"HELPS"
God Bless Our Caregivers!
Hi folks! While watching my exhausted hubby nap between loads of laundry today I felt led to see what I could find on the net for our caregivers. And don't forget - in many ways, we are our own caregivers too. So please check these sites out yourself, when you feel up to it, and *please* share whatever you think worthy with those who are caring for you, or others.

Here's a handy little hint. Whether we do our own housecleaning, or not, somebody has to do it. And this should help save some time and effort. 8~)
Soap Scum: Gone!
I threw out all of my bar soap long ago. I use only a liquid soap to shower or bathe. Because of this, my tub has to be cleaned about 75 percent less and it is easier to clean when I do clean it. The stuff that makes the soap into a bar is what makes the "bathtub ring" and the soap scum.
