I happen to like silk flowers. They are pretty, and they are very realistic looking. Better than that, they never need watering and if they get knocked over there is no mess of a pile of dirt you have to clean up! And even better, the cats don’t eat the silk flowers and then puke them up on the sofa twenty minutes later! A while ago I was watching a decorating show on HGTV and the designer was saying that no matter how pretty the silk flowers are, artificial flowers are always tacky. Well, I disagree completely! I think they are wonderful!

I like The Colbert Report Show
When I have the time to watch television, one of my very favorite shows to watch is the Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert is witty and very very funny. I love to watch his congressional interviews, and I love to watch him interview his guests. Not very many shows make me laugh out loud, but this is one of them!

Ginger ale – the nectar of gods!
My family probably thinks I’m nuts. Every time someone gets sick in my family, I tell them to drink lots of ginger ale.
I’ve found that ginger ale will settle an upset stomach quickly, so it is a great cure for nausea. And it is easier on the stomach than plain water, so it is a great beverage to drink to prevent dehydration. It has a little bit of sodium and sugar, so it helps to keep the body nourished when it might otherwise be suffering from little food intake.
When I’m sick, I drink room-temperature ginger ale. I find that cold beverages are harder on the stomach and sinuses, so I try to avoid drinking anything cold.
