World Trade Organization

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 22 Mar 08

As the administration of the United States continues to make decisions on our behalf, I can't help but wonder why we are not informed before hand on some of these issues. I recently saw this video entitled "The truth Behind the...

Autism Link

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 12 Mar 08

Recently, although not much has been broadcast in the news, certainly nothing like all the politician and celebrity exposure, a link has been admitted by the US government between autism and vaccines. The latest statistics show 1...

Have you looked at any of your children's text books lately? Having a problem helping them with their homework? Are you wondering what the heck "cluster", "lattice" or "fuzzy" math is? Well, I found a great video on YouTube that...

On a Need To Know Basis

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 3 Mar 08

Apparently, the United States government believes labeling cloned or genetically altered foods is on a "need to know basis" and the FDA has stated "we, the US citizens, do not need to know" Recently, at a Genetically Modified...

Be Careful What You Wish For!

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 13 Feb 08

How ironic, in a country that touts democracy, there are some Americans clamoring for socialized medicine. Over 40 million U.S. citizens have NO health insurance nor can they financially afford the astronomical costs associated...

Got me a New Answering Machine

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 2 Aug 07

I went to Gizmoz the other day after I saw the "answering machine" that some of the other posters had. What a hoot to create. You can 'animate' yourself or choose one. There's several different things you can create for free,...

Congress votes for New Energy Bill

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 22 Jun 07

I, for one, am not impressed with this bill. First, congress voted in a "sweeping new energy bill, mandating all cars and light weight trucks have a 35MPG fuel efficiency by 2020" Second, they shot down any tax credits for those...

Toxic Right to Know Protection Act

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 19 Jun 07

I received an e-mail this morning from a group I belong to called the OMB Watch. Apparently the Environmental Protection Agency has reduced the amount of information they had been collecting on toxic pollution under the Toxic...

Alternative Energy

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 31 May 07

Weeding with Water

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 23 May 07

Some time ago I heard or read about this tip and have used it ever since. If you are into non-toxic weeding solutions this will work for your smaller areas, cracks in the cement, stone borders. Pour boiling water over the weeds...

You Can't or You Won't

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 19 May 07

"You would if you could, but you can't, so you won't." Now there's a phrase that speaks volumes. Either you can't(cannot) OR you won't(will not), the two words are not interchangeable. To me, "can't" surmises an external force...

Lillies of the Valley

mizrae @mizrae (587) • United States 10 May 07

I just clipped a few Lillies of Valley and put them in a small vase. They are my all time favorite fragrant flower. In fact, I use to wear a perfume (I can pronounce it and it begins with an M, but I can't spell it) that was so...
