<p><strong>Yesterday as I was speaking to a sick friend I became inspired.  Lightning didn&#8217;t strike and no light bulbs flashed over my head, but my focus for today&#8217;s post came to me like a shot.  Thrifty ways to cure or at the very least ease booboos, owies and other ailments.  Okay&#8230;booboos may not be an &#8220;ailment.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Got a cough?  Chewing two Altoids Peppermints helps clear it up by literally clearing up phlegm and congestion.  Who&#8217;d have known?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Oh&#8230;and though this is certainly not a pretty thing to note&#8230;Altoids also are good for revealing gas.  Again&#8230;chew two. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Got a toothache?  Put oil of clove on a cotton ball and apply to the tooth.  If you lack the oil of clove, and I&#8217;d be surprised if you did have it, soak a cottonball with some vanilla extract and put that on the tooth.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Okay&#8230;I&#8217;m really not trying to get you sick here, but if vomiting is a problem, drink plenty of tea.  The tannins in the tea will relax the stomach contractions that can cause that heaving. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Upset tummies are also calmed by flat cola.   It works especially well on nausea.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Leg cramps (restless leg at night) can be alleviated by (don&#8217;t laugh) placing a fresh bar of soap under your bottom sheet by where your feet will be.  Apparently this works really well for restless leg syndrome and when the RLS comes back it is advised to just change the soap.  Give it a shot.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Warts giving you the blues?  Cut a square of banana peel.  Rub the inside of the banana peel on the wart and then tape the square to the wart.  I don&#8217;t have a wart so I haven&#8217;t tried it, but supposedly something about the potassium works the wart out.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Nose bleeds may stop more quickly when you try this quirky home remedy.  Get a nose bleed?  Have someone place cold keys behind your neck and back.  I heard that a cold washcloth works that way too. </strong></p>

<div style="color: red;"><strong>FREEBIES</strong></div>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Like Nine West on Facebook and while supplies last, you can get a free sample of their Love Fury perfume.  The bottle is very, very cute.  It looks like it has a very high high-heel stuck in it.  Maybe my definition of cute is not quite like yours.  <img src='http://radioshine.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Follow the link below.</strong><br />

<p>Hi, I’m Sally Barton, Station Manager for Radio Shine and these are <a href="http://radioshine.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Reflect0214121.mp3">My Reflections on Living For His Glory</a>&#8230; </p>
<p>Paul, in 1 Corinthians 12: 12 – 26 reminds us that the body is not made of one part but many, each part important in its own function.  He concludes by stating, “If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”</p>
<p>From life’s first cry to final breath we have but a few moments to live for His glory.  Utilizing this radio signal to reflect Christ to our community, your Radio Shine body is complete when you join us on life’s journey – it’s easy to do – share your story, your song at RadioShine.org  </p>

<p><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>I have mentioned this to several people I know, but I haven&#8217;t really shared it during thrifty tips.  I LOVE EBATES.   Ebates.com is a shopping site where you can earn while you buy.  Sign up for an account for free with Ebates.com, and when you shop at their participating store, you can get cash back quarterly.  Ebates.com also has discount codes too.  You wont find all your stores there, but you&#8217;d be surprised at what you do find.  For example, my husband and I like to purchase colognes and perfumes through Fragrance.net.  If we order our perfumes at Fragrance.net but first go through Ebates.com, not only will we get a great price on perfume, but we also will get a percentage of our purchase price back!  Right now that percentage is 12%!  Shopping through Ebates.com does not change the price of the item, it just gives you an added benefit of cash back.  Here is a small list of just a few of the other online stores you can shop at and get money back:  Kmart, Kohls, Red Envelope, Barnes &amp; Noble, New Egg, Bath &amp; Body Works, Gamestop and many, many more.  Check them out at the link below.  Oh, you can also get money for referring friends.  It is  $5 per friend plus they are doing extra bonuses right now through March 31st.    I am not using a referral code here.  You can just head on over.  <img src='http://radioshine.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong><br />

<p><strong>Valentine&#8217;s Day is coming soon, and really even if you feel it was a  holiday created for merchants, it is an awesome time to remember to tell and show the people in your life that you love them.  You also do not have to break the bank to do it, though I must admit, I sure do appreciate a little blingage here and there.  Here are a few things I found that you can make or do to share the love.  <img src='http://radioshine.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong><br />

