I found this recipe for ‘Homemade Dishwasher Pods’ on the internet.
They work well, so I wanted to share it with you.
Ingredients:
¾ cup Lemon Juice – 32oz. Walmart $3.12
1 cup Baking Soda –Walmart 1 lb $1.54
1 cup Washing Soda –Walmart 55oz $5.38
1 cup Kosher Salt – 48oz Walmart $4.00
Mix all ingredients (except Lemon Juice) in a bowl until well blended
Add ¾ cup Lemon Juice - This will fizz and bubble up when added to the bowl. Keep stirring until the ingredients are saturated with the lemon juice.
You need: Sterilite Set of Two Stacking Ice Cube Trays – Walmart $2.43
Pack 1 tbsp. of mixture per hole in an ice cube tray. When the tray is full, go back and push down on each cube so there are no air holes. If you don’t do this, they will crumble.
Leave out overnight, when completely dry, pop them out and store in air tight container.
Ready to run the dishwasher – Place one of these Pods in the dishwasher’s detergent dispenser.
Always use a rinse aid as well.

Recently, a homeowner contacted the office because her hot water tank was leaking down her driveway. She had no idea what to do. There are different types of water shutoff valves. The most common is a ball valve (pictured below). If all else fails, turn off the water.
To shut-off the electricity in the house, pull down on the large switch or Main. There is an electrical panel either outside the home or sometimes in the laundry room of newer homes.
.
The gas shut-off valve is located coming out of the ground and into the meter. Sometimes it will be painted red for easy identification.
Submitted by Jim DeMone
This wrench or an Earthquake Survival Tool is for shutting off the gas valve. Keep it close to the gas meter, so you know where it is at all times.

Learning is about more than acquiring new knowledge. It is also crucial to unlearn old knowledge that has outlived its relevance. Forgetting can be as important as learning.

It is difficult to know what counts in the world. Most of us count credits, honors, dollars. But at the bulging center of mid-life, I am beginning to see that the things that really matter take place not in the boardrooms, but in the kitchens of the world.

A great attitude does more than turn on the lights in our worlds. It seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

A farmer went to the attorney's office and said he wanted to get a divorce. The attorney asked if he had any grounds.
"Yeah, I got about 240 acres," the farmer said. The attorney replied, "But, I mean do you have a case?"
"No, I have a John Deere."
"Well, do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I got a grudge. That's where I park my John Deere."
"No, I mean do you have a suit?"
"Yes, sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
Next, the exasperated lawyer asked, "Well, sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
"No, we both get up about 4:30."
The attorney finally asked, "OK, so why do you want a divorce?"
"Well," said the farmer, "I can't have a meaningful conversation with her!"
