I have gotten a bit busy and allowed myself to not pay attention to the blog like I should have…I am trying to prepare for what is coming and been trying to read a bit more and I have gotten into reloading ammo recently. I will do my best to blog again and for those that read them I hope they help in some way.
The economy is crashing and will only get worse, with about 32 billion dollars a month alone being spent on interest and the government printing more and more money that is the only end, but then there is so much more spending that they do also. So what can you do to save some money? I have read about people making their own mouthwash, toothpaste, etc. for a pretty low price. But there are so many other things you can do to save money. For example, due to global warming we are being hit with a lot of snow and ice, ok, I’m being sarcastic here, but what can you do to keep your window from frosting on the outside and fogging on the inside?
For your windshield from frosting – mix 3 parts white distilled vinegar to 1 part water and coat the windows with this solution.
Cleaning windshield wipers – if they are blurry when being used – dampen a cloth or rag with some full-strength white distilled vinegar and run it down the full length of each blade.
Inside of windshield from fogging – use foamy shaving cream. apply the shaving cream with a damp sponge and then wipe it off with a paper towel. you will have to repeat this one as needed.
I will admit, at this time I have not tried any of these as I try not to drive a lot when global warming causes cold spells, but I definitely plan to try these and more when I can get to the store.
