Bloomers - Summer Bouquet

Simple video demonstration about preparing a summer bouquet of flowers



What flowers would you choose to create an impressive bouquet?

Most would agree that having flowers delivered is the easiest way to send a bouquet but of course you could try to pick common wildflowers but they are mostly short stemmed and of little use other than to create a posy

On the subject of flowers check out the carpet of flowers as shown on wide open space

Dirty Coffee

The amounts of nasty chemicals in two cups of coffee exceed the quantity of nasty man-made chemicals than in a years' daily consumption of five fruit and vegetables.

So if the coffee does not harm us why are we irrationally concerned about man-made pesticide residues?

Women's Underwear -Get it off your chest

There are now so many pretty bras available for full-busted women that it surprises me when a someone who is only a 34DD complains that she can't find anything.

It also surprises me when full-busted women complain about price. I knew there was more engineering involved in large cup bras and other women's underwear, but your article helped me understand it better. One thing your article also reveals, although you don't write much about it, is how imprecise the term "full-figured" is.

Those of us who are designing clothes for women with narrow torsos and large cup sizes are using the term "full-busted" or "full-breasted" to distinguish our sub-category of fit. Now that we can find the right bras, it's time to find the right clothing to wear above them - especially in warm weather when tee shirts and summer dresses reveal more of what should be hidden beneath. I write about the challenge that this can be on my blog, BUSTED - In search of the Biggest Bras

Dirty Water - I'll Drink to That

If you're so upset with dirty water then why not buy bottled water or be done with it? Or, better yet, install your own sewage treatment plant in your back yard.

If something is not right, make it right for yourself and don't waste valuable energy trying to make the world conform to your standards. That's being co-dependant. You couldn't possibly have control over what the government does with it's water supply or the municipalities for that matter. Accept it and follow the principles of the Serenity Prayer from AA. You can't change it so accept it and move on. You can buy all the wonderful bottled water you like, install a great filter from your home, or better yet, don't drink water at all and drink only the finest vodka, gin or bourbon every day. That will do two things, give you a pure product to drink and sterilize everything that comes in contact with your body. Alcohol, especially grain alcohol of especially high per centages will kill just about any bug or pathogen out there.

I remember one year when everyone in the family was getting the flu, I had a few whiskeys and kept the pesky flu at bay for a long, long time.

Water isn't the only thing to drink. In fact sometimes it's the worse thing for you. When Humphrey Bogart filmed the Africa Queen, he was one of the few cast members who did not get sick because he didn't drink the water, but drank the booze instead!

Where are gone strong willpower and personal pride?
