I just finished a lovely home painting job, and it reminded me that I have a practical home tip for you today. Leftover latex paint from a project can come in handy for future touch-ups, but storing a nearly empty can isn’t always ideal. A smart way to save that small leftover amount is to transfer it into an empty water bottle. First, drop four to six clean marbles in the bottle which will help mix the paint later. To make pouring easier, place a roll of tape on the table with a rag over it to hold the bottle steady, and use a funnel to avoid spills. When you are done, remember to clearly label the bottle before storing in a cool, dark place. When it’s time for a touch-up, just give the bottle a good shake and the marbles will act like mini stirrers to blend the paint evenly. This trick keeps the paint fresher, easier to handle, and always ready for a quick fix.
The upcoming joke seems to be packed with amusement, so we might want to give it a go. It’s entitled “Medical Release.”
Claire asked the judge to be excluded from jury duty:
“Yes, Your Honor, you see, I’m afraid the side effects of my medication could interfere with my ability to render a fair verdict.”
“What are you taking?”
“Allergy medication.”
“And what are the side effects?”
“Guilty, guilty, guilty. I feel guilty, and it’s contagious!”
?!
And now we have a heartline from Ngwa Damaris Ngum in Cameroon
