It has become a bit of an obsession of mine poking around on other peoples blogs reading all of the domestic things they do like making vegetable gardens, making EVERYTHING from scratch, sewing up cute little aprons or other fun things in their time, canning the fruits of their labor from their home gardens, etc.  Basically these women (who I admire) make me feel like the biggest wimp of all time!  I have yet to see the bottom of our laundry hamper since before little  Harper came along, I dont know the first thing about gardening (in fact the only thing growing in our lawn is weeds), and a sewing machine? Forget it. I own one, but definitely cannot sew in a straight line, let alone make cute burp rags, aprons, or even mend a piece of clothing.  Dont get me wrong, I sincerely wish that I not only had the knowledge to do some of these things, but also the time management skills!
So, when a good friend who lives around the corner arrived on our doorstep a couple of weeks ago with her husband and FOUR young boys and cheerfully handed me a container of homemade strawberry freezer jam made from the strawberries they picked themselves from the strawberry patch they planted and grew themselves, I was flabergasted and frankly a bit jealous!  Not only could I eat strawberries and only strawberries every day until the day I die and be completely 100% happy and fulfilled, but I have ALWAYS wanted to grow a strawberry patch. And here she is growing strawberries around the corner quite successfully despite her FOUR boys (yes FOUR). I cant even seem to get showered and dressed before 10 in the morning with my three boys, let alone grow strawberries, pick them, and make jam from them! Anyway, I asked her how she made the jam, thinking it would be such a long and complicated process that I would never be able to tackle such a challenge.  When she told me all you do is mash up 4 cups of strawberries, add a cup and a half of sugar and a packet of freezer jam pectin from Walmart, and freeze, I could not believe it!  Now, this stuff she dropped off was gone in 2 days!  A couple days later I convinced my husband that we needed to go out to the local strawberry farm and pick some strawberries as a family. It was sooo much fun and the boys just LOVED it.  I took those strawberries and followed my friends simple directions (which were also on the back of the freezer jam pectin packet, say that 10 times fast!).  My jam turned out just as good as hers! In very little time! I was so amazed!!!! I have since bought 12 1 lb boxes of strawberries at Walmart on sale for .88 each and have made a couple more batches of jam with a few more to come yet tomorrow!  So, go on and give it a whirl! Its delicious, a great way to preserve strawberries which are currently in season, and tastes great on everything. So far I have dolloped it onto ice cream, pancakes, toast, and bread.

Beyond what it will do to our economy, at the end of the debate House GOP Leader John Boehner took to the floor and started reading from the 300 page amendment that the Democrats drafted and dropped on the legislatures at 3 AM, there was literally hundred of items to impose federal control over your life. Here are some highlights.
Want to replace a window? Not so fast. First you must pay for an appraisal of your house to measure its energy efficiency and receive calculations of both before and after the proposed change. Hey, it may be a great excuse for those guys trying to avoid putting in that big bay style window that the missus has been bugging you about.
Are you having a new house built? Back up, Skippy. This bill includes language that tells you exactly where you can put your electrical outlets.
Did you know that for one sort of appraisal service related to determining energy efficiency there is only one company you can use? Yup, it is right in there along with the name of the company. How is it that this one company managed to land the only contract to service 300 million Americans? Who is this company?
I wish I could answer those questions, but all of those provisions and more, Rep. Boehner went on for almost an hour citing them and still didnt get through the whole 300 pages, is not available. You see because of when the Democrats dropped this amendment at 3 AM the text of it is not available. So much for that transparency. The total bill runs on for more then 1500 pages and it controls every aspect of your life, from what type of car we will be able to produce and buy to what type of appliances you have in your house.
Under some of these provisions you wont be able to sell your house. Got your eyes and a quaint little place out the way and off the beaten path? Forget about it. By the time you went through the time and expense to get it up to the new code proposed in this legislation that little place in the woods will resemble something out the Jetsons.
So for those who were at work and getting ready for their weekend, and were simply tired of the wall-to-wall coverage of Michael Jackson, you came just one more step closer to being less free today then you were yesterday. And by the way, Congress has blown town for a two-week vacation. It is hard work turning a Republic into a Socialist state. This must be stopped in the Senate.
My biggest fear now, however, is if the Republicans couldnt stop this, a bill that will throw hundreds of thousands if not millions out of work as the companies they work for go belly up or leave the country and imposed what amounts to a national homeowners association on all of us, what chance do they have of stopping the nationalized health care.

Yes, Propecia actually works; FDA’s approval for this medication is a proof for its efficacy. Propecia gives high-degree results in treatment of male pattern baldness. When used, it is successful in controlling the disease in more than 85% cases. For the proper understanding of the reason behind high efficacy of Propecia, firstly we have to understand, “how does Propecia affect?”
Male pattern baldness, which is affecting millions around the world, is the result of malfunctioning of puberty hormone. This particular hormone is known as Testosterone which is secreted in the body of a male child to bring traits of masculinity. Testosterone also helps in growing moustaches and beard, but towards hair on head it has animosity. As soon as the process of achieving puberty is settled, testosterone is synthesized into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which clogs in hair follicles of the scalp and contracts them. Contracted hair follicles restrict supply of nutrients to the hair. Due to lack of nutrients hair falls easily and rapidly.
Propecia is a steroid type II (?) reductase, which acts on testosterone. Under the action of Propecia instead of converting in DHT, testosterone is converted into 5-Alpha DHT and 5-Alpha DHT does not produces any harm to the scalp. As a result, properly opened hair follicles hold and grow healthy hair.
In view of this fact, a medication which can target the functioning of Dihydrotestosterone would be beneficial in hair re-growth amongst men. Merck has developed an oral hair loss medication, Propecia which can effectively resolve the concern of loss of hair amongst men. It works by reducing the formation of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp, in this way facilitating healthy hair re-growth.

If you examine popular hair loss forums you will find that the #1 question asked is which hair loss product on the market is the best? The problem is there doesnt seem to be an easy answer to that question. Even hair loss experts offer no consensus when the question is presented to them.
But the experts are right, as it is not possible to find a perfect answer for that question, but yes one can ask the same question in a different way for getting a suitable answer, like which product would be best for my hair loss problem. Still this question is not quite specific to be answered easily, yet one can find an answer through trial and error.
