One thing I forgot to give thanks for at Thanksgiving

Advil Cold & Sinus. Yep the dreaded Bethany flu is going around and I am one of the lucky first people to get it. So I have been poppin' pills like a mad man and haven't really had a lot of time or energy and will to update. So instead of doing a full fledged post I'll just share this with you. I though that since Halloween in right around the corner, and people are generally getting lazier this would be of some use to someone so enjoy!! (Taken from www.ehow.com) The scary part is that the tip at the bottom means someone actually tried this!

How to Carve a Fancy Pumpkin With a Dremel
So, you want a fancy carved pumpkin, but you don't want to spend a lot of time on it? Welcome to the age of technology. An electric dremel tool and a few cookie cutters will have your pumpkin up and glowing in a flash.
	Steps:
1.	Select a pumpkin with a smooth surface.
2.	Draw a pattern on a separate piece of paper. Some suggestions are bats, skulls, spiders and ghosts. Or find cookie cutters in scary shapes to use as an outline. (Image 1)
3.	Cut away the top part surrounding the stem, and remove any seeds and pulp from inside the pumpkin. (Image 2)
4.	Draw the pattern on the surface of the pumpkin, and cut around the outline with a sharp knife. Alternatively, press the cookie cutter of choice into the orange skin to create the outline. (Image 3)
5.	Use the dremel drill to remove the areas that are to be completely cut out -eyes, mouth, nose, etc.
6.	Remove the orange part of the skin inside the outline with the dremel tool. A dremel tool resembles a bulky electric toothbrush but is actually a small drilling tool. There are many types of attachments available for this versatile piece of equipment, including high-speed cutting bits, saw blades and drilling tips. (Image 4)
7.	Select the bit (tip) of the dremel tool based on the finished effect you desire. The deeper you cut into the pumpkin's flesh, the more light will shine through. (Image 5)
8.	Place a votive candle inside the pumpkin once you are finished. The light from the candle will provide an eerie glow.

	Tips:
	Mistakes and slips of the knife can be mended by pinning the skin back in place with a toothpick or two.
	Warnings:
	This job is beyond messy! Wear an apron and safety goggles, and cover the surrounding work area with newspaper or plastic sheeting to prevent a daunting cleanup job.
	Tips from eHow Users:
	Cover your Dremel (saves cleaning!) by Star B. Place the Dremel (minus the bit) into a plastic bag. Punch a hole in the bag, add the bit, and use the Dremel either in or through the bag. Dremels get the pumpkin mush flying - this saves a lot of cleanup and protects the Dremel.