<strong>Vintage Spool Valentine &#8211; I found this absolutely dear and sweet craft at FaveCrafts.com where it was highlighted.  Thanks to their crediting Maize Hutton and a dash over to Flickr, I was able to locate the fabulous blog where it was originally posted.  This is absolutely a sweet way to pass a love note onto one of your loved ones.  Go follow this link, and the picture is all it is going to take to convince you. </strong><br />

<strong>Let&#8217;s face it, cutie flowered pins are not for everyone, but I do not know of many people who do not LOVE chocolate covered or dipped strawberries.  Follow the link below for a simple recipe, and remember that there are lots of strawberries on sale.  Here are a couple of tips:  Dipping the strawberries can sometimes cause stems to break so feel free to also spoon and ladle chocolate over the strawberries and use a tooth pick to hold them during the process. </strong><br />

<strong>Love Coupons.  All you need is a printer for these dolls, and honestly if you don&#8217;t have a printer, you can pick up some nice paper at the store and hand write some nice coupons to give to your spouse. These coupons of course are also great for the kids to give to mom and dad too, because you add the gift value.  Love, Actually blog has some great printables for this as well as ideas to put on your coupons.  Follow the link below to head over to their blog.</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hear my story reflected in a song, “The Voice of Truth,” by Casting Crowns, as they sing, “Oh what I would do to have the kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone…” </p>
<p>Hi, I’m Sally Barton, Station Manager for Radio Shine and these are <a href="http://radioshine.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/REFLECT020712.mp3">My Reflections on Facing Our Giants</a>…</p>
<p>When I am asked to deliver a message for an event I find I am face-to-face with my giant –speaking before groups of people.  </p>
<p>Recognizing it’s not about perfection, “I choose to listen and believe the voice of Truth that says ‘Do not be afraid, this is for My glory.”  Facing my giant, I find my great joy is sharing an encouraging word with God’s people.    </p>
<p>Is there a giant looming over you?  I pray you “Will soar with the wings of eagles when you stop and listen to the sound of Jesus singing over you.”   Join your Radio Shine friends on life’s journey at Radio Shine.org    </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A national study has been launched to unlock the mystery of happiness.  Time and resources have been devoted to the question, “What makes people happy?”</p>
<p>Hi, I’m Sally Barton, Station Manager for Radio Shine and these are <a href="http://radioshine.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/REFLECT020312.mp3">My Reflections on Happiness</a>…</p>
<p>I wasn’t surprised to learn the results of this study; people who report they are happy are those who are “religious,” give to others and have good relationships with family and friends. </p>
<p>For me, happiness glows in the face of my grandchildren and is grounded in my security, significance and strength flowing from the Lord.   </p>
<p>David, in Psalm 68: 3 proclaims; “May the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful.”     </p>
<p>You have friends at Radio Shine and we’re inviting you into the joy of the Lord and peace that passes understanding.  Join us on life’s journey at RadioShine.org</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey it&#8217;s Dave from the First Light show. As we get closer to the Big Game this Sunday I wanted to share another of my favorite snacks I have enjoyed in the past. It&#8217;s sure to make your Super Bowl get together a big hit. Enjoy!</p>
<h1>Quesadillas</h1>
<p>Yields: 1 quesadilla, 1-4 servings</p>
<p>Ingredients</p>
<ul>
<li>1 teaspoon(s)   butter</li>
<li>1    flour tortilla</li>
<li>2 ounce(s)   cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey jack <a>cheese</a> (or a combination), grated</li>
<li> sliced tomato (optional)</li>
<li> Browned <a>meat</a> or tofu (optional)</li>
<li> Chopped scallions (optional)</li>
<li> Diced avocado (optional)</li>
<li> Sprouts (optional)</li>
<li> Diced bell pepper (optional)</li>
</ul>
<p>Directions</p>
<ol>
<li>Melt the butter in the skillet on medium heat.</li>
<li>Put the tortilla in the pan.  Next, put the cheese and, if you like, a filling or two on half of the  tortilla. Use the spatula to fold the other side of the tortilla over  the fillings.</li>
<li>Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip  the quesadilla over, and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Let the cheese cool  for a minute before you take a bite. Put a little guacamole on top for  extra flavor.</li>
</ol>

