Cheaters!Where's The Outrage Over AIG's Latest Bonuses?CIT Seeks Private Funds to Avoid CollapseNew Jobless Claims Down Sharply Last Week- What a bunch of hogwash; MSNBC has been a positive spin propaganda machine for the Obama administration for quite some time. There were only 522,000 applications for unemployment last WEEK. But remember, only 60% of people who lost their jobs can apply, so that means that 833,000 people lost their jobs LAST WEEK. And MSNBC's response is, "See how good its getting?"
Obama: Now is time to change health care- The US is being "prison raped" into socialized healthcare. You're gettin' it whether you want it or not.

Homemade Laundry Detergent -- Makes Enough for About 180 Loads
by Carla
1 Bar - Fels Naptha soap ($1.29 for a 5-1/2 ounce bar)1 cup - Washing soda $3.99 55 ounce box (do not confuse this with baking soda)1/2 cup - Borax ($3.49 for a 76 ounce box on sale price, regular price is $3.99) This is the old 20 Mule Team brand, and this can be found at Wal-Mart.)1 - 5 gal. High Density Polyethylene plastic utility bucket with lid. These are often available free from bakeries, or approximately $4-tio $5 at [Sam's Club or] Wal-Mart, or your local paint store)
Grate the Fels Naptha soap into small pieces. You can chop it with a knife, cheese grater, or food processor. Heat four quarts of water in a large, heavy saucepan on top of stove and add soap, stirring constantly till melted. This will take a while depending on the size of your grated pieces. Meanwhile, fill the five gallon bucket half full with warm water. Add the 1 cup of washing soda and the 1/2 cup of Borax and stir well. When soap is melted pour into bucket, then continue to fill bucket with warm water until full. Stir well and let sit overnight until cool. This "concentrate" will thicken as it sits. Stir before using. Now, I use this concentrate straight out of the bucket and use 1/3 cup per large load. The original instructions said to save an old laundry detergent container, fill half full with concentrate then add water to top. Shake and use 5/8ths cup per large load. Repeat till your concentrate is gone. This will give you 10 gallons of laundry detergent. That just seemed more trouble than necessary. So I use the concentrate as-is. No need to have to make room for another container. You will have enough leftover soda and Borax to make approximately five more buckets of detergent. You will have to buy more soap. The costs for one 5-gallon bucket (not including the bucket) is approximately $2.40. If you compared that to the expensive brand of concentrate @ $20.00 per container, just think of the savings and that is if your store bought container makes 180 loads! Since I don't buy the twenty dollar Tide brand, I'm not sure if that is for 180 loads, so the savings could be a lot more. $14.40 for a total of six 5-gallon buckets compared to $120 for six containers of Tide 2X concentrate. In a small space, enough to hold 1 box of Borax, 1 box of washing soda and 6 bars of Fels Naptha you can have better cleaning power than six containers of store bought laundry detergent. This will also save more than $100!
