Yup! I live in Florida, and the place I work closed our office one morning last week because the storm lasted through the night and I guess they were worried about driving conditions. It rained almost nonstop for three days. Good call on moving your vacation. ;)

My cat is really young, but occasionally she'll meow and nothing will come out. It never happens for an extended period of time, though; usually she'll do a silent meow three or four times and then later on the sound will be back. With a cat I babysit sometimes, I've noticed that his meow gets...

I had heard that coffee can improve your short-term memory, but the rest of the facts on this list are new to me! Great info. It's pretty exciting to learn that about curry, too... it's always encouraging to hear about preventative measures to take against Alzheimer's, since it seems to be such...

I have extremely oily skin and my face breaks out constantly. I've tried a million products and nothing seems to do the trick... the only thing that has ever made a noticeable difference for me is something similar to what Scarletpyxi mentioned -- a green clay facial mask. The brand I use I...

Really?? I've never heard that... I guess I never really thought about how altering the state of the fruit could change the nutrients. Good to know, though -- I like my fruit whole just as well. (:

Thanks guys! And Jason, it's alright, I'm used to the storms... I like them as long as I don't have to go outside in them. ;)

My roommate and I recently gave our kitty a bath to rid her of fleas. Our initial strategy was to take her into the bathroom, close the door, and fill the tub with water just enough to cover her paws... she was not cool with that, so then we tried the sink, which she was also not cool with...

This makes me so happy! I drink coffee every day, and I'm always trying to stock up on more facts to share with people when they accuse me of being an addict (caffeine improves short-term memory!). However, I'm not sure if this particular solution would work for me, because I always take my...

I've never tried this before, but the thought of it is exciting! I get a really bad headache once or twice a month, and I always feel defeated when I have to take pain pills to make it go away... One thing that I've used lemon for since childhood is sore throats, as strange as that sounds. My...

Lately, my roommates and I have been doing a lot of smoothies. It's really quick and easy to just chop up some strawberries and bananas or whatever other kind of fruit you have around, throw in some juice or yogurt, and then blend it for a really healthy snack! Great for summer, and so...

I'm not entirely sure what the average start-age is, but I think that generally, severe symptoms don't begin until past 60. My grandmother wasn't diagnosed with Alzheimer's until she was in her late 70s, and she lived with the disease for around nine years before it took her life. I would agree...

Hey guys! I'm Kelli, a 20-year-old college student in Florida, and I'm majoring in Graphic Design. I've always been fascinated by herbal remedies and solutions (although I really don't know much about it beyond some of the basics), and I thought joining a discussion forum such as this one...
