From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 05/24/07 - "3% peroxide":
Do you know what "Oxy Clean"Is?
3% peroxide
This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana:
I would like
to tell you of the benefits of that plain little old bottle of 3% peroxide you
can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical
field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they
would lose thousands of dollars.
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold
in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe)
No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes.
Use it instead of mouthwash. (Small print says mouth wash and gargle right on
the bottle)
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of "Peroxide" to keep them free of
germs.
3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh
smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the
counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill
salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years - until I sprayed a 50/50 mixture of
peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts
in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day. My husband has seen
gangrene that would not heal with any medicine, but was healed by soaking in
peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in
every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or
most other disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever
you have a cold, or plugged sinuses. It will bubble and help to kill the
bacteria. Hold for a few minutes then blow your nose into a tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put
a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several
times a day.
The
pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your hair, spray the 50/50
solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through.
You
will not have the peroxide burnt blonde hair like the hair dye packages, but
more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown, faded,
or dirty blonde. It also lightens gradually so it's not a drastic change.
11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or
other skin infections.
12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in
your laundry to whiten them.
If
there is blood on clothing, pour directly on the soiled spot.
Let it sit for a minute, then
rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors with, and there is no smearing which is
why I love it so much for this.
I could go on and on.
It is a little brown bottle no
home should be without!
With
prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money
in such a simple, healthy manner.
WOWZERS!!!
I knew about some of these, but by no means all! Thanks, Shari!

Carolyn Deuell O'Rourke":
Found her!! I remembered her brothers'
names, and finally after many calls found her still in VA Beach but probably
moving to NC in a bit.... thanks for giving me incentive to look and look some
more!!
Stacy
SUPER-DE-DUPER!!!
Thanks for letting us know, Stacy!
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 05/25/07 - "Video":
From Joe Madagan ('57) of FL to
Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA
- 05/25/07 - "Fort
Monroe,
VA":
Hi, Dave:
You did a terrific job of capturing the "Then" and "Now" scenes at Fort
Monroe, and your keen eye made the tour very interesting over
Our Old Stomping Grounds.
For those interested in military history, you can hardly find a more significant
site to visit than Fort Monroe.
BRAC will bring an end to this Fort, and I am sure the developers have their eye
on this property with such a great view of Hampton Roads.
TYPHOON Regards,
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
This is unbearably sad, Major.
From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA
to
Joe Madagan ('57) of FL
- 05/25/07 - "Fort
Monroe,
VA":
Joe,
Thanks for the kudos.
I cannot wait to see what is done about 200 years of unexploded ordnance. It will cost millions to locate and dispose of it, and even then, you can never be sure that you got it all. In 20 years we may read about some child who was killed while innocently digging in his back yard or a homeowner losing a leg while sinking a post hole for a fence.
Dave
And this is unbearably scary, Captain.
From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 05/25/07 - "A MUST PASS ON FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS IT!":
YOWZERS!!! Thanks, Shari!

A: Keep it in the cow.
Q: What causes the tides in

abdominal cavity. The brainium contains the brain; the borax contains the heart
and lungs, and the abdominal cavity contains the five bowels, A, E, I, O, and U.
Q: What is the fibula?
A: A small lie.
Q: What does "varicose"
mean? (I do love this one.)
A: Nearby.
Q: Give the meaning of the
term "Caesarean Section"
A: The Caesarean Section is a district in
Rome.
Q: What does the word
"benign" mean?'
A: Benign is what you will be after you be eight.
GIGGLES!!!
Thanks, Judy!
From Stacy Dorn ('64) of VA -
05/25/07:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT - Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between
you. A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her. When you have to walk
that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life
will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you,
intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you, or come in and
carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters,
sisters-in-law, mothers, grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins and extended
family all bless our life.
When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible
joys or sorrows that lay ahead, nor did we know how much we would need each
other. Every day, we need each other still.
Pass this on to all the women who help make your life meaningful. I just did.
There are more than 20 angels in this world; 10 are peacefully sleeping on
clouds, nine are playing, and one is reading her email at this moment!
Send this message to 10 of your friends, including me.
If
you get 5 replies, someone you love will surprise you.
Thanks so much, Stacy!
Your timing was perfect, and I really appreciate it!
From
Jay Styles ('68) of VA - 05/26/07:
When you mentioned the heat and humidity there I just had to drop you a line. I think Donna is trying to send me to the other side. Last year she got me on a mountain bike for a twenty mile trail ride, something I have not done since I was around 14. We are repeating that this October. Saturday, some of our friends are hiking the Appalachian Trail 20-30 miles at a time on weekends. Donna thought we should join them, so Saturday morning we left Big Meadows Lodge and hiked south to Lewis Mountain. The last time I had a backpack on was in 1973. When we left, it was 46 degrees and absolutely no humidity, and clear as the proverbial bell. Lots of wildlife, both animal and human on the trail. By the time we finished, it was up to 60 degrees and I discovered that I do not like the downward sloping trails, they killed my knees. We took along our 11 year-old Siberian Husky, she goes everywhere with us, and about 3/4 mile from our destination, she stopped, turned left and dropped her head, I figured she found a snake, but about 150 feet away, stood a black bear that weighed about 400 lbs. or so, standing on a log, looking at us. We looked at each other for several minutes then continued on, with the bear still on his log. My camera, phone, and GPS were still in my vehicle where I had left them. Would have been a great picture.
Well, I have to go get ready to meet the
public, and if the rest of this holiday weekend is anything like yesterday,
we're in for lots of trouble. Take care and have a safe Memorial Day
Weekend, and don't stop and feed the bears!
YOWZERONI-RINI-ROONI, Sweetie! You certainly know how to have "fun", doncha?!?
Thanks for sharing that with us, Jay!
I think I'll just stay inside with my trusty computer.....
