41.  To keep FRESH FLOWERS longer Add a little Clorox, or 2 Bayer aspirin, Or just use 7-up instead of water.

42.  When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness?  Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week?  Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Each day has a different color twist tie.  They are:
     Monday = Blue
     Tuesday = Green,
     Thursday = Red
      Friday = White and
     Saturday = Yellow
     So if today was Thursday, you would want a red twist tie; not white which is Friday's (almost a week old)! 
 The colors go alphabetically by color Blue - Green - Red - White - Yellow, Monday through Saturday. 
Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting.  I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors.  You learn something new every day!  Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.

All those things are good to know. It's amazing how many alternative ways of healing and treatments there are, other than running to the pharmacy. I learned this one from my own experience.

When I was a child, my favorite pastime was playing with the frogs and toads at a duck pond on our property. My hands were covered with warts. I tried various creams, both prescribed by the dermatologist and over the counter. Nothing would get rid of them, not even compound W. My mother told me to take a new penny, rub it all over the warts, close my eyes, turn around three times and throw the penny away. I thought she was nuts, but at this point I was willing to try anything. I did what she told me. About a week later, she asked me how the warts were. I totally forgot about it! I looked at my hands and noticed the warts were gone! They never returned and left no scars. I use that method even now to rid any external wounds and rashes. It works every time. I am convinced there is something in copper that heals.
As God as my witness, I cannot tell a lie.  ;)

There certainly is nothing wrong with copper since it is a native metal found in rock cracks typically near water sources.  Copper has been a common material for water pipes in houses until plastic came along.  When I was pursuing a career in art and heavy in jewelry making, I would make many pendents and rings using copper.  Copper seems to have a special quality that isn't fully understood.
