Vinegar For Scars And Age Spots
Vinegar also works to get rid of warts. I developed one on my nose, very near my eye. Over-the-counter preparations cannot be used near the eyes, and I read about using vinegar. I used a tiny piece of cotton from a Q-Tip, vinegar, and tape. It took about three...

Natural Remedy for Anxiety?
I know each person reacts differently to medications, but I must say Zoloft worked for me. I had a problem with anxiety, mood, etc., when my husband died. I was very hesitant and told the doctor that I didnt like the idea of taking a drug for the problem. However...

Increasing Frequency of Traffic Tickets
People who speed, run stop signs/lights, fail to use turn signals, etc., deserve the tickets they get. The concern should be safety and obeying the laws. Its pathetic to be more concerned with the financial aspect than the safety aspect.
