faucet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No matter how hard you turn the
handle, the stupid thing just won't stop it's constant dripping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
But before you bring over your cousin Earl (who's always
bragging about what a brilliant self-taught plumber he is), let's see if you
can’t make any headway on this leaky faucet yourself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The vast majority of leaky faucets are due to a faulty
handle where wear and tear or an obstruction or buildup of debris is keeping
the handle from fully shutting off the water .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are four major types of faucets: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>compression, ball, ceramic disc, and cartridge
faucets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The best way to fix a leaky faucet is to actually remove the
handle that is loose or worn down and clean it's parts from any corrosion or
debris buildup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So here's how you go
about doing that without flooding your entire house: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Before you get started, it's important to do these things
first: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shut off the water
from under the sink by finding the cut off valve. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cover the sink
drain to ensure screws, nuts, bolts and other small objects don't fall in it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
3.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Put some duct tape
around the jaws of your wrench to ensure you don't scratch up the fixture.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
4. Spread a towel out on the counter for laying out all the
faucet parts.<br />
5. Have a small container of distilled white vinegar and a
scouring pad for cleaning off the mineral deposits and other debris on the
faucet parts.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most likely if you have a leaky faucet, you have a
compression faucet. Compression faucets
are the most likely faucets to develop a leak; but thankfully they are also the
easiest to fix. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here's how to deassemble the compression faucet: <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pry off the decorative cap on top of the faucet handle. You will see the top of a screw that is
holding the handle into place. Remove it
with a screwdriver. Lift the handle up
and you will see a packing nut. Remove
the packing nut with your wrench and lift it up - it is joined to a stem, and
on the end of the stem you will find an O-ring and a rubber seat washer. These
small rubber washers are how compression faucets shut off the water. If your rubber washer has become too worn,
you’ll want to replace it as it may very well be the cause of your leak.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After you’ve taken everything apart, clean each piece well
with the vinegar. Then, reassemble the faucet. Make sure the faucet works and
that water flows as usual. Then cross those fingers and see if the leak
remains. In most cases, cleaning the faucet’s components and/or replacing the
rubber washers will effectively solve the problem and you’ll be leak-free. But
in those rare cases when you need to contact a professional, it helps to have a
<a href="http://www.ahs.com/">home warranty</a> that can cover the repairs.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hello all! I'm Plucky from <a href="http://www.pluckys-secondthought.com/" target="_blank">Plucky’s Second Thought</a>…but most call me Jess. :) Why "Plucky" you may ask? Well, it was a nickname when I was younger and it was one that was never forgotten! At <a href="http://www.pluckys-secondthought.com/" target="_blank">Plucky’s Second Thought</a> I try to post easy craft projects and recipes that anyone could accomplish. Yep, you don’t have to be Martha Stewart or Rachael Ray to attempt anything on my blog! There are also a variety of travel and product reviews as well as some awesome giveaways and link parties! :)<br />
I wanted to share a recent recipe that my family had for breakfast! It's COMPLETELY easy and TOTALLY delicious! :)<br />
This is the prefect recipe for that Saturday or Sunday morning when there's nothing to do but get together as a family and have a delicious breakfast! :)<br />
<b><i>French Toast Casserole</i></b><br />
<b>
<img align="right" border="0" height="300" src="http://www.pluckys-secondthought.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/French_Toast_Casserole.jpg" width="300" />Ingredients:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>firm white bread</li>
<li>1/3 cup pecans</li>
<li>1/2 cup packed brown sugar</li>
<li>1 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste</li>
<li>8 large eggs</li>
<li>1 3/4 cups almond milk</li>
<li>2 teaspoons vanilla extract</li>
<li>powdered sugar and maple syrup, for serving</li>
</ul>
<b>Directions:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Using a piece of waxed paper, generously grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.</li>
<li>Slice the bread into 12 (1 inch) slices, then cut each slice into 1 inch cubes.</li>
<li>Chop the nuts using a knife.</li>
<li>In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans or walnuts.</li>
<li>Arrange half the bread in a single layer in the prepared dish, then sprinkle half the sugar mixture evenly over the top; add a second layer with the remaining bread and the sugar mixture.</li>
<li>In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs; add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until well blended.</li>
<li>Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, starting from the outer edge; with a spatula, gently press down on the bread to coat it with the egg mixture.</li>
<li>Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.</li>
<li>Heat the oven to 350 degrees; bake the casserole covered for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until the casserole turns a light golden brown and looks slightly puffed, about 30 minutes more.</li>
<li>Serve the casserole warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup!</li>
</ul>

I received my first pair free from <a href="http://www.firmoo.com/" target="_blank">Firmoo</a>. I was totally surprised when I got my package and saw all the extra goodies that I got - with my first pair of glasses (or sunglasses in my case) - which were free! There was a hard case, a soft case (not pictured), a cleaning cloth, a repair tool, and 2 extra screws (not pictured).<br />

