    In our Super Bowl poll (http://www.ethelthefrog.com/?p=4962), Green Bay is ahead of the Jets by a narrow margin, followed by Pittsburgh. Trailing is Chicago with 16% of the votes.  Cast your vote before this coming weekend’s games.

    Here is a very funny video that someone emailed to me, today:

      First of all, I want to wish you all a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  Have fun, but don’t drive after drinking too much green beer.  (St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween and New Year’s Eve all rank right at the top for drunk driving convictions . . . and, of course, much worse – fatalities.  Be careful.

      —————————————————–

      Also, I want to share with you some very funny signs, photos and images, that were sent to me today:

      Did you know that 63% of all statistics cited online are bogus?  Actually, I just made that up to make a point – you can’t believe everything you read on the Internet.  Just because it’s in writing, doesn’t mean it’s true.

      That said, I read the following interesting (and somewhat scary) purported facts about Coca Cola on the Internet.  I have no reason believe these aren’t true, but I’m not vouching for them.

      Here they are:

      1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

      2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

      3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl… Let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean.

      4. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China.

      5. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

      6. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away corrosion.

      7. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

      8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

      9. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days.

      10. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the hazardous material signage reserved for highly corrosive materials.

      11. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years.

      . . . and you can use Coca-Cola and Mentos to make a rocket, missile or “bomb”:

      In my last post, I mentioned a Web site that purportedly reviewed the top diets of 2010.  Since then, I have more closely studied the site and the terms and conditions of the products reviewed or offered.

      Unfortunately, in my opinion, the product offers look to be a bit “sketchy”.

      I, myself, got burned in an Acai supplement scheme, where I was sent a “free trial” (that I don’t even recall requesting or ever receiving), and then had my credit card charged about $80 per month, until Wells Fargo put a stop to it and refunded my money.

      I apologize to anyone who read my blog post, and mistakenly believed that I was recommending the products.  Upon further review, I neither recommend or not recommend the products mentioned.  (However, if you want my honest opinion, I’d look elsewhere for weight-loss solutions).

      If you are interested in the products, I don’t discourage you from ordering them . . . but please read the terms and conditions, so that you can cancel (if you want) and not be stuck with monthly credit card charges.

      I still haven’t evaluated the products at Lose Weight Now!  They may be wonderful, I don’t know.  (If anyone has any experience with these products, please post a comment).

      I have learned a lesson from this . . . from now on, I will not endorse, recommend, or even mention any product or service that I don’t believe in, trust, or use myself.  I want my readers to trust me and my judgment.  I feel like I failed them, yesterday.  I’m sorry.

      Ethel

      I found this on MSNBC.com:

      According to Urban Dictionary, ”eh” can be explained as follows:

      An interjection popular in Canadian speech. According to linguists, a “politeness marker.”

      Adding “eh” to a sentence can indicate the speaker’s willingness to accept dissent or to invite further discussion. Has been referred to as an “articulated question mark.”

      The interpretation of “eh” as carrying meaning beyond other routine interjections (huh?) is supposed to be uniquely Canadian. “Ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed” is how the Canadian Oxford Dictionary puts it.

      “Let’s do something, eh?” — where ‘eh’ is ‘do you agree?’

      “We could get a pizza, eh?” — where ‘eh’ is ‘if you would like to’

      “I don’t know about that, eh?” — where ‘eh’ is ‘but perhaps I might be convinced if you explained further’

      “What’s that, eh?” — where ‘eh’ is ‘I would appreciate, friend of mine, hearing your interpretation’

      “The beer’s cheap here, eh?” — where ‘eh’ is ‘so what would you like to do about that’

      “It’s after last call, eh?” — where ‘eh’ is ‘were you aware’

      The Russia vs. Czech Republic game just started on NBC, so I have to go, eh.

      Coffee Filters

      You can buy 1,000 coffee  filters for almost nothing at PriceSmart, HyperMas, Costco, Sam’s Club, Dollar Tree, etc. . . . and they have an almost unlimited number of uses that you’ve probably never thought of.  Here are a few:
      1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the  microwave.
      2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome.  Coffee filters are lint-free, so they’ll leave windows sparkling.
      3.  Protect china by separating your good plates and dishes with a coffee filter between each.
      4.  Filter broken cork from wine.  If you break the cork when opening a wine  bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
      5.  Protect a cast-iron skillet.  Place a coffee filter in the  skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
      6.  Apply shoe polish.  Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
      7.  Recycle frying oil.  After frying, strain oil through a sieve  lined with a coffee filter.
      8.  Weigh chopped foods.  Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a  kitchen scale.
      9.  Hold tacos.  Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
      10.  Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot.  Line a plant  pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through  the drainage holes.
      11.  Prevent a Popsicle from dripping.  Poke one or two holes as  needed in a coffee filter..
      12.  Do you use expensive strips to wax eyebrows and other body parts?  Try using strips of coffee filters instead.
      13.  Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken  fingers, etc. on them.  The filter soaks out the grease.
      14.  Keep in the bathroom.  They make great “razor nick fixers.”
      15.   As a sewing backing.  Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.
      16.  Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.
      17.  Use them to strain soup stock, and tie fresh herbs in them to put in soups and stews.
      18.  Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.
      19.  Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and to clean up small counter spills.
      20.  Use them to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.  (Saves on having extra bowls to wash).
      21.  Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
      22.  Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.
      23.  Use them to sprout seeds.  Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until the seeds sprout.
      24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers.  Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in  phone book.
      25.  Use as a disposable “snack bowl” for popcorn, chips, etc.
      If you have any other coffee filter tips, please leave a comment.

      I bought myself a new yacht.  It’s pretty nice:

      Ethel's Yacht

      My New Yacht

      I can’t spend all my time cruising around the world on my yacht (boring!); therefore, I have a little vacation home that I can go to, from time-to-time, for a break from the yachting scene:
