THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - ANYTIME YOU THINK YOU ARE "BIG STUFF"
Anytime you think you are "big stuff", take a look at this picture.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO THESE THINGS WITH ALUMINUM FOIL?
- Fold foil in quarters, then cut with a scissors to sharpen the scissors blades.
- Double wrap meat, vegetables and seasonings in a foil pouch, cook on the grill for 20 to 30 minutes for a simple and delicious BBQ dinner. Or place directly on campfire coals.
- Heat cotton swatches within a foil envelope to create a char cloth. Foil is a great work surface for starting a fire with petroleum jelly and cotton.
- Keep matches and tinder dry by wrapping them tightly in foil.
- Don’t have a pot to boil water? Line a hole in the ground with foil and fill with water. Use tongs to pull rocks from a campfire and transfer them into the water. The water will soon boil.
- A layer of foil beneath a sleeping bag prevents moisture from seeping in while you are sleeping.
- In the woods, strips of foil hung at eye level make great trail markers, especially at night when they catch flashlight beams.
- Use the reflectiveness as a mirror, to signal for help.
- Fold a small piece of foil several times into a small square and insert it into the space between a battery and the loose spring to hold the battery in place and complete the circuit.
- Wrap a piece of plywood in foil. Place it behind your radiator to reflect heat into the middle of the room.
- Crumple foil into a ball to rub rust spots off surfaces such as shower curtain rods and car bumpers. Also works for cleaning pots and pans.
- After grilling, use a ball of foil to scrub the burned food bits off the grill.
- Clean silverware in a shallow pan lined with foil. Add two or three tablespoons of baking soda and boiling water, then drop in tarnished silverware.
- Strips of foil hung from string to twist and flash in the wind and sun can scare off birds and protect garden crops.
- Secure a loose peel-and-stick vinyl tile with a sheet of foil and a clothes iron. Cover the tile with foil to protect the finish, then iron it to soften and reactivate the adhesive.
- A sheet of foil lining the bottom can keep baking tins looking new and, in a pinch, substitute for a cookie sheet.
- Wrap doorknobs in foil to catch splatters when painting.
- Create a custom-shaped cake pan (cartoon character, name, heart, etc.) by reshaping the inside of a regular cake pan with foil.
- Wrap the heating element of an oven or toaster oven to protect it during a thorough cleaning.
- Cut ironing time in half by placing a sheet of foil under the ironing board cover. The reflected heat from the foil lets you iron both sides of a garment at once.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHEN TO THROW OUT OR KEEP CERTAIN PAPERWORK?
You Don't Need to Hang onto Your Paperwork Forever.
Here's When It's Safe to Toss It.
From TIPHERO website

Step
inside most homes and you’ll see a common sight: stacks of papers. Invading
spaces everywhere are cards, bills, junk mail, schoolwork, receipts— we could
go on and on. Even if you’ve signed up for paperless correspondence,
paper still creates its own clutter
storm in your house.
Instead
of throwing it away, some of us decide to “save it for later” which turns into
an indefinite length of stay. More of us either let it collect where it sits or
relocate one pile only to start a new one in its place. When does it end?
Your
wish is to declutter and organize, but then you have to
decide what to do with all of it. It’s annoying. It’s overwhelming. And it’s no
fun. But you know you need to get
a handle on it, so that’s why we’re sharing some paper slaying ideas
with you today.
The
first thing you need to do is gather your crowd of documents together and sort
through them. Next, you can look forward to saying goodbye to some and holding
on to others.
1.
What to Keep Forever
The obvious ones are things like legal
documents, medical records, and payments to government agencies. Also in this
group are insurance-related papers, wills, marriage, birth, death, and adoption
paperwork.
2. What to Keep for 5-7 Years (or Slightly Beyond)
IRS paperwork and other documents
related to running a business if you own one should be kept for years.
Financial documents related to retirement, loans, or major purchases should
also be retained. After someone passes away, keep for two years.
3. What to Keep for 1 to 3 Years
Your paystubs can be kept on file for a
year or until after you’ve filed your taxes, but some legal pros recommend
holding them up to four years or so in case you have a legal disagreement with
your employer.
Receipts for major auto or home repairs
may also be retained for at least a year or much longer than 1 to 3 years
should you anticipate a need for supporting documents with future transactions.
4. What to Keep for 10 to 60 Days
If you still get them in paper form,
bank and credit card statements can be disposed of once you’ve checked them,
unless you need them for business or tax reasons. The same goes for ATM
receipts and utility bills after they’ve been reconciled against your accounts.
5. What to Toss Immediately
Hello, junk mail.
6. Miscellaneous
Things like owner’s manuals, magazines, or shipping slips should be tossed at
your own discretion or until you no longer need them. Do you really need the
washing machine manual 8 years after you bought it? Warranties, greeting cards,
or your kids’ first grade kindergarten assignments should be viewed with either
a business or sentimental eye, but consider where exactly you’d like to store
these things.
When
we say keep, it doesn’t necessarily mean in a paper format. You can certainly
set up a filing system to keep hard copies of documents, but your other option
is to scan these items to preserve as digital files. There’s also software
available that takes the place of having a metal filing cabinet in your home.
Check it out and don’t be afraid to shred, scan, trash, or file your stacks
away!
Are
you guilty of having a mild paper hoarding issue? What’s your system for
addressing paper piles? How old is your oldest set of “irrelevant” documents?

ARTICLE - "ZINC DEFICIENCY & CANCER GROWTH: WHAT'S YOUR RISK?"
Zinc Deficiency and Cancer Growth: What's Your Risk?
By Dr. David Jockers, DC, MS, CSCS
Below is a summary of the article. To read the article in it's entirety, click HERE or copy and paste the below link in your browser.
https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/zinc-deficiency-cancer/?gl=5a0a0736595c975e75460b07&utm_campaign=&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=zinc-deficiency-cancer
- Zinc is a mineral required by the body to support immune function and assist in various cellular activities. Unfortunately, an estimated 25% of the world’s population (about 2 billion people) has a zinc deficiency.
- Experts believe the primary reason for zinc deficiency is an inadequate diet. A diet high in sugar and carbohydrates prevents the body from properly absorbing zinc. Phytic acids found in legumes and grains can block zinc absorption when consumed in high amounts.
- Zinc deficiency is also common in people that lack the ability to absorb the mineral, such as those with leaky gut syndrome. Regularly taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also adversely affect zinc levels.
- Some of the most common symptoms which may be a sign of zinc deficiency include: Lowered Immunity, Poor Memory, Breast and Prostate Cancer, Infertility, Loss of Libido, Frequent Colds or Flus, Abnormal Hair Loss, Slow Thinking Process, Spots on Fingernails, Low Energy, Insomnia, Loss of Taste or Smell, Sinus Problems and Allergies, Skin Rashes / Eczema, and Loss of Appetite.
- Zinc deficiency can promote a variety of human cancers including esophageal as well as cancers related to the digestive tract, head, and neck. Zinc supplementation has been shown to reduce the number of tumors and carcinogenic severity.
- Natural sources of zinc include: oysters, eggs, whole grains, nuts, seeds, shellfish, and meat. Shellfish may accumulate toxins, so better choices are pastured (grass fed) beef and organ meat as well as locally produced eggs from 100% pasture raised animals. Plant based sources of zinc are found largely in sprouted pumpkin, hemp, sunflower, and chia seeds.
- Adults are generally recommended to take 8-11 milligrams of zinc daily. However, functional health experts and most progressive nutritionists will advise that 30-40 mg/daily is preferred. Exceeding 100 mg/day can create adverse health reactions and actually increase cancer risk.
