advice, opera, friends, family
...
my sis just moved into a new place and she's feeling a bit down and overwhelmed, so i thought i'd make her a cd she can listen to while unpacking and organizing stuff... well that's all nice and dandy right? right... except she requested an uplifting and a cheerful one... hmm... let's see what i got... the doors, the cure, kmfdm, nitzer ebb? i don't think so... i can't send her the sound of music!!!! that's way too lame, even for me.... so... any cheerful and uplifting suggestions from my opera friends?

advice, roses, flowers, tips
want your cut flowers looking great longer?
mix one part water with 2 parts your choice of 7up, sprite or similar lemony and overly sweet soda (sprite works for me)
this also works well on reviving roses from the droopy head syndrom, takes them 2 days to recover but the result is well worth the wait
important, change the water/soda mixture daily (or every other day at the most) and don't for get to trim the stems!
