![]() How The Red Hat Society Started
While shopping in a thrift store in Tucson, Sue Ellen Cooper bought a bright red fedora because it was very cheap and quite dashing. Later when Sue Ellen read the poem "Warning" by Jenny Joseph, which depicts an older woman in purple clothing with a red hat, she knew that that poem and red hat would be the perfect birthday gift for her dear friend, Linda Murphy. Linda got so much enjoyment out of the hat and poem that Sue Ellen gave the same gift to another friend, then another etc.... One day it occurred to these friends that they were becoming sort of a "Red Hat Society" and that perhaps they should go out to tea.

Our New Motto ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST LIFE IS TOO SHORT SO PARTY WE MUST!!!!
Warning...Warning Miscellanious Place a few pennies in your birdbath. They slow down algae buildup. To stop mosquito bites from itching is to make a paste made from bar soap. Rub until itching stops and allow the paste to dry. Remove later To make bath special for a child, scatter a few flower petals into the water. Baby bottle brushes are perfect for scrubbing Hummingbird feeders. The bristles are small enough to reach into the tiny crevices and strong enough to scrub away tough grime. Mix carrot and radish seeds together when planting. The radishes will mature first and harvesting them thins the carrots. Rinse your hands in vinegar and dry them thoroughly before going outside to work in cold weather. The vinegar conditions your hands so that your fingers will remain limber a little longer. Sprinkle powdered detergent or ground cayenne pepper in the dirt around your sweet corn and it will keep the raccoons away. Dandelions will do a disappearing act if you spray pure white vinegar where the roots were after pulling. Don't worry about the grass, it will grow back quickly. To help cut flowers last longer, apply hair spray. Eliminating the "Blind Spot Some of the most serious automobile accidents occur because of blind spot while driving. First, adjust the driver's side mirror by resting your head against the driver's side window. Then turn the mirror so that you see the side of your car. Once this is set, move your head to the center of the vehicle (so you can see yourself in the rear view mirror). Now adjust the passenger side mirror so that again you can see the side of your car. When you assume the normal driving position, you will not be able to see your own car in either mirror. WATER One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University study. Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
COFFEE FILTERS
Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing. 1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers. 2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling. 3. Protect China . Separate your good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish. 4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter. 5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust. 6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter. 7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter. 8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale. 9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods. 10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes. 11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter. 12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters. 13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc... on them. Soaks out all the grease. 14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers." OH YEAH, THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS.

I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
