Shit you need to know...

Post by hookahdude » Sat Sep 24, 2011 7:52 am

This is something that may or may not take off, but I had a moment this morning when I used a "tip. trick. or occult (meaning hidden) information" in my daily routing and just thought - "Everybody needs to know this shit!"

Whether it is a shortcut, fact, or practice that makes life easier, what falls under - shit everyone needs to know in your life?

I will start with 2 things that smacked me in the forehead this morning-

1) Putting 1/4-1/2 a cup of apple cider vinegar into the wash will eliminate the odor of pet urine from just about anything.

2)One kup of kale has the following daily recommended amounts - 206% Vitamin A, 134% Vitamin C, and 684% Vitamin K. (No bullshit!)

Next?

White vinegar, for odors. Just a bit works on cat spray.

A spoonful of honey daily will give you Vit B and save you money buying it in costly pill form.
(I think it just 'tricks' the body into thinking or producing Vit B, someone might correct me, but it's what I do for a Vit B boost, usually)

White vinegar will clean out the grunge of a clothes dryer's lint screen (saved me $40++ to replace the screen and the SEARS guy told me! very coool repair guy) this was a good qaulity dryer, and it had that one problem, the owners before had used waaay too many dryer sheets and clogged the screen!

An average dose of 75 to 100 mg per day of Preparation H can help relieve painful episodes of hemorrhoids, but only if applied to the affected area. Never take Preparation H orally.

When making quick breads like banana bread, or zucchini bread, subtitute equal amounts of apple sauce for the oil. The bread is moist, tasty and a lot less calories!

If you have dried blood on your clothing, take some peroxide and put it on the blood stain and it takes it right off! Let it soak it it need more time to work.

If you're out of milk prducts, and you NEED to swill some to relieve hot pepper burning in your mouth, use Milk Of Magnesia instead (it works, trust me) and don't swallow...unless you want/need to.

Coca Cola helps get rid of playa throat, and can give you back your 'lost' voice on playa...no booze needed....please drink responsibly :lol:

Honey has a lot of amazing uses.

You need produced by honey bees local to your area if you want the best results with allergies.

You can also use crystallized honey as a facial scrub and save a lot of money at a beauty supply.

You can mix 1/3 packet of Emergen-C w/ a dollop of honey and a drop of water to get a nice facial scrub if you don't have crystalized honey.

Shit you need to know.....let's see.....aha:

1. The “Federal” Reserve is not actually federal. It is a private corporation owned by a consortium of very large multinational banks.
2. Except for coins the government does not create money. Dollar bills (Federal Reserve notes) are created by the private Federal Reserve, which lends them to the government.
3. Tangible currency (coins and dollar bills) together make up less than 3% of the U.S. money supply. The other 97% exists only as data entries on a computer screen, and all of the money was created by banks in the form of loans.

4. The money that banks lend is not recycled from pre-existing deposits. It is new money, which did not exist until it was lent.

5. 30% of the money created by banks with accounting entries is invested for their own accounts.

6. The American banking system, which at one time extended productive loans to agriculture and industry, has today become a giant betting machine. By December 2007, an estimated $681 trillion were riding on complex high risk bets known as derivatives – 10 times the annual output of the entire world economy. These bets are funded by big U.S. banks and are made largely with borrowed money created on a computer screen. Derivatives can be and have been used to manipulate markets, loot businesses, and destroy competitor economies.

7. The U.S. federal debt has not been paid off since the days of Andrew Jackson. Only the interest gets paid, while the principle portion continues to grow.

8. The federal income tax was instituted specifically to coerce taxpayers to pay the interest due to the banks on the federal debt. If the money supply had been created by the government rather than borrowed from banks that created it, the income tax would have been unnecessary.

9. The interest alone on the federal debt will soon be more than the taxpayers can afford to pay. When we can’t pay, the Federal Reserve’s debt-based dollar system will collapse.

10. Contrary to popular belief, creeping inflation is not caused by the government irresponsibly printing dollars. It is caused by banks expanding the money supply with loans.

11. Most of the runaway inflation seen in the “banana republics” has been caused, not by national governments over-printing money, but by global institutional speculators attacking local currencies and devaluing them on international markets.

12. The same sort of speculative devaluation could happen to the U.S. dollar if international investors were to abandon it as a global “reserve” currency, something they are now threatening to do in retaliation for what they perceive to be American economic imperialism.

13. There is no way out of this morass. The early American colonists found it, and so did Abraham Lincoln and some other national leaders: the government can take back the money-issuing power from the banks.
