If you drink coffee, here is a home care tip. Coffee grounds are excellent natural odor neutralizers and can freshen up many areas in your home. Place a small bowl of dry coffee grounds in places like the refrigerator, freezer, trash can, or even inside cupboards to gently absorb unwanted smells. For smelly shoes, put dry grounds into an old sock or cloth bag, tie it closed, and leave it inside the shoe overnight so the grounds can pull out the odor. You can also use about a teaspoon of fresh or used coffee grounds to remove strong smells from your hands after chopping garlic or onion. Simply wet your hands, scrub with the grounds, and rinse. Enjoy your coffee and a fresh home too.
Sound the trumpets! The joke of the day is marching in! It’s called “Job Reflections.”
During a motivational speech on the philosophy of life, the speaker asked:
“At the end of our lives, will anyone really say, ‘I wish I’d spent more time at work?’ I mean, really, has anyone ever asked themselves that?”
A man raised his hand...
“Yes, sir. I asked myself that right after I got fired from my first job.”
?!
