This is day of August 2, 2008
Quote By~Victor E. Frankl
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms
to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.

Its a fact:
America's favorite Crayola crayon color is blue.
Americans on average use about 580 pounds of paper per year per person.
An average home creates more pollution than does the average car.
Egyptian women used to wear perfume cones made of wax that would melt in the heat letting out a nice fragrance.

Tip
When a metal zipper gets stuck a pencil ,run
the graphite along the teeth then move the zip it acts like a lubricant.
remove the label, and that residue remains after soaking in hot soapy water, use charcoal lighter on a paper towel and rub.
To repel fleas feed cat one garlic capsule every other day.
