We'll have to see if Thomas or Penni remember the theme.

DOES THE DROUGHT HAVE YOU STRESSED? Residents of the Washington, D.C., area have been suffering one of the worst droughts in recent history. Fear not, however: the Department of Health and Human Services has guidelines for easing the "emotional stress" brought on by the current dry spell. These "drought-related stress-reduction activities" include: --"When brushing your teeth, you can tune in and focus more on the actual brushing, and not what was once the din of the continually flowing water in the background, which surprising[ly] can be a very subtle source of agitation." --"You can commune with nature by finding more water conservation methods for watering your plants. For example, by not exposing those plants to the intense rays of the sun during the day, but instead partially shading them, allows you to save water. At the same time, you are spending time communing with nature and learning how growth occurs." --"Another way to conserve water while simultaneously reducing stress is to resist the reflexive action of automatically flushing the toilet if you awaken at night and there is only liquid waste. Simply wait and flush in the morning. Believe it or not, flushing itself can add to the stress of awakening in the middle of the night because of the noise element." And here I thought we were going to all go mad over the drought. Isn't it good to know that the Imperial Federal Government is looking out for you? Our benevolent government thinks of everything. boortz.com
