Test it With Your Thumb

Love nice fresh fish -- especially when it is on sale for a good price?


We all do, but be careful because in some super markets you could  wind up with a nice looking piece of fish that you find out is rotten when you get it home.

Of course you can always take it back but why not check it out first with a simple test?  Take you thumb and push a section of the fish down with a firm pressure.

If the side of the fish does not bounce back to its original shape quickly forget it; it's usually rotten.

Take the time to look in another store for your salmon ( or other fish) feast. It will pay off in the end

Make A Switch

Try this when packing for your next trip; it could save you a lot of frustration.

Before closing those suitcases make a switch of one set of clothing with your husband -- or other person you are going to be traveling with.

That if one of your suitcases should get lost  or misplaced you still will not get caught short of clothing while waiting for your lost suitcase to be located and returned.

Could make your trip a little more enjoyable.

Watch Those Yoga Poses

Oh, Oh, better watch how long you hold that yoga pose! 

The practice of yoga has washed over North America like a huge Tsunami -- and it seems, like the literal tsunami, if you are not careful it can be destructive according to this evening's CTV news in Vancoauver. BC

It seems that at least some yoga poses if not done properly or held for too long can actually harm your body rather than help it.

For more information contact CTV news on channel 9.

The Key To A Successful Response

I saw a very catchy tag line on an advertisement  or Web site somewhere ( I actually forget where exactly) which had a very good reminder for handling any non-emergency or emergency situation.

What it said was:   "Listen. Reflect. Act" --  If we handle the first two properly -- then the success the third will be -- almost -- automatic.

Holes to Strengthen Eyes!

When your eyes get weak of course it is a good idea to buy a good set of glasses to see where you are going -- but there are other alternatives -- in some cases.

An acquaintance of mine recently resorted to glasses because she has trouble seeing where she is going when behind the wheel. A good move, as I admitted, and perhaps necessary in her case.

But  in many cases you can successfully strengthen your eyes with some of the naturopathic remedies, getting treatments from a reflexologist who can sometimes restore good eyesight through massage treatments.  Worth checking out.

Another solution you might want to check into is the special eype glasses you can purchase in some health food stores that have a material with small holes cut into it.

Believe it or not following the techniques or eye exercises recommended by the manufacturers of these special glasses can help to strengthen your eyes and restore lost vehicle.  Worth checking out again.
