 Listerine is a popular mouthwash used for fresh breath, fighting gingivitis and whitening teeth.  But this awful tasting liquid is so much more than that…
There are at least 15 other uses for Listerine.

1. Stop Toenail Fungus

Toe fungus is no joke!  If you feet are in terrible shape try soaking them in Listerine.   To rejuvenate them and get rid of the fungus and stink, add some Listerine to lukewarm water, and dip your feet in the solution. It may take a few soaks but it’s worth it!

2. Clean The Toilet

To get rid of nasty germs, just add a cup of Listerine to water and use this solution to clean off your kitchen tops, sinks, toilet seats, floors, and practically everything.

3. Cure The Itch

To save yourself from the pain caused by a bee sting, pour some Listerine on a cotton swab and put it over the bite or itch. The pain would diminish considerably.

4. Back-Up Deodorant

Soak a cotton ball with some Listerine, rub it on your armpit area, and odor will be gone all day long.

5. No More Dandruff

A little alcohol is great for your hair. Just add a cup of Listerine to water, rinse off your hair with it and get a lustrous mane sans dandruff. You’re welcome.

6. Flea-Free Pets

Now nobody likes it dirty. Okay, some might, but your pet definitely doesn’t! Keep them happy by getting rid of the fleas that breed on them. Just add a cup of Listerine to their bathing water, and save them from pests.

7. Facial Cleanser

The alcohol in Listerine is a great way to save yourself from embarrassing zits.  Just apply a small amount of Listerine to a cotton pad, apply it to the directly-affected areas,

8. Toothbrush Cleaner

Listerine does keep your mouth clean so it only makes sense that it would also keep your toothbrush clean too! Dip your toothbrush in a jar of water and Listerine solution and make your toothbrush bacteria free.

9. Screen Cleaner

Listerine is also handy to do away with all those grimy fingerprints on your TV, laptop, or cell phone screens. Mix some of it with water, pour it into a spray bottle.  Spray onto cloth  and use it to wipe away the dirt.

10. De-Odorize Your Trash

You almost expect your trash can to stink but after this you won’t.  Just dab a cloth or a tissue in Listerine and drop it in your garbage can. Not only will this keep your garbage stink-free, it will also add a minty smell to your kitchen.

11. Stop Lice

Lice is no reason to SHAVE your head as some thought in the past.  All you need to do is soak your hair in Listerine, then let it sit in a shower cap for a couple hours. Then wash your hair, and you’re good to go.

12. Remove Ticks

No one wants to be stuck with a tick. If you find one, simply place a paper towel that has been soaked in Listerine on the surface of the skin. It should let go after just a few seconds

13. Use as a bug spray

You can set off a bug bomb in your house but then you are left with the nasty odor.  We like using Listerine instead.  Spray some Listerine in the air just use a spray bottle. And as a bonus, it would give a super minty smell.

14.Use as an After Shave

If you happen to have cuts and itches after you shave, you can apply a small amount of Listerine to calm that fire.

15. Soothe Toothaches

Listerine also helps in getting rid of the pain caused by a toothache. Just dab a cotton with some drops of Listerine and keep it on the affected area.

Dad leaves 1-year-old in hot truck all day – mom looks inside and makes horrific discovery.

Each and every year the same problems seem to crop up, whether its animals or humans, the hot summer claims many lives. How often are people told about the carelessness and extreme danger of leaving a living breathing human or animal inside a hot vehicle, under any circumstances at all? Sadly it is a huge issue that has claimed countless lives, this particular guy left a one-year-old in the car, the little girl was found dead on the Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee, inside a parked pick-up truck. The metro police said that the little girl had been left there, in the pickup truck outside the family home in East Nashville after her father (adopted, not her blood-related father) had taken her sibling to daycare. It was claimed that he forgot about her there in the car and so she stayed in her car seat… The girl’s mom (also adopted, not her blood-related mom) found her in the truck in the Wednesday night, still strapped into her seat. She rushed her to the Monroe Carrell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, but it was way too late and they recorded that she was dead. It is unclear right now how long exactly she had been in the truck or if her adoptee father will face any charges for what transpired that day. The investigation continues and the two parents have not been named until the police decide what will happen next, see the full story below: This really is a tragedy no matter how it happened, such a great shame and such a hard thing to even think about, taken before her life even had the chance to begin. It was most certainly the sort of incident that could have been avoided, and such a great and sad loss. SHARE the love for this little girl who never got the chance at life!

