Charlie bought some blue mouthwash and after I gargled with it, my teeth were blue. So you know what I did next. I made my own mouthwash. I recycled my green Carlson's cod liver oil bottle, put vodka in it, added just a few drops of peppermint oil, wintergreen oil, and eucalyptus oil. It came out wonderful but strong so I added a bit of water. I made my own label and taped it on the bottle. Great!
For years I have made my own toothpowder. I purchased some toothpowder for the container and when it was used up, I re-filled the container with Arm & Hammer baking soda which is alkaline and good for teeth. For general household cleaning, I also use baking soda instead of Ajax, Comet, etc. However, I do buy Bar Keepers Friend because it is oxalic acid and when the sink does not clean up well with the alkaline baking soda, the acid Bar Keepers Friend will do the job. I plan to find a source to buy oxalic acid and then I will re-package it in my own container and label.
We went to the ballet "Tune In and Turn Out: Dancing Our Way Through TV Land" ( www. abileneballettheatre.org) at the Paramount Theatre and they are really, really good. Two of the dancers will go on to the Joffrey. One of the choreographers (Lindsay McGill) is as good as it gets, she could work on Broadway. I love live entertainment.
