Bits of wisdom and a quick hammer video.
When shopping for something mechanical or electronic always weigh each box in your hand and pick the heaviest one. Heavy=good and is more likely to have all the parts included.
The cubed and shredded cheeses in the deli may seem like a good deal but they were trimmed from the middle of a moldy block and re=packaged. Give em the sniff test if you don't believe me.
You can buy off brand Kahlua, it all tastes the same.
You can take a stale bag of chips spread them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 5 min and make them as good as new.
All toothpaste and mouthwashes are the same. They all have the same ingredients Save your money and buy the cheap stuff.
A half a lemon dipped in table salt cleans counter tops better than most off the shelf products.
Always buy generic store brand medicines. Exact same ingredients half the price.
Don't take Tylenol if you drink. Bad combination for your liver. Remember, almost all cold medicines contain acetaminophen as well.
Remember to read something aloud before you hit the leave comment button. (I'm bad about it)
If you drink and blog and have failed to get the word verification correct more than 7 times in a row your comment probably isn't any good anyway.
The word "cunt" should be kept behind glass and only used in emergencies.

Very good tips Hammer, especially the one about the dreaded "c" word. LOL
I'll have to try the lemon dipped in salt, it's probably cheaper than clorox cleanup.
I knew about the cheese thing, because when I was younger I worked at Hickory farms and every night we had to check the cheese and trim any mold off.
If you burn a pan use any cola and heat it up in the pan, leave to seep into the burnt food for about 5 mins and should come off fairly easily. As for grease dried in - meat tenderiser is great for breaking down the enzymes and hey presto! New cook ware (can be used on hotplates and cookers too)
Good tips! How do we protect ourselves from the cheese fiends? Buy a block and shred it ourselves? I was wondering if you mean the Kraft packaged cheese, or just the store deli stuff.
Good common sence, Its hard to find today, should I buy store brand or the Abercrombie & Fitch brand OH DEAR GOD, and yes the"C" word has gotten me in more trouble than I can Shake a stick at.
I agree on the toothpaste. I always do that.
The video pretty much sums it up!
I do a lot of those things you cautioned us about...especially not reading comments before hitting the POST button.
The "c" word gets mixed reviews, but it seems I hear more women use it to describe other women. It just sounds nasty.
The last one with the "c" word is a good piece of advice especially after I told my wife that her brother acts sort of "c**ty" some times. She said she'd rather I not use that word to which I replied "Which word, "c**ty"?"
Good advice, I didn't know that about cheese.
Most new products are just easier to dispense, "Hot Pot" or "Stew Mix" vegetables are ones that have gone over date been taken off the shelves and then the mouldy ones thrown away and repackaged into mixed bags. There is nosuch thing as brand name vinegar,all bottled water is just the same as tap water. It is all just packaging.
mrsjosegoldbloom: I used to love hickory farms for the free samples and easy christmas presents. That's where I first tried Chocolate cheese.
Judith: Damn I just threw away a good pan that had burned BBQ sauce in the bottom. thanks for the tips, It will save me a lot of time and money.
janet: The Deli stuff, the name brand stuff is fresh usually.
fyrmandoug: thanks for visiting :) and yeah it took me about 2 times for me to stop saying that word, I almost went the way of Don Imus ;)
snowmanpoop: The dollar store had South African Colgate 2 for 1 so I bought several. I can't tell a difference and it's fun to read the label. ;)
mushy: Yeah I embarassed myself a few times, it's like walking in during the middle of a conversation and doing the foot in mouth thing lol.
jp: I haven't heard it used much but when I do it seems to have extra juice behind it.
sornie: lol c##ty? Thats funny as hell! I wonder if I could get away with that.
brandon: Yeah I got burned a couple times with smelly cheese.Yuck.
mutley: I noticed the stew mixes looked a little dodgy. I was thinking to myself who would pay $6 for a soft potato and 3 mouldy carrots? Vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol all that stuff is a label it seems.
Yes - good tips.
you can also make your own Kahlua (Or tia Maria) with camp coffee (which i haven't seen in years but is probably still there) and alcool. I don't know if it's any cheaper than the off brands though. You guys in the states get much better deals on booze than we do here in Canada anyway. I don't think our government likes us to drink so much. Adds to the cost of health care.
Love that video and learned a number of things in your "advice column!" :-)
hahahhahaha I always leave comments before proof reading them. Makes for some good comedy sometimes. lmaooooooo
OOoO I don't take tylenol anyway. My husband being an emt. They had tylenol/acetaminophen overdoses. You can over dose easy on that, Takes way to many ibuprophen bottles to even consider an overdose. So...that's what we all take.
You know talking about this they were just talking about making your own home cleaning products by hand on the news here the other night. I dont remember exactly what it was but something interesting anyway.
Great tips, Hammer!!!! As the for the "C" word, I cringe when I hear it!
BTW, you've been tagged. I hope you don't mind. Don't kick my ass for it!
Nothing better than Helpful Hints from Hammer. Chheers!!
"You can buy off brand Kahlua, it all tastes the same."
Not really, but Kapali is a decent cheaper choice.
I don't think I've ever said "cunt" on the Internet, and seldom in real life, it's reserved for the worst of women in my mind.
Good advices ... I'll try to remember them ;)
Hammer, surely there's a time and place for smelly C, big C, and old C other than emergencies?
"If you drink and blog and have failed to get the word verification correct more than 7 times in a row your comment probably isn't any good anyway."
I did that once; you're right!
I make my own kahlua, which is just as good as any brand.
Rules to live by for sure. I especially like the last one. I have a few miscreants that call themselves ladies that I feel that word is appropriate.

Crap I do that sober,,,I'm screwed...
Thanks for the tips. I always use the rule where never get on the computer while drinking. I bought a bunch of stuff on ebay once. Jeez.
LOL...valuable stuff here Hammer!
I NEVER read my comments before posting them...which may explain my last two comments on other post of yours ;)
I haven't shot a nun or smoked crack.
I guess I have a way to go before I die.
Lots of interesting facts and ideas....
I was in a conversation with a couple of people who thought "cunt" was a beautiful word....I don't see it myself. But it can definitely be effective...I don't use it. Maybe I SHOULD!! haha =)
Ah hahahahahahahahaha!!! to the video....that was GR8!! Nearly the best so far, I think!! (next to Odd Sox of course!) ;)
