    The FDA May Change HFCS Name to Corn Sugar

    I agree with FarmerChick.Moderation is the way.If you ate home grown lettuce until it ran out your ears,you would probably experience some health problems. Everyone treats HFCS as if it's some kind of poison,like cigarettes or drugs.I don't see any problems with it if you don't overdo it...

    Taxes!!

    You are right on Wifezilla.I could never understand why someone wants to give the federal government a tax-free loan.People need to wake up. I can surely handle money in a better way than the goverment.If I want to waste that money,I can certainly do it myself and probably get a little fun or...

    Retirement?

    I can't ever see myself retiring unless I sell everything I own,take the money I get from the sale,and have sort of a makeshift retirement of some kind.My wife and I own 80 acres and a fine 1450 square foot brick home that I built myself.We owe no one except God,who we can't pay.Jesus paid that...

    Cellphones

    IMHO,cellphones are one of the greatest inventions ever.I have one myself;however,I do not text,play games,take photographs,or play with the thing constantly.I have the thing for business. It irks me to see grown people play with the stupid things like children.Everywhere you go people are...

    101 uses for holey-heeled socks?

    I split them open with scissors to make grease rags when changing oil in my vehicles. As a vinyl siding installer,I use them to clean the siding as I install the siding. Wrap them around the outside faucets to protect from freezing. Put them in nesting boxes for chickens. Andy J

    Is drinking water bad for you?

    She is correct in saying that water is a solvent.There is no other liquid that will dissolve more substances than water. As far as water breaking down a person's body,try doing without it and see how far you go.She may not have drank pure water but she was getting her water from the juices she...

    Timers

    I've read about this before.I hadn't thought about timers on a freezer.I have considered putting one on my electric water heater.From what I've read,it isn't really worthwhile;but $20 a month adds up pretty quick in my book.I just may give it a try. Andy J