Overall, the process was easy. Firmoo.com has a virtual try on station. You can upload your photo and try on any pair of glasses they offer. So you can essentially see what your glasses will look like on your face before you buy them. TIP - make sure you use a picture where your face is straight on at the camera!<br />

Since I don't wear prescription glasses, I opted for sunglasses. You can select the grade of shading and the color of the shading. They also have a ton of more options you can add to your glasses such as anti-scratch, etc.<br />

Carrying three plates in her left hand and another in her right, she wore jeans and a T-shirt that read <i>Ivan's: Try Our Fish Just for the Halibut</i>. She brought the plates to four men wearing polo shirts; the one closest to her caught her eye and smiled. Though he tried to act as though he was just a friendly guy, she knew he was watching her as she walked away. Melody had mentioned the men had come from Wilmington and were scouting locations for a movie.</span></span><br />

Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.</span><br />

With Jo’s empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.</span><div>

Nicholas Sparks book inspired movies do not seem like they would be the types of books that would top my "to read" list, but I have a thing about reading books that are turned into movies - not sure why I like them so much - but I thought since most of his books are made into movies, I'd give this one a go. My first impression was not the same as my last impression.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span"><span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The beginning of this book - like the beginning of most movies based on books by NS - was slow. I had a hard time keeping pace and attention. I felt it was rather predictable - which I predicted correctly all along - but then again, I believe the author intended for you to. Girl runs away from husband. Girl lands in small town. Girl falls in love. Husband comes looking for her. Pretty typical...but then there was a twist that I had not seen coming!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Overall, it actually turned out to be a good book. The ending is what grabbed me the most. At one point, I couldn't put the book down. While most of the book was predictable - and was all the way through - there were some twists at the end that I had not anticipated. Twists that made this book what it was - a NS tear jerker. Although I did not cry while reading the book - I have a feeling that the movie will have a whole other impact - even though I know what is coming.</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">There was something in this book that just annoyed me to no end. The way the author portrayed the ex-husband, Kevin. I know he was supposed to appear as a drunken lunatic, but that doesn't mean that the book needs to make him speak or think like a caveman. It really irritated me. This man was a professional; obviously he spoke English somewhat well or people would have questioned his mental state.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">As I stated, I enjoyed this book. After the first few chapters it kept me engaged and I actually started to fall in love with the characters - and was hopeful for where the storyline would go and a happy ending. The suspense at the end of the book and the "twist" made me need more. Unfortunately, this book was not a series, and the author leaves the book in a final state ending - but I was glad for that. Too many books leave you wanting more!</span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><i style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Safe Haven</i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> is an enjoyable read. </span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">This book was "fresh air" for me. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">The storyline/interest captivation really developed at the end of the book. I will be checking out the movie next - I'm excited to see that Josh Duhamel is Alex! He will definitely have my attention!</span><br />

However, this week I was in fact awarded, not 1, but 2 Liebster Awards! I was nominated by April at <a href="http://heartonguard.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hearts on Guard</a> and also by Darla at <a href="http://camomsworld.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mom's World</a>. Thank you ladies for the nominations!</center>

I stole the description of what a Liebster Award was from April:</center>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #674ea7;">Sounds pretty fancy schmancy, but basically it's a way to show newbie bloggers some love :) Liebster is German, meaning sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing and welcome. It's bestowed on new and upcoming blogs who have fewer than 200 followers.</span></span></blockquote>

I started my blog back in September 2008 as a way to journal, write, and vent my frustrations. At the time I wasn't married nor did I have any children. Eventually, my "busy" life got in the way and while I still read blogs and kept up with my close friends, I stopped blogging myself. After I had my son, I found myself subscribing to more and more blogs. Finally, I decided to start posting again. And here we are present day, winning 2 newbie blogger awards!</center>

