Repairing damage .....

        They are not tricks.  They are not magic.  And to tell
the truth they don't always work that well.  But they sometimes
save the day when a situation arises where we 'miscalculate'
things in our everyday lives which we all do occasionally.

You've over salted the soup  you are making...  Cut up a
couple potatoes and let them cook for a while then remove them.
They're supposed to absorb some of the salt.  (I can't say I've had
much luck with this one.  (I usually just add more ingredients and
broth to dilute the amount of salt.. until I have a fifty five gallon
drum of soup)

You accidentally over tighten a screw in a piece of wood and strip
out the hole and it won't hold anymore.. (or you lose your balance
and grab a cabinet door and pull the screws out.. not that that would
ever happen) ...Try dipping some matchsticks or toothpicks in glue
and pushing them in the hole.  Let dry and replace the screws.

Let's say you accidentally read the comment section of a few
political posts and absorb a excess amount of hate and anger.  Let's
just assume it's enough to totally take over your sense of reasoning
to the point that your ready to get involved.   My solution is to slip
on my headphones.. dim the lights and listen to country gospel
music for about one to two hours.  Now I realize this could sound like
a form of punishment to a lot of people,  and results may vary,  but I
find in my case anyway listening to the stories of my God's love for
us all  'trumps' (no pun intended) all of the petty bickering of the angry
mobs at each others throats.  I realize people are confused and scared
but the hate is only multiplying the problem.   Maybe if I had dual
volume controls?   Gospel up.... hate way down...    Maybe .. just maybe...

Lastly..Light fixtures that work sporadically or not at all ?  Call a qualified
repairman.  I can write a three page blog on my electrical endeavors and
you would be hard pressed to find a completely successful project. So I
no longer pretend to have any solutions to any electrical problems.
Of course that doesn't mean I won't try.  Worst case scenario is I'll end
up with a four page blog on the subject.
