Little Hawk, those mineral salts are based on an alum, an aluminium (aluminum) salt, and so very similar in effect to the other sort of deodorant in effect. I've checked every label I've come across, and not one did not have an alum in it.

Stickers on fruit may be mildly annoying, but it's a very simple way of labelling something that doesn't need any packaging.

I actually once spotted a 6-inch square moulded plastic bubble containing a single small orange, labelled "Citrus Fruit Snack, produce of Spain".

I never rake or otherwise remove leaves. They are best left to become mulch which feeds the lawn. All you need is a mulch mower which chops them into small bits.

Here in Scarborough Maine there is an ordinance that says you must signal before changing lanes.

Got a State Law that says that out here, Kendall. Folks still save the bulbs in their turn signals.

Penny and L.H. ... there is a deodorant to be found that is alum free

Dessert Essence

It can be found here in Maritiem Canada at any of the Atlantic Superstore chains ... specifically in the natural products section.

I understand that it's still on the books. In San Francisco, it's illegal to shoot rabbits from a cable car.

I love my mp3 player....I go on long walks every night...and it helps to keep the boredom at bay....and it is much better than having a stack of cassette tapes and three or four packets of spare batteries in my backpack....

Don, that conjures up an awful lot of bizarre images. How many rabbits are there in SF, anyway?

Er............electric bread makers?
Chocolate fountains?

Since the name "fascism" is derived from the fasces that used to be carried by the Roman lictors I am doubtful that it would be right to call fascism modern.

I had a Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it" moment when I accidentally ran across this one. Warning, this is not for the squeamish, don't view this if you are about to eat!

Well...Richard, the fasces was a symbol of the Roman REPUBLIC, hardly a dictatorial state.

The symbolism of this bundle of birch rods was twisted by the likes of Mussolini, and later the British Union of Fascists.

Smuckers markets a ready-made peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Because spreading PB and J on bread is suck a chore. Oscar Mayer markets a microwave hotdog on a bun. Because micro-waving a hot dog and putting it on a seperate bun is such a chore. I'm surprised they haven't come up with pre-buttered toast - just stick it in the microwave and it's done. Saves you valuable seconds that you would otherwise spend in putting the butter on the bread yourself.

Now that is just damned scarry RangerSteve ... is this where we have come to.

Microwaves ... that is something we don't really need. We don't have one.
