Effective Floor Wash Formula

Tess September 26th, 2006

If you’re like me, you don’t usually use the words “fun″ and “washing the floor” in the same sentence.

I had a senior moment, forgot what I know about how to clean this problem, and scrubbed and scrubbed to no avail (you realize why the residue is called scale!), and even sent them through the hot dishwasher, thinking for sure that heavy duty detergent and heat would work, but no such luck.

What can I do to relieve sciatica pain?

Tess September 16th, 2006

The longest nerve in the human body, the sciatic nerve, can be a source of much pain if it is compressed due to some reason. The pain is often unbearable and pain management is required at times to be able to carry on daily duties.
