A Little Comedy Can Go A Long Way..hehehe

But sometimes the only way to deal with it is to look at it in a lighter vein. We mourn the loss of the following businesses:

A local bra shop has gone bust.

A mining company has gone under.

A solvent ( extraction) co has become insolvent.

A manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation.

A dog kennels has had to call in the retrievers.

An origami book company has folded.

An aerial installation company has called in the receivers.

A key company has gone into lockdown.

A watchsmith has wound down and called time.

An ice cream shop has had its assets frozen.

A shoe factory has been soled and employees given the boot.

The Heinz factory has been canned as they couldn’t ketchup with orders.

The tarmac company has reached the end of the road.

The bread company has run out of dough.

The laundrette has been taken to the cleaners.

And finally,

….the dry cleaners and ironing service have run out of steam.

The post The pandemic has closed down so many businesses, its not funny. appeared first on Good News!.

America has known about lemons since at least the 16th century, when Christopher Columbus brought them to what is now Florida. Lemons (and limes) were very valuable at the time for the protection they offered against scurvy. During the Gold Rush in California, lemons were so popular and in such unbelievably high demand that people were willing to pay the unheard price of $1 each. This would be expensive even for today, but imagine that in the 1800’s!

Although high levels of vitamin C and alkalizing effects on the body are no doubt among the great reasons to always keep lemons around (or to plant your own tree) these sour fruits have a type of antioxidant known as flavonoids that can fight inflammation, heart disease, and cancer, according to the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.

The Ancient Egyptians thought that drinking the juice or eating lemons would protect you from poison. Although there are many health benefits to lemons and their juice, protection from poison might not be one of them, but they will certainly help to protect you from disease and infection, which can save your life. They are also powerful cleaning and beauty agents, which are almost as important, right?!

Well, although we might not have quite a million things listed here, it might seem like it. This list contains valuable information about how you can use lemons for your health, for cleaning, for beauty treatments, and more!
