Hi Helen, this is a great idea if you don't have an egg separator. I have one I have had for years that I got as a favor at a Pampered Chef party one of my neighbors had several years ago but know what? I rarely use it, I just usually crack the egg on the side and then pour it back and forth between the two halves. This usually works about 99% of the time but this bottle trick is an ingenious idea. :)

Hello

You don't need to know what she is saying to get the gist of this video.

Hey, you never know when this might come in handy.

As many of you may or may not know, our area of SW Florida has some horrible weather coming our way from TS Isaac. The rain predictions are very high and though we could use the rain we certainly don't need it in such a short time frame. As with any TS the outer bands will have flooding downpours, potentially destructive winds, can trigger brief, but intense tornadoes and can cause a sizeable storm surge, so for you praying people we need all your prayers that God will spare us too much damage. Not sure how much I will be online in the next couple of days and that will depend on whether or not we have power outages so if you don't see me you can say the electricity is off. Everyone have a blessed day and wonderful week. :)

Billionaire Ty Warner gives woman $20,000 for her cause after asking her for directions

By Ron Recinto | The Sideshow – Fri, Aug 24, 2012

A woman who helped a lost man ended up with a surprise $20,000 gift.

That's what happened last month when Jennifer Vasilakos guided Ty Warner when he stopped and asked for driving directions in Santa Barbara, Calif.

While Warner didn't know exactly how to get to where he was going, Vasilakos didn't realize who she was helping.

Warner is the billionaire founder of Ty Inc., the Beanie Baby company.

Vasilakos was at the intersection trying to raise $20,000 for a stem cell procedure she needs to help save her life because she suffers from kidney failure and does not qualify for a transplant.

I often get asked by random strangers for directions. Not one to miss an opportunity, I handed him my flyer and he made a fifty dollar donation. As he drove off, I thought that was the end of our encounter... He'd returned after an hour or so. Rolling down his window, he reached out his hand and introduced himself. I immediately recognized his name. He was kind and sincere as he looked directly into my eyes... I listened as he repeated over and over that he was going to help me. That my fundraising was done. That I didn't need to worry any longer. He said he would send a check after he returned to his offices during the week.

He was true to his word. Vasilakos, an herbalist and Reiki teacher, received a package on July 16 with a $20,000 check and with a handwritten note from Warner. The note read in part, "Someone up there loves you because I was guided to meet you Saturday. I never lose my way, but fate had me lost and ask you for directions. The rest of the story I hope will be a wonderful new life for you."

"After I serendipitously met Jennifer, I further educated myself on her stem cell needs. I was shocked that this particular type of treatment wasn't available to her in the U.S.," Warner said in a media release. "My hope is that we can bring this lifesaving treatment to the forefront so that it can become more readily available and provide alternatives for people like Jennifer."
