Usually you replace your dentures every 3 to 5 years. If you don’t donate them at your dentist office they are probably laying around collecting dust at your house. Put them to good use.
The Japan Denture Recycling Association, is a nonprofit organization since December 2006. JDRA recycles the metal from used dentures and donates the money to UNICEF to support underprivileged children in the world.
All you have to do is sanitize the dentures. You can do so by boiling some water and placing the dentures in a glass bowl and pour water over the dentures. Let the dentures soak until water is cool. Remove dentures, dry off, wrap in plastic wrap and place in envelope or small box and mail them off.

Remain vigilant about safety in and around the home this winter. Here are three winter hazards to keep in mind.
First, Carbon Monoxide – The Invisible Killer
Use portable generators outside your home and place them at least 20 feet away from the residence with exhaust pointed away from spaces where it can gather and present a hazard. Never use a generator inside a home, basement, shed or garage. The exhaust from portable generators contains poisonous carbon monoxide (CO), which can kill in minutes.
Most portable generator-related deaths from CO poisoning occur during the cold months.
Never leave a car running in a garage, even with the garage door open.
Install CO alarms in your home on every level and outside all sleeping areas. Test CO alarms monthly.
Your space heater needs space. Keep flammable objects, such as curtains, sofas, beds, clothes and papers at least 3 feet away from your space heater at all times.
Make sure your space heater is placed on a stable, level, flat surface in an area where it can’t be knocked over.
Turn off space heaters when you are sleeping, or when you leave the room.
Install smoke alarms on every floor of your home, outside all sleeping areas, and inside each bedroom. Test smoke alarms once a month to make sure they are working.
Third, Snow Blower Hazards – Clear Snow Safely
Most snow blower injuries happen when consumers try to clear snow from the discharge chute with their hands.
NEVER leave a gas-powered snow blower running in an enclosed area. The exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, which can kill in minutes.
Don’t add gasoline to a running or hot engine, to avoid a fire; and always keep the gasoline in a portable gasoline container with a child-resistant closure to prevent child poisonings.
One more very important thing… Clear the snow away from your gas meter and away from any pipes around that area.
HEART DIEASE CLAIMS THE LIFE OF A WOMAN EVERY MINUTE.
Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.
You may think you have indigestion, heartburn or discomfort in your chest. The doctor told me that it was just heart burn and prescribed antacids. I had 6 heart attacks in 4 days. I was taking apple cider vinegar thinking it was heartburn. I think it saved my life. I have a new doctor now!!!
Let’s Win This Together Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women. Support the innovative research, education and prevention services that protect the women we love.
IT’S THE HOLIDAY SEASON AND HERE COMES ALL THE STRESS!!!
ARE YOU DREAMING OF DANCING LOLLIPOPS AND WALTZING WITH GINGERBREAD MEN?
I highly doubt you are feeling all warm and dreamy about Christmas at this point. D-Day is tomorrow and you are behind on getting all the goodies under the tree. Baking cookies and treats for your spectacular day to celebrate with family and friends.
It’s time to take a minute to check on yourself… Litterly sit yourself down and take a 5 minute break. If you are feeling tired or even exhausted to the point where you don’t feel well.
Don’t wait to get help if you experience any of these heart attack warning signs. Some heart attacks are sudden and intense. But most start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Pay attention to your body and call 911 if you experience:
DONT HESITATE CALL 911
Symptoms vary between men and women
As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain (angina) or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

Flu is caused by influenza virus of Class A, B and C. Flu spreads directly or indirectly from airborne droplets produced during sneezing or coughing.
Following are the symptoms of flu:
Fever
Malaise
Headache
Runny nose
Postnasal drip
Sneezing
Reduced sense of smell
Metallic taste in mouth
Chills

Take Three Actions to Protect Against Flu
Get Vaccinated
Take preventive steps
Get Treatment
Preventive Steps You Can Take NOW
Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.
If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone for 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.)
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. After using a tissue, throw it in the trash and wash your hands.
Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Germs spread this way.
Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with germs like flu.
Treatments
Most of the time flu goes away without treatment. Taking medication can help relieve symptoms. Bed rest will help in faster recovery. Medication
Antiviral: This is used for treat specific viral infections. Oseltamivir · Zanamivir

