FOOD INFORMATION

"Power outages can occur at any time of the year and it often takes from a few hours to several days for electricity to be restored to residential areas," said USDA Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Richard Raymond. "Foods stored in freezers and refrigerators can become unsafe in just a few hours if bacteria begin to grow and if these foods are consumed, people can become very sick."

Steps to follow to prepare for a possible weather emergency:
Keep an appliance thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer. An appliance thermometer will indicate the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer in case of a power outage and help determine the safety of the food.

Make sure the freezer is at or below 0° F and the refrigerator is at or below 40° F.

Freeze containers of water for ice to help keep food cold in the freezer, refrigerator or coolers after the power is out.
Plan ahead and know where dry ice and block ice can be purchased.

LIGHTSIDE
Jack said to the bartender, “pour me a double, just had another fight with my wife.”

“oh yeah?” said the bartender, “and how did this one end.”

“When it was over,” replied Jack, “she came to me on her hands and knees.”  “Wow!” Said the bartender, “Now that’s a switch! What did she say?”

She said, “Come out from under the bed, you little chicken.”

CLEANING TIPS
Before washing, it is essential that all stains be removed. 
Sometimes Soap or hot water will set a stain and make its removal
impossible.

WARNING:  DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND AMMONIA TOGETHER, THE FUMES CAN
BE DEADLY.
Commercial cleaning supplies can aggravate your allergies and
have long terms effects on your health. You can save on your
house-cleaning bill with very good results using less toxic
substances.

Ø Ammonia - cuts grease, cleans windows, Strip wax off floors.
Ø Baking soda - cleans, deodorizes, polishes, and removes stains.
Ø Bleach - whitens practically anything, removes mould and
mildew.
Ø Cornstarch - cleans and deodorizes carpets and rugs.

*Rug Stains: Use a solution of half water, half white vinegar.
Shirt or blouse stain:  Just a little of water and cornstarch
will remove.
*Grass stains: Dampen stain with cold water, and rub with plain
bar soap. (One without moisturizers).  The stain should come
right out.  Then wash normally.
*Toilet bowl:  use tang, or sprinkle baking soda into the bowl.
Drizzle with vinegar.  Scour with toilet brush.  Cleans and
deodorizes

Berry Stain: Place the stained part over a pot and pour boiling
water over it from a height of about 2 feet so as to strike the stain with force.  Plunge the stained part up and down in the hot water until the stain is removed. If stain is persistent, use Janelle water.

Peach Stains: are not easy to remove.  Be careful not to wipe
hands with peach-stains on a good napkin, towel or apron.  Stretch stain over a pot of hot water and apply Janelle water with a medicine-dropper. Do not allow it remain too long in contact with the fibres.  Janelle water rots even cotton and linen.  Apply oxalic-acid solution to neutralize the alkali and rinse thoroughly in hot water. Several applications may be necessary.

Tea And Coffee Stains.
Follow the same procedures as for berry stains above.

Blood and Meat-Juice.
Never put in hot water as that sets the stain.  Soak at once in
cold water.  Rub with soap and wash. A paste of raw starch mixed with cold water will remove these stains on flannel, blankets, and heavy goods. Repeat until stain disappears.

Egg-Stain:

Wash in cold water, then warm water and soap.

Mix 50-50 water, white vinegar.  Great for stubborn carpet
stains.

HAVING A PARTY?
If you're having a party, provide food with drinks.
Offer non-alcoholic substitutes such as fruit, soft drinks.

2 drinks taken within an hour by a person 100 pounds produces a
075 reading.  One drink is equal to about 1.5 oz. of whisky or 2
bottles of beer. The rate of elimination for each hour after
drinking has stopped is 015.  A 200 pound person, after 1 drink
produces a reading of .019, so you can see there is a big difference due to weight.

As a host it is your duty to make sure no one leaves your party
impaired.  Have some one drive them home.

...a movie description, that's as vague as it gets!!!?

...all that I remember about this, is that it involves gold/green underwater amphibious cyborgs; it also shows an elaborate transformation scene, where a human goes in,his skin changes layer by layer (almost like claymation), and he comes out as one of these cyborgs. There was a hero and heroine, who have been captured, and apparently, they were next to go into the transformation chamber...

...this was a late-night sci-fi chiller, and I DO remember that there was some wacky-sounding music, during the fight scenes...

Please tell me what this is...

...I'm willing to bet that you're talking about the cheezy sci-fi thriller, imported out of Japan, and called "Terror Beneath the Sea"; it starred Sonny 'Street Fighter' Chiba...

...check it out, below!!!
