NOW that I have your attention ... I got this from a friend tonight and had to jump up and see for myself if it were true. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE.

Right on the top of the box it says improved box with lock ends---I never knew this!!! DID YOU KNOW THIS.

Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, 'Press here to lock end'. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can't count the number of times the Saran warp roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.

had to go check, and sure enough! We don't use much foil or plastic wrap around here, but we do HAVE some and they DO have the latching sides. Thanks... too neat, will be anxious to share this...lol.

Now, look at your ear lobes in a mirror (without earrings on/in). Do you have lines (creases) on your lobes? Lines/creases indicate high cholestrol.
Now look at your fingernails. Along the nailbed, from moon to tip, do you see any valleys/indentations? If so, you possibly had some stress on your heart. If 1/4 inch equals a month (growing rate of fingernails), you can figure when the heart was under stress. Also, white spots mean something, as do ridging and lengthwise black discolorations. Then there's the shape of the moon to consider, and the colors of the nails and the flesh underneath. Of course, none of this is as cool as finding out about the holders in the foil and plastic wrap boxes.... which is just too cool!

Oh this is a great thread, JJ...Hope more things are added...I'm drumming on my brain for ideas...but you gals all ready know sooo much!

Gims that is so interesting about the creases on the earlobe. I just noticed that this month, and have been starting to put cream on my earlobe thinking I'm getting wrinkles there! High cholestrerin, huh? Could be. I started a fruit diet today.

I've always heard that one way to tell if you were dehydrated was to pinch the skin on the top of your arm/hand and if it stands up when you let go, you are.

If you pull down your bottom lid, and your blood along the lower ridge is more pink than red, you could be anemic.

What else?

If your tongue is white rather than pink..you have something going on in your body..some kind of irregularity or illness. My grandmother swore by this and she was usually right!

Well, I open my mouth one day and my tongue was "Green" and was so upset only to find out I had eaten to many pickles . LOL . I guess that doesn't belong here . I have heard that about the tongue before if it is white these is something wrong in your body .

Some good knowlege here though .

Well, I've got lots of fingernail ridges. I noticed that a while ago and wondered why. Now I know. Thanks.

If your poop floats thats good it means not too much fat in your diet. If it sinks, then watch the fat in the diet. Its better to have floaters.
