Daylight Saving
Finally the US catches up with the rest of
the world. In the US, 2am Sunday morning, November 1. Remember to
"fall back." Also, replace your smoke and fire detector batteries.
Keeping Pumpkins Fresh
It is that
time of year again and we all know pumpkins can
turn mushy after a few days.
Here are a few hacks to keep it fresh longer. After your pumpkin has been carved, rinse it out with water to get rid of excess strings and gunk. Take a large bucket or tub and fill it with a few gallons of water.
Stir in three teaspoons of bleach, dunk in the pumpkin. Be sure to hold it down as it will try to float. Let it sit in the solution for two minutes, remove and let dry.
Spray the whole thing, inside and out with WD40 to keep it fresh and shiny.
If you want to spend a bit more, you can now buy a product, Pumpkin Fresh to spray the whole thing. Of course, you need to apply daily.
Vaseline or any oil you might have in your kitchen applied to the inside and cut edges will keep it fresh, but are all a bit messy.

Helpful Happiness Hack
At the end of the day just before
you go to bed, write down something good that happened to you, or
something that made you happy, or made you smile that day. Put the
note where you will find it in the morning as you are getting ready.
It also helps if you look in the mirror and smile when you read the
note in the morning.
Do this for seven days and you will be at least 20% happier - and it will last for another week, even if you stop doing it.
If you want to stay happy, date the notes and save them. You will be amazed when you go back and look at them, the smallest things keep you happiest the longest.

Lasgna vs. Lasagne
North American English speakers use
lasagna. English speakers from outside North America usually use
lasagne. The word comes from Italian, of course. In that language,
lasagna is the singular noun and lasagne is the plural, but this
does not carry over into the words’ treatment in English. Both the
plural and the singular forms are usually treated as mass nouns,
taking singular verbs.
Beer Benefits and Sexual Performance
Moderate beer drinking
decreases risk of heart disease by 31 percent (the same as wine). A
study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of
Nephrology also found that moderate consumption of beer reduces the
risk of developing kidney stones by 41 percent, and is one of the
few plant sources of vitamin B12.
It makes you last longer. The phytoestrogens in beer can help delay premature ejaculation.
Dark brews can help get you in the mood better, because they increase both red blood cells and overall circulation. Dark contains more iron than pale beers.
Beer increases stamina and is good for heart health.
