February Book Club
For February's Book Club we chatted about Escape from Rwanda: A true story of faith, hope, and survival by John Yves Bizimana. What inspirational story about a boy and his enduring trials with the assistance of "angels" (as Paula states). If you were unable to make the meeting, and you would like to share your comment, please just click "comment" at the end of this post. If you haven't read the book, you still have time to read it (a quick read) and post your comment as well!
We also discussed optional books for the future. If you have any suggestions, please email me at mariebindrup@gmail.com and I will add your suggestion to the list. Please make sure that the book is appropriate for a RS activity.
Our book for March is....In the Company of Cheerful Ladies: The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency Volume 6 by McCall Smith. The discussion for this book will be on Thursday, March 3rd at Marie Bindrup's home- 171 Coyote Hills Street. Even though you may not be able to attend, you can read the book and post a comment or send me an email with your comment and we can share them during the discussion. Happy reading!

Bleach vs. Peroxide
A friend emailed this to me, what a great FOOD STORAGE ITEM!
Clorox vs Peroxide VERY interesting and inexpensive.
This was written by Becky Ransey of Indiana
(a doctor's Wife), and I want to share it with you.
She was over recently for coffee and smelled the
bleach I was using to clean my toilet and counter tops.
This is what she told me.
'I would like to tell you of the benefits of that Plain
little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store.
What does bleach cost?
>My husband has been in the medical field for over 36
years, And most doctors don't tell you about peroxide.
Have you Ever smelled bleach in a doctor's office? NO!!!
Why?
Because it smells, and it is not healthy!
Ask the nurses who work in the doctor's offices,
and ask them if they use bleach at home.
They are wiser and know better!
Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's?
It's chlorine, folks!
And it was used to kill our Troops.
>
>Peroxide was invented during WWI in the 20's.
It was used to save and help cleanse the needs
of our troops and hospitals.
Please think about this:
1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with
the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do
it when I bathe.)
No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without
expensive pastes.
Use it instead of mouthwash.
2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to
keep them free of germs.
3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to
kill germs and leave a fresh smell.
Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or
spray it on the counters.
4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour
peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.
5. I had fungus on my feet for years until I sprayed
a
50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them
(especially the toes) every night and let dry.
6. Soak any infections or cuts in
3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day.
My husband has seen gangrene that would not heal with
any medicine but was healed by soaking in peroxide.
7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide
and Water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without Harming your septic
system like bleach or most other Disinfectants will.
8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your
50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus.
It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria.
Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into
a tissue.
9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to
a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for
ten minutes several times a day.
The pain will lessen greatly.
10. And of course, if you like a natural look to your
hair, spray the 50/50 solution on your wet hair after a shower and comb it through.
You will not have the peroxide-burnt blonde hair like
the hair dye packages but more natural highlights if your hair is a light brown,
reddish, or dirty blonde.
It also lightens gradually, so it's not a drastic change.
11. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help
get rid of boils, fungus, or other skin infections.
12. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach
to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them.
If there is blood on clothing, pour it directly on the
soiled spot.
Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold
water.
Repeat if necessary.
13. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors.
There is no smearing, which is why I love it so much
for this.
14. Another place it's great is in the bathroom, if someone
has been careless & has peed on the floor around the toilet & it's begun
to smell of urine.
Just put some peroxide in a spray bottle & spray.
In the blink of any eye all the smell will be gone &
the bacteria eliminated!
I could go on and on.
It is a little brown bottle no home should be without!
With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's
a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner! '
This information really woke me up.
I hope you gain something from it, too.
Pass it on! Clorox vs peroxide VERY interesting and inexpensive
