Alternate Uses for Baby Powder

DIY 2 Minutes

[I found this article on alternate uses for baby powder on a website devoted to frugality.]

Baby powder isn’t just for babies anymore {though, to be fair, I never did use it on my babies}.  Turns out, there’s actually lots of way to put baby powder to good use.  Here’s my top 10 favorite ways to use it:

Throw a bottle in your beach bag because it helps to get the sand off of your body at the end of the day.  Sprinkle it on, it will absorb the moisture and the sand should easily brush right off.

Sprinkle a little in your dish washing/cleaning gloves.  It makes it easier to get them on and off.

Sprinkle on the sheets in the summer.  It is supposed to give sheets a cool feeling {my guess is that it does more for your sticky summer body than anything else, but it probably still feels soft and luxurious, so I am totally trying it.}

Give your flower bulbs a little baby powder bath before you plant them.  The baby powder deters mold in the bulbs and supposedly deters critters from wanting to eat them.  Just sprinkle some baby powder in a ziploc bag, add the bulbs and shake.

Get playing cards to stop from sticking.  Put the cards and the baby powder in a baggie and shake.  Dust the cards off, and they shouldn’t stick anymore.

Give your dog a dry bath.  Sprinkle some baby powder on, let it sit a few minutes and then brush your dog.  {Hmmm, I know some people I’d like to try this on.}

Use as an aftershave–for men and women.  It’s cheaper and leaves skin feeling as soft as, well, a baby’s bottom.  Ha.

Untangle knots.  Got a necklace that has a knot, or a shoelace that won’t budge.  Sprinkle a little baby powder on it, it will help loosen the knot.

Freshen those old books you snagged at a garage sale by sprinkle baby powder in the pages.  Let the book sit for a bit, and then shake the baby powder out.

Use to absorb grease stains on clothes.  Sprinkle baby powder on the spill and blot the grease out.  Repeat until stain is gone, brushing off excess baby powder each time.

  6. satellite phones being issued to the senate (to those who want them)
    FTA
    JUST IN – 50 U.S. senators have been issued satellite phones for emergency communication. The devices are part of a series of “new security measures” being offered to all U.S. senators by the Senate Sergeant at Arms.

    These expensive and bulky phones were offered to all 100 Senators with at least half accepting them. This move has prompted conspiracy theorists to wonder if the government is aware of coming events that could disrupt standard cellular communication.

    Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson, who took over the position after her predecessor resigned following the January 6, 2021 incident, all but confirmed that this is their concern.

    Janet Yellen: “If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, there would be hard choices to make about what bills go unpaid.”

    Wanna guess which bills will not go unpaid?

    ILLEGALS cellphones.
    ILLEGALS hotel lodging.
    ILLEGALS medical.
    ILLEGALS monthly assistance.

    AND OF COURSE ZELENSKYS WELFARE CHECKS!

    It astonishes me how the MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD can’t stop its own overthrow from within.

    WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?

    Where are the LAWYERS suing the Biden administration for ANYTHING?

    Where are the LEGITIMATE JOURNALISTS (Except Peter Doocy) calling Biden out on ANYTHING?

    WHY HAVEN’T WE DEMANDED MEDICAL RECORDS FOR A PRESIDENT WHO IS CLEARLY SENILE?

    None of it makes any sense. If we don’t want illegals flooding the country we shouldn’t have illegals flooding the country.

    That’s how America is supposed to work.

    We the people run things, we’re not RUN OVER by things!

    Patriots, we need to put McConnell out to pasture and rebuild the Republican Party from the ground up, because you only get WIDESPREAD GOVERNMENTAL FAILURE like this when the opposition isn’t in the business of OPPOSING ANYTHING anymore.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸

    If you ever doubt the intentionality behind Biden’s migrant invasion, remember Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff sold US citizenship in a Visa scheme benefitting members of the Chinese Communist Party.

    Once I broke this story in 2020, she secretly deleted the company’s website and was later promoted to Joe Biden’s Ambassador to Spain.

    Managed decline means immigration – legal and illegal – is a cash cow for America’s political elites.

    Joe Biden invited 10-15,000,000 illegals to live here ALL AT ONCE.

    Didn’t build any shelters.

    Didn’t build any housing.

    Didn’t create any organized processing centers.

    Just sent them to our cities to live on our streets or in our hotels or in police stations or in closed down schools.

    IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

    Because Joe Biden didn’t care enough about us AMERICANS to make a plan.

    He didn’t care what effect it would have on us, the people who pay taxes.

    So here’s an idea Joe:

    Why don’t you house them in all the shopping centers your EXTENDED PANDEMIC forced to close?

    Why don’t you house them in all the retail spaces your black crime sprees have forced to CLOSE DOWN OR MOVE?

    WHY DON’T YOU HOUSE THEM IN YOUR DELAWARE HOMES AND ON BARACK’S MARTHA’S VINEYARD COMPOUND?

    If we have to deal with them, why shouldn’t you and the Democrats who forced this on us have to as well?

    How the Democrats are treating this country and the people who live here suggests that they don’t think they need our votes anymore.

    If you really want to make America a dystopian hellhole, this is where it starts.

    40 out of 55 Proud Boy protesters were feds. And out of 800 people who went to Congress, 100 were feds.

    Here’s the funny thing. I’ve been to drag shows. When I was in London, I lived extremely close to Soho and stopped in one because they were doing a tribute to Tina Turner when her musical was opening in the West End.

    It wasn’t sexual. It was a man dressed up in a Tina wig and some makeup and a Tina outfit lipsyncing to some of her classics.

