Useless facts/Chit Chat Thread

Phyllis, glad to hear you're ok. The most frightening part is that the spider was on you....on your EAR!!!! :scared1: Imagine if you had swallowed him!!!! :eek: ok...I feel all creepy-crawly now. :scared:

I have heard that we average swallowing 8 spiders in a lifetime. Any kind of spiders freak me out!

Glad to hear you are going to be OK, Phyllis. Any idea what kind of spider it was?
 
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's
evil plans for you.
Did you know this? I didn't. I never really thought of it before.

Wasp Spray -- A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high
risk area was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday
to rob them when they were counting the collection.
She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and
they recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is
a lot more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too
close to you and could overpower you.
The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the
hospital for an antidote.
She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract
attention from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps
one nearby at home for home protection. Thought this was interesting
and might be of use.

On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in
Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your life.
Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania Southview High
School.
For decades, he's suggested putting a can of wasp and hornet spray
near your door or bed.
Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."

Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than
mace or pepper spray.
The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break
into your home, Glinka says "spray the culprit in the eyes".
It's a tip he's given to students for decades..

It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for
protection, Glinka says look to the spray.
"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out."

Maybe even save a life.
Please share this with all the people in your life

Did you also know that wasp spray will kill a snake?
And a mouse! It will!
Good to know, huh?
 
And if you have a lighter with you, you can turn it into one mean flame thrower!!! :lmao::lmao:
 

Does anyone know where I can pick up a copy of DISBoards for Dummies? :confused3 So far, I can't get pictures to post from my Facebook page without linking an entire album! I haven't been able to superimpose my name over the green mickey ears without inserting a text box which doesn't look that great. And, I have ruined three tee shirts so far ... but I'm blaming that one on cheap transfer paper. :rolleyes1

Edit: Yipee! I am making progress! Have figured out how to customize the green mickey ears and mastered the art of peeling off transfer paper! Yea me!
