Thanks for the brekkie Sylvs. See you all had a good natter during the wee small hours. So sorry for that little one.

I have a horseshoe shaped pillow for my knees Sylvs. I had surgery on it a few years ago followed by a DVT. It started getting painful again but the pillow really helps.


Off to my voluntary job. See you later. ~~~~~~~~

Good morning all - lovely breakfast Sylvs,

Was sent this "interesting" info, thought that I would share it ...

WATER

#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism to 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

COKE

#1. In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.

#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:
Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminium foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals:
Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

#6. To loosen a rusted bolt:
Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

#7. To bake a moist ham:
Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminium foil, and bake.
Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

#8. To remove grease from clothes:
Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains It will also clean road haze from your windshield.


FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!


Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?
or Coke?

Well, thank goodness I have never liked Coke !!!

Might try some of those cleaning tips though.

May be I am a cynic, but my first thought was.. who compiled the info ?

Notice it says "Coca-cola not just any 'Cola' .

Have always know that we should drink a certain amount of water, but it nice to know how it helps us.

My word ,you lot cant half rabbit on,took me ages to catch up and Im no slowcoach at reading..
Phew,got to the end at last..

Never drink Coca Cola,dont like fizzy stuff and its too sweet for me,but I do drink lots and lots of water ....and tea..

Me too fans...tea in the morning and water for the rest of the day except for another tea in the evening


We used to clean our conkers with cola and money too...came up all shiny

Morning All

Super brekkie again Sylvia

Just finished watering the garden - horseradish looking good - and leeks - cut done asparagus ferns 3 weeks ago - now have it all sprouting again -

Have load of avocados - pomegranates ( at a loss as to what do with them they are called granadas - hence Granada - so masses everywhere - cannot give them away )

Mandarins - figs - few guavas and kakis - cut back trees last year - and the whole valley is awash with oranges and grapes - not a good year for olives - not picking mine this year

Peeling onions and shallots for pickling this afternoon

Any recipe tips - like mine very crunchy -my sister gave me packets of pickling spices and I managed to buy 6 litres of malt vinegar several months ago and saved it

Normally only wine vinegar here - bought 2 litres from bodega to mix in - but is is strong - very strong
