Some Useful Things to Do with Mismatched Socks

Beware of the sock monster. It lives in garments dryers, underneath dressers, and behind furnishings. And it is a vindictive monster, as a result of it likes to deprive you of only one sock; it's no want for pairs. Where will this leave you? With a pile full of mismatched socks after!

Here are some useful things you can do with these mismatched socks to breathe new life into your mismatched socks, save money, and rekindle the forgotten art of reusing rather than rubbishing things:

Shoe Deodorizer: Fill that mismatched sock with sodium hydrogen carbonate, tie off the top, and you've got an ideal shoe deodorizer. Leave it in your noisome shoes nightlong, and are available morning you'll be able to inhale while not passing out.


Self-soaping Wash Cloth: Have you ever tried to use a bar of soap through to its bitter end? At some purpose I sometimes tire of prying tiny wet soap slivers from the dish and perpetually dropping them within the shower. The solution: merely chuck the soap slivers (or even a full bar if you wish) into a mismatched sock, and you've got a second self-soaping washcloth!

Dust Hard-to-Reach Places: By attachment a mismatched sock to the top of a brush or hold, you've got a furtive duster that may reach beneath and behind furnishings, up high, and alternative hard-to-reach places wherever dirt and cobwebs prefer to congregate. Then simply toss the sock within the wash, and (assuming the sock monster does not have its means together with your sock), you are off to the races once more.

Drink Holder: Okay, thus this is not the foremost trendy thanks to cradle your will or bottle, however it still works; cut the foot off a mismatched tube sock, and presto: you've got a drink cozy.

Hot Pack:  This is my incomparable favorite thanks to use mismatched socks. Stuff the longest mismatched sock you'll be able to realize with raw rice, and tie off or sew the top closed. Microwave for one to 2 minutes, and you've got a second hot pack that is nice for aches and pains. Even better: add some contemporary lavender or any oil you prefer and you've got an aromatherapy masterpiece.

Do you have any other suggestions on using mismatched socks? Please let me know in comments below.

DESENCONTRO, OU FRAUDE?

A renúncia de Spínola foi o golpe de misericórdia no futuro da democracia em Angola. No mesmo dia, a FRA espalhou, por Luanda, mais de vinte mil exemplares do discurso do Presidente. As repercussões entre a população foram de agudo pessimismo, confirmado pelas prisões de civis e militares que se seguiram.

Rosa Coutinho deu largas à sua malvadez em ordem e atitudes próprias da sua desequilibrade menta­lidade. Não se explica, por exemplo, o motivo que o deter­minou a assinar a detenção dos dirigentes da PDCA. Al­guns não conseguiram escapar, como o dr. Figueira e o Nóbrega. Este, após ter sido convidado pelo almirante Alva Rosa para uma cortez e informal conversa no palácio, foi preso à saída do edifício, sem uma palavra de justificação.

Outros, no entanto — o dr. Ferronha, secretário-geral do Partido e Rui Correia de Freitas, proprietário e director de "A Província de Angola" —, puderam alcançar Mocâmedes pelo mar e, dali, voarem para a África do Sul.

Cândidos e crédulos, os líderes do PDCA e da FUÁ — permita-se a vulgaridade da expressão — eram "anjinhos" que ainda jogavam na via democrática para a solução do problema político de Angola. Os da FUÁ nem se apercebe­ram de que o "soba" Falcão (isto é, Falsão] nos traía a todos. Já no Governo provisório, acabou de se desmasca­rar, no modo como se comportou, perante as projectadas greves dos camionistas, dos industriais e comerciantes, marcadas para 30 de Novembro de 1974.

As suas artimanhas, as suas promessas, os ardis com que enganou as classes hu­mildes que se lhe confiavam, causou o colapso de uma for­ma de luta que tinha, como objectivo primordial, o derru­be da Junta Governativa. O "Falsão" não descobriu quem tivesse a coragem de "pôr os guizos aos gatos". E tudo so­çobrou.

Agree to disagree

The term "agree to disagree" or "agreeing to disagree" is a phrase in English referring to the resolution of a conflict (usually a debate or quarrel) whereby all parties tolerate but do not accept the opposing position(s). It generally occurs when all sides recognise that further conflict would be unnecessary, ineffective or otherwise undesirable. They may also remain on amicable terms while continuing to disagree about the unresolved issues.

The phrase "agree to disagree" first appeared in print in 1770 when, at the death of George Whitefield, John Wesley wrote a memorial sermon which acknowledged, but downplayed, the two men's doctrinal differences:
