A Tear In The Ocean



The Ant Philosophy






DID YOU KNOW THAT…??

1. Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost
immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional
"pain relievers."

2. Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for
burns?

3. Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled
with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong
Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

4. Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish
in cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it
as a massage oil, for instant relief of aching muscles.

5. Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and
take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

6. Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two
tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms.
Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost
instantly -- even though the product has never been advertised for this
use.

7. Eliminate puffiness under your eyes. All you need is a dab of
preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The
hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling
instantly.

8. Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a dab of
honey and place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the
skin, sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

9. Listerine therapy for toenail fungus... Get rid of unsightly toenail
fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful
antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.

10. Easy eyeglass protection.. . To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from
loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to
the threads of the screws before tightening them.

11. Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust removers.
Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust
stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

12. Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees,
wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find
the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground
instantly.

13. Smart splinter remover. Just pour a drop of Elmers Glue all over
the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The
splinter sticks to the dried glue.

14. Hunt's tomato paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's tomato
paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and
brings the boil to a head.

15. Balm for broken blisters... To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a
few drops of Listerine... a powerful antiseptic.

16. Heinz vinegar to heal bruises... Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar
and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness
and speeds up the healing process.

17. Kills fleas instantly. Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick. Add
a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse
well to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.

18. Rainy day cure for dog odor... Next time your dog comes in from the
rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet,
instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.

19. Eliminate ear mites.... All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn
oil in your cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball.
Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the
mites, and accelerates healing.

20. Vaseline cure for hair balls..... To prevent troublesome hair balls,
apply a dollop of Vaseline petroleum jelly to your cat's nose. The cat
will lick off the jelly, lubricating any hair in its stomach so it can
pass easily through the digestive system.

21. Quaker Oats for fast pain relief.... It's not for breakfast anymore!
Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the
microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your
hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.

Thoughts on the Nature of Love



If music be the food of love, play on.- Shakespeare




One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.- Rita Mae Brown




Never judge someone by who they are in love with; judge them by their friends. People fall in love with the most appalling people. Take a cool, appraising glance at their pals.- Cynthia Heimel




Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be.- Robert Browning




Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.- Jules Renard




Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question.- Albert Camus (1913-1960)




At the touch of Love every one becomes a poet.- Plato




Love may not make the world go round, but I must admit that it makes the ride worthwhile.- Sean Connery




Love doesn't grow on trees like apples in Eden - it's something you have to make. And you must use your imagination too.- Joyce Cary




Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it.- Jerome K. Jerome




To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.- Oscar Wilde




One advantage of marriage is that when you fall out of love with him, or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until maybe you fall in love again.- Judith Viorst
