Great Book: Uncle Dan's Report Card (Amazon)

This is a FABULOUS book by Barbara C. and Bob Unell. It's an inexpensive ($10+S/H on Amazon) quick-read paperback about how to help today's children learn to build the life skills and strength of character they taught to kids 100 years ago - that kids certainly are NOT learning in most of today's schools and many homes. The authors parallel the important elements of Uncle Dan's report card from 1914 - with how parents everywhere can (and should) do a better job of preparing kids for growing up to be proud and productive members of American society. Simply awesome. Buy it, read it - and then be sure to pass it on.

USA Pans (brand name) - for all sorts of baking
The very best bread pans I've ever found! Non-stick construction (somehow they
do this with the finish of the metal and also the slightly fluted surface) never, ever
sticks. I use a very thin spritz of olive oil spray on everything, just in case, but I
sure don't need to with these pans. LOVE THEM!!! They also have many other
styles to choose from, which I am slowly collecting to replace other types that
aren't nearly as wonderful. Also available at Amazon, but they seem to be less
expensive here at Bed Bath & Beyond - and you can use your newspaper coupons
for 20% off! Be aware that not all locations stock them, so if you have more than
one BBB in your town - call ahead first. And best of all... they're made in the USA!!!

Expandable Cat Play Tunnels
There are many of these available out there, but this one looks especially cool if
you have the space for it. Most are between 3' and 4' long when unfurled. Be sure
to get one with the hole(s) in the top for them to peek out of. Just Google "Expandable
Cat Tunnels". They fold back up to nearly nothing and have ties for storage. Sturdy.

Shark Cordless Vacuum
This is REALLY a life-saver for me. The big vac we have is gynormous and weighs a ton because of the Heppa filter system for my asthma. So, I rarely use it. But this little dynamo is the best thing I've found since, well, since whenever! Follow directions and fully charge before first use, then allow it to fully discharge (which takes FOREVER) before charging back up again. Beware that it feels pretty "tinny" and you'd never think that it really works - but it isn't tinny and it really works. Picks up cat hair, cat litter, anything we've tried except it wasn't too great on glitter. But it really works great and I love it! Get one for upstairs and also one for downstairs. Grab it, swoosh, swish, and the rug looks great. Finished in the time it used to take me to even find the big vac, which we still use about once a month for asthma purposes and deep cleaning. And the cats don't even run from this one. Be sure to use the carpet setting on carpet.

Fabulous Can Opener

Amazing Chinese Chicken Salad:
Joey D's Chinese Chicken Salad Recipe (and how to get the dressing information)

Here's our Favorite Chinese Chicken Salad recipe:
Tyson Lightly Breaded Chicken Tenders, cut into bite-size cubes (when you bake them the non-fat coating is crunchy) from Sam's Club Lg. can Mandarin Oranges (lots, and add at the end as they are delicate) Red Onion thin or Green Onion tips Romaine Lettuce (others won't stand up to the dressing) Tiny Chinese Noodles for more crunch (don't like the big ones - too hard on old teeth) Toss with Joey D's Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing
Yum!

BATH & BODY

Stay softer and smooooother this winter, and less itchy, too!
After you turn off the shower, rub this all over while you're still wet. Lightly blot yourself dry
and see the difference in your skin all over after just a few days. USE REGULARLY,
especially in dry climates. For absolutely best results, follow up with a good body lotion on
legs and arms for daily walking around. Remember that dry skin is also itchy skin.

The best body soap out there!
I've been using Dr. Bronner's Liquid Peppermint Soap since college, which was a long,
long time ago! It smells absolutely marvelous while you're in the shower, but you don't
end up smelling like a candy cane when you're dry. It's a pure, light, cleansing soap that
will never let you down. And, it's amazing at washing stinky pets and getting rid of skunk
odors. For little dogs with no hair or cats who don't like a bath (hellooo), or when it's too
cold for a real bath, mix a little in some warm water in the sink and use a wash cloth dipped
in the solution to wipe them down. No need to rinse as long as the solution is weak. Great
stuff!

Great daily pick-me-up for color-treated or permed or damaged hair:
Hask Placenta Leave-in Hair Treatment is absolutely fab! I've been using it every single day
for nearly 15 years. Just spritz a little on towel-dried hair and comb through. There is no change
in texture, will not weigh your hair down, but it just adds that extra little "umph" and takes away
a lot of friz. I have very fine, limp hair - and wouldn't be caught dead without it.

A great new daily conditioner for color-treated or permed or damaged hair:
Pureology Serious Color Care Antifade Complex is just a really great, light but very effective cream rinse, if you will. I use about a 1/2 dime size daily, rub through hair thoroughly, and then rinse! Don't forget to use your Hask above, also. This smells fabulous (a very light minty scent), and should be great for all hair types. A little more expensive than some, but oh, what a great product! Usually available
at better hair salons and beauty supply outlets or here at Amazon.

Keep your red hair color from fading as much:
I use a half & half mixture of Rejuvenol Brown Color Enhancing Shampoo and ARTec Orange Gold Color Depositing Shampoo every day to keep my red hair color bright and sparkly between color touch-ups. Just shampoo lightly and apply Pureology cream rinse and Hask Placenta, and dry as
usual.

Great Body Moisturizer for Winter
Usually available at WalMart, drug stores, Target, etc., but here's a photo on Amazon. Great stuff,
not to heavy, lasts all day. Use each morning on legs and arms, especially in Winter.
