My Walk Through Life 2/8/2016


Super Bowl is over for another year. I don't much care about football, but my town was excited last night. Fireworks and people yelling in the streets. My dogs aren't bothered by fireworks (comes from living in Virginia with neighbors that shot guns off all the time, I guess) but my little guy wanted to run out and make a racket with everyone else.
  
I am so sick of the commercials bragging about how much tax money they give back. Not to me, unfortunately. I pay every year. But if you are wondering how to do your taxes this year, do them yourself with E Tax.

Other Uses for Coffee Filters: I have a Kuerig, so need to use up
     my leftover coffee filters:
Use to polish shoes
They are lint free, so they are great for washing windows, computer
   monitors, and television screens.
Poke a hole in the middle and put a child's ice cream cone or 
   popsicle stick through it. It will catch messy drips.
Use one to hold a taco to eliminate juicy mess
They can be used as disposable snack containers, for little ones 
   eating popcorn, chips, etc. 
Place between china when packing or storing.
Use as covers when cooking in a microwave.
Instead of paper towels (which I do not buy), use coffee filters to 
   place bacon or other greasy food after cooking.
Put a coffee filter inside a flower pot before putting in the soil. It 
   will keep the soil in the container and still allow water to flow
Since they are lint free, they are good for spreading oil or butter
   in baking dishes. They won't leave any fiber.
Dampen a filter with white vinegar and add a couple of drops of
   essential oils. Use as a dryer sheet.
If you use cloth diapers, use one or two filters as a diaper liner. 
   Makes it easier to clean up. This is a lot cheaper than the liners
   I used to purchase.
Make a sachet bag filled with baking soda. Secure with rubber
   bands. Keeps these in shoes, gym bags, or any where that
   holds smelly odors. You can pretty them up with ribbon and 
   instead of baking soda, add fragrant flowers. Nice for dresser
   drawers.
Keep them in your car for handy clean ups or washing windows.
