Rosemary Oil and attacking those germs in your home!

Want to kill germs that are in the air of your home?  Everyday your family brings home germs and bacteria that they pickup all day.  An easy way to help eliminate them is as easy as boiling water.
Put a pan of water on the stove, add a few drops of Rosemary Oil, and let the oil permeate the air.

You can find Rosemary Oil at your local health food store and sometimes the grocery store.

If you don't like the smell of the Rosemary Oil add a little vanilla to it.

Using a PITCH FORK wrong on the Ranch!

Here is a "Told You So" story.  Thursday night I went down after my husband had fed all the horses
to feed the kittens.  Well the babies (Thor and Dove) looked like they wanted a little more hay.
So I picked up the pitch fork and got them a load of hay.  Problem was I turned when I threw it in their stall.  Yup, I hurt my back!  I have been using ice, heat and a lot of PRO Extreme on it.

My husband has told me for years, don't do that you will hurt yourself.  Guess I should listen, he was right!  But on the flip side he brings me food and drink and I have the remote!!!!  HMMM maybe a little rest isn't so bad.

SUNSET ON THE RANCH!

The sun setting over the Rocky Mountains last night was magnificent!  The reds were beautiful.
The weather has been beautiful, it was in the 60's yesterday and will be today.

We need to enjoy it as the cold and snow will return.

BMI FORMULA

1.  Multiply your weight in pounds times 703.
2.  Multiply your height (in inches) times your height (in inches)
3.  Divide the number in step 1 by the number in step 2 to get your BM!

Underweight:      less than 18.5
Normal weight:  18.5 to 24.9
Overweight:       25 to 29.9
Obese:              30 or higher
Morbid obesity:  40 or higher

Source:  National Institutes of Health and American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery.

For example if you weigh 148 pounds and five feet six inches tall, the calculation would look like this:

1.  148 pounds x 703=104,044
2.  66 x 66 =4,356
3.  104,044/4,356 = 23.9 BMI (normal)  or your SKINNY JEANS WILL FIT!

What is BMI ( BARELY MADE it IN your jeans) or a bad stomache?

The question is:  What is BMI?  To people my age it sounds like something you ate that didn't sit well or its that age old question from your grandmother "When was your last Bowel movement".  Ohh bad subject! Anyways it is a common question among people today "What is your BMI?"  Those with a good BMI answer quickly, however those of us who aren't sure just smile.

BMI is Body Mass Index.  It is a formula that you use to calculates your body fat.  Now I find that pretty funny that millions of dollars have been spent on scales, books and diets to get this horrible little number.  In my day if you couldn't fit in your skinny jeans and needed the fat ones, than your fat index
(your belly) was up!  We didn't need a formula for that.  Other ways to see if your Fat Index was up, was to try and get an honest opinion on the question "Do these pants make my butt look big?"

Anyways there is a very easy formula I found that will give you that answer for your BMI.  Than when you are at gatherings for business or with friends and the question comes up, you can proudly
answer what your BMI is.
