LEE MAKING A RUN TO THE TOP


With just 9 games left in the bowl season Lee has made a run towards the top of the standings in the Mickey's Place College Football Pick em Contest. Lee has pulled withing 2 games of Keith, of the final games left Keith & Lee have 4 games different and Keith does hold the tie breaker over Lee since he was leading the contest before the bowls started. I did go down to Wal-Mart this morning and I was all set to give there donuts another chance but they didn't have none ready so I had to go over to Dunkin Donuts and get some. It is very cold here in Colonial Heights this morning and it's only suppose to get to 32 today and drop down to around 18 tonight, well at least it isn't suppose to snow in the next few days. MICKEY

DENTAL TIPS
Drink brewed tea -- and drink it straight up. If you load it up with sugar and lemon, your teeth will feel it.

Snack on natural stain removers, like apples, celery, and carrots.


For most vegetables and fruit, any type of cooking lowers the nutrient content. So for now, a good rule of thumb is: Less is more.

Leave skin on whenever possible. Many fruits and vegetables hold most of their antioxidants in their skins. Simply wash well before cooking/eating.

Lightly steam vegetables instead of boiling, sauteing, or roasting. Better yet, go raw with a fresh salad.

If you prefer to blanch your veggies, dip them into boiling water for the least amount of time possible.

The exception is the red tomato. Cooking actually increases its level of lycopene -- an antioxidant thought to help prevent certain types of cancer, heart disease, and vision loss.
