If you have cut flowers...
that look a bit tired, sometimes a soak in cold water can do wonders. Fill the sink and lay the flowers in it, totally underwater. Cut the ends of the stems on a diagonal, and leave the flowers alone for half an hour or so. Source: 4-02-08 Daytipper.com NL

If you like eggs, your...
plants will love eggshell water. It seems eggshells enrich the water with nutrients and the nutrients and your plants have a mutual love fest. It is an easy concoction to make. Fill a jug with water and everytime you crack an egg, put the shells into the jug.

Just a thought.
A recent study in...

Social security is in the...
news and will stay there until the election is over. I came across an article titled:
A Simple Fix for Social Security
and it is located at:

It is worth your time to read it.
Until next issue,
