Random Do’s and Don’ts for the Yuletide season
Do not:
1. Hang mistletoe (or anything that suggests “kissing allowed”) in your partners abode especially if he/she resides in a “high traffic” space
2. Feel low because you think everyone has it better than you. That person is human after all and he/she would die one day.
Oh and looks can be deceiving as well!
3. Forget the reason for the season, it is a beckon of hope and celebration of the relentless love God has for (all) sinners.
Share the good news!
You should spread warmth and love to family, friends and associates (even those you hate)
4. Keep complaining of how bad things are! What have you done to fix it?
Do:
1. Sing a happy song, dance and laugh. If you can read this, you are alive be thankful.
2. Return a friendly greeting. Be courteous and polite; what goes around comes around.
good people still exist.
3. Ask a question when you are not sure of what it is. Assumptions can lead to certain death and that’s a fact!
4. Say it if it is important, listen to the “horses” version and accept the truth. On the other hand, keep it to yourself if it will not have a positive impact.
Know your ingredients…
1. Phosphoric acid: used as an additive to acidify foods and beverages. It’s the stuff responsible for the acidity of soda!
Other uses include; for the removal of rust, dental cement, electrolyte in phosphoric acid fuel cells,
removal of hard water stains in construction trades and as a pH balance in cosmetic industries.
2. Gelatin: a colorless slightly yellow transparent brittle protein formed by boiling the skin, bones and connective tissues of animals (especially pigs).
Gelatin can be found in: cake icing, glazes and cream.
Also in shampoo, hair conditioners and lipstick. Dairy products, canned hams and nail formula. Other uses include: clarification of wine and photography.
3. Xanthan gum: fermenting corn sugar with the xanthomonas campestris bacteria makes xanthan gum. The result is a slimy goo that is then dried up and ground to a fine white powder. This common bacterium is responsible for frequent outbreaks of dark spots on the leaves of vegetables. It is harmless to humans. Xanthan gum is used in salad dressings, dairy products and cosmetics.
4. Sorbitol: is an artificial sweetener that has about one third less calories than sugar.
It is a popular chewing gum ingredient that is sought for its ability to bring down cab count. Sorbitol can also be found in: diet soda (soda again?), toothpaste, mouthwash, cigarettes, laxatives and tobacco
5. Carmine: aliases include; carmanic acid, cochineal, Natural Red 4, crimson lake. It consists of a mixture of crushed female beetles. The part of the insect that contains the most carmine is the abdomen (it houses fertilized eggs).
Carmine is used to artificially dye foods red, purple and pink.
Carmine can be seen in fruit juices, energy drinks, berry punches, ice-cream, yoghurt, candy fillings, chewing gum, eye shadow, lipstick, powdered drinks, blush, eyeliner, ketchup, artist paint, crimson ink and cloth dye.
