Meaning: Go well; Don’t worry.
History: The expression appears twice in the New Testament (Matthew 14:27 and John 16:33) both times a statement by Jesus. In Matthew, when the disciples see Jesus walking on the sea, they are frightened. He says, ” Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” And John records him saying, in his last long talk with the disciples,” Theses things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
The problem is a common one. You combine soap residue with hard water and the resulting challenge is a build-up on the walls of the shower, the fixtures and more. It can be an ugly, difficult-to-clean mess! Sometimes, the shower and bath seem to be dirtier than you…
The solution is also a common one, pretty easy to accomplish, if you have the right tools.
A somewhat misleading concoction some think works for cleaning shower stalls and bath fixtures is to mix vinegar with ammonia and add a few other ingredients. The problem with that is the vinegar and ammonia cancel each other out in regards to the acidity and alkalinity of the products. Remember that the “crud” on the tile and tub need acidity to remove them… thus the idea of using a vinegar or acidic solution.
The solution? Create your own cleaning agent using vinegar, a drop of Dawn Dish Soap (or similar product) with super-hot water. You will need a trigger sprayer or small pump-up sprayer. Apply the home-made concoction liberally over all the areas that need to be cleaned. Allow at least 5 minutes of contact time (the more the better) and then rinse. You may need to repeat the application of the vinegar, dish soap and hot water.
Using vinegar is safe. Don’t use a harsh acid (such as a rust removing product) in place of vinegar. The chemical reaction and resulting residue from using a strong acid can be harmful to your skin or the skin of your family.
Don’t forget that a little elbow grease may be necessary to get the job done right. The soap scum and mineral deposits can be very tough to remove. But with the right amount of cleaning solutions along with your own scrubbing efforts, your shower dilemma will be over.

This weeks phrase is ” A Little Bird told me..”
Meaning: Information was given from a source that will not be revealed.
History: The origin of the thought but not quite the saying comes from The Bible in Ecclesiastes 10:20, “Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought: and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for the bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. “Brian Melbancke was close to the modern form in Philotimus (1583): ” I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.”