MOST IMPORTANTLY: KEEP YOUR FACE, HANDS and EYES COVERED.
Always wash your hands and change clothes as soon as you get home.
Try and keep the contamination to one area.
If you are one of the few that come home to one of the burnt out neighborhoods make sure you exercise caution while out in the elements.
That means anytime you are outside make sure you follow these simple emergency instructions to cleansing your body.
You do not want to inhale any of the elements that is on fire or has been burnt out.
Respiratory infections and many other illness can be blamed on large burn out fires as these.
Think about how many toxic products that are in our homes. Make sure if moving one of these items you are prepared with emergency protection gear.
Refrigerator, microwaves, cars, carpet, wood flooring that has been treated and those are just a few things that every home may have.
Your home and residing in the neighborhood: Set up an area that you can seal off. If you have a separate hall way that you can close off with plastic or a separate entry, perhaps through the side garage door(not a big one)with door to house. Handy to change contaminated clothes.
Even though your area may not have flames crawling up your street or that you can actually see, remember embers and ash can float through the air. It will glide until it gets caught on a branch or something to cling onto.
Make sure you bath each night before you go to bed.
Open your pores with warm water and use a good scrubby or washcloth with loads of soap. Soap up really good. Use cold water after to wash the soap off and close your pores.
Keep all of your smoke clothes in a plastic bag in your sealed area until you wash them. You don’t want to spread the smell or contaminate any other area.
If you are in close vicinity of the devastated areas: Do Not run any fans or air conditioning that has a connetion to outdoors. Close all doors, windows and vents. Close blinds and curtains to keep sun out and temperatures down in the house.

You would think that in 2017 we would have figured out a way to ensure our senior citizens safe long-term care.
Many of us find that as our parents age, they’re more likely to need assistance to carry out everyday activities. If that is your role in your parents life, you will have to be diligent and make sure their needs are being met.
I know the first thought is to move them in with you. But you must really think carefully about this choice.
How do we keep them safe and living in their own homes. Or when and how do you trust a facility to give care to your family member?
Just remember low cost care homes usually have several patients and very few staff. Possibly there may be the 1 or 2 staff members on duty for each shift .
The caretaker for your family member must stay alert to their health and needs.
Checking with them daily. Either by being present or by phone.
Check physically at least once a week. Just remember it’s the ones left alone that will be at a disadvantage or taken advantage of. Without frequent communication and things go awry, you will not be aware it happened. You will never know something happened until the one you are caring for speaks up and tells you so.
I know our lives have become very busy between work and children. But they need you now more than ever.
Things to check on when you visit:
Loosing Weight
Gaining Weight
Proper Bowel Movements
Keeping Hydrated, especially during the hot months
Food supply
They have personal needs items. Toothpaste, deodorant and such
Making sure Bills are paid. Electric, gas, phone and rent or mortgage.

You can eat more and still lose weight. It’s that easy!
It seems natural: You want to, so you do a diet slash-and-burn, eating less and thinking about food more. The usual result also seems pretty natural: You feel denied, so you give up. Repeat as diet fads come and go. Enough already!
Why not eat more for weight loss and weight maintenance, instead of less? If your schedule does not allow you to exercise, it’s even more important to change your intake values. If your body does not recognize the food as a value, it turns it into FAT… Read through all the articles and see if it makes sense to you. Start to change the inside of you. Read the labels. This will be the most vital part about living healthy. Juicing is an excellent way to intake healthy vitamins and minerals. With the a Juicer you will be able to make healthy juices while still eating a healthy diet.

