What I learned today...

I really really like tables.  And I really really like white. 

I learned this when I saw a table that a neighbor had discarded on their curb.  I wanted it but I didn't need it.  I kept trying to figure out a way to fit it into my house, what could I do with it?  I went over to look at it, I was thinking, I could paint it white! And I got very excited.  So I brought the table home.  I can't wait to paint it!!!

"Mobile" Marketing

I learned that a magnetic advertising sign on the side of a pickup truck should have the phone number or email (and what the company offers to me), spelled out so clearly that I can read it in the 4.5 seconds it takes for you to drive past me in the intersection while I wait at the red light. 

The sign I did see was an elaborate (very nice, tho!) logo with a long company name.  By the time I had read the company name (which was in the largest font), it was too late to catch the phone number.

A solution for small print on medicine bottles

Medication dosage

I have several bottles of pain relievers, vitamins, and supplements that have very small print on their labels.  (Is the print getting smaller?  Surely it's not my eyesight going bad!)

Every time I pick up one of these bottles, I had to reach for my glasses, get it over near the light, and find the section after all the warnings! about dosage. 

Until now, that is! 

Permanent markers to the rescue, again!  I put a big number on the cap with my favorite color permanent marker to remind me how many I should take. 

If the dosage is more than one time per day, I marked it as (for example, 2 pills twice a day = 2 - 2/d; 1 every 4 hours = 1 - 4hr).  You can devise your own plan, just remember keep it simple so you can print big!

I was so glad I did this the other day when I had a headache!!! 

Are there other ways to use this idea?
