse Owens, Babe Ruth, Babe Zaharias and Jackie Robinson, writes Donald Hunt of the Philadelphia Tribune. . . .

You have to wonder what Bill Russell thinks of the idea. . . .

It's hard to believe that, before Lamar Odom did it this week, no Laker had pulled down 20 rebounds in consecutive games since Vlade Divac in 1995. . . .

Shaquille O'Neal had 18 games of 20 or more rebounds during his eight seasons with the Lakers, according to Stats LLC, but never two in a row. . . .

That may have required more diesel than Shaq was willing to expend. . . .

After watching wind wreak havoc with matches in the Pacific Life Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden last week, imagine how the breezy conditions might alter O'Neal's free throws or Steve Nash's jump shots when the Phoenix Suns play an outdoor exhibition there Oct. 11 against the Denver Nuggets. . . .

Says popular but still winless driver Danica Patrick, asked whether this could be the year she finally picks up victory No. 1, "I'm flattered that I still get asked that question because that means that everyone still believes it's out there." . . .

Say what? . . .

So much for the laughable notion that Tiger Woods might go unbeaten. . . .

Is it really necessary for baseball's players union to launch an investigation into why no team has signed soon-to-be 44-year-old Barry Bonds? . . .

Two words: Excess baggage. . . .

Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers, a 270-pounder who last year became the youngest player in major league history to hit 50 home runs in a season, says he stopped eating meat over the winter after reading a book his wife left on the kitchen counter, "Skinny Bitch: A No-Nonsense, Tough-Love Guide for Savvy Girls Who Want to Stop Eating Crap and Start Looking Fabulous." . . .

The 23-year-old vegetarian says the title caught his eye. . . .

No kidding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John was born in Aiken, South Carolina, to James and Marie Berry, and raised in the Atlanta, Georgia area. His father listened to concert pianist Van Cliburn, his mother had a strong taste for gospel, and his brother became an opera singer. John gravitated to both soul and country music and began recording his own albums at home in 1979. Two years later, John started performing solo acoustic shows in northeast Georgia, then expanded around the southeast, building a strong name and following. He eventually made six self-produced albums, with the last one selling over 10,000 copies. He was finally signed to Liberty Records/Capitol Records in 1992.

Berry has contributed to children's charities, and lent his name to such causes as adult literacy and Cystic Fibrosis.

John has been actively recording his own albums with his new independent label, Clear Sky Records. His album Songs and Stories was released in May 2002, and has sold over 25,000 copies at shows, online, and through his Fan Club. For the 2003 holiday season, he re-released his live Christmas CD, O Holy Night Live (formerly titled Christmas Live).

 Speaking of music, we have a Country music station here that plays old and new songs.  It seems as if every time I get in my car, they are either playing a really good new song or an old one that I forgot about.  So I spent the afternoon (productively??  lol) downloading music!!   Some good ones coming up!!

................................................................................................................................................................

Today, the temps here were 20 degrees cooler and tomorrow, another 10!!  A little more like Spring.  Another storm moving down the coast but as usual, it will stop just short of us.  Then it will move east and get all of you!!  LOL!

................................................................................................................................................................

 

Road trip tomorrow.  Have to drive to the FIL's house to try to fix his Verizon DSL!  I'm thinking I will have to uninstall it and then reinstall it!!  The one at the cabin works perfectly!  Hmmmm....!  If that doesn't work,  will insist that Verizon send someone out.  He has been on Dial-Up for years and I was hoping DSL would speed things up for him...... but so far it's been worse!   The other problem could be....  a 6 year old computer.  I keep telling to delete his 'Temp Files', run his 'Anti-Adware' program, quit stopping the 'Zone Alarm' scan, but I guess that is my job!  An occasional 'De-Frag' might be nice too!   Oh well...   Maybe I'll get lunch out of it!!

I'll be here tomorrow afternoon!  Nite!

PS!!  Changed my mind.....  Yet Again!!  sorry.....  Tim Mc Graw week!!  OK??  Good!  Starting tomorrow!!

BTW!!  I have officially lost 50lbs since November!!!!  It's the 'No teeth, No eat diet'!!  LOL  Now, to keep it off!
