Did you know that VINEGAR can be used for...

...a whole lot!!!!???

The uses for vinegar are many, and some new use is always being found. These are just some that can be used at home for our daily chores: Clean windows by using a mixture of water and vinegar. Dampen a cloth with vinegar to remove stains from chrome and stainless steel. Wipe shower walls and door with vinegar-soaked cloth to remove and prevent mildew and mold from growing. Use water and vinegar to rinse glasses and dishes to remove film and spots. Add vinegar instead of water to the coffee maker and run the cycle. Then add plain water and run through cycle again to rinse. Will remove buildup of scale. To remove scale from teakettle, add water and vinegar and let stand overnight. To clean a hardened paint brush, let it simmer in boiling water and rinse in very hot soapy water. Wipe your oven frequently with vinegar, that will help prevent a buildup of grease, making cleaning much easier. Adding a little vinegar to the water will make cleaning your car easier and make it shine. When seats in cane chairs start to sag use a solution of half water and half vinegar. Heat solution until hot, then sponge the seats and place outdoors in the sun to dry. Add a little vinegar to the water when mopping tile floors. It will make them shine and also act as a deodorant and prevent mold and mildew. In the kitchen and the preparing of foods, there are many uses as well: Rinse your fruits and vegetables in a solution of vinegar and water before eating or preparing the food for cooking. Make a better piecrust by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar to recipe. The crust will be flakier. Add a little vinegar when boiling eggs. If there are cracks in the egg, it will prevent the whites from leaking out. Add a teaspoon of vinegar when poaching eggs to prevent separation. When canning or preserving foods, wipe the jars with vinegar. That will prevent the buildup of mold producing bacteria. To improve the taste of fish when cooking, rinse in a solution of vinegar and water. Much of the fishy taste and odor will be removed. A spoon full of vinegar added to the water when cooking cauliflower will make it whiter, and when cooking green vegetables, it will make them greener. Adding a tablespoon of vinegar to gelatin will make it firmer. Add a 1/8 to ¼ cup of cider vinegar when soaking beans to remove the gas from the beans. Cabbage odor can be removed when cooking cabbage by adding some vinegar to the water. To prevent mold from the end of an uncooked ham, just rub some vinegar on it. To make a real fluffy meringue, add one teaspoon of vinegar to 3 egg whites. Adding vinegar to the water when boiling a ham will remove the salty taste and improve the flavor. New Englanders put vinegar on their French fries. It is also used that way in the UK. In health related issues, vinegar has many applications. Some such uses are: For skin burns apply ice-cold vinegar immediately. Use cold compresses by soaking a cloth in vinegar. Using these compresses 3 or 4 times daily. Doing this can prevent blisters from forming. Add 1/2 cup of vinegar to water in a plastic pan. Use to soak your feet to soften calluses. Makes trimming toenails and cuticles much easier. Add 2 cups of cider vinegar to a hot tub. Makes an excellent soak for muscle soreness. This reduces the soreness by adding potassium to the muscles. One of the best uses is making solution of half vinegar and half water, this basically is a solution that could be bought commercially, and was called “Burrow’s Solution”. It is an excellent solution to reduce the swelling and inflammation of a sprained ankle, by applying a cold compress. Use it also for any other injury that causes pain, swelling, and inflammation. The versatility of vinegar makes it practically mandatory that all households have a bottle of white, and a bottle of apple cider vinegar in the pantry. And you needn’t worry about it becoming outdated or spoiling. It doesn’t spoil and can be kept indefinitely.

Work from Home as a CHACHA.COM Guide

Ok, Im SURE you have all heard of CHACHA.COM. Well, they are looking for guides to work for them. A friend of mine is one of the guides so I KNOW FOR A FACT that she does get paid for it. 


How much do you get paid?
Guides can earn a set amount per task completed. Expeditors earn $0.02 cents per completed task and Transcribers $0.03 per completed task. Generalists & Specialists earn between $0.10 and $0.20 per completed task, based on the Category of the question. 


There are several positions but the position my friend has is: she matches the best answers (which other guides have answered) and sends it to the person who is asking the questions (chacha customers). So pretty much...all she does is SELECT the best answers and gets paid for it.


And sometimes, she transcribes messages, too. When someone calls in the 1-800 number, she types out what they are saying or asking and she presses SEND. That's it. 


As with any REAL JOB, you must go through a training process and then atesting to see if you qualify for the job. It's really simple. The training video is only like 30min total (you can stop and watch it whenever) and the test is only 10 questions. You should get an answer back to see if you can work for them or not in about 1-2 days (she got a response the same day). Oh and you must be 18 years old or older.

