I Can't Find My Keys!

Searching for misplaced items costs us time and money.  According to the American Demographic Society, American waste 9 million hours per day searching for misplaced items.  A Harris Interactive survey found that 23% of adults say they pay bills late (thus incurring late fees) because they lose them. A few common items that we lose frequently are credit cards, wallets, TV remotes, sunglasses, cell phones, bills and keys. Here are some tips to help you keep up with your stuff.  read full story ]

Focus on One Task at a Time Gets the Job Done Right

So many times, we are so overwhelmed by the amount of things that need to be accomplished that we do not know where to start and we find ourselves running around in circles. It is hard enough to 'just keep up', without the thought of actually getting ahead, so we tend to take on too many tasks at one time.

HOME CLEANING TIPS

Air Freshener
by Cynthia Lewis

1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cups water
 
Put ingredients in a spray bottle, shake well. Spray around the home. Freshens the air, eliminates odors and acts as an antibacterial.
 

 
How to Clean Artificial Flowers:  Put a cup of salt into a paper bag, add the flowers then shake them around for a few seconds. Remove flowers from the bag, shake off salt.
 

 
How to Clean Soft Leather Furniture: Wipe a bar of regular facial soap on a clean wet rag until its soapy. Then wipe furniture down. You might have to keep resoaping the furniture. Keep cleaning until its clean, give it a final rinse off with another clean wet rag, wipe the suds off.
 

Forum Question:  The Topic of The "Ex"

So I've been in a relationship for about a year and my boyfriend had a previous relationship before me that lasted for a while. He's still friendly with his ex and they hang out from time to time. He doesn't like me asking too many questions about her which I think is unfair and it has created arguments between us. Do you think the topic of an ex is off limits?   [ read more ]


Special Notice:

 
Donate Your Used Stamps to Raise Money to Help Cure Leprosy
 
Many friends of The Leprosy Mission Canada help by sending their trimmed, used postage stamps. These stamps are then repackaged into 25 lb. bags and sold to stamp dealers. The money realized from stamp sales is used to supply medicine, care and rehabilitation to people suffering from leprosy.
 
For more information on the Stamp program: click here
 
  • Are particularly interested in the special commemorative issues of Canadian/American postage stamps (but are not interested in regular flag stamps)
  • Welcome all foreign stamps
  • Prefer stamps to be trimmed, leaving a 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch paper border, being careful not to damage the perforations
  • Send your used stamps to:

    The Leprosy Mission Canada
    100 Mural Street, Suite 100
    Richmond Hill, Ontario
    L4B 1J3
    CANADA
     
    Leprosy can be cured with your help.
