BATHROOM DRAMA

Well it is time for another good story of drama in our family. This one is about my son. He called and was telling me what happened to him in the bathroom at work. lol.
Now just what do you do when you look down and here comes a flood while using the toliet. Getting caught with your pants down can sometimes be a bad thing. lol.
While using the bathroom  and talking on the phone I don't guess you pay much attention to the floor. But when you look down and see water covering the bottom of your pants I guess you will get up in a hurry.
 That is what happened to him the other day.
 He was in the bathroom and someone flushed the comode on up from him. So with him on the phone he really did not pay much attention to water coming all around him until he looked down and his pants was wet. lol. Now here he was trying to get his pants legs up out of the water and clean his ...... all at the same time and the water getting deeper.
I guess he wished he had four hands instead of two. lol. Someone had put so much paper in the comode and it had overflowed and leave it to him to just be in the bathroom. Everyone got a good laugh at him having to wear wet pants around work but his tennis shoes covered them so at least he never got his legs wet.
So long story short make sure to look down when you are on the comode. lol. Never know what may come floating by..........

USE FOR BREAD AND BUTTER PICKLE JUICE

We all know how good bread and butter pickles makes a cheeseburger taste so much better. So what do we do with the juice that is leftover in the jar. You just hate to throw it out.
Take some chicken breasts or chicken legs and wash it good. Pat dry with paper towels.
Put the chicken in a ziplock bag and then pour enough juice over the chicken to use for a marinate. Zip up the bag and sit in a bowl in case it might leak.
Let sit in the juice overnight in the ref. and take out and either grill or bake it. This gives the chicken such a good flavor. Almost like the italian dressing flavor.

HOW TO HANG A GROUP OF SMALL PICTURES

Do you have a group of small pictures you would like to hang but hat to make so many holes in the walls trying to get them hung right and spaced out right.
Take and measure the wall where you want to hang them, the with and length.
Then take some wax paper and tape it together to make the wall size you want to use.
Put the pictues on the wax paper ever how close together or far apart.
Work with them until you get them right.
Flip the pictures over so that the hangers are faceing up. Now take another piece of wax paper and put over the pictues the size of the bottom one. Put a dot with a marker where the picture hangers are.
Take the wax paper and put a piece of scotch tape on each side of it. Hang this on the wall after you have got it straight.
 Make sure the tape will not damage the wall. Take a nail or screw where the dots are drive it into the wall. Take down the wax paper and then hang up the pictures. They should be the way you want them to look.