#HomemadeFermentedGarlic #orgnatlifecom
Super easy recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Water filtered purified
3/4 teaspoon Sea Salt
This makes 1 cup of brine
Instructions
• Peel the garlic cloves, cut the stem end off. (hard end)
HomemadeFermentedGarlic #orgnatlifecom
• Place them in a clean jar. Fill the jar 3/4 full.
• Make your brine in a glass bowl or large jar. Exactly how much brine you’ll need will depend on the size of jar. You will need ¾ teaspoon of salt for each cup of filtered purified water.
HomemadeFermentedGarlic #orgnatlifecom
• Tighten the lid down. I use regular masón jars. And burp them every other day
HomemadeFermentedGarlic #orgnatlifecom
• Allow the jar to ferment for 5 days to 4 weeks.
• You will need to open the jar to allow the garlic to “burp” every couple of days to release the gases that build. You can check the water level at the same time to make sure that the water which forms the seal hasn’t evaporated.
• The color will change to a tan color. This is normal.
HomemadeFermentedGarlic #orgnatlifecom
• Make sure to taste it during the fermentation process. When it reaches a flavor that you like put it in the refrigerator. Use for all your special recipes and snacks.
Cars of the future need to arrive today. Hydro or electric something better and mostly a cheaper product.
Mercedes
The need to look into solar power for the automobiles itself. The electric infrastructure can not and never will be able to handle going all electric powered everything. So we need to think bigger.
Solar on every possible house, in every possible state.
I say place solar panels on cars. What ever happened to the solar paint that turned the entire car into direct power?
Mercedes VISION EQXX
The all-new VISION EQXX by Mercedes-EQ Concept.
Mercedes is taking car electric architecture to a whole new level, surpassing what was once impossible.
Mercedes has achieved an energy-dense battery that’s 30% lighter and sized 50% smaller.
Further refinements from aerodynamicists allowed Mercedes to drop the drag co-efficient to an unimaginable cd 0.17.
Just 18 months in the making, this concept car exceeds an astounding WLTP-estimated 620-mile range.
With a number like that, this vehicle has the potential to become the silver bullet to the electric road trip — capable of journeying great distances on a single charge. Day-to-day, the average U.S. driver may need to fully recharge just twice a month.
This recipe leaves your rolls nice and moist. Adding a little brown sugar to the recipe can really change the structure of your dough.
Yeast Breads are Quick and Easy to make
For Bread Machine
Level: Simple / Easy
Prep Time: 2.5 hours
Video Below
Not only did I change the sugar. I also used evaporated milk instead of water. These rolls are slamming good. Your name will be having a thank you behind it.
For this recipe I will be using evaporated milk. It produces a moist, tender golden brown crust. You can use evaporated, whole, low-fat or skim milk based on your preference. You can also use nonfat dry milk instead of fresh milk and add water for the required liquid.
Reminder: Adjusting your liquid depending on the type of flour you use. If you will be using bread flour you will have to add 1/4 cup more liquid.
Dough Ingredients
1 can Evaporated Milk
1/4 cup Water
3 tablespoons Butter
4 cups Bread Flour
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoons Yeast
Dough Directions
Set your machine on “DOUGH” and go do something else.
Once your timer goes off on your bread machine to signal your “DOUGH” is finished, remove pan of dough from machine and place it at work station.
On your work surface place your pans that you will use to cook your rolls.
Butter your pans lightly and add the honey.
Coat the sides with the honey
Remove a ball of dough place on table and roll the dough out very thin. If it’s to thick it will come out bread like. So thin is best.
Cover the dough in butterSprinkle some sugarSprinkle the cinnamon onAdd the nuts if you want them. Chopped finely Roll the doughCut the dough halfway through for fancy look.
Cut 2” pieces for the rolls. Place your rolls 1\4″ apart in pan.
Set in warm area to rise for 25 to 45 minutes. Check after 25 minutes. Best if at least twice to 3 times original size or more.
Place the rolls in the pansRolls are rising
Remove from proofing. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees if convection and 375 regular.
Place your pan in the oven on the center rack. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until light brown tops.
Do Not Over Cook… Check through glass door of oven after 25 minutes see if tops are brown then remove them. If not, check at 30 minutes.
Remove from oven
Remove and let cool at least 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes slowly flip the pan onto another pan. Cinnamon rolls flipped onto trayFlip the rolls overSpoon the hot honey on for 10 minutes
As you gain more confidence at baking bread you will be able to lightly knock on bread and rolls. Easy way to know they are done…
When the timer goes off knock lightly with your finger tip nail on top of rolls “FLICK” it in the center. They will be crispy on the crust. You will hear a clear tone when they are done.
Cooking is amazing once you get going. So every time you bake bread. Keep baking, you will see…
You can also freeze any extra dough. Just make the size of dough lay them on a cookie sheet and freeze and remove place in a baggie and take them out of freezer as you want. Easy simple.

