| Today is  October 5, 2011   WORLD TEACHERS' DAY Teachers deserve a little recognition, and some thanks and appreciation. Aside from parents and direct family, who else has as much influence on the hearts and minds of a child... your child? Teachers not only educate, but they help to shape and frame your child's beliefs, values, and behaviors.   Parents and students are encouraged to offer thanks and recognition today. A simple "thanks", or an ecard is sufficient. BTW: An apple a day may keep the doctor away. But, teachers love to get apples.  If you are a teacher, Happy World Teacher Day! Origin of World Teacher Day: World Teachers' Day was initiated by the Director-General of UNESCO, Federico Mayor, at the International Conference on Education in Geneva in 1993. On October 5, 1966, a UNESCO and the International Labor Organization conference adopted a special recommendation on Teachers. The date of this event was selected as the date to annually honor and recognize teachers around the world.

You need two large cube shaped boxes. Cut off the flaps. This will be the bottom. Paint the boxes white and paint black dots on the sides as in a dice cube. On the "1" side (make sure that's opposite the bottom) cut a hole for your head. In two opposite sides, cut holes for arms. You and your friend can go as a pair of dice (paradise), lucky 7, boxcars, etc. PollyG - PA ************************ Hyacinths for Gifts At this time of year, we get ready to plant some hyacinth bulbs for Christmas. All year, I pick up pretty bowls from thrift shops and jumble sales as I see them. In October, I'll fill them with bulb fibre and plant two or three bulbs in each one, covering the bulb. I then put them in a dark, cool place (a shed or a garage?) until the first shoots appear. Then bring them in and put them in a cool place inside, not dark but not in direct sunlight. Water them sparingly, but be careful not to water the bulb itself as it will rot. By Christmas, they'll be just about to flower. They make really lovely, fragrant gifts. Lucy - Oxford, UK ********************* Preventing Head Lice I had a terrible time with lice when my son first started school, they were so bad I had to cut his hair to a quarter inch long! These three tips worked to prevent them. 1 Wash your children's hair every night. Lice need approximately 24 hours to feed and lay eggs. This washes them out and you never get the eggs. Yes, I know children hate to wash their hair, but they hate lice treatments even more. 2 Use some kind of hair product on your children's hair. I used mousse and hairspray and they both work. Any kind works, I just used the dollar store ones. If you put it into wet hair it won't get stiff. Just make sure that the hair is fully coated. It takes a lot less product than you might think. This works to keep the lice from adhering themselves or their eggs to the hair shaft. 3 In winter, when you get the notices from school that lice have been found, have your children put their outerwear into the dryer for about 10 minutes every day after school. * I did all three of these things and my children never had lice after that first year. My son's K-4 school nurse gave me this advice. Jen - Lancaster, PA  This Came From Veronica in NC-USA Keep a box in the closet or elsewhere for worn out socks and tee shirts, old pillowcases, and various other items that you can use to create homemade pet toys. Here's a few ideas to get you started: * Tie socks together to make a pull toy. * Put a squeaky toy inside of a sock to make it last longer with dogs that otherwise might quickly destroy the toy. * Dogs love the crinkling sound of an empty plastic water bottle stuffed inside of a sock. * Put catnip inside of a sock. * Use old tee shirts, pillows, pillow cases, and shams to make a dog or cat bed like I made for Misty (photo-below). * Make a ball out of crumpled paper for your cat to chase. * Tie a string on the end of an old window blind adjustor rod and play with your cat * Pet toys can be expensive.

Would you like it if the problems suddenly went away? Then stand up, step forward and begin to transform those problems into opportunities. Do you long for a reason to be hopeful? Then consider what a truly unique and beautiful miracle you are, and find hope in more fully living and expressing your purpose. In whatever you truly wish to have, you’ll find reasons to be your very best. In your highest vision of how life can be, you’ll find valuable and meaningful direction for how you can be. The joy you wish to experience is already within you, waiting for you to share it. Instead of waiting and wishing for someone or something to make you happy, just go ahead and apply that happiness to whatever you’re doing. You have the power to make it all better because you have the power to experience life from any perspective you choose. Choose a positive, empowering perspective, because you deserve the best. â€" Ralph Marston (I often quote others to better express myself_JS)   ********** TO @@@@@@@  | ||

Eight Houseplants That Are
Virtually Indestructible
By Ellen Brown
For many of us, the perfect houseplant is one
that looks great and continues to thrive
without requiring a lot of extra attention.
It needs to forgive us if we forget to water
it occasionally and it should be able to hold
its own if we accidentally put it in the
wrong place. Although no houseplant is
completely indestructible, here are eight
that have earned a reputation for their
adaptability and tolerance for neglect.

Tie socks together to make a pull toy.
*
Put a squeaky toy inside of a sock to make
it last longer with dogs that otherwise

Dogs love the crinkling sound of an

inside of a sock.

Put catnip inside of a sock.
