Turkey hunting in the South!

I've seen this plant in my yard as long as I can remember.  The only thing I thought it was good for was for the rabbits to munch on.  Who knew there was more to this plant - it's an herb!  It's just a weed in my flower bed that I pull up and throw away but I'll certainly look at it differently now.  Check out the information on Plantain!

I love to knit, crochet and do other crafts.  I don't usually have a problem reading directions and creating the item.  Sometimes I can just look at it and figure it out.  However, I've come across a new technique that has me stumped!  It's called "Sashay".  It sounds and looks simple but I just can't grasp the concept.  Anyone ever worked with this material?  I've read and re-read the instructions.  I've watched instructional videos.  Still it just doesn't make sense to me. HELP!

Why You Feel Tired all the time - Thyroid Problems

 

ONE TEST, MANY INTERPRETATIONS...Your thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating just about everything, including your heart rate, metabolism, muscles and mood. If your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism), it’s not making enough thyroid hormone, so your body starts pumping out extra thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which makes your TSH levels high. Insufficient amounts of thyroid hormone can cause symptoms like weight gain, fatigue, chills, and dry skin, hair and nails. On the other hand, when your thyroid is making too much thyroid hormone, you’ve got an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), which causes weight loss, insomnia and anxiety.

10 Tips to Keep Your Clothes Dryer Running Efficiently with Less Energy

Clothes dryers need to intake air from the inside of your home and exhaust heat and moisture to the outside in order to dry clothes.  Dirty lint trays and clogged dryer vents cost consumers millions each year.  Statistics state that there are over 15,000 dryer fires each year causing 15 deaths and $99 million in property damage.  Failure to clean is cited as the main cause of fires.  Add to these losses the energy costs of running the dryer over and over for the same load.  A dirty dryer vent can add $10-$25 to your energy bill each month.  By following a few simple steps, you can make your dryer safer and more efficient saving you time and money.

5 New Uses for Milk!

As a child our mother always told us to drink our milk. As adults the doctors are always telling us we need more calcium. Milk’s not only good for you but here are 5 uses for milk that you might not have thought of.

1. Stain Pretreater
No use crying over spilled…wine. If you dribble some red on a shirt or dress, submerge the soiled part in whole milk, squeeze out the excess immediately, then launder as usual. (If the item is dry-clean only, leave it for the pros.)

2. Bath Soak
Add 1 cup of milk to a tub of warm water before you slip in to zone out. The lactic acid in milk softens skin –so it really does a body good!

3. Shoe Shine
Moisten a cloth with milk and buff dull patent leather back to gleaming glory – minus harsh polish fumes.

4. Burn Soother
Curling-iron mishap? Cover minor burns with a washcloth soaked in whole milk. The fat in the milk calms inflammation and helps skin heal.

5. Plant Rescuer
Mix 1 part milk with 9 parts water and spray on plants dotted with powdery mildew. Repeat weekly to keep leaves fungus-free.
