Isn't that pretty?

How to get rid of unwanted guests. 

Yup! They clean up the plates and then I just wash them regularly. Nothing special. I've never worried about it. However, here's a funny story about this issue...When my husband was a small boy, his mom got tired of relatives showing up every Sunday just as the sat down to dinner and not offering to help, pay or reciprocate...so one Sunday after everyone had finished she picked up the plates, walked over to the screened in porch and dealt them out in from of the eagerly waiting dogs. When the plates were polished, she simply picked them up and put them back in the cabinet without a comment. Relatives never returned! :)

Want to take care of a bee sting - thanks to Debby at Just Breathe,

This information may be something to remember, as this season will soon be here again... It might be wise to carry a penny in your pocket while working in the yard.......... BEE STINGS ! A couple of weeks ago, I was stung by both a bee and hornet while working in the garden. My arm swelled up, so I went to the doctor. The clinic gave me cream and an antihistamine. The next day the swelling was getting progressively worse, so I went to my regular doctor. The arm was Infected and needed an antibiotic. The doctor told me - " The next time you get stung, put a penny on the bite for 15 minutes". That night, my niece was stung by two bees. I looked at the bite and it had already started to swell. So, I taped a penny to her arm for 15 minutes The next morning, there was no sign of a bite We decided that she just wasn't allergic to the sting. Soon, I was gardening outside. I got stung again, twice by a hornet on my left hand. I thought, here I go again to the doctor for another antibiotic. I promptly got my money out and taped two pennies to my bites, then sat and sulked for 15 minutes. The penny took the string out of the bite immediately. In the meantime the hornets were attacking, and my friend was stung on the thumb. Again the penny. The next morning I could only see the spot where the hornet had stung me. No redness, no swelling. My friend's sting was the same; couldn't even tell where she had been stung. She got stung again a few days later upon her back---cutting the grass! And the penny worked once again. Wanted to share this marvelous information in case you experience the same problem. We need to keep a stock of pennies on hand. The doctor said that the copper in the penny counteracts the bite.  It definitely works! According to my husband in New York City  you can no longer buy a sugar drink over 16 ounces.  They are going to watch your health for you - per Major Bloomberg.  Now to go along with this - I read in the AARPS magazine that "Higher taxes have discouraged public consumption of whiskey and tobacco.  Now it's sugar's turn. "  The fat tax.  So stay turned it might be coming!  What do you think about a fat tax?     Tick Removal A nurse discovered a safe, easy way to remove ticks where They automatically withdraw themselves when you follow her Simple instructions.  Read this one as it could save you from Some major problems.
