Average length of days for the week 11 hours 53 minutes ... October 1, 1810, the

Be certain and on the level, to trust to chance is to dance with the Devil.
Ask the Old Farmer How come my mother would
tell us to "ready-off" the table when she wanted it
"Redan" or "redd" of French origin is to rearrange or put in
Home Hints: Mu half vinegar, half water, to clean crystal
