lol...yeah, i thought it was the smoke, but then there would be no point in having a citranella candle when you could have a regular candle, lol. who knows - i'm not an expert in this area, obviously.
FYI... Citronella ok, so the citronella candle pretty much has nothing to do with the scent, from my interpretation here... Citronella oil is one of the essential oils obtained from the leaves and stems of different species of Cymbopogon. The oil is used extensively as a source of perfumery chemicals such as citronellal, citronellol and geraniol. These chemicals find extensive use in soap, perfumery, cosmetic and flavouring industries throughout the world. Citronella oil is also a renowned plant-based insect repellent, and has been registered for this use in the United States since 1948. The United States Environmental Protection Agency? considers oil of citronella as a biopesticide with a non-toxic mode of action. Research also shows that citronella oil has strong antifungal properties, and is effective in calming barking dogs.
hmmm....who'd a thunk it?...lol thanks for looking that up - I now have a new wrinkle on my brain, thanks to you! :mrgreen:
my bad, i didn't mean it that way. i was saying as part of the function of this site. there are posts, there's a chat... any particular reason there isn't a built in IM system? just wondering.
hey, the brain is like every other active part of the body, gotta keep it movin so it doesn't get flabby and useless. hahahaaaa!!!
oh wow, that's tight. "the old country", eh? so, and pardon if i am showing my ignorance here, how does your connection and stuff work. are you beaming through satellite or is there some kind of digital grid laid out from village to village?
rofl no the connection is actually pretty good. i mean it's not all rural here.we got a handful of stores,too.lol =)
ok. so a village of 5K isn't rural. sounds like an interesting infrastructure the gov't there is running. does your particular village have a specific output? like natural resource?
im not sure how exactly everything is managed but it's like a mini town.hehe. the most necessary things we all got here and the closest town isnt far.
oh ok. sounds like a winner. i am sure there is a parallel of some sort to how we do it over here. just the distances may be different. like when you say the closest town isn't far, exactly how far are you talking? 30 minute drive? 15 minute walk?
