One of the greatest cooking tricks of all time!

Om'gosh! OK so, John and I are in the store buying stuff to make homemade chili. We're at the check out and the cashier says "I love you people! You put the onions into a bag instead of having onion skins getting all over my check out counter." Then she says, "Want to know how to get the onion smell out of your hands after you cut them?" We're like "Oh, heck yeah!" since we use onion in almost everything we cook. So she says, "After you cut the onions up, rub your hands onto any kind of stainless steel such as your kitchen sink." We were like "OK, Cool we'll try that." So we got home and cut up the onions and it so worked! No more scrubbing my hands for days trying to get the onion scent out! Thank you random check out girl, we're forever in your debt!

So, Here's a few tricks that I know about now:

1. onion scent on hands listed above.

2. slowly dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar on the back of your tongue to get rid of hiccoughs.

3. look at any kind of bright light (preferabley NOT the sun ><) if you need to sneeze, it'll get those stubborn sneezes out.


Just thought I'd share those hints with ya'll. If you know any more hints or tricks please, by all means share them! =)

WordPerfect Operator vs. Caller

ROFL! Om'gosh this was so dang funny! Thanks Nick, I'm still laughing. It's a bit long but so worth the wait...

This has to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the WordPerfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department.. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for 'Termination without Cause.'

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):

Operator: 'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller: 'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator: 'What sort of trouble??'
Caller: 'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator: 'Went away?'
Caller: 'They disappeared.'
Operator: 'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller: 'Nothing.'
Operator: 'Nothing??'
Caller: 'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator: 'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'
Caller: 'How do I tell?'
Operator: '
Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the screen??'
Caller: 'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator: 'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller: 'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I type.'
Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'
Caller: 'What's a monitor?'
Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??'
Caller: 'I don't know.'
Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??'
Caller: 'Yes, I think so.'
Operator: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: 'Yes, it is.'
Operator: 'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??'
Caller: 'No.'
Operator: 'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller: 'Okay, here it is.'
Operator: 'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.'
Caller: 'I can't reach.'
Operator: 'OK. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller: 'No.'Operator: 'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??'
Caller: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark.'
Operator: 'Dark??'
Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.'
Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller: 'I can't.'
Operator: 'No? Why not??'
Caller: 'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator: 'A power .... A power failure? Aha. Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer came in??'
Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'
Operator:'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer!!!'

Twilight family night.

We went and saw Twilight together as a family last night. I usually do like vampires anyways but, I'm gonna have to say that this movie was one of my favorites of any I've ever seen. It was a really awesome show! Lots of action, adventure, romance, comedy, drama, you name it, this movie has it. I was really impressed and will definetly be buying this one on DVD.
