Ants!!! Tip of the Week

Our home has been invaded by ants. They've made a nice trail to my kitchen sink in search of water. I've found a wonderful solution. I spray my counter with an inexpensive all purpose cleaner, and they die immediately. I like the orange ones, but any of the ones I've tried have worked. My counters smell nice too. If you try this, you may want to check to make sure your counters allow this type of cleaner, and make sure to wipe the counters down before preparing food.

Facebook

I love Facebook. I'll admit, I'm addicted. But I'm seeing a change and I don't like it. Lately, lots of businesses are using fb to promote their products. I like trying new things. I like getting samples in my mailbox. A lot of promoters now expect consumers to jump through too many hoops to try their products. Many are linking their items to Facebook. This is the part I don't understand. We must first click "Like" before finding out anything about the product. How can I say I like something I haven't even tried? I get it. It's all a numbers game. Who can be the most popular, whether we're talking about an individual or a company. Everyone wants to be popular, and in companies popularity means profit. I would just like to see the process a little different and more honest.
