As long as you remove the tea bags before putting in the fridge, I don't find the taste bad. BUT, if I forget to remove them...yuck!

Mine tried to start stuff via text a little while ago and I let him have it, he's frustrated me a little too much today.

Divorce is not a household tip many would want to take advantage of. I have been there and done that and I can't really say it made my life easier.

My husband helps make my life so much easier. Love that guy


Another tip along the lines of getting rid of things, clean out the clutter. Throw away, sale, donate as much as you can in your closet, garage, kitchen, bedrooms, etc. Less clutter clears the mind, clears the space, makes cleaning so much quicker, and you can make some excess money as well.

To continue with this line of thought, one thing I do is if I buy myself a new piece of clothing, I throw out a piece. Helps to keep the closet free of clutter.

you can also pre-spritz ALL the clothes, then store in a plastic bag in the freezer. my mom used to do that.
i am unable to use either bleach or ammonia, so i use baking soda/peroxide &/or vinegar for cleaning.
i put powdered lysine in the cat fountain because Pixel has feline herpes - helps keep the flare-ups to a minimum.
hmm... can't think of anything else right now.

boy, you don't drink tea like i do! i make mine in a coffeemaker, double-strength [6 regular-sized bags to 12 cups], add to sweetened water [again, about 12 ounces], & store in the fridge. if i'm at home all day, i can drink 3 gallons of tea. drink a gallon at school every day! never has time to get that old

But why iron at all? I hardly know anyone who irons these days.

I'm another one that LOVES iced tea. We make sun tea all the time in the summer in one of those glass jugs with the spigot on the side, then we put it in the fridge. Yum!! I didn't realize that tea changed flavor, huh. You must use different tea, then, b/c ours never changes. I've been drinking tea like that my whole life. No one will change my mind, I love it!

One investment I've never regretted was in a good steam cleaner, because it's certainly made my life a lot easier, and made most cleaning solutions totally superfluous. I use it every week on the floors, kitchen, bathrooms, oven and litterbox, defrost the freezers with it, wash the windows and shutters, get wrinkles out of delicate handwashables, clean the hard-to reach parts of the radiators......the list is endless.
