Look what i found!!!!!!!!
Thank YOU GUYS (Spike et al) for my commemorative thingy. Wise and wordy aside, I can easily relate to the junk drawer in the kitchen where you put everything you don't know what else to do with but can't toss away. So this thread is apt. Kind of.
Why didn't anyone mention this to me? (Pinkie, I have e'd you and you me daily for yrs, so I guess I'm aghast that such an important thread was not brought to my attention. I'm just saying! I was just passing by... And was drawn here by some mysterious force.
Well, here's my contribution -- THE WONDERS OF WD 40:
... protects silver from tarnishing
...keeps flies off cows
...removes lipstick (crayons and tomato) stains
...loosens stubborn zippers
... untangles jewelry chains
... keeps scissors working smoothly
... removes bug guts from your car
... keeps bathroom mirror from fogging
... placed on body joints can relieve arthritis
... attracts fish, spray on live bait or lures
... takes the sting out of fire ant bites
The basic ingredient is FISH OIL...
And -- yesterday was my 15th cancerversary. 7/24/09 will be 1 year that I am off Vitamin H (Herceptin) after 10 yrs!!!!!!!!!!
 I'm just saying. Plan on sticking around, working my way up to my 2,000th post...
