Tips On Caring For Your Valentine's Day Flowers
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we thought this would be a great time to share a few tips on caring for cut flowers.Imagine it's Valentine's Day and you've just received a glorious bunch of roses. You put them in your best vase and you stand back to admire them. You'd love to make them last as long as you possibly can, but other than keeping them out of direct sunlight, you're not sure what to do.Here are some tips on how to extend the shelf life of your roses:
- Remove the roses from the vase and put them in a temporary container.
- Clean the vase by washing it thoroughly in water with household bleach.
- Fill the vase with fresh water and add a half teaspoon of household bleach for each litre (16 fluid ounces) of water.
- Remove your roses from their temporary container and lay them flat on a counter top.
- Remove any leaves which will show below the waterline in the vase.
- Cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) from the base of each stem immediately before placing it in the vase. This removes any air bubbles.
- Don't place roses in drafts or direct sunlight, or near fruit, heaters, TVs or refrigerators.
- Change the water daily to extend the vase life of your roses.

Armchair Millionaire Community Bulletin: Apartment Dweller? Learn How to Protect Your Stuff
A 2003 poll by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America found that 64 percent of renters had no renter's insurance. This is despite the fact that, according to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the average renter's insurance premium in 2002 was just $186. Renters tend to opt out buying rent for two reasons. First, many people mistakenly think that their landlords' insurance would cover any damage to their property. In fact, the landlords' insurance would cover their own property, but not their tenants' property.
Second, many renters assume that they simply don't have enough valuable to make insurance worthwhile. But take a good look around your apartment. That home computer, TV, stereo, CD collection, furniture and kitchen items can all add up to a substantial sum, even if you live in a one-room apartment. Just consider this story from the Armchair Millionaire community:"Years ago, a roommate and I were renting an apartment together. We were both...
