Quote of the Day!

Don't mind criticism...
If it's untrue...disregard it
If it's unfair...keep from irritation
If it's ignorant...smile
If it's justified...learn from it.

Fun Fact!

Want to know the temperature? Crickets can answer that question for you. I found out about this and thought I'd share it with you. It's interesting and I look forward to trying it out.
Count the chirps of a cricket.
For temperature in degrees...
Fahrenheit: Count the chirps in 14 seconds & add 37.
Celsius: Count the chirps in 25 seconds, divide by 3 & then add  4

I hope you try it and let me know if it worked for you. =)

Quote of the Day!

A person may make mistakes but is not a failure until that person starts blaming someone else.

Folklore Fixes...silly cures!

Cuts: Apply a large red ant so that its jaws grip each side of the wound. Pinch off the ant's body right behind the head. The jaws will keep the edges of the wound clamped together while it heals.

Cuts#2: Spider webs were placed on wounds to help coagulate the blood.

Fever Blisters: Coat the blister with ear wax.

Toothache: Spit into a frog's mouth and ask it to leave with the toothache.

Warts: Dip eye of a dead cat in spunk water and place it on the wart.

Warts#2 (If you have many warts): Bite a wart off, chew it up and swallow it. And then everyday 'spit' on each remaining wart with your saliva.

Pinkeye: Catch and kill a chicken snake. Fry it until some grease collects in the pan. Rub the grease on the sore eye.

Hiccups: Lay a broom on the floor and jump over it three times.
