I hope everyone had a great time celebrating Margarita Day on Friday! I took a polite sip! :-)
If you've been following me on Instagram (go to the bottom of the page), you've noticed that we have a small remodeling project going on in our upstairs sitting area. Wait, I just remembered, I've never shown you guys pics of our upstairs. Well, I'm not going to be able to show you right now because this is a different post. BUT, I will be showing you those "before" photos next week and will be showing the "after" photos in a couple of weeks. We still have a few more things to do before we can call this area a "wrap".
Enough about work, on to the mundane, interesting, fun, boring, etc.
For those of you who have Roku, if you have lost the remote or it is has stopped working, download the app to your cell phone and you can control your TV with the app. This only works if you have wireless internet.
Our remote stopped working so we've been controlling our TV viewing through our cell phones.
If you have friends or family members flying in to visit, type their flight number into Google and you can see exactly where the plane is.
Pretty cool, huh?!
Eating grapes can improve your brain's ability to process new information.
Hmmm, going to have to give this one a try! I'm skeptical!
This is one I will be trying as well, because this ALWAYS happens...to remove a splinter easily, put wood glue over it and let it dry. Once the glue is dry, peel it off and the splinter will come right out.
I got queasy just looking at photos of splinters and splinter removal...the hubster always has to dig mine out for me. Paper cuts and splinters hurt the worst!
Placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth while doing sit-ups will help prevent neck strain.
What's a sit-up? ;-)
Fun Fact: The number 8 -- the percentage of people who have an extra rib!
And remember, learning from your mistakes is wise. Learning from others' mistakes is quicker and easier! :-)
Have a great weekend!

I'll have to try the grape one too. My brain needs all the help it can get.
ReplyDeleteLOL..I'm right there with you!! And I love grapes, so it is a win-win!
DeleteWe had a polite sip also with friends at Tony Tio’s last night. Lol. Very weak sips I might add. Knew about tracking planes and the tongue trick and I eat grapes in a fruit salad everyday so not sure I can testify to that one way or another. I didn’t know you had an upstairs. Hmmmmmm. Still moving stuff in and around. Ugh! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised we didn't run into you! We ate there on Friday as well...Edward had a weak margarita...LOL I knew about the tracking planes, it is pretty cool. I didn't know about the grapes and like you, I eat lots of them...can't tell a difference when I'm trying to remember someone's name...LOL Yes, we have 3 beds/2 baths upstairs...I will be showing a few pics soon. Bless your heart, that is a daunting task and I don't envy you at all. Please call if you guys need us! Love and hugs to you sweet friend!
DeleteInteresting stuff! Didn't know that about the tongue and situps...prob because I don't do situps...
ReplyDeleteI didn’t know about it either…I jumped up and tried it when I read it…pulled something, so I just let it be! 😊 Love and hugs!
DeleteI love the splinter trick - very clever.......and the sit up, I dont understand what difference that would make - interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love that splinter trick also. I seem to get a lot of splinters for someone who doesn't handle wood that often. The most recent one was from a basket...and let me tell you how much that hurt! Wish I had known about the glue! I wonder it if changes the muscle focus in the neck area? I don't know... Love and hugs!
DeleteI love grapes, guess I need to eat more of them!
ReplyDeleteI love them also and eat a good bit of them, but I haven’t been able to tell a difference…I’m with you…more grapes! Hugs!
DeleteI need to eat more grapes and how did I miss Margarita Friday??? Sorry, Benita, I have no idea what a sit-up is....maybe someone else can help with that one! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL...I don't know how you missed it, but maybe you can catch up with Margarita Wednesday?! LOL I tend to stay away from things I don't know much about and I think the sit-up arena is something I don't really want to explore...LOL Hugs!
DeleteI need some grapes. Pronto!! And I'm with Ann...what's a sit up? 😜xo
ReplyDeleteI’m glad it is a food I enjoy, cuz if it was broccoli, I would be out of luck…LOL Ditto here and I have no intention of finding out! LOL Love and hugs!
DeleteThe splinter trick.. that should work for thorns too, I get rose, blackberry and raspberry thorns when I am working in the garden, sometimes even thru my gloves!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to give it a try the next time I get a splinter...I get way too many of them. OUCH!!! Definitely give it a try...I hate thorns as much as I do splinters!! Love and hugs!
DeleteYou can also put tape over a splinter then take it out that way too if they are not too deep. Also, I wonder if the grape theory includes wine.
ReplyDeleteLisa
Good to know! I will give that a try as well! Hmmmm, I think the answer is a resounding YES!! 😉 Hugs!
DeleteI kept saying, "I didn't know that!" And I didn't know any of these so thank you.
ReplyDeleteNow, what did I miss about the margarita?
Dewena, I keep saying that also...every time I run across one of these things! You are very welcome! I do like that it helps me learn something new, whether it is fact or fiction. Margarita Day was last Friday. Like I told Ann, you can celebrate today with Margarita Wednesday! :-) And if you are Jimmy Buffet, it is always Margaritaville, so I think you are good! Love and hugs!
DeleteI love all of these tips Benita. You find some good ones. Have a good weekend sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Thank you ma'am! I always wanted to be a journalist...reporting the news, so this is sort of the same thing, right?!? ;-) Hope you are having a great week! Love and hugs!
DeleteI'm going to need a ton of grapes! But don't need more ribs...I have an extra bone in my foot and an extra disc in my back.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need more grapes! WOW, that is too cool, I think, unless it causes you pain! I have truly never heard of someone having an extra disc…that is so interesting!!! This is why I love this Life Hacks series, I’m always learning something new from the internet or from you all! Love and hugs!
DeleteTotally diggin’ the Roku thing! Thanks for the info. ��
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! It has saved our lives...cuz we binge watch :-)...just finished Downton Abbey...can't wait for the movie!! :-) Hugs!
DeleteLol, imagine messing with your partner while controlling the TV with your phone?!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you what a situp is either, so that's one of those to learn by others' mistakes, I suppose. 🤣
Shhh, I've done that before...LOL He couldn't figure out what was going on with the TV...LOL And you are so right on the sit-ups...LOL Love and hugs!
DeleteYou are adorable, my sweet friend!!! Good hacks, I'll have to remember the splinter one!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! 😊 I’ve been enjoying this series…learning something new every time! Keeps the brain working and eating grapes while I’m doing it! Love and hugs!
