Nice to see you again, Darkchylde!
Actually if asked I would say I am most like Mel Fisher of Firefly or Methos of Highlander.
Nice view.
Bear passed behind him.. LOL!
That is a very beautiful photo...thanks for all the neat info, too. ;o]
She will be back later tonight.
Probably while I myself am comatose..
That's an "SE" (Somebody Else's) photo, BTW. Mine aren't back from the developer, yet. Even when they get back, I don't have a website to post them, but I'm working on it.
AH.
Understood.
Still, the bear walked behind him...
I use http://www.imageshack.us/ for mine. I like it because it's easy. ;o]
Welcome back!
Good afternoon, everyone.
buenas tardes, chiquita
beaYOO-ti-full!
Thank you, Your Majesty.
*curtsies*
Where did you come up with that bit of nonsense?
Water
1. 79% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, and it likely applies to half of the world population.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a U-Washington study.
5. Lack of water is the #1 trigger for daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
9. Are you drinking the amount of water you should every day?
*****
Coke
*****
1. In many states in the USA, the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let “the real thing” sit for one hour, and then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from the vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the coke for delicious brown gravy.
8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FYI
*****
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its Ph is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about four days.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years.
4. Vendors at state fairs add coke to their onions and green peppers. It doesn’t affect the taste, but it creates the wonderful aromas you smell.
NOW. Would you rather have a glass of water or a Coca-Cola?
I'd rather have a glass of wine.
But that's very interesting information. Maybe I'll buy a 2-liter of Coke (would generic work? diet?) to finish cleaning the garage floor. We'll get ants if it has sugar in it!
I'm drinking a nice cold glass of water right now! Good stuff.
Thanks for the tip about the toilet.
"Where did you come up with that bit of nonsense?"
I dunno...musta been sumpthin' I read...summ'ers...
Get original Coca-Cola, spread it out, let it sit, scrub, then clean water rinse. Without rinsing, you will get ants.
