Okay - I have four kids - three are rowdy boys - sometimes I think the only thing that could possibly bring back my sanity is a Mocha Vodka Latte - or just a straight shot of Vodka! Now . . . most of you know that my passion for Christ and the hope found in him out-weighs my passion for a good, stiff, slam of devil juice!
Therefore, I don't indulge, simply because I want to make sure when I'm sharing that hope that my speech isn't slurred, my vision blurred, and my facts all confused. However, I get some of the craziest reactions from people when I start talkin' about fallin' off the wagon! So, I just love to throw it out there all the time.
My gal-pal, Karma, seems to get a good kick out of it when I start talkin' alcohol! She is a redneck, gear head's wife so I'm sure she has stories! She sent this to me . . . since I seem to be obsessed with Vodka! She may now throw away her Windex and meet me at the Liquor store!
Paula- Guess it comes in handy for all kinds of things!! Karma :)
Who Knew?
1. To remove a bandage painlessly, saturate the bandage with vodka.
The stuff dissolves adhesive.
2. To clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers, fill a
trigger-spray bottle with vodka, spray the caulking, let set five
minutes and wash clean.
The alcohol in the vodka kills mold and mildew.
3. To clean your eyeglasses, simply wipe the lenses with a soft, clean
cloth dampened with vodka.
The alcohol in the vodka cleans the glass and kills germs.
4. Prolong the life of razors by filling a cup with vodka and letting
your safety razor bladesoak in the alcohol after shaving.
The vodka disinfects the blade and prevents rusting.
5. Spray vodka on wine stains, scrub with a brush, and then blot dry.
6 Using a cotton ball, apply vodka to your face as an astringent to
cleanse the skin and tighten pores.
7. Add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo.
The alcohol cleanses the scalp, removes toxins from hair, and
stimulates the growth of healthy hair.

or wasps to kill them.
9. Pour one-half cup vodka and one-half cup water into a Ziploc
freezer bag and freeze for a slushy, refreshing ice pack for aches,
pain or black eyes.
10. Fill a clean, used mayonnaise jar with freshly packed lavender
flowers, fill the jar with vodka, seal the lid tightly and set in the
sun for three days. Strain liquid through a coffee filter, then apply
the tincture to aches and pains.
11. To relieve a fever, use a washcloth to rub vodka on your chest and
back as a liniment.
12. To cure foot odor, wash your feet with vodka.
13. Vodka will disinfect and alleviate a jellyfish sting.
14. Pour vodka over an area affected with poison ivy to remove the
urushiol oil from your skin.

And silly me!
I've only been drinking the stuff!! Or at least talking about it!
Have fun today - Know - the answer to life's insanity is not found in a Mocha Vodka Latte -
Jesus said, "I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life!"

Who would have thunk it? The husband and I don't drink. He would fall over if I brought a bottle of Vodka home. It would be for cleaning purposes only!
Yep, thats it. If you see us at a liquor store, its OK, we are just buying cleaning supplies!
LOL! It'll kill bee's and wasp's and people still wanna drink it?! ;P
I'm with LeAnna, yikes! :)
Girls...Parallaz has a program tailored just for you! And hey, I thought Dr. Pepper was Devil juice, now I am confused.
I'm the same with bourbon...or whine...or a hard lemonade...shoot I'll talk about it a lot, but consumption is rare. But thinking about the consumption, and watching "Super Nanny" and "Wife Swap", brings life into perspective and all is good. Not a drop downed!
So basically use it as rubbing alcohol... I think for the safety of all our Christian friends and relatives (particularly the Baptist ones -- no heart attacks please!), we'd be better off sticking to rubbing alcohol bought at WalMart! :) Good tips though...wonder if any other alcohols do the same thing?
Herbalists use Vodka to create tinctures as well.
I'm not sure those explanations for the use of it would fly if I was seen buying it at the store by someone from our church!!!
That's crazy! I've seen a similar list with Coca-Cola!!!
Wow that is interesting? The fact that the "wife" and her husband don't drink? haha just playin.I never knew vodka had so many uses. I will have to try a few. I hope you are doing ok. I have had you in my thoughts constantly today. Hugs my sad friend.
I'll have to try some of these!
hee hee!!!
Those are such great ideas!! I had no idea Vodka had so many different uses!!
Well apparently I've been living under a rock! Who knew?! Wonder if anyone would believe me if I told them I needed it to clean my shower.
That is hilarious, thanks for sharing. I know a few people that would get a kick out of this list!
Hmmm...that is interesting! Never ever thought vodka would have so many uses!
Cool! I wonder how intoxicated the person was when they tried all these ideas! Maybe they only THINK it does the trick!
May have to go buy a bottle and give some of them a try....
Guess I'd better get out the phone book and see where the closest liquor store is first.
Wow, I never knew it had so many uses.
Dang...and all this time, I have been wasting it by drinking it!
What a wonderful and very, very interesting post!
Haha! I am the same way these days... I joke about it, but I cannot remember the last time I actually drank any. (Wait, I did have beer at the dancehall last weekend. A big $5 tab!) Not that I am opposed to... in moderation of course. But now I know what to do with the leftovers...
Too funny!