 Check it out & be sure to put alistprfirm@gmail.com in the referral box. GOOD LUCK! Let me know how it goes for you!

Be sure to put alistprfirm@gmail.com in the referral box.

How To Make $1,000 a month from a Blog with Only 1,000 Page views per month

You don't need a lot of traffic to make money by blogging. You just need to maximize the amount of money you make on your current traffic.

Take for example, the blog running Google Ads. On average those ads net $1 to $2 CPM. That means you'll make a buck or two when the ad is shown 1,000 times. Considering that many blog don't even get 1,000 page views a month, and you can see why I'm not so big on Google Ads anymore. 

Luckily, there are ad networks that pay a lot more than Google, and by far the most profitable ad network for low traffic blogs is Social Spark.

What Is Social Spark?

Social Spark allows bloggers to monetize their blogs with sponsored content. Most of the time, this content is done with a blog post, but there are also sponsored videos and social media campaigns as well. Social Spark is ideal for low traffic blogs because the effective CPM is extremely high.

What's great about Social Spark is that they are always dealing with very high quality and well-known brands. You will actually be writing about content and services that you enjoy using and writing about. Disney and Sears have been some of the huge brands making the most out of their partnerships with Social Spark.

How To Make Money with Social Spark 

1. Sign Up
   Create a profile in SocialSpark.
2. Add Properties
   Link your blog to SocialSpark. You will then be asked to authorize Google Analytics and Direct Publishing on one of their supported platforms.
3. Browse Marketplace
   SocialSpark provides you with Offers and Leads from Advertisers, collectively known as Opportunities. Each Opportunity details what the Advertiser would like you to blog about and how many SocialSpark Points you can earn. You can accepte the terms of these Opportunities as defined by the Advertiser or negotiate terms.
4. Write Your Post
   Once you have found an Opportunity you like you, write a blog post within SocialSpark. Your post is submitted back to the advertiser for approval.
5. Get Paid
   Once your post is approved it is published to your blog via Direct Publishing. After 30 days, you are paid your points. You can convert your points directly in to cash and receive payment via PayPal.

How Much Can You Make with Social Spark?

The great thing about Social Spark is it's not very traffic dependent. I would get paid the same amount to write about Disney as a blog with less than 1,000 page view per month. Obviously, this is not fair (you can negotiate a higher rate) and it's the reason you hardly see any Social Spark posts on my blog.

For the low traffic blog, Social Spark is a gold mine. I've seen many blogs with less than 1,000 page views per month making $100 to $1,000 per month off the network. This is worlds away from the $1 to $2 you would make off Google AdSense.

Give Social Spark a try and watch your blog income reach new heights. Have a great week!

Clorox vs. Peroxide VERY interesting & inexpensive!

GREAT INFO! Thanks for chance.press for emailing this article to me!! 


This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana 
(a doctor's Wife). 

She was over recently for coffee and smelled the bleach I was using to clean my toilet and counter tops. This is what she told me. 'I would like to tell you of the benefits of that Plain little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. What does bleach cost? 

My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, And most doctors don't tell you about peroxide. Have you Ever smelled bleach in a doctor's office? NO!!! 

Why? because it smells, and it is not healthy! Ask the nurses who work in the doctor's offices, and ask them if they use bleach at home. They are wiser and know better! 

Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's chlorine, folks! And it was used to kill our Troops. Peroxide was invented during WWI in the 20's. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals. 

Please think about this: 

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and 
hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.) No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash. 

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs. 

3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters. 

4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria. 

5. I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed a 
50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them(especially the toes) every night and let dry. 

6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with any medicine but was healed by soaking in peroxide. 

7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and Water and keep it in every bathroom to 
disinfect without Harming your septic system like bleach or most other Disinfectants will. 

8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose 
into a tissue. 

9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly. 

10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through. You will not have the peroxide-burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, reddish, or dirty blonde. 
It also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change. 

11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help get rid of boils, fungus, or other skin infections. 

12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary. 

13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing, which is why I love it so much for this. 

14. Another place it's great is in the bathroom, if someone has been careless & has peed on the floor around the toilet & it's begun to smell of urine. Just put some peroxide in a spray bottle & spray. In the blink of any eye all the smell will be gone & the bacteria eliminated! 

I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! 
With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner! ' This information really woke me up. I hope you gain something from it, too. 

Pass it on! Clorox vs. peroxide VERY interesting and inexpensive
