I always gave the kids i dont even remember how much, but i gave them more for the first tooth, then when they lost the whole mouth when you were a kid, do you remember getting money under your pillow . A quarter. That was in the 80s, you know . When a quarter meant something. A quarter was a dollar. Some parents do go crazy, leave 10, 20 under the pillow for a tooth. You ruin it for the other kids. Human nature is never going to change, hoda. As soon as you accept that, youre going to be a happier person. 32 teeth, 32 times 3 is, what . 96 . 96, so there. Thats all i have to say about that. Allegedly, i did. I didnt study math. This is sad, you hear about the kids who allegedly cheated on the test at harvard about the introduction to congress. But anyway, this is upsetting. This bestselling author, who has been posting positive reviews on amazon. Com, not just posting great reviews of his own never seen what he looked like. Hes a crime writer, he writes crime novels, you may have read it a simple act of violence. I missed that. He wrote on his own amazon page. He wrote a modern masterpiece. Can you imagine . Cuts your soul. A modern masterpiece. We all think what we write is. Let somebody else say it. He was outed by a fellow crime writer for posting the glowing reviews. Heres the thing, its one thing to put the glowing reviews about yourself, he posted really negative reviews for his competitors novels. Thats just not right. Heres the thing, r. J. Elroy confessed that he did it, said he was guilty of it, thats it. He said the practice is very widespread among authors. Get your friends to do it, you know . You know what dont do it yourself. You know what book im reading that is so crazy good that i didnt think it was going to be, and i know its been on the best seller forever, i know im late, killing lincoln.

He at one point lunged at lincoln. He was kind of a celebrity and thats why he wanted to kill lincoln in his own house in ford theater, because thats where he performed. Bad review, hate his politics . Hated all the stuff with the spring of the slaves, and, you know. I heard this is fantastic. I cant put it down.

Okay, so heres something restaurants are considering that may upset you. Okay, when it is peak time to eat, 7 00, 8 00. People peak at different times. Pretend its the hot time for a table, many restaurants are considering raising the prices for your meal at that time. The same steak you buy at 5 30 costs you more if you buy it at 8 00 at night, because they want to clear those tables and keep people moving. I get it. Many places have the early bird special, less expensive meal earlier, but now they are thinking about raising the prices later in the evening. No, there are new york restaurants that are not going to do that. They are talking about it. One thing we dont like as much is the trend that they are starting to keep logs about you.

Comes in different colors. Neutral, this is a cherry. Quadruple zero steel wool. The more zeros, the finer the steel wool. You take a little and go with the grain nice and easily. Dont scratch.

You get a heat ring on a dining room table, you do this and it takes it right away. What was the name of that product . Howards restore a finish. Different colors. Very good. What is the best solution to use for hair being clogged in the shower drain. We had that the other day. Had to call a guy in. Your number one clog is with hair, whether its in the shower drain or vanity. Take the stopper out. When you go underneath your sink, this makes the stopper go up and down. All you have to do is loosen this little tab right here. Pull it off. This drain pulls out. I would be afraid i couldnt put it back. Its easy. We put hair in there. This is called the drain clog. Greatest invention ever i didnt invent. It has velcro on the end and a piece of wire, for crying out loud. Put inside the drain in your sink or bathroom. Pull it down in there. Youre going to be amazed and disgusted all in one. Did susan do that . Looks like a mouse. It looks like a mouse. This is reusable. Most people say im going to throw this away. Just clean it. A 4 item. Will somebody take this . There we go. Our next one. There is an odor coming from my bathroom sinks. I tried baking soda, peroxide, boiling water didnt help. What happens is, theres a trap down there that holds water so you dont hear the sewer gas. I pour all this stuff down there. Bacteria forms outside of the drain above the water. Take a little pine sol. Pour a little bit down in there. I love the smell. I do, too. This is a pipe brush. Push it down in the drain and scrub it up and down. Cleaning those sides. This takes two seconds. This will be all dirty. This is the tooth paste and washing your face, it goes on the sides there. Thats where the odor comes from. Its gum on the sides. Scum youre gross. Last one. I just moved into a new house that was that has an old thermostat. My question is, can i change it to a digital thermostat easy or does it require a pro . Its very easy. This is a more traditional one and programmable. This is what people need to know. By installing a programmable thermostat and using it to manipulate the temperature, you can save up to 20 on your energy bills. As opposed to keeping it at the same temperature . When you take this off the wall, youre going to see this is the base plate. The wires come through here. What you cant see, there are letters, a w, a y, n. That has to do with the colors of the wire. Yellow is y, w is white. You correspond those to this. Snap it back in place. You need a masters degree to program it. Im kidding. To put the wires on it is easy. Manipulating that temperature, youll save money and be more comfortable. This does the temperature within one degree. Thank you, lou manfredini. Who is better than lou .