Parents give so much to their kids…a home, clothing, cars, and college.  Very few times is that sacrifice ever acknowledged. These four sisters made sure their parents know how much they appreciated them and all their hard work.
Karen and Chip Schoonover live in Conway, South Carolina. They have four daughters who are all grown up now, but they love their parents so much. When Karen and Chip went away on a week-long vacation, the sisters got together to give their parents a HUGE surprise.
They decided to give their parents’ house a makeover. Just after Mom and Dad departed the four girls snuck into the house and began to make changes. They headed to the local hardware store and started their video.
The first step was packing up over 30 years of ‘stuff’ and cleaning everything.
Next the girls started painting, even with these two things finished the place looked so much better.
They all pitched in day and night for the entire week.  They enlisted the help of family and friends but they hustled to complete the job before their parents got home.
The moment of truth was finally here.  Mom and Dad were pulling in the driveway.  They waited patiently as their parents walked onto the porch giving them hugs and kisses.
As Chip and Karen walked in the door the girls caught the moment on video.  The two were shocked and you will be too.  Karen admits she was wishing someone would come clean while she was away but she never imagined this.

This Man Demanded To Move His Seat On The Plane. The Flight Attendant’s Response Was Priceless.

Man recently posted this online, describing a not-so-politically-correct move pulled by an airline attendant after a customer complained and insulted another passenger. A 50-something year old Muslim man arrived at his seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn’t want the seat. The seat was next to an elderly white woman reading her Bible. Disgusted, the Muslim man immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The man said “I cannot sit here next to this infidel.” The flight attendant said “Let me see if I can find another seat.” After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated “There are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class.” About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated “The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class.” Before the irate Muslim man could say anything, the attendant gestured to the elderly woman and said, “Therefore ma’am, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn’t want you to sit next to an unpleasant person.” Passengers in the seats nearby began to applaud; some even gave a standing ovation. Did the flight attendant do the right thing? Share this post and let us know in the comments below.

Dad Picks Up 6-Yr-Old From School Only Teachers Notice His Pants & Suddenly Realize Situation

As parents, there’s nothing we wouldn’t do to make our children happy and comfortable. So when Ben Sowards, a husband and father from Utah, got a call from his 6-year-old daughter’s school that there had been a bathroom accident, he knew that he had to pick her up right away. Ben also knew that he had to make his daughter Valerie feel better after the embarrassment of wetting herself. That’s when a brilliant idea popped into his head…

Before jumping in the car and heading off to Valerie’s school, Ben splashed a little water around the crotch of his pants. In an interview with Huffington Post, Ben explained that the key to making his little girl feel better was in making her laugh! “Honestly, I knew she was mortified, but I thought if I could make her laugh everything would be fine.” This would surely do the trick!
Facebook/Connie Merrell Sowards
As soon as Ben walked into the principal’s office, he asked to borrow Valerie’s backpack. He quietly whispered to his daughter that he needed to hide something. At first, Valerie didn’t understand why her dad needed to hide anything! Then she looked down and saw his pants. Ben told Huffington Post that the moment Valerie saw his pants, everything was okay. She felt comfortable standing up and walking out of the school with confidence. “She was totally exasperated. But, once she saw my pants, I got that look from her where I knew everything was OK. All dads know what look I’m talking about. And we just strolled out of the school like nothing was happening.”

All Ben had to do as a father was drive down to the school and pick up his daughter. Wetting his pants with water was the extra step he took to make sure his she wasn’t embarrassed by something most children experience. We need more fathers like Ben in the world!

Postal worker noticed a sign on porch while on the job and it went viral

While some people get to work from the comfort of their home, there are also those whose job demands use of physical strength or being outside. Postal workers are one of those people who don’t work from an office but are required to be out and deliver people’s mail and packages no matter the weather conditions. During the winter they have to deal with freezing temperatures, and during summer time they try to brave the heat and stay hydrated while on the job. The residents from a village in Oklahoma are aware that the postal workers sometimes struggle with the high temperatures, so they decided to do something nice for them and ease their job. Namely, many families have placed coolers full of bottle with fresh water. Some of them even wrote messages for the delivery men and women to see and treat themselves with some refreshment. Along with the bottles of water, some even provided the workers with sports drinks. Isn’t this idea a brilliant one? If you love it maybe you should do it to for the dedicated individuals who make sure your mail is always delivered just on time. Take a look at the KOCO 5 News Report video below for the whole story.

Professor Tries to Silence a Christian Student by Proving His Faith Is Useless

By

One professor tried convincing one of his students how his faith in God was just an illusion as God didn’t exist. But the student’s answer left him speechless. His wise words make us all think deeply as well.

Read it below. Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ? Student : Yes, sir. Professor: So, you believe in GOD ? Student : Absolutely, sir. Professor : Is GOD good ? Student : Sure. Professor: Is GOD all powerful ? Student : Yes. Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm? (Student was silent.) Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good? Student : Yes. Professor: Is satan good ? Student : No. Professor: Where does satan come from ? Student : From … GOD … Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student : Yes. Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct? Student : Yes. Professor: So who created evil ? (Student did not answer.) Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they? Student : Yes, sir. Professor: So, who created them ? (Student had no answer.) Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD? Student : No, sir. Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD? Student : No, sir. Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter? Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t. Professor: Yet you still believe in Him? Student : Yes. Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son? Student : Nothing. I only have my faith. Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has. Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat? Professor: Yes. Student : And is there such a thing as cold? Professor: Yes. Student : No, sir. There isn’t. (The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.) Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.) Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness? Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you? Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ? Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed. Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how? Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey? Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do. Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? (The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.) Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class was in uproar.) Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain? (The class broke out into laughter. ) Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir? (The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.) Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son. Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

If your faith is as stronger please share this conversation with your friends and remind them of the strength God gives us every day.

