Years ago, when I was younger
I kinda liked a girl I knew
She was mine and we were sweethearts
That was then, but then it's true

I'm in love with a fairytale
Even though it hurts
'Cause I don't care if I lose my mind

Every day, we started fighting
Every night, we fell in love
No one else could make me sadder
But no one else could lift me high above(high above)

When suddenly, we fell apart
Nowadays, I cannot find her
But when I do, we'll get a brand-new start

To find herself a love and finally make a switch
Then you came around, you healed another stitch
And I'm glad about that, I can finally make the switch

And I know, yeah, I know
Many would like to be in my shoes
And I know, yeah, I know
With you, I got nothin' to lose

When I'm down, you can bring me up
Up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p, up-p-p

If you promise you'll understand
I cannot contain myself when in your presence
I'm so humble
Touch me
Don't hide our love
Woman to man

She's just a lover who's doin' me by
Is it worth the giving? Is it worth the try?
You cannot cleave it or put it in the furnace
You cannot wet it, you cannot burn it

She wants to give it
(She wants to give it, ah, she wants to give it) dare me
(She wants to give it, ah, she wants to give it)
She wants to give it, yeah

You can't neglect it, you can't abuse it
It's just desire, you cannot waste It
Then if you want it, then won't you taste it

One thing in life you must understand
The truth of lust woman to man
So open the door and you will see
There are no secrets, make your move,set me free

Ah, because there's something about you, baby

The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was something different
About this girl

The way she moved
Her hair, her face, her lines
Divinity in motion

As she stalked the room
I could feel the aura
Of her presence
Every head turned
Feeling passion and lust

The girl was persuasive
The girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew but I was
Walking the line
Come go with me
I said I have no time
And don't you pretend we didn't
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
She left me standing alone

She's so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But you're no damn good for me

She came at me in sections
With the eyes of desire
I fell trapped into her
Web of sin
A touch, a kiss
A whisper of love
I was at the point
Of no return

Deep in the darkness of
Passion's insanity
I felt taken by lust's
Strange inhumanity
This girl was persuasive
This girl I could not trust
The girl was bad

Slug slime is also said to contain a local anesthetic and for this reason there are anecdotal accounts of live slugs being used to treat toothache.
These local anaesthetic properties (if confirmed) coupled with the antimicrobial properties and hygroscopic nature of the slime might offer significant benefits in the treatment of minor but painful wounds such as superficial burns in humans.

Snails and slugs are both part of the same class of creatures called gastropods. Gastropod comes from the Greek words gastros (stomach) and podos (foot). If you've ever seen a snail in an aquarium eating as it moves slowly along the glass, you probably understand why “stomach foot" might be an appropriate name!
Most gastropods are aquaticcreatures. That means they live in water. Snails and slugs are the only gastropods that can also be found on land. The majority of snails and slugs, though, live in water.
The most obvious difference between snails and slugs is the fact that snails have shells. A snail's shell is like a home it carries around on its back. Slugs, on the other hand, have no shell. Otherwise, snails and slugs are remarkably similar.
Their only other differences are in habitat and behavior, but these differences are the result of the fact that snails have shells and slugs don't. Without those big shells to carry around, slugs can squeeze themselves into many different habitats that snails can't. For example, you may find slugs under loose bark on trees or stones and logs on the ground — places that snails could never go with their shells.
If you spend much time in a garden or the great outdoors, you may be more familiar with snails and slugs that live on land. As they move along, you've probably noticed that they often leave behind a slimy trail.
That slime is called mucus. Snails and slugs make mucus so that they can move on the ground. The mucus keeps their bodies from losing moisture to the dry soil beneath them. It also protects them from being cut by sharp objects in the soil.

People can use the service up to three times a year, although in practice no one would be turned away in an emergency.

Too many potential suitable adoptiveparents are getting turned away because they may not be the right ethnic match, are overweight or may have smoked.

Foods That Help You Absorb More Iron

While not all dietary iron is absorbed equally, some foods can enhance your body's ability to absorb it.

Foods Rich in Vitamin C

Vitamin C has been shown to enhance iron absorption. It captures non-heme iron and stores it in a form that's more easily absorbed by your body (3Trusted Source).
Foods high in vitamin C include citrus fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, bell peppers, melons and strawberries.
In one study, taking 100 mg of vitamin C with a meal increased iron absorption by 67% (13Trusted Source).
Hence, drinking citrus juice or eating other foods rich in vitamin C while you're eating high-iron foods can increase your body's absorption.
In vegetarian and vegan diets, iron absorption may be optimized by including vitamin C-containing vegetables during meals (1Trusted Source).

Studies have also shown that mucus contains peptides such as mucin which possess antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. These antimicrobial peptides not only act as natural antibiotics, but also stimulate many elements of the immune system, including barrier repair and inflammatory cell recruitment. The antibacterial factor from the body surface of the Giant East African Snail, Achatina fulica, for example, exhibited highly positive antibacterial activity both for the Gram-positive bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and for the Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but this activity was lost  when the material was heated at 75º C for 5 min. The antibacterial factor of the snail mucus was shown to be a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 160,000.
