Uses for WD 40
Kill roaches, but you can spray it on dishes to separate them, or spray it
on your hand to get a ring off. I've got to keep reading, this is too much fun. Hmm. Only one or two had to do with displacing water. Not sure I'm going to spray all my eaves, to keep wasps off. I really despise web sites that could be laid out in a list, but they make you click through. Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Dean Hoffman" wrote in message ...

But don't you think you're being a little hard on the Beaver? Perhaps "differently abled" would be kinder than "idiotic." What interests me is how similar Mormons and Muslims a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormonism_and_Islam Joseph Smith, Jr., the founding prophet of Mormonism, was referred to as "the modern Mahomet" by the New York Herald, shortly after his murder in June 1844. Some people call them "Morlims:" http://articles.latimes.com/2008/apr...al/me-morlims2 says: Both religions strongly emphasize family. They tend toward patriarchy, believing in feminine modesty, chastity and virtue. And although Islam discourages dancing involving both sexes, Mormons report that church-sponsored "modesty proms" commonly draw Islamic youths. Both faiths adhere to religion-based health codes, including prohibitions against alcohol, but Mormons and Muslims share something mo membership in quickly growing minority religions that many other Americans have sometimes viewed with suspicion and scorn . . . Armand L. Mauss, a Mormon and professor emeritus of sociology at Washington State University specializing in religious movements, said that unlike mainstream Christians and Jews, Muslims and Mormons "tend to make fairly stringent demands for religious conformity on their members." These practices, he said, include discouraging marriage outside the religion and observing dietary laws, such as the Mormon prohibition against tobacco, alcohol and caffeine.

Yeah, I use WD40 instead of PAM to keep my bacon and eggs from sticking to my frying pan.
Some people figure it's kinda crazy for me to fry my food in something with a chemical name as long as a shoelace. But, I figure if my stomach doesn't know what to do with something, it'll just let it slide on by. Last edited by nestork : November 30th 12 at 11:10 PM |

What do you expect from a brainwashed cult member. None of them have more than two brain cells. The best solution is to kill-file the moron. The idiot posts about 200 times a day anyhow, and none of what he says is worth reading. Mormons are just morons with an added "m". |

I'm guessing, yes. Should be fine. That, or kerosene and a bit of towels.
The other day, I used WD, sprayed into the door. The latch mechanism for my Blazer door was getting sluggish, and it was hard to open with a key. Christopher A.
