Hey College Peeps, Misfits, Hippies, Freaks & You Who Are Unwanted By Those “Established Churches.”

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson * If you store nail polish in the fridge, it will dry more quickly and last longer.

Would you like a simple, easy, relaxed love of Jesus type church with no religion, no pews & no clothing or money rules? Me too! Well, to be honest, I didn’t like the way Church was. It’s not the simple, easy, relaxed, no rule stuff I see in my Bible. So we changed it! If Jesus could start His Church with 12 long-haired Hippy Misfit Freaks, so can we! You can eat during the teaching. Sit in a nice comfy chair or on the floor. Take off your shoes, put your feet up, feel free to go outside to smoke. Doesn’t matter. Don’t bring any money. But if you need any gas or food money, ask me & we will give it to you! Seriously. We are not some cult but believe & teach the same Jesus as does the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian churches. We read our “Love Letters” from God (Bibles). We sing to Jesus. We talk (pray) to Him & thank Him for dying on the Cross for our sins. We don’t like religion. Instead, we just want a cool, loving relationship with Jesus. Jesus only had 12 long-haired hippy guys following Him, and He changed the world. Come join us! Come late & leave early. Take free food home. Just be loved.

* “In cold winter months, keep your robe (and slippers or whatever else) under the covers with you when you sleep. Pull it next to or over you a few minutes before you get up. It’ll be toasty and will help make the transition into the cold a little less harsh.” -- G.G. in New York * As tax time draws ever closer, try taping a large manila envelope to the fridge, leaving the top open. Immediately place all tax-related forms and receipts in the envelope as they come in. This way, when you are ready to start your taxes, all items will be together and easy to find. * “To help moisten really dry feet, slather on lotion, wrap feet in plastic wrap, then slip on some socks overnight -- or for as long as you can stand it.” -- B.H. in Michigan * “My no-iron tip: I toss the wrinkly garment into the dryer for about five to 10 minutes with a damp washcloth, and it steams most wrinkles out. It won’t look starched and pressed, but it’s good enough for casual wear or running-late mornings. I haven’t ironed in years.” -- E.W. in Florida * Don’t forget to clean your washing machine every so often by running it on the highest-temperature cycle empty after adding a gallon of vinegar. This will clean out the hoses and get rid of stuck-on detergents. * To remove soot from your carpet, sprinkle it with salt, let sit and then vacuum. Repeat as many times as necessary to remove all traces.

PAW’S CORNER By Sam Mazzotta

Training Your Dog for Hiking Season DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 1-year-old puppy, Corky, is an energetic mutt who loves to be outside. I started hiking last year, before I adopted Corky, and I plan to do lots more hiking trips when the weather gets warmer. I want to bring Corky along, but I’ve read mixed advice about dogs on trails and at campsites. What’s your take? -- Ellen in Boulder, Colorado DEAR ELLEN: You can definitely take Corky along! Preparation is key: You must prepare Corky for the hike, and you need to research the trails before departing to find out important information, including: -- Are dogs allowed on the trail? -- What are other rules about pets on the trail? -- How long is the hike you’re planning? -- How far can Corky reasonably walk? -- Is water available along the trail, or will you need to carry extra for your dog? -- How good is Corky’s behavior training -- will he come to you as soon as you call? When I’m on a hike, I follow Leave No Trace rules -- which also apply to dogs, so be prepared to carry out his poop -- and another set of rules I call “Annoy No Other Hikers.” Included in this personal set of rules are a few dog-specific ones: -- Keep my dog on a leash during the hike, especially on popular trails. -- Clean up after my dog. -- Make sure to carry adequate water, food, first aid and safety gear (such as booties and vest). -- Keep my dog under control when greeting oncoming hikers. Not everyone is thrilled by dogs, and a jumping, out-of-control dog does the community no favors. Find more training and hiking tips at the American Hiking Society (americanhiking.org/resources/ hiking-with-dogs/). Pick up dog gear advice at Reckless Roaming (recklessroaming.com/how-tohike-with-your-dog/). And Chewy has some good all-around tips as well. See you on the trail!
