RE: Making Removable Gold Hair Coloring
Thanks to those who replied to my request for the removable gold hair colouring. My daughter was able to find gold hairspray and used that. She also used a green one. Her project turned out really well.

RE: Computer Infections - Removing Spyware From Your Computer
I have another program called Spyware Blaster which is free as well. When I do an upgrade to my Spybot and then do an immunize, it tells me that I have the Spyware Blaster and that it provides more protection against Active X controls. I use both programs and update on a weekly basis. ... View related article.

RE: Husband Quit Drinking, Now Is Addicted To Sugar
Hi. I have good news for you... the sugar craving WILL decrease. My husband has been sober 14 years this past March 10th and at first he went nuts for sugar. The reason is that there is a lot of sugar in alcohol, especially rum (my husband's drink of choice). Try substuting veggies. I know it is hard but if he can break the habit of the booze, he can do it with sugar too. Watch his weight and if there is a severe increase, try getting him to do some type of exercise. Making love is the best way to burn calories LOL. All kidding aside, nice quiet strolls are really nice especially with spring coming.

I wish you all the luck and please pass on my heartfelt congratulations to your husband on being sober today. Remeber each day is its own battle so the congratulations go from day to day.

RE: Cleaning Water Out of Your Ears
If you catch the water right away, (like just getting out of the shower or pool) just add a few drops of regular water and let the 2 combine. You will know when that happens (you will feel it and hear it). When they combine, tilt your head so the affected side is down (I do this tilting rather quickly) and all of the water will come out at once. Be sure to dry the ear carefully and be careful if you are using Q-Tips or anything of that kind because it doesn't take much to perforate the ear drum. ... View related article.

RE: Helping Someone Who Is Choking
You are very lucky. Do you realize that by doing what you did you could have damaged your windpipe/esophagus badly? Like calnorth61 said, find some first aid trining in the heimich maneuver. If you are on your own, try placing your fist just above your belly button and using your other hand, jerk quickly in and up. If this doesn't work after 2 tries, you can position yourself with your diaphram up against a table and drop onto the edge of the table. I would also suggest that you call 9-1-1 before you try the table maneuver because it doesn't take long for a person to lose consciousness when there is a lack of oxygen. Please, PLEASE get some first aid training and have your family go with you. You'll be surprised at how much you and they will learn.

keeping celery fresh
I saw the tip about wrapping the celery in aluminium foil to keep it fresh but I also recall seeing a tip about cutting the celery. Do I need to cut the bottom off the celery before I wrap it? Thanks a bunch LOL