Thought you had gone the healthy route and cut almost all sugar out of your diet.
Sugar related obesity can lead to hidden health risks
Did you switch to a substitute sweetener?
BEWARE: warning heart risk and strokes
Everyone likes a sugary snack now and then. But if you often have foods and drinks with sugar substitutes you might be headed for the cardiologist sooner than later.
Added sugar can play a part in weight gain. But sugar substitutes may raise your risk of serious health problems, such as diabetes and heart disease.
You can use less table sugar by using less processed sweeteners such as honey and molasses.
After the new research has opened the door to new health risks with substitute sweeteners my mind no longer fears sugar.
According to Mayo Clinic’s research staff.
Safety of sugar substitutes
Government health agencies oversee ingredients that product-makers add to food. These agencies check ingredients, such as sugar substitutes, before foods or drinks that contain them can go on sale. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the following sugar substitutes to be used:
Other countries, such as those in the European Union, have more sugar substitute options than does the United States.
The FDA allows product-makers to use sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol and xylitol, too. The agency doesn’t consider sugar alcohols to be food additives.
The FDA and food safety agencies in other countries also suggest how much of a sugar substitute you can safely have each day. This amount is called the acceptable daily intake (ADI). It varies by a person’s weight and the type of sugar substitute used. Acceptable daily intakes aren’t the same everywhere. They’re different in the United States and Europe, for example.
In general, artificial sweeteners are safe in limited amounts for healthy people, including pregnant people. But limit or cut out sugar substitutes:
• If you’re living with a rare genetic disease called phenylketonuria. Foods and drinks with aspartame can lead to serious health problems.
• If you have a bowel disease. Using sugar substitutes might make your symptoms flare up.
Dietary guidelines for Americans say adults shouldn’t give sugar substitutes to children under 2 years old. In general, experts need to do more studies to learn what long-term health effects sugar substitutes might have on children. Most studies have looked at the effects in adults.
Health benefits linked to sugar substitutes
If you replace added sugar with sugar substitutes, it could lower your risk of getting tooth decay and cavities.
Sugar substitutes also don’t raise the level of sugar in the blood.
For adults and children with overweight or obesity, sugar substitutes also might help manage weight in the short term. That’s because sugar substitutes often are low in calories or have no calories. But it’s not clear whether sugar substitutes can help people manage their weight over the long term.
Over time, it’s most important to eat a healthy diet and get exercise.
Health concerns linked to sugar substitutes
Health agencies have clarified that sugar substitutes do not cause serious health problems.
Sugar substitutes also are not linked to a higher risk of cancer in people. Studies dating back to the 1970s linked the artificial sweetener saccharin to bladder cancer in rats. Since then, research has shown that those findings don’t apply to people.
Some research on long-term, daily use of artificial sweeteners suggests a link to a higher risk of stroke, heart disease and death overall. But other things people do, or healthy habits that people don’t do, may be the cause of the higher risk.
Other research is looking at long-term use of sugar substitutes and the gut. Many focus on how the gut and brain communicate. Researchers are checking to see if sugar substitutes affect cravings for sweets, the way people feel hunger and how the body manages blood sugar.
Sugar alcohols, stevia and luo han guo can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea. The amount of sugar alcohol that causes these symptoms varies from person to person.
In general, it is safest to take in small amounts of sugar substitutes. And it’s best to use sugar substitutes for a short time, or just every once in a while. So try to cut back if you use them a few times a day.
Sugary snacks
The bottom line
Artificial sweeteners can be a short-term way to help some people lessen their use of sugar and lose or manage weight. In general, sugar substitutes are safe for healthy adults.
But be aware of how sugar substitutes affect your food and drink choices. These ingredients may get your tastebuds used to sweetness. And that can make drinking enough water a challenge.
Products made with sugar substitutes also may give you the wrong message about processed foods. A snack labeled low sugar or no sugar may not be the most nutritious choice. Whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables, usually have the best mix of nutrients for the body.
But artificial sweeteners can help some people enjoy sweetness without excess calories. And if used in moderation, artificial sweeteners can be part of a healthy diet.
Well I wanted to see if storing fruit in mason jars really worked. It does and better than I thought.
Started on Monday March 6th today is the 11th. Almost 6 days and the mason jar of bananas are still green. Just starting to ripen.

