     I just had the joy of taking down wallpaper in
                           my kitchen and replacing it with a nice dark red and off white plaid......and wanted to share the pictures with you!   
                           I think this is going to be the last time I deal with wallpapering.....next time I plan on paying someone to do it for me!   
                                  MaPaKaren
                           sent this to me....some interesting FACTS ON HONEY AND CINNAMON
 It is found that mixture
                           of honey and cinnamon cures most of the diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.
 Scientists of today also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used
                           without any side effects for any kind of diseases. Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right
                           dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients.
 Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its
                           issue dated 17 January, 1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be  cured by honey and cinnamon as researched
                           by western scientists.
 
 HEART DISEASES: Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply
                           on bread, chapatti, or other bread, instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol
                           in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also those who already had an attack, if they do this process daily,
                           are kept miles away from the next attack.
 Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens
                           the heart beat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you
                           age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and
 cinnamon revitalizes the arteries
                           and veins.
 
 BLADDER INFECTIONS: Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon
                           of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
 
 TOOTHACHE: Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply on the aching tooth. This
                           may be applied three times a day until the tooth stops aching.
 
 CHOLESTEROL: Two tablespoons
                           of honey and three teaspoons of  cinnamon powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was
                           found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within  2 hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if
                           taken 3 times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. As per information received in the said  journal, pure honey taken
                           with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
 
 COLDS: Those suffering from common
                           or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process

                           the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the
                           body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

   EVERYTHING'S BETTA WITH
                           BUTTA
 DO YOU KNOW....  The difference between margarine and butter?
 
 Both have the same amount
                           of calories.
 
 Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5
 grams.
 
 Eating margarine
                           can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating
 the same amount of butter according to a recent   Harvard
                           Medical Study.
 
 Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other
 foods. Butter has many nutritional
                           benefits where        margarine has a
 few only because they are added!
 
 Butter
                           tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors
 ofother foods.
 
 Butter has been around for centuries
                           where margarine has been around for
 less than 100 years.
 
 Now for Margarine...
 
 Very high in Trans Fatty Acids...
                           Triple risk of Coronary Heart
 Disease..
 
 Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol)
 
 Lowers
                           HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) .... Increases the risk
 of cancers by up to five fold...
 
 Lowers quality
                           of breast milk ... Decreases immune response...
 
 Decreases insulin response. And here is the most disturbing fact....
 
 THE
                           PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
 
 Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC
 
 This fact alone was enough
                           to have me think about avoiding margarine for
 life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is
 added,
                           changing the molecular structure of the substance).
 
 YOU can try this yourself: purchase a tub of margarine and leave
                           it in
 your garage or shaded area.
 
 Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things: no flies, not
 even
                           those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you
 something) ... it does not rot or smell differently..because
                           it has no
 nutritional value, nothing will grow on it...even those teeny weeny
 microorganisms will not a find a home
                           to grow.
 
 Why? Because it is nearly plastic.
 
 Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
