It seems like every year the decorations get put up eleairr and eleairr in my house. A radio station near us has been playing Christmas songs 24/7 since Oct 1st, ROFL. I think they are taking it a little too far, lol. LOL, I know how this feels. It seems like every year the decorations get put up eleairr and eleairr in my house.

Russian radar once managed to ignite some piece of trash which fell on its antenna and that caused fire.

Sometimes it seems to help, other times no. This year, we decided to forego the aspirin and bought a packet of tree preservative sold at the tree stand for a couple bucks. I wish the ingredients were listed. Just mixed with warm water. Gotta say, the needle loss was MINIMAL. Had the tree up for 4 weeks. It was still dark green in color, you could pull on the branches and the needles stayed on! Even the day it was taken down. We were very surprised. Areas felt dry and tips of needles still killed me taking the lights off, but over areas still felt soft and fresh. But overall, entire tree LOOKED green and in good shape!

Viagra inhibits a phosphodiesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the relaxing factor produced by cells when they are exposed to nitric oxide. I doubt very much that this mechanism exists in a christmas tree. The study should be performed with an agent that releases nitric oxide in the water reservoir.
