WATER COOLER CONVERSATION

Did you know…that blue jeans were originally named after the city of Genoa, Italy? The old name for Genoa was “geane”…when it began exporting sturdy twill cloth to England in the 1500’s.

If you missed us talking about this yesterday….here it is again: Google is now out with a new feature……similar to 411. However…this is free!!! It uses a computer voice interface and asks you where and what you’re looking for. Try it: 1-800-GOOG-411 (1 800 – 466 – 4411). …and that’s not all with Google. They’ve also launched Google Ocean. This will allow you to virtually explore all the world’s ocean landscapes by clicking on icons that allow you to see what’s on top of and underneath the waters.

The CEO’s of the Royal Bank and Scotiabank both took pay cuts in 2008 – that was reported by the banks on Tuesday. The Scotiabank CEO who made just over $10 million back in 2007….only made $7.5 million last year.


Danny & Laura’s Handy Tips to Make Your Life Easier!
Remove red stains ....wet them with lukewarm water, then add a layer of table salt. Rub and let set for a few minutes. Pull the fabric tight across a heat-proof bowl and secure it with a rubber band. Place in the sink and pour boiling water through the stain from a height of 3 feet.

For drying wet nail polish quickly...dip your hands into ice cold water or spray your nails with a cooking oil like PAM

Thanks to William and Jan Dyer for sending in these.....

If you have a bad cold and can’t take any medication.....mix a coffee cup of hot water with 1 tablespoon of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Drink as often as you want. This is a natural neo-citrane.

If you have a sore throat or laryngitis take a coffee cup full of ginger ale. Heat in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes. Drink the ginger ale warm. Something in the warm ginger soothes the throat and clears up the laryngitis.

Talk to you tomorrow!
