The only thing I thought it was good for was for the rabbits to munch on. Who knew there was more to this plant - it's an herb! It's just a weed in my flower bed that I pull up and throw away but I'll certainly look at it differently now.

ONE TEST, MANY INTERPRETATIONS...Your thyroid gland
plays a crucial role in regulating just about everything, including your
heart rate, metabolism, muscles and mood. If your thyroid is
underactive (hypothyroidism), it’s not making enough thyroid hormone, so
your body starts pumping out extra thyroid-<i>stimulating</i> hormone
(TSH), which makes your TSH levels high. Insufficient amounts of thyroid
hormone can cause symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, chills, and dry
skin, hair and nails. On the other hand, when your thyroid is making too
much thyroid hormone, you’ve got an overactive thyroid
(hyperthyroidism), which causes weight loss, insomnia and anxiety. <br />

Dirty lint trays and clogged dryer vents cost consumers millions each year. Statistics state that there are over 15,000 dryer fires each year causing 15 deaths and $99 million in property damage. Failure to clean is cited as the main cause of fires. Add to these losses the energy costs of running the dryer over and over for the same load. A dirty dryer vent can add $10-$25 to your energy bill each month. By following a few simple steps, you can make your dryer safer and more efficient saving you time and money.

As adults the doctors are always telling us we need more calcium. Milk’s not only good for you but here are 5 uses for milk that you might not have thought of.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Stain Pretreater</b><br />
No use crying over spilled…wine. If you dribble some red on a shirt or dress, submerge the soiled part in whole milk, squeeze out the excess immediately, then launder as usual. (If the item is dry-clean only, leave it for the pros.)<br />
<br />
<b>2. Bath Soak</b><br />
Add 1 cup of milk to a tub of warm water before you slip in to zone out. The lactic acid in milk softens skin –so it really does a body good!<br />
<br />
<b>3. Shoe Shine</b><br />
Moisten a cloth with milk and buff dull patent leather back to gleaming glory – minus harsh polish fumes.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Burn Soother</b><br />
Curling-iron mishap? Cover minor burns with a washcloth soaked in whole milk. The fat in the milk calms inflammation and helps skin heal.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Plant Rescuer</b><br />
Mix 1 part milk with 9 parts water and spray on plants dotted with powdery mildew. Repeat weekly to keep leaves fungus-free.Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01013951216775023545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845534186540844378.post-31258056245876501832011-09-10T20:29:00.001-04:002011-09-11T17:30:57.139-04:0031 Uses For Baking Soda<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k8XQjWQWPQU/Tmv25eJuNpI/AAAAAAAAAxo/ADr45Z0xZLI/s1600/bakingsoda.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k8XQjWQWPQU/Tmv25eJuNpI/AAAAAAAAAxo/ADr45Z0xZLI/s1600/bakingsoda.jpeg" /></a></div>Baking soda can do a lot more than just sit in the back of the fridge. Try these easy tips and put baking soda to work in every room of your house!<br />
<br />
1. Skip produce washes—just put some baking soda on a damp sponge, scrub and rinse.<br />
<br />
2. Soak hair brushes and combs in a mixture of 1 teaspoon baking soda and a small amount of warm water. Rinse and dry.<br />
<br />
3.

Now some 50 years later I have chickens again, or should I say my son and his family have the chickens and I reap the rewards. LOL <br />
<br />
With all the talk about eggs today and all the benefits and objections I thought you might glean some information from this article I found called "Shopping for Eggs." It's written by Dr. Russ and Beth Avery, R.D.<br />
<br />
"Eggs are a staple of many people's meals, whether by themselves or as a significant part of a favorite recipe. Nowadays, however, with mixed messages about the health benefits of eggs in the media and increasingly crowded labels on the boxes, buying eggs can get a little confusing. This week I've put together a video to help you make the best choices for your family when it comes to buying eggs. So <b><a href="http://www.harristeeter.com/yourwellness/e_letter/shopping_for_eggs.aspx?utm_source=Publicaster&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Harris%20Teeter%20yourwellness%20e-letter&utm_term=click+here" style="color: black;">click here</a> </b>and let's shop and learn together!"Maryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01013951216775023545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845534186540844378.post-80490874302313931372011-02-09T21:05:00.000-05:002011-02-09T21:05:15.562-05:00OH NO…School Is Closed Again!We've heard this a lot this winter and what a winter we've had! I’ve heard people say they moved to North Carolina because they heard we had mild winters. HA! Who told them that? Also heard someone say we had never had this much snow. Again…HA! I’ve lived here all my life and I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. In 1960 some areas had as much as 60 inches of snow. Now that's deep! I should know...I was 8 years old and couldn't go outside because I would disappear in the snow!!!!!<br />
<br />
To this date Buncombe County has missed more school than the State has allotted so now we are looking at Saturday School and classes up into June!!!! Bummer.<br />
<br />
As a mother, and grandmother, I understand the frustration. Been there, done that...but some of the comments on Twitter and Face Book really have me wondering. Are parents upset because they have to deal with the children at home...or...are they mad because it may mess up their summer vacation????? It sure doesn’t sound like they are concerned about the safety of the children.<br />
<br />
I'm certainly glad that someone is concerned for the safety of the children! I'd much rather they err on the side of caution than see the results of a school bus accident due to ice.<br />
<br />
As a child I was on a school bus that hit a patch of ice and slid out of the road and was tilted at the edge of an embankment just waiting to flip over and roll down to the bottom. We were trapped there for SEVERAL hours before they could rescue us! I remember thinking I was going to die!!! No child should ever be in that situation!!!!<br />
<br />
Someone at our school board had deemed the roads to be in good shape and had not closed or delayed school that day. They had not taken into account that some areas and roads might be in worse condition than the main roads so therefore everything was good. <br />
<br />
Thanks you Buncombe County School Board for being concerned for the safety of our children. I know it's not an easy job! Saturday and Summer School isn't what we were hoping for and I may have to change some of my plans...but I'd much rather have my child in school than in the hospital or in a grave!<br />
