The Story of ONIONS! I had never heard this!!!

As far as I remember,  I already read this story about ONIONS. How  about you? I found it again in my friend's facebook wall.  The Green Thumb would love to  share it to the  readers of this blog. Whether this is true or not, it is still worth to read.

PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu... Many of the farmers and their families 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.

The Green Thumb's Musing

The Green Thumb's Musing is a  new site for my hobbies at home. My love for plants and flowers and gardening will be shared in this blog.  It will also include topics about home improvements and renovations, shopping for home and garden accessories, my ideas, thoughts and opinions of anything and also my daily experiences in life will be tackled here.

Sit back and relax and I will  try my best to update this blog from time to time! Have a lovely  day everyone!

Colorful Flowers

Enjoy your first day of the month!!

Jade Plant in Our window

Just sharing quick this Jade plant in our window in the living room...It is really growing so good and so fast. When I bought this 4 years ago, this has only some leaves in it that you can even count it!! Not it is fully grown-up and still keep on growing!!

those are also some my capo deMOnte collections from Italy!! bye for now..see you tomorrow again!!

Vegetable Time

As we visited my husband's twin sister last time, my attention was caught by this very beautiful vegetable flower in their terrace..after asking for permission, I took this photo..this is original pix, no retouching or fixing..oh well, I'm quite tired now..need to sleep for tomorrow's adventure!!! see yah!!

Domain Blog

I finally decided to purchased a domain for this blog. I purhased it last Tuesday Aug. 12, 2008..My husband finally have a credit card.. We don't use a credit card but since I figure out that really need one, I convinced my husband to get one...and we finally have it!!...I guess this is also good so I don't have to disturb other friends who already help me about blogging.. Sometimes it is just shameful to ask for friends some favor about purchasing a domain. Blogger.com don't accept paypal, so I guess this is better then.

Thanks to some friends out there who help me improve my blogging and all the tips and infos about blogging. I really appreciate everything and I mean it.. One day you will be rewarded in one way or another.

I know I still have to learn a lot in the blogosphere..at least I'm trying and learning new things here..but there are just things that I think I don't have talent..Thanks once again to friends who help me here!!

have a great weekend ahead!!

I love nature and gardening very much...So I decided to make another blog for this!!! hope to share a lot of things here especially about the beauty of nature and my garden of course!!! happy blogging again!!

enjoy your day!!
