    Golden Era Cures for Depression

    My dh's been on Effexor since the summer of 2000.. His doctor told him he'd never NOT take antidepressants.. I keep a close eye on his pill bottle just to make sure he is taking them every day.. He still struggles with some things but rarely talks to me about it..

    Another thing you can use for wool and other natural fibers is Tail and Mane Shampoo... I use it all the time on my silk blouses.. Like you say, wool and angora are really just hairs.....

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    I guess for me there is a very very fine line between patriotic and being a zealot also.... I am sure there where Germans, Nazis in particular, and Italians who firmly believed that they where patriotic during WW2. Ok ok i know that's a really controversial thing to say but it is true, imho..

    The Cleaning Clothes (vintage or other) Thread

    Hmmm, i was told by a textile conservator to never store fabrics directly in contact with cedar.. So she suggested that you put the item or items into cotton bags or folded cloth and then put it in the chest... Cedar is a very very acidic wood and will eat away at natrual fibers... That is...

    Strangely enough a crunched up newspaper will take mildew smells away.. Put some paper inside the purse and put the whole thing in a plastic bag.. Not sure for how long tho but the paper will take the smell up.. I have several friends who has done this with stinky old, Featherweight sewing...

    Give your patriotism a boost here: Share what makes you feel patriotic

    The Canadian words to This Land is Our land are as such.. In Canada, the song is sung with the first verse altered to make Canadian geographical references. This version was written and popularized by Canadian folk music group The Travellers in 1955:[7] This land is your land, This land is...

    That is one reason why former PM Pierre Trudeau repatriated Canada's constitution.. The Crown does not have final say over bills and the internal affairs of our country... I believe that the English queen is the figurehead of Canada not the highest ruling body... And to that effect i believe...
