STOOPID TIPS !!!! by alka seltzer

Ants, ants, ants everywhere. They are said to never cross a chalk line. So get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march.


Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and leaves a lovely smell to the shine.


When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.


Uses for Alka Seltzer:
Clean a toilet. Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China.
Clean a vase. To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
Polish jewelry. Drop two Alka Seltzer tablets into a glass of water and immerse the jewelry for two minutes.
Clean a thermos bottle. Fill the bottle with water, drop in four Alka Seltzer tablets, and let soak for an hour (or longer, if necessary).
Unclog a drain. Clear the sink drain by dropping three Alka Seltzer tablets down the drain followed by a cup of Heinz White Vinegar. Wait a few minutes, then run the hot water.

Andrew had 1 hit in last nights game and I understand that he was robbed from a another hit as member of the A's made a good play on a screaming line drive. The Devil Rays have one more game before the big matchup with Vincie's ( where have you been on the blog) Braves next thursday night at 7:30pm at Ironbridge on fiel #4. The Carolina Hurricanes fell to the Buffalo Sabres last night 4-3 and with the win the Sabres take 2-1 lead in the series, the Edmonton Oilers can win the Western Conference finals tonight with a victory over Anaheim.

We hit the ball fairly well but Matoaca just played a better all around game than we did. It was pretty good season for the Colonials with allot of ups and downs, the Colonials finish the season with a 13-8 record. In the other game in the CD tournament Prince George defeated Dinwiddie 8-7 and with the win PG also advances to the next weeks regionals. In soccer the CH girls team lost in a shootout 2-1 to Hopewell, I think the boys team also lost but I don't know the score of that game. Andrews LL team will be back in action tonight at 7:30pm against the A's at Ironbridge Park.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

I just thought I would wish all the Mothers who read or visit the blog a Happy Mothers Day. I went to see UVA play UNC in baseball and unfortunately the bad guys got the victory 5-0. UVA's offense just couldn't get on track, the UVA starting pitcher kept them in the game only allowing 1 run in 7 innings before UNC got 4 runs in the top of the 9th off the UVA bullpen. The final game of the series is at 1pm today. The UVA stadium is very nice but I have say it isn't as nice as East Carolina baseball stadium. The CH Colonials will have a busy week this week weather permitting, the Colonials will play Hopewell at home on monday, will be at Matoaca on tuesday, and at Meadowbrook on thursday. This is the final week of the regular season and the CD tournament starts next tuesday at Prince George. Greg Biffle won last night Nextel Cup race at Darlington, that is Biffle's first win of the season. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, MICKEY

COLONIALS POSTPONED AGAIN, HEADING TO UVA TODAY

The CH Colonials baseball game with Hopewell was postponed again on friday due to poor field conditions at Shepherd Stadium due to recent rains. The game has been rescheduled for monday at 6pm, it suppose to rain again on sunday and monday so that is very tenative. The Colonials have three regular season games left before the CD tournament which begins on May 23 at Prince George. The Virginia Private School Baseball Tounament begins thursday at the stadium so puts a limit on what days we can play at home this week and the weather for the rest of next week isn't to promising either. I am heading up to see the UVA baseball team play this afternoon at 1pm against the UNC, the Cavs won the 1st game of the series last night 4-1. This is the first time that I gone a UVA baseball game, both teams are ranked in the top 10 in the country. There are about about 10 of us going up there to see the game. Matoaca defeated Dinwiddie last night 3-1 and with the win have pretty much won the the CD baseball championship, they have a two game lead on everybody else and they have a game with Petersburg next week. I did go down to Wal-Mart this morning at 6am and yes the donuts were ready, I think they must have a new bake becuse the last few weeks the donuts have been much better. I also heard that there was a George sighting in CH yesterday but I don't no if there is any proof of this. MICKEY

COLONIALS WASHED OUT, WILL TRY AGAIN TONIGHT

The CH Colonials baseball game with Hopewell was washed out last night and has been rescheduled for tonight at 6pm. There is chance that it might still be to wet to play at Shepherd Stadium tonight with the amount of rain we got yesterday. It appears that all CD games were postponed yesterday, there were no scores in the TD from the CD. We just got some heavy rain and some wind here in CH but other parts of the area got allot more severe weather with hail and even a possibility of some tornadoes that might have touched down, there is nothing official on that yet though. The weather does look nice today with temps in the low 70's and it's suppose to be sunn all day. Keith will be returning home from Michigan today and tough week of work in Detroit.

