A good tip that I got from a friend who got the tip from a neighborhood watch coordinator.
“When someone is trying to get into your house, or if you hear a noise outside your house, “keep your car keys next to your bed on the night stand and just press the panic alarm on your car. It will go off from almost anywhere from inside your house and it will keep honking until your battery runs down, or until you reset it with the button on the key chain.”
A lot of burglars will cut your telephone line before breaking in so this is a real good idea.
Could save your life.
Menstrual cramps may be accompanied by backache, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches. Sometimes, distress is severe enough to leave women debilitated for the first one to three days of their periods.
To relieve menstrual cramps:
• Drink chamomile or mint tea.
• Whenever possible, lie on your back, supporting your knees with a pillow.
• Hold a heating pad or hot-water bottle on your abdomen.
• Gently massage your abdomen.
• Do mild exercises like stretching, walking, or biking.
• Take aspirin, ibuprofen, or other over-the-counter medication formulated
for relief of menstrual discomfort.
If these measures don’t alleviate pain – or a heavy schedule prevents you from crawling into bed with a hot-water bottle for three days a month – see your doctor. He or she may prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines or other medication to help menstrual pain.

Most people consider wild strawberry as the best tasting wild berry. A perennial plant, strawberry grows approximately three to six inches high with delicate, white flowers, which usually blossom between the warm months of April and July. As strawberries have experienced such intense breeding and cultivation over the years, planting and harvesting strawberries have become a gardener’s art.
Rich in vitamin C, vitamin B-complex, calcium, phosphorus and potassium, the strawberry is an integral player in herbal medicine. The leaves are often boiled and used as an astringent. They may also be used to treat diarrhea, fever, gout, mouth ulcers and gum disease. The boiled roots and leaves can assuage inflammation in the kidneys and bladder as well as relieve heat and pain. In addition, strawberry juice is used as a beauty aid and remedy for sunburns.
