Hello Everyone,

Janet writes in a tip to share with all of you:

I store my bananas in the refrigerator. They need to be at
the degree of ripeness that you desire. They will not ripen
further. The refrigerator needs to be about 40 degrees. If
it is colder the bananas will spoil fast. It works better
if you separate them. This way they last very well for at
least a week.

Do you live with a four-legged friend who loves to shed?

Sweep your carpet with a rubber squeegee (or run your hand over it while wearing a rubber dish washing glove) and prepare to be horrified by what comes up.

There's nothing grosser than a couch that looks like you
pulled it out of the alley. Use a spray bottle to cover
your couch with rubbing alcohol, then use a clean white
sponge to rub the couch. Fluff the fibers with a hard
bristle brush when done, and it'll look good as new.
