TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, December 15, 2010

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Getting two cavities filled is not a good way to start a
Wednesday morning (or any morning, for that matter). But
alas, it had to be done, so now I sit here with a numb
lower lip and water all over my shirt from trying to take
a sip from my water bottle. Good thing I can hide out in
my office for a couple of hours before I have to make
myself presentable to be out in public!

Enjoy!
Melissa

is located on Wadmalaw Island just outside Charleston, South

a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Herbal tea is not really tea, but a tea-like drink made
from flowers, fruits and herbs. True herbal teas do not
contain tea (Camellia Sinesis) leaves.
