The fellow answers “no”.
Peter says, “look, work with me, I am trying to help you, think”.
The fellow says, ”Well, I came out of a store and found this old lady surrounded by a dozen bikers. They were shoving her around, and abusing her. I got so mad I threw my grocery bags down, fought through the crowd, and got her purse back. After helping her to her feet, I went to the biggest, baddest biker and told him how despicable, cowardly, and mean he was. Then I spat in his face.”
“Wow”, said peter, “ That’s very impressive. When did this happen”?
“oh, about five minutes ago”, replied the fellow.
WARNING
Here’s the latest tactic by car thieves.
Heads up everyone! Please keep this circulating. You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into reverse when you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space. You notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is
obstructing your view.
When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car jackers appear out of nowhere, jumps into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!
Men, you too are at risk. You can say good bye to your briefcase, and if your like many guys, who keep their wallet in the glove compartment, with your driver’s licence, credit cards, plus.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away, remove the paper later and be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
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.
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.

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 Javelle 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 javelle water with a medicine-dropper. Do not allow it remain too long in contact with the fibres.
Javelle 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.
