Dish Soap Helps Slide New Bridge Into Place

Who knew that dish soap was the secret ingredient to bridge building?

Engineers from around the United States, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and its partners all gathered on Tuesday to watch something truly remarkable. Two bridges on Interstate 15 near Mesquite were replaced in a matter of hours using hydraulic jacks, metal beams and cleaner of greasy casserole dishes everywhere: Dawn dish soap.

•••••• Handyman Tip from Billy’s Grandmother: Drag a screw across a bar of soap or dip it in dish detergent before screwing and it will take half the effort.

reminds me of the house of night.

The red string of fate.

“According to the myth, the gods tie an invisible red string around the little finger of people who are destined to be soul mates and will one day marry each other.” It can get twisted and knotted..but it will never be broken

SoundsGood doubles as a hearing aid and an earring for women! It is shaped like an earring but it collects and amplifies the sound waves to assist listeners. It also converts these waves into graphic signals that can be read by the speaker. The color and frequency of the waves convey different messages. Thus, the speaker can receive the feedback and accordingly change the speed or volume of his/her talk. The different colored and patterned waves also act as nice decorations for the ‘earring’.
