FINGERNAILS: Whitening yellowed fingernails
The most important step in restoring fingernails to their natural, healthy color is to stop smoking. Second, taking vitamin B12 supplements may help the fingernails to regain some of their natural luster. Third, some home cleaning remedies can successfully remove yellow fingernail stains. Yellow nails can be soaked in pure lemon juice, then lightly buffed. Denture tablets designed to whiten dentures can also safely lighten yellow fingernails. Manicures can also help to remove yellow stains caused by smoking. Finally, fingernail stains are not permanent and will fade as the fingernail grows out.

MOSQUITOES:
I don't know about you, but in South Texas, we have a bad mosquito problem, and they're so tiny, you can't see them!.  And for some reason, they LOVE me (maybe because I'm white as the driven snow!)!  My GF, Linda, told me about two ways to keep them from "feeding on me".  First, buy dryer sheets (any brand or type).  Rub the sheets on all exposed areas of your body.  I do this each morning, and they honestly work (of course, I smell like I just stepped out of a dryer, but hey, whatever works)!!!  Secondly, she told me to buy a bottle of B-Complex, and take one each morning.  I tried this, but for some strange reason, it reacted badly on me, and by the third day, I was incredibly light-headed!  Not good when you have a long commute to drive!  I don't know why it reacted this way with me, but by Saturday of that week, I quit taking them, and by that afternoon, the light-headedness had completed stopped!  It's possible that the Effexor-XR (75 MG, once a day) that the doctor prescribed about a year or so ago for my mood swings interacted poorly with the B-Complex.

MOSQUITOS: 
I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on. OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.

SLEEPING PROBLEMS:
On the nights that Richard had to work graveyard shift, to assure that I will sleep soundly, at 8 p.m. I take two Tylenol PM tablets.  By the time I go to bed at 10 p.m., I can barely hold my eyes open, plus it rids me of the day's aches and pains.  It's the best sleeping medication I've ever found!!!