    I have a friend, who happens to be a gay Black man (enjoy that one, trolls) who took me to a gay club in New York for some dinner he was having. There happened to be a drag show going on. It wasn’t sexual. It wasn’t my cup of tea, but it was just a guy dressed up in makeup and dancing around while singing.

    So why is it that every time I see a drag show that is meant for kids, the drag queens are half naked and twerking around?

    Drag is not inherently sexual. The point of the shows isn’t sex. But, the drag queen shows for kids are ALWAYS ones that include pussy-patting, twerking, sex simulations and more.

    The bottom line is this – if you’re performing drag for kids and you’re making it sexual you’re a pedophile. Point blank.

    If you take your kids to a drag show, you’re a pedophile.

    These kids drag shows are overtly sexual because these psychopaths want to sleep with kids.

    They don’t do it when the adult shows are on… but put a kid in there and they act like dogs in heat.

    Something is super wrong here! We must ban it!

  28. long article about trump taking his lawyers advice, and smith saying that shows criminal conduct. and the lawyer tasked with finding all the classified docs didn’t find them all–so TRUMP is guilty of obstruction
    entire article
    Federal prosecutors have evidence Donald Trump was put on notice that he could not retain any classified documents after he was subpoenaed for their return last year, as they examine whether the subsequent failure to fully comply with the subpoena was a deliberate act of obstruction by the former president.

    The previously unreported warning conveyed to Trump by his lawyer Evan Corcoran could be significant in the criminal investigation surrounding Trump’s handling of classified materials given it shows he knew about his subpoena obligations.

    Last June, Corcoran found roughly 40 classified documents in the storage room at Mar-a-Lago and told the justice department that no further materials remained at the property. That was later shown to be untrue, after the FBI later returned with a warrant and seized 101 additional classified documents.

    The federal investigation led by special counsel Jack Smith has recently focused on why the subpoena was not compiled with, notably whether Trump arranged for boxes of classified documents to be moved out of the storage room so he could illegally retain them.

    In particular, prosecutors have fixated on Trump’s valet Walt Nauta, after he told the justice department that Trump told him to move boxes out of the storage room before and after the subpoena. The activity was captured on subpoenaed surveillance footage, though there were gaps in the tapes.

    The warning was one of several key moments that Corcoran preserved in roughly 50 pages of dictated notes described to the Guardian over several weeks by three people with knowledge of their contents, which prosecutors have viewed in recent months as central to the criminal investigation.

    The notes revealed how Trump and Nauta had unusually detailed knowledge of the botched subpoena response, including where Corcoran intended to search and not search for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, as well as when Corcoran was actually doing his search.

    Although ordinarily off limits to prosecutors, the notes ended up before the grand jury in Washington hearing evidence in the case after a US appeals court allowed attorney-client privilege to be pierced because judges believed Trump might have used Corcoran’s legal advice in furtherance of a crime.

    The notes described how Corcoran told Nauta about the subpoena before he started looking for classified documents because Corcoran needed him to unlock the storage room – which prosecutors have taken as a sign that Nauta was closely involved at essentially every step of the search.

    Corcoran then described how Nauta had offered to help him go through the boxes, which he declined and told Nauta he should stay outside. But going through around 60 boxes in the storage room took longer than expected, and the search ended up lasting several days.

    The notes also suggested to prosecutors that there were times when the storage room might have been left unattended while the search for classified documents was ongoing, one of the people said, such as when Corcoran needed to take a break and walked out to the pool area nearby.

    In addition to his exchange with Trump, Corcoran described Trump’s facial expressions and reactions whenever they discussed the subpoena. The unusually detailed nature of his notes is said to have irritated Trump, who only learned about them after the notes themselves were subpoenaed.

    The notes did not address why Corcoran only looked in the storage room, though he separately testified to the grand jury that while Trump did not mislead him about where to search, he did not say where to search either. The New York Times earlier reported a summary of his testimony.

    Corcoran did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the special counsel’s office declined to comment.

    Constructing an obstruction case remains challenging, and prosecutors would need to show that Trump arranged for Nauta to remove boxes he expressly knew contained classified documents demanded by the subpoena, with the intention of concealing them from his lawyer’s search.

    Trump’s legal team have consistently said the subpoena response was incomplete because Corcoran was not as thorough as he should have been, in part because he left it until right before the deadline and only realized when he got there just how many boxes were in the storage room.

    A Trump spokesperson has previously said of the investigation: “This is nothing more than a targeted, politically motivated witch-hunt against President Trump that is concocted to meddle in an election and prevent the American people from returning him to the White House.”

    To resolve the issue about the gaps in the surveillance footage, the special counsel most recently subpoenaed Matthew Calamari Sr, the Trump Organization’s security chief who became its chief operating officer, and his son Matthew Calamari Jr, the director of corporate security.

    Both Calamaris testified to the grand jury earlier this month, the Guardian previously reported, and were questioned in part on a text message that Nauta had sent asking Calamari Sr to call him back about the justice department’s request for the tapes last year.

    The justice department interviewed Nauta several times last year until prosecutors grew concerned that he failed to provide them with a complete and accurate account of his role in moving boxes that contained classified documents, according to two people familiar with the situation.

    To force his cooperation, prosecutors threatened to charge him with lying to the FBI after he gave differing accounts over several interviews. But that incensed Nauta’s lawyer, who told the justice department his client would not talk again unless he was charged or offered an immunity deal.

    After losing Nauta, investigators have turned to other witnesses who could shed light on his role. In recent interviews, they have asked whether Nauta removed boxes containing classified documents when he was in the storage room at the time of the subpoena, and where he went with them.
