Stretching is fundamental to good health. It lengthens muscles, improves flexibility and joint range of motion, gets blood flowing, and prepares joints for work. Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body’s soft tissue to prevent or reduce pain and stress.

You could find yourself pondering long-range plans, or trips to faraway places. A feeling of longing may accompany these thoughts, as well as a sense that the future is filled with promise. You may have the vision of your future firmly in mind with no doubt of your reaching it, but you could feel longing because you may not be sure what steps to take to get there. Such a desire is what will keep you moving toward your dreams, like a carrot dangling in front of a horse. These are three important elements of making your dreams reality, and you are certainly on the right track with feelings such as these. By making long-range plans, and infusing them with your desire and hope, you have all the pieces of the puzzle in your hands.

It’s finally cold here in New York. Most heating systems aren’t yet turned on, so we’ve been traipsing around in sweaters and hats. Today, after a wind gust almost picked her up and blew her down the street, my daughter laughed and screamed, “I’m freezing!”
Season change is fun. It’s also itchy. I have battled dry skin and eczema for years, especially on my hands. I used steroid creams to treat them before I knew better, but gave them up just before I got pregnant. Phew. I even gave up peanuts while pregnant because some research (largely British) said it would reduce the likelihood that my baby

VICKS VAPOR RUB INFORMATION FOR YOU.
READ IT ALL
. .
A believer in Vicks Vaporub ! Don’t laugh, it works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren’t sure why.
.
To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

Pass The Butter, Please .
………..
This is interesting . .
..
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
