Why You Should always Have A Jar Of Peanut Butter Handy

Did you know that peanut butter is not only great to eat, it also has a multitude of uses. You will be surprised at just how much you can accomplish with a jar of peanut butter.

The most surprising fact that I found out about peanut butter, is that mice love peanut butter more than they like cheese. Why then do so many population use cheese in their mouse traps. Peanut butter has been proven to work a lot more effectively in catching these small rodents.

Because it tastes so yummy, and the kids love it, why not use it to get your child to take his medicine. Try mixing their medication with a spoon full of peanut butter, and you won't have any problems getting them to take it.

Why You Should always Have A Jar Of Peanut Butter Handy

Another great use for peanut butter is the fact that you can use it to take off stubborn price tags. Often you battle to get rid of the glue that is left behind after you pull a price tag off. All you need to do next time this happens is to place a dollop on the affected area and then rub it with a cloth. This trick works wonders.

Peanut butter can be used in the kitchen to get rid of smelly odors. When you fry fish for instance, that fishy smell is left behind in your kitchen for hours and sometimes days afterward. To solve this smelly problem, drop a tablespoon into the frying pan that you cooked the fish in and fry it for a combine of minutes. Guaranteed that within a half an hour you won't smell any fish.

Peanut butter works well on rust. You can use it to lubricate rusty hinges, squeaky orchad gates, rusty lawn mower blades and just about any rusty parts that you can find.

I am sure you have already heard how good it is at removing chewing gum from your children's hair, but did you know you can use it to take off gum from any other objects like carpets, wood and clothing. You can also use it to clean your leather furniture. Plainly rub a small amount onto your furniture in a circular motion, then take off with a buffing cloth. If you don't like the smell, try mixing it with a few drops of perfume before applying it to your furniture.

Believe it or not, you can also use it as a shaving gel. Use it like you would your general shaving gel, and you will find it works just as well as the more expensive products. The oils in the butter are great for your skin, so you probably won't even need an after shave balm. Just remember that the plane variety works far better for most of the above tasks than the chunky kind.

Living On A Floodplain, Checklist for Not Getting Caught With Your Pants Down

You've found the exquisite house in the country, it's everything you've been looking for, and it's in the floodplain. If this is the home for you, then be ready to do a miniature research prior to buying or renting.

We found the exquisite miniature farm on a 30 acre peninsula to rent. We were told it was on the floodplain but nothing to worry about as it had been raised up and was on a higher foundation. It was rural and in the country where we wanted to be.

Disposable Mouse Traps

We conception the openings in the foundation were for the dogs or storage. We never gave any conception that it might be for the river to flow through. There were other farms along the river but we didn't think to talk with any of them. Two weeks after enthralling in we woke up to the sound of water lapping on the side of the house. We were caught with 'our pants down', totally unprepared. That was the first and last time we were unprepared.

Living On A Floodplain, Checklist for Not Getting Caught With Your Pants Down

As my husband stated, "the river is merely reclaiming her river bed for a short time." If you are going to live on or next to the river or in the valley, you need to accept that and be prepared.

Checklist to resolve if This is Where You Want to Live:

Talk with the current residents or tenants of the house and ask them how often it floods, how high does the water get, how long does the water stay up, has the water ever come in the house, where can you park your car so its out of the water, and any other questions you have. Talk with neighbors and ask them the same questions and also ask them how long they have lived there, and any other pertinent data they can share with you. Is it safe to remain in your home during a flood? Talk with the local fire agency and find out everything you can from them. Ask what happens if you need to be evacuated during the flood. Get the number for flood control and get the data for your address. Find out the river levels and patterns, etc. If a small community, talk with the local barber, they always seem to know every person and everything. Is there a flood warning system, what does it consist of? Check the house for any structure damage. Will your owner understand your living on the floodplain, being flooded in for days at a time and having to leave work when the river is at a obvious height so you can get home before the road goes under? There's also the matter of flood guarnatee and what flooding does to the value of the property.

Get your answers and look at the pros and cons of living on the flood plain. Is this still the exquisite home for you? Can you handle living on a floodplain?

We got our answers after the first flood, but for us it wouldn't have made a inequity as this was where we wanted to live. Flooding was just a minor inconvenience that could happen everywhere from two to six times a year from November through March depending on how much rain we received. It was an old two-story farmhouse in the center of the major flood traffic area.

When the river was over the banks it would start flowing right over the peninsula between the house and the barn. The barn was on high ground, the animals, cars, and machinery were dry. The house was on a foundation and the water flowed through the openings in it. It was similar to being in a houseboat in the middle of a lake. The boat was tied to the front porch and we would boat to the barn to do chores.

We were fortunate to have insight employers and were able to work from home.

Checklist for Living on the Floodplain:

Keep your pantry or cupboards stocked with canned food items and bottled water. Have an excess of bottled water. If you have a well, the water may be cut off or contaminated. Have a good furnish of paper plates, disposable glasses and silverware. Photograph all personal asset and possessions for a perfect inventory. Keep valuables, guarnatee papers, and legal documents in a dry, derive place. Keep an excess of batteries for flashlights, radios, and lanterns. Have mouse and rat traps available. Rodents that are losing their homes may try to move in with you. Have a camp stove and a large cooler accessible. If you lose power or have to turn it off due to water coming in, you can keep food in the cooler and cook on the camp stove. If you have kids make sure there are plenty of things for them to do while being flooded in. Make this a family time and fun time for them so they won't be frightened. Listen to flood control by phone or computer and be ready to move items up and out of the water, if it looks like water is going to come in your home. If water is going to come in your home, shut off the electricity, gas, and water.

Checklist for After the Flood and Water has Receded:

Call your guarnatee agent if you sustained damage. Test and purify your water. Before cleaning up, photograph all damage caused by the flooding. Your guarnatee agent and Fema will need it. Clean up as soon as possible inside and outside. If water came in, open the windows and doors to bring in fresh air, muck out the mud and silt with a shovel. Disinfect everything the water has touched: floors, walls, household items, etc. Check your appliances for water, dry them out, disinfect, and assistance them prior to using.

Please remember, just because you haven't flooded yet, does not mean you won't flood at some point. When you live on the floodplain, it's best to be prepared.