(Since I was nominated twice, I decided to supply double the facts!)</span></h3>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">1. I figure skated competitively for 13 years and eventually taught lessons. Boy do I miss those days...and those legs.<br /><br />2. My brother is my best friend. No matter what, hes always there for me and understands me in a way that some of my very close friends never will.<br /><br />3. I was diagnosed with severe endometriosis at 14. I've had 4 surgeries, but it keeps spreading. I've been dealing with this for over 10 years and I'm at the point that I wish they would just take everything out. 2 more years...wish granted.<br /><br />4. I'm addicted to teen-fiction-vampire-romance novels.<br /><br />5. When I was a child, I wanted to be a writer and write books. I'm a very creative writer and love to write whenever I get the chance.<br /><br />6. Speaking of writing, I am published. My college english/writing teacher published one of my homework assignments. A paper that I wrote for an assignment in a college writing class...a paper that I wrote at 2 am drunk as a skunk. It was a comparative essay titled...<are> Santa Claus vs. The Easter Bunny.<br /><br />7. In H.S., my best friend Val called me "dumbass" on the way to the dance for leaving the homecoming tickets at home. Guess it kind of stuck, because to this day, she still calls me dumbass....and so does her husband.<br /><br />8. I'm a pretty good dart player. I've played in leagues since I was 17. I used to be better than I am now...could be better than I am now, but enjoy it more as a hobby than anything.<br /><br />9. I love Marilyn Monroe & Elvis Presley. The good ones always die so young.<br /><br />10. One of my favorite movies is Gone with the Wind. My grandma and I watched it as a little girl...how many little girls do you know that could sit through a movie that long? Other favorites is the Cutting Edge, Dirty Dancing, North & South, and Pearl Harbor. I could watch those again and again.<br /><br />11. I'm married to the guy that I was infatuated with in high school. But he was off limits back then because he dated a friend of mine. I think after 10 years, its ok for me to date a guy that a friend dated briefly in HS.<br /><br />12. I love cars. But now that I'm a mom - there is not a muscle car in my future any time soon! Maybe one day - although I'm sure we will have a Harley before a Nova...<br /><br />13. I want to learn how to play the piano. I took lessons as a kid, but hated it. Now I'm at an age to appreciate it.<br /><br />14. I have a bucket list...a list of things I want to do before I "kick the bucket". I've had this list since I was in high school...although over the years, some things have been marked off and others added. I've never showed it to anyone, nor will I.<br /><br />15. I am an organized mess. From the looks of things, you would think that I'm a slob, but I'm actually very organized.<br /><br />16. It is my generation to have triplets. Which thankfully, did not happen!<br /><br />17. I HATE onions. Its actually the smell I can't stand...but therefore, I cannot eat them. I also hate mushy foods, i.e bananas, beans,etc. etc.<br /><br />18. I share a birthday with Neil Diamond, Mary Lou Retton, and the great John Belushi.<br /><br />19. I took swing dancing lessons. I'm not saying I'm good at this type of dancing, but I got some moves...<br /><br />20. I hate shopping. I'm really not a girly girl. I prefer to shop online...<br /><br />21. I tried to enlist in the military out of high school...but they wouldn't take be because of my health issues.<br /><br />22. I can drink gallons of iced tea. It is one of my favorite drinks. No wonder I can't sleep at night!!</are></span></span></div>

<strong>WHEN YOU LINK UP TO THIS PARTY:</strong></div>
<ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li><em><strong>Follow your hosts and co-hosts</strong></em></li>
<li>Link up the <em><strong>main page of your blog</strong></em>, not an individual post. You may link up your individual posts to <a href="http://www.thisgalcooks.com/category/marvelous-mondays/">Marvelous Mondays</a>.</li>
<li>Visit and follow other bloggers</li>
<li>Comment to let them know that you stopped by and how you followed (Email, GFC, Facebook, Bloglovin, etc)</li>
<li>Invite them to visit your blog (<em>be sure to leave your blog web address - too many times have i seen bloggers comment and request a visit to their blog without leaving their blog web address</em>)</li>
<li>Communicate with them about what you like on their blog. Let them know you are interested in their blog.<strong> USE THEIR NAME! </strong>A simple "I'm so and so stopping by. I followed you please follow me." just isn't going to interest someone into visiting your blog. Sure, you can request a visit to your blog or a follow along but engage in some type of conversation first.</li>
<li>Grab a button and promote the party(you can get the button on This Gal Cooks right <a href="http://www.thisgalcooks.com/link-parties-2/">here</a>.)</li>

I love watching the Grammys - unfortunately, I had a little too much fun this past weekend and was so exhausted by Sunday evening that I couldn't make it through the end. Last night, while laying in bed, my hubby starts singing these horrible, confusing lyrics...</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Forrest Gump, you run my mind boy</center>
<center>
Running on my mind boy</center>
<center>
Forrest Gump</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I was like, WTH?? Super confused...</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
He proceeded to tell me about the song this guy on the Grammys sang right after I fell asleep. I had to check it out. I watched the video on you tube</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KlsHpVnYhvU" width="560"></iframe></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Again, WTF?</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center>
So then I had to check out the lyrics...and I got the giggles. Partially because of the site that I got the lyrics off of, I'll get to that in a minute.</center>

So - I found the lyrics on <a href="http://rapgenius.com/">rapgenius.com</a>. This site had me dying laughing for almost an hour after the "Forrest Gump" finding. I proceeded to look up more songs and see the meanings behind them. One of my favorites was Little Jon "Get Low". Tony recorded me reading the "meaning" behind the lyrics because I was laughing so hard he said that made it even funnier. (I made him delete his recording because it was awful!!). Anyway - here is a line from one of my favorites:</center>
