Simple, yet effective

Another interesting tip I found out from my Aunt! Are you desperate to lose weight? here is something that goes along with your dieting to help loose weight - especially in the tummy area.
Every morning, after your have finished your daily chores, and before you eat or drink anything, squeeze a small lemon, add a teaspoon of honey and a glass of luke-warm water. Mix them up and drink the warm sweetened lemonade. You should be able to see the difference in a month.

Note:
You can have more honey, but moderation is the key
Do not use treated/pasteurized honey - honey once heated breaks up losing its qualities
Do not use hot water for the same reason.

Do not believe me? You can search for it on the internet and you will find plenty of proof. This is supposedly an ayurvedic treatment!

A friend in need...

Everybody I know has grown up to the proverb: A friend in need is a friend in deed. For a long time, I did not understand why a friend who was in need was a real friend! And then one day, it dawned upon me - English is a funny language ;-)

Anyways, does this mean a friend who is not there in need is a friend only in word? Even more scary - If I have no needs, do I not get to have any friends?
