TOPIC: Is It Time To Move? Change Your Home Into A House... Have It Staged!

Heart and Soul Designs - Changing your Home into a House
Spring is in the air... is it time to move? If moving is on your "to
do" list, you may want to have your home Staged? to help sell it
faster, and easier. This is a relatively new process, which began in
California a few years ago. As the name suggests, you stage your home
so that potential buyers can see your house as a product, rather than
your collection of family photos, memorabilia and personal decorating
style.
By having an impartial pair of eyes present your house as a product,
the moving process can be much less stressful. Statistics show that
potential buyers spend less than 10 minutes taking the tour, so the
impact of your house is immediate, and you only get one brief chance
for a great first impression. More importantly, you will receive the
equity you deserve from your house, and your house will sell faster.
Part of the theory is that you have to pack your personal items
anyways, so why not start early.
If your house is bursting at the seams with excess furnishings, out of
season clothes, along with tons of family pictures, now is the time to
get them packed and into a storage unit rather than storing them in
the garage or basement. Why? You don't want these spaces to seem
smaller than they really are either....

Biologically speaking (and rather surprisingly for most people) rotten meat
is edible.

I know this is a bit distasteful but strictly speaking you can eat rotten
meat providing it is properly cooked.

Eskimos traditionally ate rotten meat including rotten fish and deliberately
stored the meat until it went off as they preferred the taste.

Paradoxically they regarded cheese or other milk derivatives as disgusting
and having gone off.

Yeah, and there was a series of botulism outbreaks resulting
from eating it. One being a Traditional preperation called "stink eggs".
In Canada people have died from it and the government got involved.
Rightfully so.

Hence the practice of hanging meat for tenderization. :-)

Don't know if they ate the asshole or not but I know that historically
Eskimos ate some very strange things.

Interesting article.

Do yourself a favour and try understanding it.

It states in both instances that these outbreaks were caused as a result of
the "anerobic environment created by using non-traditional storage methods".

It further states that "following the recent Alaskan outbreak, Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) experiments were unable to detect
botulinum toxin in traditionally fermented salmon heads while botulinum
toxin was detected in salmon heads fermented in plastic buckets".

I don't think the Eskimos invented Tupperware and there's no traditional
Eskimo method of making glass jars or plastic containers so presumably
botulism wasn't a particular problem for the original natives. :-)

Why am I not surprised that you're incapable of doing your own research.

"Native preparations" have been a cause of food poisoning for years.
Salmonella, botulism, and others.

I'll spell it out for you.

From the Centers for Disease Control website:

<http://www2.cdc.gov/phtn/botulism/who/who.asp>

Quote:

Almost all cases of botulism in Alaska are associated with Native foods like
- Fermented fish heads, also called "stinky heads"
- Fermented fish eggs, also called "stinky eggs"
- Fermented beaver tail
- Fermented seal flipper
- Fermented walrus flipper
- Fermented whale
- Seal oil
- Dried unsalted fish

All the pyramids are not in Egypt. Many are from India.
According to the web site:
"Referring new members is the fastest path to incentives!"
What does that say? Your mail will be filled with crap too.

There is a lot of info on this so called company. Most of the positive
things are posted by the Indians that are in the group. The English is
typically poor. I guess there is a demand for survey takers that don't
speak or write well. These people are all playing with themselves and
learning how to write English and design sites.

We've had a relatively cool summer -- no corn and so far only two
tomatoes have actually gotten ripe. Lots of lettuce, spinach,
broccoli, wax beans, radishes and others. Looks like the potatoes
will be good later too.

If you are only concerned with the nutritional value such as the
amount of lycopene, tomato paste has three times as much as raw
tomatoes

I've been keeping my white, red wine vinegar bottles on a shelf, my
balsamic vinegar in the fridge...what's wrong with this picture?
Should they all be in the fridge or out on a shelf?

I keep saying to myself I'm too old to do it just to save 5 bucks.
However every time they have a special on oil and filters I get
another batch.

How do you save 5 bucks? The materials alone are usually more than it costs
to have our garage do it. Then you have to consider the gas you will burn
when you haul the used oil to a recycling facility. -Dave

I just heard over the radio that a study showed people having sex
every other day looked 7 to 12 years younger. Does masturbation count?
