LIGHTSIDE
Wives will outsmart you every time. I told my wife “50 years ago we had a cheap suite, no car, a black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23 year old gal.  Now I have a million dollar home, a $80,000.00 car, plasma screen TV, but I am sleeping with a 65 year old woman”.

My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a 23 year old hot gal and she would make sure that I once again would be living in a cheap suite, no car, sleep on a sofa bed, and watch the news on a 10 inch black and white TV.

CLEANING GREEN

Chemical-based cleaners are harmful for the environment.

For most surfaces vegetable-based all-purpose soap does the Job.  Use vinegar and water for a natural way to clean most surfaces.  Mix one part vinegar, 2 parts water for a cleaner that can be used for hardwood and regular floors. Great for washing windows too. Just put in a spray bottle, which makes it easier when cleaning. Always check a small area of flooring to make sure there is no chance of damage.

If scouring is required, baking soda and washing soda are great.

In my archives at http://www.cbestbuys, you can find a full page of cleaning tips, which covers most cleaning problems you may have. 

WATER
A variety of emergency situations, from floods to earthquakes to toxic spills, could contaminate the local water supply and leave you without access to water. As a result, it’s important to know how to safely store and treat water of uncertain purity during an emergency.

The best way to treat water is often a combination of methods, as boiling and disinfection will kill most microorganisms but only distillation will remove other contaminants.  Boiling is the safest method of treating water. Keep water at a boil for 10 minutes for maximum effectiveness.

Disinfection with regular household liquid bleach can also kill microorganisms. Use only liquid bleach that contains 5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient. DO NOT USE scented bleaches, colour-safe bleaches or bleaches with added cleaners.

Add one to two drops of bleach per litre of clear water. Stir and let stand for 30 minutes. If the water does not have a slight bleach odour, repeat the dosage and let stand another 15 minutes.
Distillation involves boiling water and then collecting the vapour that condenses back to water.

RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the
risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk
drivers cause many fatal road accidents.

It should be known that like any other drug, addiction is a
potential hazard.  Excess of alcohol will affect organs such as the brain, heart, and liver.

ICED COFFEE

There are just as many ways of making coffee, as there are different brands. Here are some general rules.

For good results measure water and coffee.

2 tablespoons coffee to each 1 cup

Make coffee just before serving

Make coffee double strength and pour the hot coffee over ice in a tall glass.  As the ice melts, it will dilute the coffee. Top the glass with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Why Settlement Loans Aren’t Really Loans

Sunday, July 25, 2010 10:57
Posted in category Business & Finance

When the term settlement loan is thrown around people think of a traditional loan. In reality a settlement loan is not a loan at all. A traditional financial institution or lending company would not issue a loan based on the merit of a pending lawsuit. This is due to the fact that if you lose the case you most likely could not pay back the amount lent to you. This is due to the structure of traditional financial institutions and how to generate revenue.

In fact, a settlement loan is really a settlement loan provider buying interest into your pending case. They are taking the risk that if you win the case they will give little now and gain big later. Settlement loan providers do not require clients to pay back loans if they lose their pending lawsuit. This simple fact alone doesn’t quality settlement loans as an actual loan.

This however is the main reason large interest amounts are attached to settlement loans. This allows the settlement loan provider to be able to handle a certain amount of losses per year and still make a profit. Settlement loan providers will also only accept a case that has good merit and a good chance of winning in the long run. You’ll find that more people are denied settlement loans than are accepted.

Raw Food: Drinking Water at Meals

Thursday, July 22, 2010 10:57
Posted in category Food & Drink

Why you should only take sips of water during mealtime? Large glasses of water impedes the digestive process by diluting the gatric juices.

Taking several sips of water at a mealtime as compared to drinking a couple of large glasses per meal seems to be a personal preference unless there is a medical reason or a weight loss is desired. Several sources say that at the present time there is no proof at all that water aids in the digestion process. There is enough water in the fruits and vegetables to supply this.

But what I noticed is that an excessive amount of water consumed at a meal dilutes stomach acid concentration. This is very necessary for food breakdown of protein and other nutrients. I also noticed that the body couldn’t handle large amounts of water at one time because most water at a meal usually has ice in it. If water is drunk lukewarm or at room temperature, it will not interfere Read the rest of this entry »