SENIOR NIGHT IN COLONIAL HEIGHTS

It will be senior night tonight as the Colonials play there final home game of the season against Hopewell at 6pm. This years seniors are Kyle Mears, Jonathan Wells, Ben Fulp, Andrew Holt and Geordie Breidenbach. The weather isn't looking to good for tonights game but lets hope it holds off until after the game, but there is a pretty good chance for som strong storms this afternoon. In CD action yesterday Matoaca beat Hopewell 11-5 and Dinwiddie beat Thomas Dale 3-0, I have no word on what Andrew's LL team did last night, maybe Keith can give us an update on that. I talked to Scott last night and he said that he has now been fitted for his tux for the wedding, he said he did have a brief problem before he got the situation corrected with the people at After Hours. I did see fellow blogger Mark at the JV baseball game yesterday, the Colonials JV team lost 13-11 in 8 innings, there was plenty of offense in this won.

I have to say that I didn't sleep at all last night, I was still thinking about the 9-4 loss at Prince George. The more I thought about the more I tossed and turned. The only other CD game played yesterday was Meadowbrook beating Petersburg 10-0, the other 2 games Dinwiddie at TD and Matoaca at Hopewell were washed out. The Colonials will play there last home game of the season thursday night against Hopewell weather permitting, it will be senior night for the Colonial seniors. The NWS service is calling for rain tonight and most of thursday.

COLONIALS FALL APART AT PRINCE GEORGE

The CH Colonials went into the the bottom of the 6 with a 3-1 when things fell apart. Prince George scored 8 runs in the inning eroute to 9-4 victory over the Colonials. There was number of events that lead to the Colonials downfall. It does bother me that losing doesn't seem to bother some members of the team, I hate to lose and it bothers me. It just seems that some people just don't seem to care one way or another, I am frustrated. MICKEY

COLONIALS ON THE ROAD TONIGHT

The CH Colonials will be on the road tonight at 6pm against Prince George weather permitting.

A SOGGY START TO THE WORK WEEK

Well it started raining pretty steady yesterday afternoon and it's still raining pretty stady here in CH this morning. On the radar it appears that most of the heavy rain is going to move out the area this morning but it they are calling for light rain and drizzle this afternoon as well with temps only around 57. The weather looks pretty nice on tuesday and wed but it is suppose to rain again on thursday as well. Down at Kill Devil Hills since midnight they have had over 2.65 inches of rain and for the month they have had almost 5 inches already. I know we need some rain but we don't need it all once. Keith is in Detroit this week for work and should be sometime friday, I thought he might go see the Tiger play but it appears that they will be on the road this week.

IT LOOKS LIKE SOME RAIN IS ON THE WAY

Well it looks like it will be getting a bit wet the next two days here in CH. They are calling for some rain this afternoon and there is 90% chance of rain on monday and the temp probably won't make it to 60 on monday, by the looks of the radar it looks like Georgia is getting a pretty good rain this morning. It sounds like Andrew is on a tear at the plate, I guess he listened to me earlier in the year when I gave him some batting instructions. He may be hitting it like Bopper used too but I am the one who gave him some hitting instructions so I will take credit for his great hitting. Andrew's team will be back in action wed night at 6pm at Ironbridge against the Marlins. I went and threw a little batting practice to Preston's LL team yesterday at the A field in CH, Preston thought they needed to see some right handed pitching at practice since they have been knocking him around a bit and I mean that literally. It was good to see JR win again last night, it has been a while since he has won. The Carolina Hurricanes won game 1 over the Devils 6-0 yesterday ending the Devils 16 game winning streak, the Canes looked pretty and I hope that they can keep on winning because I don't like the Devils at all.

Devil Rays Win!! Rays Win!

The Rookie Devil Rays defeated the Rookie Phillies tonight by the of score 12-11. The Rays struck early by posting a 3 spot in the top of the first, the big blow was a two run homer by your favorite Devil Ray. Unfortunately, the lead was short lived, as the Philles rallied for 4 runs in their half of the first and as the final score indicates it was see-saw battle the rest of the way.

The Rays own a 12-9 lead in the bottom of the 5th, however things didn't look good for them as the Phillies plated two runs before Rays go the first out, a strikeout by "Big Blue" the machine. The next guy grounded out to the second baseman (who happened to be your favorite Ray) and "Big Blue" then gave up two singles before settling down and getting a strikeout to end the game.

Andrew line: 3 for 3, 3 runs, 3 rbis, HR at the plate. Defensively he recorded an unassisted putout a 1st base and (as mentioned) 4-3 assist in the crucial last inning.

Andrew's LL team will be back in action tonight at 6pm against the Phillies at Ironbridge Park. MICKEY
