Prunes and Bones


It is so comforting to know that one of my favourite food is doing my bones some good! I absolutely love Sunsweet Pitted Prunes and would always include one or two in my smoothie.

However, what about their sugar content?
And wait, they contain oxalates too. But if you're generally healthy then it is not so much of a concern.
Moderation is the key..

I had a 5 mins panic episode when I tried to remove some hangings from the door (wood finish).
The double sided tape was very old, and wouldn't come off! And scraping with a knife was useless. Yikes! And I needed to hang some stuff up for my wedding! Yikes yikes yikes!

Fortunately there was the Internet. And Google. :)

WD-40 works!!
Just soak the area with it, and after a mo, wipe it off. No marks on my door!
Hehe.. after that, clean off the area with wet cloth. :D

Thank God for the Internet!

*another forumer suggested heating with a hair dryer instead.
I've not tried this, because WD-40 worked!
