I have read where imaging therapy is a great way of relaxing. It involves lying still, shutting out everything around you, and trying to conjure up mental images of pleasant experiences, places or situations. I try to do this three or four times a week.

I finally bought the flax seed and have found it's easy to put in all sorts of things. We sprinkle it on cereals, put it in muffins and add it to salads. It's already making a difference.

I actually enjoy being on the treadmill as long as I have something else to do at the same time. I'm not very good at reading on one, but I turn the television up loud and watch television.

The WaterPik user bothered me the most. I know pipes can have all sorts of bacteria in them, especially older pipes in houses. If a solution is sterile, I wouldn't hesitate to use it, but straight from the tap and then through a WaterPik is not wise.

While we haven't made candles out of old crayons, we have tried one of those kits where you melt the crayons and make new crayons out of the old ones. The kids enjoyed the process. They learned some things about color mixing, too.

I'm so glad the outcome for you was a good one. I worry about all the animals when the lakes and ponds get those thin ice crusts on them. We humans aren't always around to come to the rescue.

It bears repeating, according to "The Doctors" program recently. Questions were raised about bacteria getting into the brain with the use of Neti Pots from the water in a few places. The show stressed the importance of not using tap water without boiling it first, just in case. I read here that...

Dangers of diet soft drinks I continue to read about how dangerous drinking diet soft drinks are. Now studies have shown they are a huge contributor to heart attacks. I have got to get off these things and I'm so addicted. I need to drink more water. Will power, where art thou?

There are lots of videos on You Tube and elsewhere on the web where you can get a free education and demonstrations on aromatherapy and making your own soaps and fizzies. You might want to go the free route.

I didn't realize that drinking soft drinks depleted your body of water. I drink way too much diet pop, and definitely not enough water. I will go out of my way for the next month to drink more water.

Cayenne and benefits I, too, have heard the health benefits of cayenne. Although I don't like spicy foods, I do use a little cayenne whenever I make chili or soups, just in case we can benefit. My husband loves spicy, so it's only a problem for me.

I've read so much lately about pesticide use in tea production that I'm going to start buying organic teas. We drink a lot of tea, so I want to make sure we're not overdoing the pesticides. What teas do others use that are most likely to be free of pesticides?

I've never heard of this side benefit of apples. I do know that I feel better and work better when I eat apples. I don't think it's a mental thing either. Apples are great for everything, so why not one's sex life?
