Practical and natural!
Welcome to my Donna’s did you know diary for this month and pleased to share the following with you.
Here’s what I learned for this month.
- The difference between Tylenol and Panadol?
Medically nothing.
Tylenol is manufactured in North America
And Panadol is manufactured in the UK.
- Want to find ways to stretch your laundry soap liquid or your dish soap liquid?
Easy! Just dilute with a bit too water.
Not too much however.
Just remember that as a whole, both laundry soap and liquid soap are both very soapy in content.
So no harm could come from adding a bit of water.
- What’s this about down trodden Mondays?
Absolutely just a false belief.
No, Mondays are no better nor worse than any other day!
- And about thumb prints?
Well, I recently found out that our individual thumb prints are unique.
Your thumb print is different than mine and so on.
- An important tip when someone appears to be choking!
Give them a morsel of bread to eat.
The hard morsel of bread will push down the offending bit of food that is causing you to choke.
- And what’s this about taking your cough syrup?
According to some pharmacists, you should not take cough syrup for more than 7 days in a row.
- And it’s all about the rocking chair!
Babies simply love to be rocked by their moms especially when they are being nursed.
- If you have ever dropped your I device or hearing aid into water then you can certainly revive it!
And how?
Fetch a small bowl of uncooked rice.
Make sure that it is at room temperature.
Then gently place your I device or hearing aid in the middle of your rice.
Leave it be until all of the water has been drained out of it.
Presto! Your I device or hearing aid is as good as gold!
- Some trivia about the magnificent Albatross bird!
A few facts about this amazing bird include:
* Average Lifespan in the Wild: 30 years
* Albatross Has the Largest Wingspan of Any Living Bird
* The albatross can fly 500 miles in a day and maintain speeds of nearly 80 mph for eight hours straight without even having to flap its wings.
* Part of the secret is locking elbow joints, which enable the bird to keep its wings extended for long periods at no energy cost from its muscles.
* They Can Go Years Without Touching Land
* They Can Live and Raise Chicks Into Their 60s
* They Mate for Life (With Some Wiggle Room)
* They Can Smell Food In the Water From 12 Miles Away
* Finally, these amazing birds are at risk of Extinction!
- About earth quakes?
I recently learned that the first shock is more pronounced than the after shock.