<div style="color: red;"><strong>SUPERBOWL SAVINGS</strong></div>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>This Sunday is Superbowl Sunday, and it is the time for fun, friends, family and really odd commercials, and it can also be a real wallet denter.  Sooooo let&#8217;s think of some ways that we can save money on enjoying the Superbowl. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>1 &#8211; If you are having a party, make it a potluck.  Assign different items to different guests.  Some can bring drinks, appetizers, desserts, plates and cups.  You supply the main dish and of course the locale.  This way everyone takes part in the cost.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>2 &#8211; If child care is needed, chip in together and hire some sitters to take care of all the kids at your party. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>3 &#8211; Save time on Superbowl Sunday and prep as many things in advance as you can.  One of my favorite foods for a large group is chili.   Follow this <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooked-chili/" target="_blank">link to a great slow cooker chili recipe</a>.  You can set up an inexpensive chili and baked potato bar with all the fixings.  Because it is Superbowl weekend, you can pick up many of the sides at low cost, because all of these goodies are on sale.  Normally I would also suggest making meatballs and keeping those hot in a crock pot full of sauce.  But if you want to save time, you can buy those big bags of frozen meatballs and save yourself a step.  Ragu is on sale at Fry&#8217;s right now grab a couple of jars.  Toss a bag of frozen meatballs in a crockpot, add two jars of sauce and let them cook on low until game time.  You can make meatball sliders or full on meatball grinders for a very inexpensive Superbowl meal.  Of course you can always grab a big family pack of ground beef and bang out the chili, meatballs and maybe some taco meat for a fabulous buffet.  The meatballs will take a little time, but you can save time in other ways by buying prechopped frozen onions, peppers and even celery (I do this all the time).</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>4 &#8211; Team Spirit &#8211; <a href="http://www.patriots.com/" target="_blank">My team</a> is playing this year, and I will be spray painting my own team shirt.  Pick up stencils or make your own by printing and cutting out the stencils at this <a href="http://www.spraypaintstencils.com/alphabetstencils/alphabet-letters.htm" target="_blank">link</a>. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<div style="color: red;"><strong>WEBSITE</strong></div>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>As many of you know, I love getting free magazine subscriptions.  You never know what kind of information you are going to find.  I have a free subscription for Entrepreneur magazine, and although much of it is well out of my income bracket, I always find interesting articles.  The latest had an article on entrepreneurship opportunities that military veterans have been pursuing.  The article included some fabulous websites that I think could be a benefit to a veteran you may know.  These websites can help veterans start businesses.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>SBA.GOV website is loaded with information for everyone, but they have an awesome page for the Office of Veterans Business Development with many links to programs and resources for veterans to get information on loan programs for veteran owned small businesses. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>LINK:  <a href="http://www.sba.gov/about-offices-content/1/2985" target="_blank">SBA Office of Veterans Business Development</a></strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>US Department of Veterans Affairs helps small businesses become certified as Veteran-owned small businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses.  Once certified these businesses can become eligible for even more programs.  Their site, vetbiz.gov is loaded with information.</strong><br />

