	10/19/09 - NNHS Newsletter - You Really Got Me “A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by One after one; the sound of rain, and bees Murmuring; the fall of rivers, winds and seas, Smooth fields, white sheets of water, and pure sky - I've thought of all by turns, and still I lie Sleepless...” - William Wordsworth, “To Sleep” (07 Apr 1770 – 23 Apr 1850)

       From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 10/18/09 - "REUNION NAME BADGES, KEY CHAINS AND WINE":

       Phil Hammond  ('64 - of UT) mentioned the name badges, so I thought I would show you what yours would have looked like, had you been able to attend.

He also mentioned (the wine and gift key chains).  The key chain metal looks like brass in the photo, but it really is shiny like silver.

The labels on the wine bottles are difficult to read, as the text was necessarily small. So, images of the labels are included.

					OH, WOW!!!

   Thank you so much, David! I've posted your images where I think they most logically belong - on the introductory page:

      From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 10/18/09 - "Onions":

I just might have to try this one!!!!!!

Got this one from a friend. It has been checked out on snopes and there is no pro or con but may be worth a try.

Forget the spicy candles and herbs to freshen the smell in your house! Try onions!

Onions fight flu virus

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was a doctor who visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn’t believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.

I heard this story from a hairdresser in AZ. She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick.

The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home. If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere. Try it and see what happens.

If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better. If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case.

Whatever, what have you to lose? Just a few bucks on onions!!!!!

      HEY, it couldn't hurt! I think I will try this (but I think I'll keep my yummy candles, too)! Thanks, Shari!

  From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 10/18/09 - "PYREX_CAUTION!!!!!! SOOO TRUE!!!"

   WAIT a minute!!! YOU?!? YOURSELF?!?   YIKESARONI!!!  I'm so sorry, Joyce! Grab the vitamin E capsules!

YES!!!!!  ME!!!! MYSELF!!!!! And YIKES is the correct word!!!  Thank you for caring, and thank God for taking care of me, no physical damage, just a huge lesson learned.  This will teach me to pay more attention to email warnings.  It actually passed through my mind when I placed the squash in the pan....and then again when I put the pan in the oven but did I heed that inner warning....NO!!  Pyrex just looks so clean and you can serve in it as well.  I'll just have to use Corning (I hope it's safe) or maybe some LeCreuset for replacements that can serve a dual purpose. 

... First my knees, then my mind and now my Pyrex, what's next to bite the dust?  LOL

   But - but - I thought that warning only applied to "new" Pyrex - you know, purchased in the last 25 years!

That's good to know but this dish was my Mother's and I pushed mental warning aside cause I just assumed that it was surely over 25 years old.  I'm
a scaredycat type person anyway, I'll just use the Pyrex for non-oven purposes.  Once bitten, twice shy!!

   I'm still just horribly aghast, Joyce! Take care of yourself - and thanks so much for letting us know!

       From Dave Spriggs ('64) of VA - 10/18/09 - "      Miss Kanter's (Hampton HS - '55) Note":