It is believed this student was Einstein. Such incredible scientists with such brilliant thoughts on religion.

She Asks Stranger Where He Was On 9/11. His Answer Leaves Her Dumbfounded

Most of us can remember the exact moment when the horrific events of September 11, 2001 took place.  The tragic events that occurred on that day play on a movie reel in our minds. Most of us were only glued to our TV’s for the footage on the news, but there were some that experienced that fateful day right in the eye of the storm.  Some carry scars, others lost loved ones.  A day will never go by that the memories won’t haunt them. Kylee Tinney and her husband Cling took a trip to visit the 9/11 Memorial in New York City they had the chance to talk with one of these individuals.  His experience will stay with her forever. This is the story she shared of the day she met Tom, her words will resinate with you from this day and remain with you forever. “Our driver dropped us off near the 9/11 Memorial entrance. It was POURING down rain and the line was long so I ran to the nearest cover, which was by the museum exit door, while Clint went to buy tickets. Standing there was a police officer and a museum facilities dispatch worker. I eavesdropped on their casual conversation for a few minutes and finally mustered up the courage to ask them where they were on 9/11. ‘The 47th floor of the North Tower’, the museum worker said. Thomas Canavan, one of twenty survivors of the collapse. Wow. He proceeded to tell me his harrowing story of being buried alive, crawling through 46 horizontal and roughly 30 vertical feet of rubble, making it out alive, severely injured (but not realizing it due to adrenaline) and sadly having lost the friends he started with It’s hard to imagine that much rubble or that someone could even begin to climb out of it. We talked for 20 minutes as if no one else were around. I asked questions, and he gladly answered. One of the many things from that conversation that stuck out was that he said it’s so deceiving on TV when all you see is one cloud of dust and a small hole from the plane. The reality you don’t realize at home is that it was desks, file cabinets, chairs, staircases, elevators, and people falling down on him. The little holes in the Towers on TV from the planes were really 6 stories tall. The magnitude of this tragedy was so much more than most of us can imagine from our television screens. Something that’s hard for us to comprehend. Unless you were there you wouldn’t have a clue.  Those holes were 6 stories tall.  WOW! Clint came back with museum tickets for 11:30am. It was 10:45am so we were going to have to wait a bit. The rain had subsided by now. Tom without hesitation said, ‘You guys come with me.’ He escorted us past the (still) long line, past the police officers, and told the security guards, ‘these are my two friends, let them in.’ And without question we were quickly escorted inside, as if the President had just given orders. I could tell Tom was highly respected by everyone around. Before he left us, he told us to look for him in the museum; we would find his picture and the watch he wore that fateful day. Sure enough, we found Tom’s watch displayed in a shadow box

From the impact of the collapse, his wristwatch stopped; a moment stuck in time. The eeriness and irony. Tom told me that was the last day he ever wore a watch. It’s easy to think of September 11 as just a terrible tragedy in our country’s history. We so often forget that these were/are REAL PEOPLE, many who still feel the effects every day. Even something as simple as not being able to wear a watch, because it brings back haunting flashbacks. We spent two hours in the museum, but could’ve spent days. As we exited the museum we saw Tom not far away. We hollered his name and ended up chatting a bit longer. Before leaving he said in his Northern accent, ‘See us Yankees aren’t so bad after all. You never know what you’ll learn about people until you sit and talk to them.’ This made me reflect a little…while I was talking to Tom, probably ten or more visitors came up to him and asked where is the bathroom, where is the museum entrance, nearest restaurant, and the list goes on. But I got the feeling that not many people took the time to ask him about 9/11. The reason we were all here. No one knew everything he had been through. I could only be thankful it was raining that day and I picked that particular awning to run under, or else I might have missed this happenstance and humbling conversation of fate. I can only hope he was equally as touched to share his story with us as we were to hear it. When we told him goodbye, I let him know that we would bring his story with us back to The South, which is why I felt compelled to share with you today. I may never see my FRIEND Tom again, which makes me sad, but every September 11th I will fondly remember him and all of the other men and women who died and lived in the face of pure evil. As always, I am Proud to be an American.”

  I am still moved to tears every time I hear a 9/11 story, I can’t imagine.  But the stories remind me of a time when America banned together and that makes me proud to be an American.  

Does this story make you proud to be an American? Then share it!
