GraFFiTi

On the internet nothing is illegal, its all e-legal…

I’m so old that, when I was in school, history was called current affairs.

Don’t accept your dog’s admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and the world laughs louder.

I always give waiters a tip, but they never seem to appreciate my advice.

Nothing in the world is more expensive than a girl who’s totally free for the weekend.

The toughest part of a diet isn’t watching what you eat. It’s watching what other people eat.

Never make the same mistake twice… there are so many new ones to make!

One day, your life will flash in front of your eyes… Make it worth watching.

Worry is the darkroom in which ‘negatives’ are developed.

MBA vs BCOM student

This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition organized in Britain and this joke was sent by an Indian……

A MBA and a Bcom go on a camping trip, set up their tent,and fell asleep.

Some hours later, the Bcom wakes his MBA friend. ” look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

The MBA replies, “I see millions of stars.”

“What does that tell you?”

The MBA ponders for a minute.

“Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.

Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.

Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you?”

The Bcom is silent for a moment, then speaks.

“Practically…Someone has stolen our tent”.

It’s always a good time to CHANGE!

The first step toward getting somewhere
is to decide that you’re not going to stay where you
are.

You’re a product of your environment.
So choose an environment that will best develop you
toward your goals.

Analyze your life in terms of your environment.
Are the things around you helping you toward your
success or are they holding you back?

Your world today is a living _expression of how you
are using and have used your mind.
It’s something that you can change at any time.

You don’t have to remain a captive of your
environment.
Don’t say “If I could change, I would change,”
say “I can change, and I will change.”

Foreign language!

A mother mouse and a baby mouse are walking along, when all
of a sudden, a cat attacks them. The mother mouse goes, “BARK!” and the cat runs away.

“See?” says the mother mouse to her baby.

“Now do you see why it’s important to learn a foreign language?”

BAD BREATH: Parsley leaves are rich in chlorophyll, nature’s own deodorizer. Chew some leaves regularly and your breath will remain fresh. You can chew some cardamom seeds to sweeten your breath.

BRUISES: Slice a raw onion and place over the bruise. Do not apply this to broken skin.

CONSTIPATION (IN ADULTS): Take apple pectin. Make sure you’re getting enough Folic Acid in your diet. Drinking ginger tea will help start a bowel movement.

DAMAGED, DRY HAIR: A nourishing conditioner for dry or damaged hair which can be used for all hair types: Separate the white of an egg from the yolk, whip it to a peak. Add 1 Tbls. water to the yolk and blend until the mixture is creamy. Then mix the white and yolk together. Wet your hair with warm water, remove the excess moisture, and apply the mixture to your scalp with your fingertips. Massage gently until the froth is worked into your scalp, then rinse the hair with cool water. Keep applying the mixture until it is used up and then rinsed until all of the egg is washed away.

DANDRUFF: Pour distilled white vinegar onto the hair, as close to the scalp as you can manage; massage into the scalp; and allow to dry for several minutes before washing as usual. Repeat daily until the dandruff disappears, usually within a few days.

DARK CIRCLES AROUND EYES: Make a paste out of 1 tsp. tomato juice, 1/2 tsp. lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder, and 1 tsp. of flour. Apply around eyes. Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing.

DEPRESSION: 3/4 cup of cooked spinach a day is enough to give dramatic relief from depression if you are deficient in B vitamins.

DIARRHEA: Eat boiled sweet potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper before bedtime to cure chronic diarrhea.

FACIAL CLEANSER: Mix 2 Tbls. cornstarch, 2 Tbls. glycerin, and 1/2 cup water until smooth. Heat in a small pan placed in a water bath inside another pan. Heat until thick and clear; it will have the consistency of pudding. Do not boil. Cool completely, Use in place of soap to cleanse your skin. (If mixture is too thick, you may thin it by adding a little water, 1 Tbls. at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.)

FATIGUE: Take a glass of grapefruit and lemon juice in equal parts to dispel fatigue and general tiredness after a day’s work.

GUM IN HAIR: Soak the gum-coated hair in Coke® and it should wipe out easily.

HEADACHE: Eat 10-12 almonds, the equivalent of two aspirins, for a migraine headache. Almonds are far less likely to upset the stomach.

HICCUPS: Drink 1/2 glass water, slowly. Keep a tsp. of sugar in your month and suck slowly. Suck 2-3 small pieces of fresh ginger. This helps in hiccups which keep occurring again and again. OR Take a large mouthful of water with out swallowing, plug both ears, and slowly begin to swallow the water. Unplug your ears and you’re hiccup free! (Submitted by Mrs T. Falkmann)

MUCUS IN COUGH: Pour 1 cup boiling water over 1/2 tsp. each of ginger, ground cloves, and cinnamon. Filter. Sweeten with 1 tsp. honey and drink.

OBESITY:Mix lime juice with honey and water; drink a glass of this every morning. Mix 3 tsp. lime juice, 1/4 tsp. black pepper, 1 tsp. honey, and 1 cup water; drink a glass a day for 3 months. Mix 1 tsp. lime juice with 1 cup water and drink each morning. Eat a tomato before breakfast.

OILY SKIN: For oily skin, mix 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, 1 egg white, 1 Tbls. lemon juice, and 1/2 cup mashed apple into a smooth paste. Apply to face and leave on 15 minutes. Rinse.

OVERWEIGHT: Effective at getting rid of fat, drink up to 3 cups of green tea daily. Regular tea can also be used with a lesser effect.

PAIN RELIEVER: Mix 3 Tbls. of honey in boiled water and drink. Honey has natural pain-relieving powers.

SMELLY FEET: Soak feet in strong tea for 20 minutes every day until the smell disappears. To prepare your footbath, brew two tea bags in 2 1/2 cups of water for 15 minutes and pour the tea into a basin containing two liters of cool water.

SMOKING HABIT: Lick a little salt with the tip of your tongue whenever you feel the urge to smoke. This is said to break the habit within 1 month.

SORE THROAT: Mix 1 tsp. lime juice and 1 Tbls. honey. Swallow tiny amounts slowly 2-3 times a day.

STOMACH ACIDITY:Drink coconut water 3-4 times a day. Have a plateful of watermelon and/or cucumber every hour.

WARTS: Try taping a slice of garlic to the wart. Be sure to first protect the surrounding skin with petroleum jelly.

WEAK NAILS: To strengthen and shine nails, combine 2 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. castor oil, and 1 tsp. wheat germ oil and mix thoroughly. Pour into bottle. Shake before using. To use, rub a small amount into your nails. Leave on 3-5 minutes and tissue off. Follow up with more plain castor oil, if desired.