Place in oven on center rack for 30 minutes. take out of oven. The sides should be pulled away from pan. Get the pizza cutter and cut your squares.
Pretending again .. but great example
Turn oven off and put the pan back into the oven and let bake until cool. You can make the size of the cookie fit your dog. I have 4 dogs in various sizes. From 85 to 15 pounds. So my cookies are various sizes.
Ahh finally I remembered to take the picture.
Cut your squares and put them back into the oven until completely cool.
Remove from oven after completely cool. Put into an airtight container and refrigerator. I have 4 dogs and this last one week. You can also freeze them and just take out what you need.
Your dogs will love them until the last cookie…
You can adjust this recipe to your dogs taste or yours. I ate one and i could barely taste the peanut butter. I did a second recipe with 1 cup of peanut butter. I can taste the peanut butter and my dogs could really smell their treats baking and waited by the kitchen door.
If you would like to make these human consumable just add 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, 1/2 cup Sugar, 1/2 teaspoon Salt and one egg. Baking powder is not good for your dogs so please don’t feed the human recipe to the dogs.
The approximate cost for the cookies is very low. So if you can spare about an hour of time your pups will have a tasty treat.

Return cookies to oven for 10 minutes. Check and see if they are drier. If not return to oven for 5 min.
Remove from oven if you would like a softer cookie. Have to remember our senior family members.
OR
If you want a super crispy cookie. Turn off the oven and leave it to cool inside. Approximately 3 hours in my oven. Then they are like rocks. But you actually cook the goodness out. Softer cookies retain more nutrients.
I make small cookies. I have various sized dogs. Choose the size that fits your needs.
2” x 2” inch cookies
Place cookies into containers. Your choice of sizes. If you only have one dog you might want to put them in several containers or baggies to freeze and take out as needed.
This is 60 cookies at 2” x 2” inch size
Keep a container of cookies in the refrigerator and take out what you’ll use daily.

Wow who knew that very few people have green eyes. I thought it would have been much higher. Here are some fun facts about green eyes.
Green eyes are the most rare eye color in the world. Only about 2 percent of people in the world have naturally green eyes.
Green eyes are a genetic mutation that results in low levels of melanin, though more melanin than in blue eyes.
Green eyes don’t actually have any color. While green eyes appear to observer as green, the irises themselves have no actual pigment.
86 percent is the highest concentration of people with green eyes and they are found in Ireland, Scotland, and northern Europe.
Sixteen separate genes have been identified as contributing to eye color. So, no matter what eye color your parents have, yours could end up being just about any color. Green eyes naturally occur in all races of people.
There is a village in China called Liqian, in which two-thirds of all inhabitants today have green eyes and blonde hair.
Green eyes and blonde hair are a rare combination.
Every baby is born with either brown or blue eyes. It can take between six months and three years for children to develop green eyes.
Because green eyes have less melanin than brown eyes, people with green eyes are more likely to be extra sensitive to UV rays. The more melanin, the better protection from the sun.
Doughnut or Donut either way you spell it, you get delicious. I can remember when a donut was .25 cents for fancy ones and .10 cents for glazed or sugar. How about you. Today I pay $1.69 per donut for glazed. Inflation has struck my round little treat.
Doughnut or Donut either way you spell it, you get delicious.
Now that everyone is blindly making treats for their pets. Sadly we must check human ingredients to make sure there are not any things that will harm them.
