FWD: Take The Sting Out

Mosquito Season is Right Around the Corner

It’s about that time folks — so thought I’d send out this reminder!!!!
OK, mosquitoes..prepare to be repelled!!!!!

Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets…Best thing ever used in Louisiana..just wipe on & go..Great for Babies

Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through October . He said it works. He was right.
Hasn’t had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
Every one he has talked into trying it works on them.
Vitamin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)

If you eat bananas, the mosquitoes like you, – something about the banana oil as your body processes it.
Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitoes will be much less interested.

This is going to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick’s Vaporub.

Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off a smell that bugs do not like, so plant some in that garden also to help ward off bugs without using insecticides.

“Tough guy” Marines who spend a great deal of time “camping out” say that the very best mosquito repellant you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about half and half with alcohol.

One of the best natural insect repellants that I’ve discovered is made from the clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works great for mosquitoes and ticks, don’t know about other insects.

When all else fails–get a frog

Fight West Nile..pass this along to all your friends in skeeter land!!!

FWD: Things You Don’t Learn In College

Tips for A Better Life

Don’t just give it the College Try.  Do something better with your life.

“Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.”

 

1.      When you wake up in the morning, always start your day with a prayer.

2.      And then, complete the following statement,  My purpose is to__________ today.

3.      Take a 10 to 30-minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

5.      Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

6.      Drink plenty of water and fresh juices. Eat blueberries, salad, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds, etc.

7.      Make at least three people smile each day.

8.      Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

9.     Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

10.  Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good, so cherish life.

11.  Life is too short to waste time hating anyone, so give the best of your kindness.
