CRAZY ME- Car with no driver

I was stopped at a red light down in Franklin, Tn. and just happened to look back in my mirror. The car behind me had no one in the driver's seat.

Now is this my eyes playing a trick on me or are they really no one back there. It was at a large intersection and it took a while for the light to change. So I kept looking back and no one was there. I thought, have they passed out or are they sick and laying down. What will happen when this light changes.

Is the car going to roll and hit me in the backend and cause me to hit the car in front of me. All these things was going thru my mind as it was Christmas time and the traffic was bumper to bumper.

I just happened to glance out of my passenger mirror and low and behold there was a man sitting on that side of the car. I looked again and there he was. Now this was a older type Honda and just why was he sitting on the wrong side. I guess he must have got the car from someone who delivered mail. lol.

But boy it sure had me fooled for a spell. I thought for a time that there really are ghosts. lol.

CLEANING A SHOWER HEAD

If you are like me and always forgetting to clean the shower head then here is a quick tip to clean it. Take it off and get a ziplock bag and pour 1/2 cup warm white vinegar in it and put the shower head down in it making sure the holes are down in the vinegar. Let set for 1 hour. Rinse and then put back on. May need to take a brush and scrub it before putting back on. May also need some of the white plastic tape to make sure it don't leak.

CLEANING OUT THAT VACUUM CLEANER

Do you have a vacuum that just is not picking up good. Maybe it is time for a good brush cleanout. Make sure the vacuum is not pluged in. Don't be like me I forgot to unplug mine and about got my hand caught trying to pull all that hair out of it. No, we do not have no dog's in our home but just human hair and you would really be surprised at how much hair gets wound around a vac. brush. I just learned that a seam ripper is better than trying to use scissors to get all this junk out. If you have a up-right one, mine gets cloged up at the plastic neck. I take a wire hanger and bend it, the part where it hangs and make a hook and use this to get down in there and get stuff out of it. Just make sure you don't punch a hole in the plastic hose. If you have a vac. and the long hose is stuck tight I take a 1/2 inch pvc pipe and put a drill bit on the end of it and stick it down in my vac. That is where the good ole gray tape comes in handy. I tape the drill bit on real tight. You just take and twist the pipe around and it will catch some of the stuff on the bit and then you can pull it out. You can just use the 1/2 inch pvc pipe to reach all the way to the other end of it without the drill bit. Would not wont anyone to have a bit come off in the vac. and not be able to get it out.  I keep a pvc piece handy to use for this all the time. Nothing makes me more upset than to have a stopped up vac.

HOW TO DRIVE A NAIL AND NOT HIT YOUR FINGER

If you are like me and always have bigger fingers than the nail when trying to hang a picture. Take a comb and put the nail in the teeth of it. They have different size teeth so match up with the nail which everone that will hold the nail. Then you don't have to worry about hitting your finger when trying to drive it. Good for using when putting those small nails in the hanger for a picture or mirror or even on a wall.

HOW TO MAKE MORE CUPCAKES AT ONE TIME

If you need to make more cupcakes than 12 at one time. Take a cookie sheet and take jar rings and sit the cupcake paper inside the jar ring. Pour batter into the cucake paper and you can make more that 12 cupcakes. Just don't let them touch each other as they will stick together and when they are done will pull part of the other off. Turn the jar ring upside down and they will sit down in them. Very neat idea.

SHELIA CALDWELL'S ROAST

One of my cuz's who is a very, very good cook gave me this recipe for her roast. She fixes it two ways so here is the recipe for them.

1 Chuck Roast or any type roast
1 Pack McCormick Seasoning for roast (the one with the bag)
1 Large Onion, sliced or diced big
8 Medium Potatoes cut in medium cubes
Water
Beef Bouillon Cubes or Beef Broth in can

Wash roast and pat dry. Put 2 teaspoons oil in electric skillet and get it hot but not smoking hot. Lay roast in skillet and sheer it on one side until brown and then turn over and do the other side. Sprinkle the seasoning from the roast pack (mccormick) all over the roast and rub in good. Don't get burned. Take and put 1 beef bouillon cube in each corner of the skillett and then pour 3 cups water in skillet. Let is steam cook until done. When almost done take and add the onion and potatoes to it and let them cook until done. Do not let this get dry or it will burn real easy. May have to add more water. Cook on medium in the skillet. Around 3 hours not for sure how long on this but cook until done.

Crockpot Style:

Take and sheer roast and then add seasoning pack to the top of the roast and rub in good. Put in crockpot and pour 2 cans beef broth over roast and 1 can water. Or can use the 4 beef bouillon cubes  and 3 cups water. When almost done add the onion and potatoes. Can take juice and make gravey with it.