<div style="color: red;"><strong>USES FOR BAKING SODA</strong></div>
<p><strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Last week I posted many, many uses for used coffee grounds and also left over coffee.  This week I thought I would share some uses for baking soda.  Baking soda is relatively inexpensive and something we usually have on hand for baking, but there is so much more you can use it for.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>1 &#8211; Okay&#8230;we all know the obvious, but in case you do not, put an open box of baking soda in the fridge to absorb icky odors.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>2 &#8211; Tooth whitening paste &#8211; Back in the mid 80s when tooth whitening products first hit the scene, my friends and I found that you could combine baking soda and 3% hydrogen peroxide into a goopy paste and mimic the whitening formulas.  We were college students on a very limited budget and really were pleased with the results.  You can also simply use baking soda as a simple toothpaste.  It isn&#8217;t tasty, but it is effective and really makes your teeth feel pretty awesome.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>3 &#8211; Silver Cleaner &#8211; When my silver gets a little grubby, I mix up some baking soda and water and gently rub it into the silver.  Tarnish comes off easily and leaves behind a nice shine.  I have not used it on large silver pieces, but I have used it on silver chains, rings, and flatware.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>4 &#8211; Baking soda and water make a great gentle scrub for your face.  It is gritty so you will need to rinse quite a bit, but you will feel squeaky clean and exfoliated without overdoing it.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>5 &#8211; Hair clarifying &#8211; A teaspoon of baking soda mixed in with your daily shampoo is all you need to use to remove a week&#8217;s worth of product build up in your hair.  This is really something you only need to use once a week.  Trust me, I lived in the hairspray capital of the US back in the 80s and 90s, and all it took was this little trick to safely and inexpensively remove that build up.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>6 &#8211; Fruit and veggie rinse &#8211; Add a tablespoon of baking soda to a bowl of water and use the mixture to clean off your fruit and veggies.  It works wonders with getting off the dirt and other residues.  Be sure to rinse well when done, because baking soda is not tasty.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>7 &#8211; Keeping baking soda nearby when cooking is a great tool to have on hand in case of grease fires. </strong><br />
<strong>Baking soda will smother the fire.  Be sure to put some distance between you and the flame before tossing the baking soda onto it, and of course if you can safely do so, turn off the appliance.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>8 &#8211; Clean a curling iron &#8211; Just as your hair can hold a build up of hairspray and product so can your curling iron.  The nice thing is they clean really well with the use of baking soda.  Make a mixture of equal parts baking soda and water.  Take your cool and unplugged iron -let&#8217;s repeat for emphasis&#8230;COOL AND UNPLUGGED CURLING IRON, and rub the iron with a soft cloth and the baking soda and water mixture. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>9 &#8211; Keep your sneakers from getting funky by sprinkling them with baking soda.  I like to do this at least once every two weeks. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>10 &#8211; Room refresher &#8211; Sprinkle baking soda on the floor.  Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes and then vacuum up.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>11 &#8211; When your kitty litter box is cleaned out but still a little off putting, sprinkle some baking soda on the top and let it sit.  It isn&#8217;t going to harm your kitties toes, but it will take their kitty scents away.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>12 &#8211; Give your sink and pipes a quick clean by putting about 3/4 cup of baking soda in the drain followed by half a cup of white vinegar.  Not only will it clean your pipes but it can also be a natural way to unclog your pipes.  Of course sometimes you still need a plumber, but we have had pretty good results with this as a maintenance method. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>13 &#8211; Car Care &#8211; Baking soda is a great car cleaning tool.  Use it on the chrome, lights and to remove road tar and sap.  Mix 1/4 cup of baking soda with 1 quart of warm water and use with a sponge or soft cloth. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>14 &#8211; Oven Cleaner &#8211; Wipe the oven with a wet sponge or cloth and then sprinkle with baking soda.  Let this sit over night and tackle it the next day.  I have also tossed baking soda on oven spills for a quick clean up when the oven is cool.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>15 &#8211; Upset Tummy &#8211; Use baking soda to relieve acid indigestion.  Follow the directions on the box.  DO NOT OVERUSE.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>16 &#8211; Underarm deodorant &#8211; Yep&#8230;apply baking soda with a puff (you can usually buy these at drug stores in the beauty department) for a natural deodorant.  Note this is not an antiperspirant just a deodorant.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>17 &#8211; Bath &#8211; For a nice relaxing soak that will remove oils and soften skin, add a cup of baking soda to the tub and soak it out.  If your skin is irritated from a sunburn a soda wash will help take the irritation out.  It is also great for a foot soak too.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>18 &#8211; Smelly Fish Hands &#8211; I am so sorry that I wrote smelly fish hands, but I was thinking about how when you have to squeeze out a can of tuna before you use it, and afterward you are left with smelly fish hands.  ICK!  I mentioned how you can wash your hands with used coffee grounds to remove the scent, but you can also wash your hands with baking soda and water.  Scrub them up and remove the stink.  Sorry about the silly side, but I have been eating a lot of tuna lately, and this has really been a priority in the cleaning department.  Plus if you wash your hands in the kitchen sink with the baking soda, it will minimize the odor in the sink.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>19 &#8211; Clean the kitchen or bathroom sink &#8211; Baking soda is a great mild abrasive that you can use to clean your sinks, stove tops and counter tops.  In fact it is also great to use to remove marks on the wall.  It is also nice because it has no bleach.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>20 &#8211; Draw out the stale smell from wash cloths by soaking in 1/4 cup of baking soda and a quart of water.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>21 &#8211; Make beans more digestible &#8211; Okay&#8230;I haven&#8217;t tried this yet, but I have read that if you add some baking soda to the water that you soak your dried beans in, it will help the beans be more easily digestible. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>22 &#8211; Stings and bites &#8211; Baking soda with a little dash of water on a sting or bite is said to remove the ouch.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>23 &#8211; Make a soak for retainers or other appliances.  Add two teaspoons of baking soda to two cups of water or a bowl of water, mix and add the appliance or a retainer.  This will clean and freshen the retainers.  NEVER soak your retainers in mouthwash.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>24 &#8211; Make Play Clay!  Simply combine baking soda, corn starch and water and you can make clay.  Follow this <a href="http://www.armandhammer.com/solutions/solution-20/Play-Clay.aspx" target="_blank">link to the Arm &amp; Hammer</a> site for the recipe.</strong></p>
