I heard Catalyn vampyrs required a silver stake, specifically a silver sword. Most people who have "issues" with silver have some undead within them... Cannot disclose source, but some cannot abide collodial silver or even the "silver-filtered" vodkas to tnis day.

And yea, a hard man IS good to find. ;)

It is pretty sad that someone should feel grateful that people still select superior products at higher manufacturing costs. That is, actually, the only reason I'd choose the American made product and pay more.

In terms of the banking system/federal reserve, yeah it is. I'd love to hear your reasoning for how we all aren't.

Never break more than one law at a time. For example, if you are transporting an illegal substance, be sure your brake lights work.

There are as many ways to burn as there are burners, all of them are doing it wrong save the one you chose.

Yep! Or be sure to change your burned out head light before you leave for Burning Man...or at least shut the door after you get out of the car...I got VERY lucky with that lesson.

True story...years ago my husband Brown Rice, I and Gentleman Jack were cruising down the Hwy between Eagleville and Gerlach. The sun was setting and Brown Rice remembered that he needed to change one of the head lights. Being that we were almost to the end of our long drive to the playa, Gentleman Jack had been amusing us (mostly me) for quite awhile and I was not clear of mind. A California trooper stops to help and notices our Gentleman in the front seat...as my door was wide-open. stupid, stupid, stupid. :roll: We could have ended up spending the week in jail instead of at BM; but the trooper was super duper...asked my husband if he'd been drinking it (Rice said no...which was mostly true); and then the trooper said...keep that out of the front seat. Unbelievable random act of kindness. The trooper must have been a BM fan.

Never use aluminum foil in a microwave oven. However, if you put a fluorescent bulb in it, start it for 30 seconds, the bulb will magically light up!

Bananas are always easier to peel from the bottom not the part that attaches it to the tree, a trick I learned by watching my simian friends at the zoo.
