I stole these ideas from a yahoo group I belong to. I haven't tried them yet. I just wanted to put them somewhere I knew I won't lose them! Let me know if any of these ideas work for you! I am starting with the peanut butter getting scratches out of CD's. I have allot of DVD's I could just toss because Jessica (my 14 year old autistic daughter) put them on her floor. She always manages to find what I hide from her. DVD's are one of her new favorite things to get into. So sad! So sad!

42. When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever
wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or
softness Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores
five days a week Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each
day has a different color twist tie. They are: Monday = Blue, Tuesday
= Green, Thursday = Red Friday = White and Saturday = Yellow. So if
today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is
Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color
Blue- Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. Very
easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the
grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties,
and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You
learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread
with the right color on the day you are shopping.
